Being a child of the 1970s one of my fondest memories is when my family would gather around the television set on a Sunday evening and watch The Wonderful World of Disney. For nearly four decades The Wonderful World of Disney was a showcase of Disney's popular documentaries, movies, original shows and of course cartoon shorts. Of these wonderful cartoons the memorable ones generally centered around the chipmunk duo of Chip 'n Dale driving Donald Duck crazy.
Such is the case in today's feature entitled Out of Scale in which Donald realizes that the tree that Chip 'n Dale call home just doesn't fit it size wise with his back yard railroad.
Donald's train is actually a smaller version of Casey Jones' train with his engine as an old 4-4-0 engine or an American type steam locomotive No. 2 from The Brave Engineer. with many shots produced from The Brave Engineer. Locomotives of their wheel arrangement were used most common on American railroads from the 1830s until 1928.
The short was inspired by Walt Disney's backyard trainset, the Carolwood Pacific Railroad. Both the short and footage of the model train were featured in the Disney anthology episode Where Do the Stories Come From?
The cartoon's storyline was the basis for the Golden Book "Donald Duck's Toy Train". Disney Wiki
