Can anyone help?

I am trying to figure out the gauge motive power and exact color for the Viewliner that was at Disneyland.

I would love to build a modle of it but need the sizes.

Thank you in advence.

30" gauge.

Daveland has some color photos on his site. Here's one: Remember--there were two Viewliners--one for Fantasyland, the other for Tomorrowland. There are other threads here on Burnsland that talk about the Viewliner. Here's a good one: http://burnsland.com/disneyrailroads/viewtopic.php?t=1&highlight=viewliner

It was powered by whatever powered an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 from that time frame.

Do you think Disney make a working modle of the Viewliner?

Only if Michale Campbell had anything to do with it!

But seriously, I doubt Disney or any manufacturer would produce a model of an attraction that lasted only little longer than a year in the mid-1950s and that 99.999% of the paying guests have absolutely no knowledge of.

If you want to produce something in O gauge, MTH made a model of the Aerotrain--the basis for Walt's train of the future.

(Note to self: scrap plans for G-scale Viewliner. Notify the people devastated by this decision: both of them.)

I Knew that they were red and blue but does any one know the specific shade of each or at least have a picture of the blue train for reference.

As Steve D. stated in his earlier reply, "Daveland has some color photos on his site."

Maybe if you go to his site you'll find a picture. Third row down. Third picture from the left. Labeled "The Fantasyland Viewliner, March 1958."

Here's the best article about the designing and building of the Viewliner -- a column by the designer, Bob Gurr.

PS. If you enjoy that column, there is a link to all of his columns at the end of that one.

No.
