Take A Grand Circle Tour of the Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad at the Studio Chapter's Next Special Event!


A Private Tour of the Castle Peak & Thunder Railroad!

The Studio Chapter of the Disneyana Fan Club will be following in the footsteps of the Friends of the Mouse and pay a visit to the Orange County location of the Castle Peak And Thunder Railroad (CPTRR).  This railroad is a backyard garden railroad built over a span of years by architect David Sheegog, a big Disney fan.  You can check it out on David's website at www.cptrr.webs.com  It is AMAZING!

David Sheegog grew up in Southern California in the 1960’s surrounded by orange groves. If the wind was blowing in the right direction and he listened for it, he could clearly hear the sound of a steam whistle and the clanging of a bell signaling the coming and going of trains. The passengers on these trains were enjoying a Grand Circle Tour of Walt Disney’s original park, Disneyland.

Many years later, David built his backyard garden railroad themed after the place that he (and all of us) have come to love so much.

Join us as we embark on our own Grand Circle Tour of the Castle Peak & Thunder Railroad!
