mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The caboose is cool :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Tony-First, I agree with Lou, it's good to see a post from you.Second, that is a cool item, but realistically, it's just a decorative piece-and it doesn't appear to have any WDW markings. It looks like it must have been refinished, which I think diminishes its value to a Disney fan.I wonder where the restaurant is where the seller had this displayed?.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The key word in the add is replica. Not from WDW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The key word in the add is replica. Not from WDW.I think he meant "replica" meaning it was not an actual piece of the train. It does say it was used at WDW as a photo prop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does say it was used at WDW as a photo prop.Yes, and I recall seeing photos of people dressed in old-time costumes standing on something that looked like this prop.I don't remember ever seeing it in the park, but I believe that there used to be something like this there.I read the ad as suggesting that this was an authentic prop that had been used at WDW.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Then how did he know the original cost to build? JMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Then how did he know the original cost to build? JMHO.I doubt that he knows, but it sure makes it sound like you're getting a great deal at $1200, doesn't it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Just in case anyone is interested, I found this old WDW promotional video on Youtube.The train station prop shows up at 1:29. The one in the video looks similar to the one on Craig's List, but I'm not sure they are the same item:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY-CKm4eWzs&list=UUNZAVs0rss8NTpCeJNTQDeQ&index=1&feature=plcpTCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still think he would have said "original" WDW photo prop not replica if it actually came from the park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
