the official voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan, is also a very hard core train enthusiast

 
Over the years, I’ve delved deeper into trains, from building a garden railroad in my backyard to becoming a licensed locomotive engineer working with full-sized steam trains. Today, I’m working on restoring my very own half-scale steam locomotive.

It was originally built in the 1960s by a passionate railroad enthusiast named Tommy Thompson, who turned it into a summer excursion train in the town where my family often vacationed.
