The train cars say "Disneyland" on the sides. On the bottoms of the amusement park rides is imprinted the letters "MAC AU". The bottoms of the yellow track pieces have "Walt Disney Productions" on them. There are four gear-operated rides; ferris wheel, paddle boat, merry-go-round, airplanes. There are little railroad crossing gates that direct the train. The engine is blue and yellow with the name "Mickey Mouse" on it. The characters are Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and the 3 Little Pigs, but I only have Daisy. Hope this helps.

Susan, I suggest searching online and asking your local antique shops to keep an eye out for you. My daughter had one of those sets; but we've long since recycled that to another family with youngsters. It was/is an adorable toy!

This is a set I bought in 1988 that had 36 pieces. It had a battery operated train that ran on a four looped orange track. It had Disney characters that rode on the train and had little rides that the train powered when it went past them. Do you have any idea of where I can find one?

(But don't rule out thrift shops & online outlets either.) Matthew, fake bird poo at Disney? I bet that's right collectible too! I’m glad you all dug the groovy Disney ;)

I went to Disney World once as a lad... and remember, near the OLD "Captain Nemo Sub Ride", sitting on a rock and, to my horror, realising it was "white" with, I assumed, bird guano. Well, I laughed... and brought it to the attention of my folks that it was "painted on" plastic bird poop! It was FAKE! Even as a kid, I made the comment... "Couldn't they scrape together any REAL bird poo?" I wonder if their miniature toy replicas also contain(ed) the fake bird poop? Disney, Disney, everywhere!!!
