Modeler's Resource: Pictures of the Disneyland Paris Trains

[aftx]

Finally (for this trip anyway), here's Euro Disneyland Railroad #4, the Eureka and its cars, 41 San Francisco, 42 Los Angeles, 43 Monterey, 44 San Diego, 45 Sacramento. If anyone takes to modeling these trains, please post pics!

FYI: Just a few notes about differences in the G. Washington locomotive between my 2002 photo and my 2010 photo (both posted above): There is more decorative detail paint on the domes now. All the wheels on the loco and tender have lost their white walls. The tender now has 'bolder' text and graphics, mostly through red outlines/highlights.

Unlike Anaheim, there is actually a single spot in the park where you can get an unobstructed view of an ENTIRE train car! BTW: Would it hurt to cut some trees along the Rivers of America and let Walt's stream ship and steam trains see each other just now and then??

I personally think they should close off the New Orleans Square station, but leave the platform up and open to the public for that purpose. Then build a new station further up, more into Frontierland, with a new depot building(or move the one across from NOS up there, and restore it to passenger service, whichever)!

Where exactly would you put the station, Jay? Further up the line drops it in Splash Mountain or the Rivers of America. Cutting trees is silly. Passengers on both the river and on the train have a wonderful view of each other just past Hungry Bear or Fort Wilderness depending on your point of view. I have taken many good photos of the entire train viewed from the deck of the Mark Twain and many more from the pilot house. Moving the station up into Frontierland is unrealistic because the train would just begin to move and then end the trip a few feet later at Toontown Station. I defer my opinion to the man whose Park this is and enjoy what he created.

There are actually a few good spots to take photos of the trains in Disneyland Resort Paris (man that hurts to type). Right across Big Thunder, looking at the gysers by Phantom Manor is a good spot, too. If you can time it right, from the deck of the Mark Twain again. There used to be an empty spot by Star Tours where you could get a good view from the ramp looking at the tracks. I like framing the engines in Small World. I never got any shots of Eureka so thank you ATFX for posting them. The only shot I have ever seen is in M Broggie's book.

Did anyone ever post pictures of CK HOLLIDAY and her train set?
