An Orange Empire Railway Museum volunteer told me the O scale Red Car in the Trolley Treats window that runs around Big Rock Candy Mountain was made by:

I find it interesting that neither Brookville or the Car Works state on their website their products are used in DCA

They are not allowed to. Ask our common friends, Tom. He can tell you what it is like displaying and making items for Disneyland.

Locoboy, it doesn't run very fast; there is also a HO scale model that runs on a track above it.
