The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, United States, serves as the corporate headquarters for The Walt Disney Company media conglomerate. Besides housing offices for the company's many divisions, the Walt Disney Studios' 51-acre (20.6 ha) studio lot also contains several sound stages, a backlot and other production facilities for Walt Disney Studios' motion picture production.The Studios are one of two major film studios that do not currently offer backlot tours to the general public, the other being 20th Century Fox. For several years, Adventures by Disney has offered tours of the studio, but only as an integral component of their six-day, five-night Southern California tour package. The other way to tour the studio is to join the official Disney D23 fan club, which offers tours to members every few months. The studio used to open to the public once a year in November on the Saturday before Thanksgiving for its annual Magical Holiday Faire craft sale, but stopped hosting the Faire around 2003. As an aid to visitors, many buildings on the Disney lot are currently marked with identifying signs that include historical information and trivia about each site.The Studio is a part of the Walt Disney Studios' Disney Studio Services unit along with Golden Oak Ranch, The Prospect Studios and KABC-7 Studio B.
The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum (LALSRM) was founded in 1956. It was started by train enthusiasts for the purpose of educating people in railroad history and lore and also to further the avocation of live steam, gas-mechanical and electronic railroad technology.
The Barn originally sat in Walt Disney's backyard in Holmby Hills, amongst his beloved Carolwood Pacific Railroad layout. (Carolwood was the name of the street on which the house was located.) After the death of Lillian Disney (Walt's widow) in 1997, the family sold the Carolwood home. The barn was removed and placed in the care of the Los Angeles Live Steamers and the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society. The Barn is now a museum dedicated to Walt's love of trains and model railroading. The exhibits chronicle how trains influenced many aspects of Walt's life, including the creation of Disneyland Park.
