A Grantland Rice Sportscope from Paramount follows members of the Southern California branch of the Live Steam Model Locomotives Club as they build and ride their one-inch-to-the-foot scale steam locomotives. These hobbyists create powerful models that can transport them along the tracks they build, with many replicas mirroring actual US railway locomotives. The short features Walt Disney, a model-train expert, building his "Diamond Slacker" and taking kids on a ride through his elaborate miniature system.
