How cool! I didn't know that.

The builder's plates effort was a lot of fun... and something that would likely be impossible to make happen today.

Thanks, Steve. I'm not particularly offended by them - although the conjoined elves is gratuitous - they all just seem like an odd choice for a Disney railroad-related site. I guess Temo doesn't sell model trains... yet.

Do the rest of you see these bizarre ads from Temu? Apparently, Temu now sells women: some wearing elf ears, others who look painfully unbalanced.

I thought Boschan was out of business. Can anyone confirm?

Re: #5, I had no idea there is paparazzi for locomotives. Is nothing sacred!?!

Someday, my young padawan, twenty years won't seem like that much time.

As for "another locomotive", it depends on the definition of "they".

Thanks, Sam, your answer makes a lot of sense. It also ties well with Steve's observations about the relative heights of the railroad.

I think we have a solid answer!

That's an interesting question, Sam. I always though that it was either: The RoW wasn't fully terraformed; that is, they left the natural grade in place They wanted a section where the engines would have to work a bit, and thereby create some nice "chuffing" sounds The only comment I've re...

Yes, I do. I got it from Downs Prior, as I recall.

The round SF&D badges, the Viewliner badge, and the Carolwood badge are Bill specials. The rest are original.
