Disney Railroads Discussion Board

I'll emphasize that 2005 feels like 8 years ago to me, hence my shock of how long it's actually been, rather than time dragging on. Especially now that I have a 1 year old kiddo, I've already seen the sands of time blink faster than ever. Speaking of Engine 5, stumbled upon this the other day: https...

2005. Very fond memories. On an old Macintosh with dial-up internet, I was searching "Disneyland Railroad" and patiently watching the images load very slowly, hoping I'd find one of this mysterious roundhouse that was new information to me at the time. No luck. Eventually the google links ...

Wow! Glad to hear Knott's isn't wasting time keeping their equipment in top shape.

Pretty nifty video I came across from 1990 showing a very steady view of the engineer's perspective from the cab of the Lilly Belle, traveling from the roundhouse, and a couple laps around the park. Quality is mediocre, but again, it's from 1990. Some neat off-ride views of the old Frontierland stat...

That is an impressive stroke! I guess it's better than the WDW set they keep relabeling for west coast, with the same 2-6-0 for what seems like decades? But I guess the excursion cars are better in that set.

The workmanship is fantastic. Engine 2 has them on both sides, while 1,2, and 4 have them on just the fireman's side. Engine 5 is still "old school" until it goes out for rebuild eventually.
