Disney Railroads Discussion Board

It was reported on the Walt Disney World Railroad Fans and Modelers Facebook page that Lilly Belle was out and about a bit on Monday. No report if it went to the switch at the main. A video and some still pictures posted I saw that! (Primarily because I am the guy who runs that page! :mrgreen:) Eve...

True that. Like, how much is it going to cost, what sort of condition is it in, where you gonna store it, and most importantly: Where you gonna fun it?

I've seen this several times. I'd totally do it. The only problem is finding a locomotive to restore!

So, recently, a HUGE development has been made, not just for fans of the ET&WNC, but for fans of theme park steam as well. Recently, Doe River Gorge Ministries, who owns and operates 3 miles of the former East Tennessee & Western North Carolina (ET&WNC) Railroad, recently Test-fired thei...

So, the Walter E. Disney is finally back at the Magic Kingdom after a few years at Strasburg. I'm guessing she's been computerized, much like Lily has? If that is the case (Which I'm pretty much certain is), are there any notable differences between Walt and Lily's Computer Systems?

Welp, the day is finally here. Walter has left Strasburg. As I type this, I am not 100% sure if he has arrived back at WDWRR, but I imagine so. He spent a total of roughly 3 years and 10 months at Strasburg. Here's the big question though: What exactly is Walt going to do when she gets back? My gue...

Alright then. So, as we all know, Construction Projects were temporarily suspended following the closure of the Walt Disney World Resort in Mid-March. This included the TRON: Lightcycle Run Rollercoaster, which, as we all know, caused the WDWRR to temporarily suspend operations. So, Recently, WDW Ne...
