Disney Railroads Discussion Board

Friday at WDW....today is daughters last day at WDW so no train rides this time.
IMHO Walt would never allow the RR to be down this long......

Lillie Belle was out all day running laps per my daughter. At times it carried passengers but not public. She said it could be next week when RR returns to service......just in time for them to head home!! I have a new pic I'll load SAT

No one really knew we derailed but t...

Sorry for the long time between posts.......life has kept me busy. The odd bay window Lionel put on the General's cab to clear the motor is not needed today with modern can motors. So I cut off the bay window and replaced it with a new front cab wall cut from two sheets of .030 plastic. This left a ...
