Well, that's unfortunate. Talk about eliminating character. I didn't even like when the changed 41's name to "Walter K," from the original D&RG "Red Cliff."Bruce R Pier wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 12:31 pm Yeah, it's true https://www.knotts.com/rides-experience ... o-railroad

Re: Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Thanks for the details Steve! For some reason I got a little chuckle out of the fact that the locomotive inspector's name was "Leakey." :lol: It actually was "Laekey," but it got auto-corrected. Someone told me that the GT&C RR has been re-named to just the "Calico Rail...

Re: Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Back to 41, I was able to pick up a monthly locomotive inspection and repair report from the Rio Grande Southern, dated November 7, 1938 for No. 41! The safety valves were set at 160 and163 psi, and the testing took place in Ridgeway, CO. Inspector was L.J. Leakey. A neat piece of history for an eng...

Re: Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Wonder why they didn't fix the dent in the forward air compressor jacket. Also, I wish they'd re-install the correct class lamps. And those RGS flags are kinda neat, but also kinda too big!

Re: Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Thanks! That is so bizarre looking! There isn't even a coupler--let alone a coupler pocket--so it couldn't even be used for any switching.
And no pilot beam handrails, which definitely precludes anyone from actually riding the footboards (which is forbidden on lots of railroads).

Re: Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Thanks for the video, Locoboy. I don't think I've seen her fitted with a footboard pilot, but I agree, the boiler tube pilot is more appropriate. She had the boiler tube pilot the last time I saw her at Knott's 18 years ago, so not sure when the footboard pilot was installed. The last vestige of &qu...

Knott's Berry Farm No. 41
Being out of the SoCal amusement park scene, I did not realize that Knott's Ghost Town & Calico Ry. No. 41 (currently named "Walter K," but which will always be known to me as "Red Cliff"), was sent to Durango, Colorado for a complete overhaul a couple years ago. Last Novembe...

Re: Rare Badges On EBay
WOW! Those are great finds! I have never even heard of a "Trainmaster" badge, but from all appearances, it looks authentic. I have seen the driver of the motorized fire engine with a hat and badge but could never see the wording. "Motorman" might definitely fill the bill. Calling...

Re: Once Upon a Train Episode 3: SF&D Combine
I have an episode suggestion: How about one on the builder's plates for No.'s 1 and 2?
