Disneyland Railroad Paris

[IDMT129]

Found this on the web, don't know where it came from, it was on google, so props to whomever snapped it, and sorry for lifting it, but I give you credit.

Wheels are missing paint. Graphite is flaking off the smoke box. Primer showing in places brass polish has no business being. I don't remember any other Disneyland engine looking like this.

I agree the dented air brake is excessive and I can't think of why other than a crowbar repeatedly bashing it would make it become dented like that under normal operations. The #2 is also sad. Without knowing what the round house crew is allowed to do or not do is hard to say since we have no one from DRP on the boards.

While I agree that is bad show, I think it pales in comparison to the DLP engine.

Hmmmmm... I'm glad I don't have those problems with my DLP engines or Fred Gurley. I'm really looking forward to showing you what IDMT129 has in the works.

it almost seems like they are doing it on purpose for an overly weathered "#### of Wheels" look...

The number plate is just a joke. I mean really that was the best they could come up with even if it is a temp fix at least put it on straight.

Last month I went to Disneyland Paris and was very excited to ride the Paris Disneyland Railroad. It is a shame how devalued their railroad is though. The train only operates from 10am-5pm, even though the park is open until 11pm. They also only had one train running from 10-11:30 until they bring out a second train from 11:30-4:00. The lines were extremely long with wait time over 2 hours at Main Street Station and an hour wait at Fantasyland Station and Tomorrowland Station. Frontierland Station was closed for renovation. The trains themselves were gorgeous and the ride was great! They were running the #3 G. Washington as the main train that ran the full day on both days when I was at the park. #2 C.K. Holliday was the secondary train that ran only from 11:30am-4:00pm. I found it interesting when the trains would start to go- they would jerk backwards first and then they would slip like crazy before pulling out of the station. This happened on both trains at each station.
