Long overdue reply but Lilly Belle also received the new buzzer a few months before the railroad went into shuttle mode.

Btw now they're saying that Roy's whistle is actually a modified (replica) Baldwin whistle, which has rectangular chambers instead of the rounder ones. The whistle on Walter currently is supposed to be the same whistle without the modifications.

As far as I know, the closing of the railroad back in 2018 didn't really impact the overhauls of Walter and Roger, so Roy should not be too impacted itself hopefully.

I probably wasn't paying attention to the wiki lol. Thanks for sharing the images btw.

I was wondering about that, since the locomotive wiki thought it was a Baldwin. I was suspecting that it wasn’t a Baldwin because it didn’t sound the same as Walter's Baldwin; it sounds closer to Roy's American. (EDIT: the wiki did say Crosby). I do wonder whether or not this change is...

I wonder why Roger has a new buzzer already…it had the original buzzer in the first video you posted.

My bad lol. I haven’t been on here for a while.

So I found a recent video of a ride behind the Roger E. Broggie. I must come to say this: the Lonergan whistle is gone!

Here’s the new; the old didn’t have those end designs originally.

New tender logo, slightly different text for both the name and tender, and darker shade of green.

They’re definitely doing good stuff with the locomotive. Part of me is still wondering whether or not it will get a redesigned paint job like Roger did…

Is there any major differences between the old and new boilers? Also I heard that Strasburg was the one who built the new ones, so I want to make sure that’s correct.

I’m still finding it stupid that they have to close the railroad again after only two years open, but if it’s what they have to do it’s what they have to do. Meanwhile I’m still not prepared to mourn for the Liberty Belle Riverboat. I’m going to miss the whistle exchange between the two steam...

Thanks so much for the reply Eddie!

Oh hey there! Nice to see you on this thread now!

Welp, thanks to the video you posted on Walter's page, the two twins no longer sound alike anymore.

Nice to hear it again!

The NOS fire also contributed to the two train operation after the signals died as a result.

Correct. The Liberty Belle riverboat and the Roger E. Broggie locomotive did the bell swap, not the Lilly Belle locomotive. I know, the Liberty Belle and Lilly Belle names can be confusing…

Funny how Roy's second concept art has him with the smokestack that ultimately was placed onto Walter.
