I actually now wonder if the bell on the Liberty Belle was Roger’s original bell before the swap. I know that there was a bell swap since Roger hated the old bell on the locomotive.

So then I would assume the 4-4-0 ultimately would have been Lilly Belle unless there was another name planned at the time.

I still read in a book by David Leaphart (Walt Disney World Railroads Part 3: Yucatan Jewels) that says that the 4-4-0 didn’t have a name until after Roy O. Disney passed away, as Roy didn’t want his name on any of the locomotives. That info could have changed, however; this info comes from that...

That’s what I’m referring to.

If I remember correctly, Roy didn’t get named until after Roy passed away.

Six Flags Over Georgia uses diesel hydraulic power. But I think the drive wheels on the locomotive are still active, similar to what you said, unlike most other steam outlines where the tender is pushing the locomotive.

The other three locomotive were given eagles upon their return, so I don't see why Roy won't get one after he's done. Lilly, however, didn't get an eagle upon her return in 2016; it was later applied in mid-2017.

This now makes me wonder how they’re gonna do the behind the scenes tour once that starts up again. However I don’t see too much changes.

At this rate as long as these are still steam powered I don’t mind the upgrades. It still hurts to see steam locomotives be converted to diesel power; Six Flags Over Georgia and PortAventura in Spain did such in 2005 and the 2010s, respectively.

Just remember that this was from back when the train was on display at Main Street. I hope they fixed the mess prior to reopening but I haven’t found any good pics.

I guess we will have to figure out where it goes on Roy when he returns then…hopefully not too awkward.

if Roger and Walter can have a cleaner look why not Lilly?!

You know, I'm kinda starting to get annoyed at how awkwardly the black boxes on Lilly Belle were placed. Here's what it looks like: On Walter and Roger, it's placed more normally in the corner of the cab. On both sides of Lilly, it seems to be placed in the middle of the underside of the cab...

New video of Walter and Roger for those who are interested:

I’m down for that

But even the new text font and redesigned tender logo makes it stand out a lot more compared to its old appearance.

Part of me now wonders if the Broggie family was behind some of the changes made to the locomotive…

tbh I did see that post before my reply...so he isn't in the wrong. Back to the paint: I wonder if the pinstriping and Walter's brown stripe could be added back in the future.

I think I just realized something: unlike Walter and Lilly, Roger's repainted colors keeps the small square stripes that you see below the engineer's front window. Walter and Lilly had theirs removed during refurbishment. Likewise, Roger retains his emerald green stripe on the tender, while...

You got a point. PS deleted the screenshot for privacy reasons; I left the quote.
