I want to clear out the misconception about Roy's dynamo replacement. It was actually replaced with batteries at probably around 2018, because I can tell you that Roy's dynamo housing was still emitting steam during 2017:

Wait a minute, I thought Roy's dynamo got replaced in 2018, because I can tell that Roy's steam generator housing was still emitting steam during 2017:

IMO, if Roger is now wearing his current Lonergan 3.5 inch 3-chime, I want Walter to wear a Crosby with the same diameter size and number of chimes as Roger's Lonergan so that way the Twins would both almost sound similar to one another. Here's some sound samples. Crosby: Lonergan:

But I think you need be to on topic with the other discussion next time: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/roger-e-broggie-overhaul.955666

Unfortunately, the video was privatized...

That's good to hear, it's about time Roy is getting an overhaul! I hope he gets a new frame, because I tell his smokebox saddle is so badly rusted!

Not quite sure yet... 🤷‍♂️

I've found a photo of you-know-who under testing at dawn, which was posted on Instagram from about a week ago 😏:

I believe Lilly went to Tweetsie Railroad there once in 1997, before she returned to WDW a year later.

Yes, but the feedwater heaters worked the same way as the heat exchangers and another term for the latter that I prefer. :p

WHAT?! You mean the feedwater heaters are thrown away?! 😲

Aside from that, what happened to the WDWRR locomotives' feedwater heaters? I hope they're in storage in the roundhouse somewhere.

Really? So that explains why Roy's steam generator box no longer emits steam.

So that means Roy have already shipped off to Strasburg!

Since you said you only saw Roger outside the roundhouse four days ago. Didn't you see anyone in the fifth bay?

I've notice Walter pulling Roy's cars today:

Walter and Lilly are the only two trains running today per livestream video: But Roger is not ready to take passengers around the park yet, it's probably still under testing.

I heard Walter's Buckeye whistle is now on the Lilly Belle, replacing the latter's foul and out of tune Buckeye whistle. Take a close listening to this video around the 4:00:00 mark:

That's right, because the feedwater heater ONLY depends on the steam generator and NOT the battery. But with Walter, Lilly, and Roger now equipped with a large battery behind their tender, there's no way to generate the feedwater heater. Roy will be given the same treatment as the other three...

Fun Fact: During the late 1990s, former WDWRR roundhouse foreman George Britton built a feedwater heater (heat exchanger) from scratch on his own and install it on to the Lilly Belle. This was made to pre-heat the locomotive's water and improve its efficiency. Britton gave the same treatment to...
