@disneytrain2001 The pin striping you’re referring to was changed when the right side of the headlamp was repainted from the 3 to the current picture of a bear, which was pre Tweetsie.

That's probably due to the incorrect color hue which what make you think of pre-Tweetsie. XP

I'm talking about the cylinder not the headlamp. XP
Yeah, no. It’s the original.
So am I. Did you read my post? Lol

Eh, not really. But I’m done kicking a dead horse. Let’s agree to disagree on this one.
All locomotives came back from strasburg with some small difference. For Roger that difference is the decals for the name of the locomotive and the lettering on the tender. It’s a different font and it’s gold instead of white, but the decals are not metallic like Roy’s. I hope Roy comes back with the metallic lettering or perhaps update it to gold chrome.

Listening to both whistles carefully, Walter's Crosby 4 inch 3-chime had a lower note, while Roger's Lonergan 3.5 inch 3-chime had a somewhat higher note. I love seeing the Ten-Wheeler Twins both wearing whistles that almost sounded similar to one another.

Compared to the Lilly Belle and pictures from being on display during the closure, Roger’s stack has been lowered a few inches. To me it’s not a big deal. For those who don’t remember, Walter used to fit through the roundhouse doors by only a HALF INCH because it had the tallest stack, and it was lowered because the Tron tunnel is about the same height.
It’s not a big deal for me either. To me, #1 and #3 were always on the taller side so they had to be lowered. But it's actually kinda funny that #3 needed smokestack height adjustments because Nos. 2 and 3 have the same smokestacks. Not sure if #2 underwent a smokestack height adjustment during its overhaul but clearly it fits through the tunnel. So does #4, and if that one doesn’t need its smokestack to be adjusted, it might save time during its refurbishment.

Lol who knows if Disneyland will ever demand to get the original bell back. I mean they didn’t use the bell in the video.

Nah, I've paid close attention to very small details and I'm 100% certain that the top photo was taken around 2004, because I can tell that Roger looks more an "emerald green" instead of a "deep hunter green" like Lilly.

Strasburg had them made and assembled them, they don’t actually make the boilers at Strasburg shops though.
Strasburg is a great place to visit - one of the only tourist railroads around that runs steam powered trains 100%. Across the street is the railroad museum of Pennsylvania, one of the best railroad museums in the country, and also the choo choo barn - a fantastic model railroad with many custom animations.
