Yes! That’s true. I took my 1st train tour in 2015 and the conductor mentioned that. Roger’s original bronze bell is on the Liberty Bell, and the Liberty Bell’s original brass bell is on Roger.

Lilly?
Lilly didn’t have a bell swap
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…

IMO, I don't think No. 3's original bell on Liberty Belle doesn't sound too bad as Broggie thought:
They're talking about the Liberty Belle riverboat, NOT the Lilly Belle locomotive.

From today. Also, The Magic Behind Our Steam Train Tour is coming back this year or next.

We should get a group together for one of the first behind the steams
Hope this turns out to be true

I think it should. They’re slowly rebuilding their team.
If it does come back, I’ll be interested to see how much they increase the price. You couldn’t beat $54 for a 3 plus hour tour.

$129–$149 per Person (tax not included)

The first time I did the tour I was the ONLY one on the tour. Now THAT was a real treat!
It makes sense because they’ve been understaffed since it first reopened. Which is also why they haven’t been able to run 3 trains on busy days.

What makes you think that the WDWRR weren't able to run three trains due to being understaffed? IIRC, they DO run ALL three trains (Walter, Lilly, and Roy) back when the WDWRR reopened from the last two years ago:

3 train operations are very rare. Even at Disneyland where they have 5 locomotives it’s 2 trains most days.
The NOS fire also contributed to the two train operation after the signals died as a result.

Right now on the WDWRR, I saw Lilly and Roger being the only two trains running per livestream video, and I believe Walter is under maintenance.

I know that, but since those 1st few days it’s only been 2. They usually have 3 train operations during the busiest times of the year (Holiday Season, Spring Break, 4 of July) and we didn’t see that at all in 2023. It only happened 1 time this year, and that was when Roger was testing during park hours. As far as Disneyland goes, the block light system was down for most of 2023, so they only ran 2 trains for safety purposes.
