News Roy O. Disney overhaul

[Captain Barbossa]

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…

Just passed the 1 year mark. Strasburg’s shop is slammed, despite large projects wrapping up/fixing to depart, like Southern/GSMR 722. One locomotive leaves, another immediately takes its place. But that’s a testament to Strasburg’s excellent work and reputation. Maybe late spring/early summer of next year.

I would like to see Roy retrieving his original 70s-early 80s darker or mid shade of vermillion logo color background.

How much does the breaking news impact Roy’s overhaul? As far as I’m aware, its just the frame and the new wheels right now.

If you’re referring to the announced temporary shuttle service, not a single bit.

They’re only going to run one engine for the foreseeable future so I don’t think there’s any rush

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.

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.

It didn’t, the pandemic did.
