They got the 5th one as part of a deal, so while they paid a couple thousand (don't remember exact $$$) for each of the others, they only paid like $800 for the 5th. They found out why when Roger went to get a photo with it to commemorate his great deal!
Well..... this is kind of like going to see an old friend or close relative in the hospital, and realizing they're far more sick than you ever thought. It's a little depressing :-(
But when it's done, it'll be better then ever.
Don't worry it's just the old boiler. At one point Lilly was all parts!
Reallly? Awesome! Do you have any links?
...and add another!Incorrect!
I think I found where they used to be at: https://www.burnsland.com/disneyrailroads/viewtopic.php?p=58252#p58252 (should take you to page 4, 3rd post).
Fixed it. I understand that there are a lot of WDWRR railfans on the forums, and that makes me happy. I was just trying to imply that @EricsBiscuit and I follow the WDWRR much closer than others, so we tend to know more about current operations and stuff that's going on regarding the WDWRR

If I lived close enough I would want to work part time at WDW. And of course my dream job would be on the steam trains!
I was fortunate enough to get a "Behind the Steam" tour for my birthday two years ago. It was a simply amazing. Anyone who is a train buff at all should do this. It was so much fun I would consider doing it again.
We're most likely going in May, and I have already saved up some money specifically for the tour. I've been wanting to go on it for years!The most fun I have had at WDW was on my first Magic Behind Our Steam Trains tour. I was the ONLY ONE who had scheduled that day! I got to do everything they allow you to do and had the engineer / guide all to myself for the whole tour. I have done the tour three times - and will do it again - but that first time was the best. The only thing I didn't get to do that I wanted to do was ride in the locomotive.
You will never forget it!

Not sure, but sounds like it might be tougher to get into than Club 33.What does it take to join that club? Knowing Roger has been out of commission for a while while they work on him inhouse. That Lilly blew a steam **** recently and they were down to a one train operation for a short time? Both Roy's whistle and Rogers whistle have been adjusted recently. Running out to the park to see those freshly painted wheels. PS not necessarily in that order. Just wondering.....
As with the monorail, I too am also a fan of the WDWRR
