Where is the Lilly Belle Steam train?

[Paul jr]

It's been a few years that Lilly Belle is in refurb out of the WDW roundhouse.
Did someone know the statut of the work done on this engine? I think that the most of the work was done on the boiler and the smokeboxe. Am I right?

Sorry I didn't find a other tread on this subject.

Isn't that in Disneyland?

Never mind I got mixed up

I know it was in refurbishment as of 2 years ago, not sure if it's back yet. I haven't heard much of it lately.

I've heard that the work was completed but Disney and the refurbisher are quarreling over costs and that's put the engine herself in legal limbo.

In Sept 2011 when I took the steam train tour it was at Stroudsburg RR in PA getting refurbished. Not sure if its still in PA or if its made its way back to WDW yet.

There was another thread. I'm pretty sure it left Strasburg and went to another outfit for work.

They had it when I went last year. My fiancee and I tried to ride in it on our anniversary but all the spots were taken.

I think you are talking about the Lilly Belle presidential car at Disneyland. Here I was asking about de the Lilly Belle engine #2 at WDW.

Maybe wdw71fan will have more info now. The last comment about the refurb on this thread http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/no-steam-trains-at-mk-today-no-word-why.862713/ is almost a year old now. Alot can happen in 1 year.

The Strasburg Rail Road had it for the extensive boiler work. As of April 2013 it was still there. Since then I have not known of its whereabouts.

From a separate forum, so take it with a grain of salt as I have no idea how reliable or unreliable the sources are:

"Just talked to one of my sources tonight.

Lilly *will* be back this year - but, with some changes. :/

How 'bout "electronic ignition"?

Lilly is back and yes still steam

I've heard people say she's computerized and others not mention computerization at all. To clear the air: is she at all computerized (electronic ignition, automatic fireman controls, sensors for the fire that control it, etc)? Or was that just some big rumor that's been pushed around and people have since accepted?
