At the end with Lilly LOL. She’s like, I’ve got one job and that’s to be a real pain in the ass with you, you understand me ? I don’t like having a computer on me (*cries by releasing huge steam show*) 🤣
Really enjoyed the video, that wheel slip on Lilly was quite a sight, the engineer was really having a hard time with her. I also loved the being with Roger being brought out into the mainline. Also, is it me or does Lilly now have a brass eagle on top of her sand dome?
thanks, lilly does have an eagle. other engineers were better in starting her. also remember that there is a 2% grade at that spot and florida can get very rainy in the summer
I know the 2% grade is harder for Lilly and Roy especially in the rainy weather. That eagle must be new because I don't think she had it when I last saw her in December. I was there in May also but Lilly wasn't running the day I went, only Roger and Roy.
Disneyland now has a 2% percent grade on their new route, and it's VERY easy for those tiny engines to slip, even powerful engine 4. You need a good running start in Splash Mountain Tunnel and need to go At LEAST 10 feet per-second once you hit the first bridge on the new route or you WILL stall on the grade.
planning a trip next summer when tender rides and hopefully engine 2 will be back. sounds like the challenge to go fast enough to get up the hill changes the entire DRR which used to be flat and easy(since the 2005 track replacement until 2016). also i am planning to film some let's plays of preston's DRR sim which is almost out. i think in one of them i'll try to see how quickly i can reach 10FPS with the Ripley at the worst conditions possible(he didn't add excursion to the sim so i think i'll use an extended holiday red for it) to see if i can make it up the grade
Can any explain why, at 2:13 , when the piston is moving forward the steam exits from the rear of the piston? i assumed if the piston was moving forward, that the steam would exit from the forward steam cock, since that portion of the piston is being evacuated?
@@giladmarkman I understand now, the drain leads directly to the steam cylinder, so when the cylinder is being filled with steam, the drain will allow a small part of that steam to blow water out of the bottom of the cylinder. thanks.

hahahahahahaha
Roy is like the old man of the Walt Disney World Railroad

i saw all three slipping, even #3

When I did the Steam Train Tour, I got to step into the cap of Roger E. Broggie.
I love those steam trains at Disney world
Hey, thats me at 2:00!
Thanks for the drain valve show. I wish you guys had tender rides like the west coast
The Lilly Belle is the best looking Baldwin I’ve ever seen. Wonder if they offer cab rides, but I don’t think that is likely at all.
Armagon Armagon at wdw they don’t but it’s back at Disneyland
I think they started last year

the higher pressure is at the rear of the piston. water is still being evacuated from the front. but both drains are on at the same time
@@giladmarkman I understand now, the drain leads directly to the steam cylinder, so when the cylinder is being filled with steam, the drain will allow a small part of that steam to blow water out of the bottom of the cylinder. thanks.
@@harrisonlong644 youre welcome
I wish you were able to go to the railroad crossings... It stinks how they're only available to Disney workers.
yeah at disneyland too
@@C.Q_Wilkenson never really thought about that
Is this train still in operation?
It’s currently down, nobody knows until when
@@giladmarkman It's back now.
@@davidng2336 I know
Awesome!
thanks.
@@giladmarkman I wonder when the Walter E Disney Locomotive will run again
@@sebastianfloyd372 guess when they reopen the railroad
