No, I was referring to his having a wee touch of electrical fire and being out of service for some time now.

What, is he back or something?

He was out one day only.

Proof once again that bad news travels faster and more reliably than good news.

Thanks for the update.

Sorry to bring the thread back from the dead, and even more sorry that it has nothing to do with Main Street Electrical Parade. But for the railfans, it may have some interesting info.

Turns out you were right Zazu, she steamed up and ran pretty dang well! Only bad news is that Cedar Point needed some more motive power so they took BACK the 2-4-4 after Knott's rehabbed it and converted it to a 2-4-0 w/ tender. It is now set up to burn coal. It's probably staying @ Cedar Point. I'm so bummed no guests got to ride the loop with this loco.

Pity Kemtron doesn't still make the C-16 kits, you could cobble a C-19 out of them without much trouble.

Well, eBay has given me a variety of On30 C-16s that have sound onboard, and they really satisfy my wants/needs for my model railroad. Only downside is the C-16 for DRG&W is the Bumblebee scheme, which isn't one of my favorites, but after hearing the sound it puts out....awesome. Gonna pick one up come Thursday I'm pretty sure. I'm also considering an On30 inside frame 4-4-0...since I want to buy a locomotive that symbolizes my time @ Disneyland. :)

I'm also considering purchasing some HO 0-4-0s for kitbashing. HO is smaller, and I think it might look more in scale to match the Calico Mine Ride/Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland locomotives that I want to kitbash and build.

Not sure if they're selling this at Florida, but here @ Disneyland we're selling a wonderful model of a MTtNW Loco:
