- We finally made it back to Disney! We spent a few days at Magic Kingdom the week of Thanksgiving 2023. Magic Kingdom has had some big changes since our last visit and its not as easy to get clear shots of the train. As I enjoy all things steam powered, I made sure to spend some time on the steam boat Liberty Belle. The park had been decorated for Christmas already. We did the "Very Merry Christmas Party" one night but unfortunately the railroad closed before we got there. What's more Christmas than a steam train?!? We still had a good time and are dreaming of our next trip to the most magical place on earth.
The Roy O. Disney locomotive has since been shipped out for overhaul, and a new whistle was installed on the Walter E. Disney locomotive.
I am glad I got to see the Roy O. Disney last year since it's now gonna be in Strasburg for a few years. By chance, do you know what kind of new whistle the Walter E. Disney relieved? I ask because prior it had the same kind of whistle as 2 & 3 (before refurb) and number 4 was the only one with a different whistle. Please contact me if I am wrong. Also what kind of whistles does each locomotive have?
@@ZachTheRailfannerYT #1 now has a Baldwin 3 chime. The old Buckeye is now on #2 Lilly Belle. Until 2014 only Roy had a different whistle. Lilly Belle is the last one with the Buckeye, while #3 Roger E. Broggie now has a Lonergan 3 chime.
EDIT: Walter now has a Crosby 3 chime
@davidng2336 thank you! BTW what did the number #4 have before getting sent for refurb?
@@ZachTheRailfannerYT American 3-chime from the 1970s (original whistle). Before the current swap, it previously had another similar American 3-chime, but from a now-scrapped second riverboat. That whistle was modified to give it a raspy tone; fast forward to 2015, the modification was undone so that the whistle sounds the way it does normally. The old whistle eventually got so worn that they temporally took a Crosby/Lonergan 3-chime (possibly Roger's whistle) until the 1970's American whistle was reinstalled.
I am certain that the current whistle it had before being shipped out will be the whistle it comes back with.
