It's worth seeing definetely, I've seen about all the West Coast Steamers in action 3751, 2472, 3985, but the 4449 is an entirely different experience, the sound the look is just something out of another world, any chance you have to see it, take it
Sorry you'll have to get use to the new light, it's the original style and it's staying, besides the old 2 bulb one is out of commision so to speak. You'll get used to it.
I agree with many on their opinion on the new mars light. I like and appreciate both of the mars lights. However, I felt like the older one had a bolder look and flashed more resilliantly.
I agree, I liked the old one better. To me, I felt it was a combination of the twin sealed beams of a Gyra light and the rotation pattern of the original Mars light. I hope they do change it back.
Not good that you can hear the track groaning under the weight. A relaying needed perhaps!

Was Doyal the engineer, because itdoesn't sound like his blowing style, he usually does a quill at the beginning of each honk.
CoasterFan2105 2 years ago
I believe the loco crew was Doyle as the engineer and Luke Johnson as the fireman.

Doyle was the engineer, and Pat Tracy was the fireman.

I kind of miss the old one. The new one looks too yellow. Are they going to change it back?

They have been working on this light for some time. It is very likely that this will be the one that stays.
pnwr1853 2 years ago
Well, tell them I don't like it at all. I want to see the 2 beam mars light back.
