Great job on the video,,,, I really like your outside of the cab shots...well done. As a videographer and model Train enuthuiest (sp), I really would like to try this next time I am there. I am also in AZ,, N. Glendale area,
First you go to mainstreet station, if the C.K Holiday #1 or E.P Ripley #2 are out that day ask to ride in the tender seat, if they dont have to fill up with water or blow the steam on that run they normally will let you rider there
i didnt mean that i meant thats it a very easy line to fire on in the vid all the fireman or firewoman does it talk and ring the bell she does no work what do ever. where as on the railway that i fire on is 1 in 50 all the way up the line and you need to work hard!
Not really. Engines 2 and 5 are the hardest to steam and fire. So you gotta prepare for what ever the Ripley or Kimball throw at you. The 4 will bounce around like crazy every time it goes around a tight bend, but she's a nice engine to fire. Engines 1 and 3 are the easy ones to steam & fire, especially the 3.
cab rides are in WDL because Walt Disney himself had jumpseats installed so he could ride around the park. He died before WDW was completed so the jumpseats where never installed.
WOW! You got to ride in the cab! I remember for a while they wern't doing it and they said it was just a jump seat and it got a little oily. I got to ride in the cab too. All you have to do is ask! Great video 5/5.
One of the front right driving rod bearings is forming too much clearence which is causing a knocking sound, and also there is a really bad flat spot on one of the tender wheels. The Holliday had her problems fixed, now the Ripley needs hers fixed too.
According to a DLRR engineer, the loud clanging you hear is a flat wheel on the tender. The Ripley's rods and brass are fairly good condition, unlike the Holliday's before she got her's fixed.
When I was at Disneyland, the sound was coming from the front right driving wheel. With the bearing in good shape, it could be that there is just too much clearence there, and it needs to be tightened. While the tender did sound pretty bad as well.
This engine sounds like it's in dire need of maintenance. It sounds like it has a terrible flat spot on the wheels, or a serious warn drive rod problem.
Wow, cool cab ride. Thank you for sharing!

this looks like the easyest train ever to fire the fireman or firewoman does nothing!
bineees78xx 2 years ago
They do, the fireman or firewoman is responsible for controlling the fire and of course, ring the bell.

Hmmm, it felt more as if it were on the engine- it was pulling really funny. But I hadn't even thought about the tender.

Yes I know, the engine needed a new tire badly! That is why the video is all bouncy.
mramazing31 3 years ago
oh Durango has k-28s and k-36s not k-26s like you say by mistake in the vid, but other wise very nice video.
