@adfgfds See "The Walt Disney Railroad Story" by Michael Broogie. There are several pictures of all four engines as they appeared when imagineers, led by Roger Broogie, purchased them. They looked very different. Disney had new boilers and cabs built to make the engines appear they were built during the 19th Century.
@baldwinloco12 #1, Walter E Disney and #3 Walter E Broogie were manufactured at the same time, had consecutive serial numbers, had consecutive cab numbers in Mexico and still serve together today. They have never been apart since they were built.
Does they always have to ring the bell when they pull into the station.

I heard WDW sends the locomotive to the Tweetsie railroad in blowing rock, North Carolina. Do they test them on their track before they go back?

I'm glad Roger saved them from being scrapped :-)
