From the sound of it, the Carolwood Pacific Foundation has agreed to have the original Disneyland RR (SF&DRR) Combine car (AKA Retlaw 1 series). I will post more info if I here more.

So no steam engine or diesel like pictured on the flyer, although I didn't expect it, I bet some people would expect to see at least one of those.

To my knowledge, there has never been a warbonnet F7 on display down there ever.

As for 3751 (the steam engine on the poster) it has been there off and on, but this time the event fell in between the Berdo. event and the Grand Canyon trip.

The Filmore and Western is supposed to bring something down on a low boy, but I don't know what it is, and Disney has one of their engines torn apart, so they can't spare one like usual.

It should be a pretty nice day anyway.

Fillmore & Western is bringing down their 1891 #1 0-4-0T H.K. Porter & Co Wood Burning Locomotive. It should be a pretty nice TWO days!

They're bringing Sespe? Haven't seen that one in a while. As far as I know there are only about 2 or 3 war bonnet painted f's and only 1 of those is a Santa fe original. Ernest S Marsh was supposed to come back from work sooner and would've been displayed but now probably won't be back till August. Complete rebuild; new boiler and all. It is also getting a tender seat.

That is because just about all of them became CF7s.

Interesting how that happened, and unique.

This is both true and unfortunate. The only one is stored in the old sp Sacramento shops currently inoperable and off display to the public. Unlikely to ever come down for Fullerton RR Days. I wonder what the chances are of a cf7 being converted back to F7...

I think there is more of a chance of a Big Boy being restored than that.

Besides, you can just get an F7 and paint it up in the warbonnet.
