You're missing the point. But then, why should that surprise me?

I agree with CustomFabricators. In this day and age, it's hard to be picky when there's so few left. It's amazing that theme park companies are still willing to pour the required amount of money in to have live steam in the first place. Kudos to them. The general public doesn't know period steam locomotives from adam.

You're right, I take it back. Let's appeal to the lowest common denominator. :roll:

There's a sucker born every minute, and besides, they'll never know. :roll:

Is the main concern that it would run next to the Colorado equipment?

At the CP & LE RR, we have two steam engines rotting away. The first one is Jenny K. sitting under a tarp in the back of the Engine House. It needs a new boiler. The second one is Albert. It is sitting out on display on the Frontier Trail needing frame work and new drivers. With the purchase of the Paramount parks, I don't think Cedar Fair will put much money into the railroad any time soon.

:cry:

The main concern (for me) is that the engine is thematically inconsistent with what's there already. This concept of "theme" has been so watered down at many of our finer "theme" parks that the concept often means little to our younger members, who are too young to remember when things were different.
