Just posted a few days ago, this is by far the best insiders look at the making of the DLP trains. Bob Harpur, who ran the engineering side of things narrates much of it (great guy!) and you get to see things during the process that are truly rare. It brings back memories, and hopefully will inspire some more! Very well produced in France.

That was really cool! I wonder what the story is with that gray engine that doesn't have a cab. Though the problem I have is that they are making the C.K. Holliday appear to be the E.P. Ripley! ;)

As I recall, Bob had the vendor (Phillips) to do a "first article" test to be sure the running gear worked. So that is probably the guts of the first engine delivered, the George Washington. There were mechanical issues to iron out as a result. The other trains that followed were better mechanically as the GW was the first one out of the gate. All the trains were cosmetically built up from the same format, a blueprinted DL CK Holliday. Those were the rules we had to live by, and probably the reason they looked so "exotic", in that they needed to be disguised. The Eureka, added later, was built by Severn Lamb.

I clicked on the link to watch it again and it says that the video has been removed by the user. Now why would they take away something like that, guess the user was just teasing us.

You mean with the hundreds of discussion boards that you visit each day, you occasionally miss a topic here and there?

:lol:

I will look into why this was pulled and see if we can get it reposted.

Yes see if you can get it reposted. Tell them that is what our own 4000 post engineer Steve D wants for Christmas from them, since he seemed to miss it. :D

(On a side note I can't belive I saw a topic before Steve did.) :lol:

I'm still waiting to hear back, but the "best guess" is that the park, who had initially approved posting the videos may have decided against it and asked that this as well as many other videos Jean Marc Weiner had posted be removed. This is the speculation.
