Here is a kind of cool video of the garden railway in EPCOT.

Yes, that was great! I just wish they would run some TRAINS and not just engines. Is it a maintenance issue? Someone does a great job of maintaining the scenery, though. Which brings up a question: Who is responsible for this layout? Its a very popular attraction, sometimes with a crowd around it.

:idea:

Hey, they could run a "guest train of the day"! :wink:

I have seen a place on the track where a locomotive had stopped (derailed) but kept running wearing a divit in the rail. That track could not be used until it was replaced. Sorry I don't have photo, I tried but too small and to far to get a good photo.

What is with people running solo LGB locomotives? Ive seen a display with a CS Mogul running backwards solo and a giant layout with only an ABA set of F7s running.

Wow. That reminds me a lot of the train ride I took thru the countryside from Munich south to Neuschwanstein.

I don't know about anyone else, but you'll never ever see that on my layout where all of my LGB locomotives are pulling cars.

Surprise! I was at Epcot last night and for the first time in months (that I've seen), the two engines on the Epcot Garden Railway mainlines were each pulling one car. One with a work car and the other a passenger car.

One car?! You think that Disney could afford some more... :wink:

I agree. Out of all the times I visited this little Graden Railroad. The most cars I ever say a engine pulled one time was a diesel pulling 4 passenger cars (sorry but I cant remember what type of engine it was). But for most of the time they mostly run with just light engines or with 1 or 2 car consits on most of the times when I visited.

They need to look up other garden railroad and see how much their layout trains pull compaired to theirs. :wink:
