This is all good news, even though I haven't been there since 1954. It is amazing that this theme park continues to run 1881 steam when others are getting rid of even their phony gas-powered steam-outline trains.
One question-- do No. 340 and 41 retain their old boilers or have they been replaced? Also, how do they compensate for wear while going around in a circle all the time? Flange oilers? Transposing wheels from left to right?
