Re: Response to Ed Kelley - Re: Rachel

I must have jumbled words when writing that...here's what it should have said...
"Elizabeth" at Opryland was the 'prototype' Custom Fabricators locomotive (CF being the red ex-Great America engine for sale). "Rachel" I meant ran at Doe River Gorge (until Nov), I was trying to place that the Custom Fabricators "Elizabeth" ran with "Rachel" at Opryland...but it ended up sounding different! I had forgotten on the DRG site that the modern Plymouth is referred to as the "Deezul". Rachel burned oil since the conversion (maybe this was changed) which had a fake woodpile around it. "Elizabeth" was NEVER a steam locomotive so I was told. Keystone rebuilt "Rachel", and another (Porter, not Vulcan like "Rachel) 0-4-0T into "Beatrice", another 2-4-4. "Beatrice" was 'bastardized' in-house at Opryland and became a diseasel; or rather a 2-4-0 with a diesel in the 'tender'. "Beatrice" is now at Six Flags America in Largo, Maryland. I believe the tracks were in place from the previous operation which was George Roose (I believe). Had the "Melodia" and the Vulcan that were in the Norred collection, now in Santa Margarita, CA.
Hope this clears things up.
