      That sounds like a track crew problem. Check gage. Install gage bars as required.
      In putting the cars away at Swanton Pacific one could not get the 1912 up next to the car barn on track one without dropping the pilot truck on the ground. The 1914 could go into Track one without a problem. That was an articulation problem on the pilot truck linkage. They are different. It was fun putting the cars away, and most people missed the show. One can watch it here on UA-cam.

    Good morning Arizona Ghost Riders. Your friend Ted here. Back in New York when I work part-time at a petting zoo on Long Island we had a gas powered train as well . I have working on it and helped to maintain it. Every so often the train would jump tracks and it was a pain in the ass to get back on . The name of the petting zoo was the Long Island Game Farm. It was a pretty decent sized petting zoo with lots of exotic animals and I got to play with all of them, even the ones I didn't like. Stay safe my friend

    My favorite theme park trains growing up were the steamers on the Omaha Zoo Railroad. Number 119 was made by Crown Metal Products in the 1960s. Their second, Riva, was built in Austria in 1890 and worked in Italy, Romania , Poland and Austria before coming to Omaha in the 1970s.Both run on 2 ft 6 in gauge.

Only lost two passengers, eh? Landed up on cactus, eh? Glad it was there to break the fall. 🤣🤠🌵 Guess Rex was not hungry. Did not snag a passenger from the train. Always great episodes!

    Santee, there is a family owned business in Strasburg, Co. Uhrich Locomotive that specializes in “grand scale” model trains. They manufacture locomotives and rolling stock, mainly for the amusement park industry. That make both live steam as well as gasoline powered models. One of their creations is in Tiny Town Co. And another is in Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver, I believe these are both live steam. I had the opportunity to visit their facility several years ago. On that day they tested a model of D&RGW’s K27 live steam, what a beautiful product!

    I'm actually looking forward to going to a Western theme park at some point that's in North Carolina....it's like 3 hours from where I live. It's called Tweetsie Railroad, and they do themed rides for Halloween and Christmas, they also use two actual steam powered trains at the park...sure it's meant for families but my old beloved Ghost Town In the Sky theme park my family used to go to closed down years ago and I've been desperate to get just a taste of that feeling for decades now so I'm willing to look outta place as a 30+ year old man going to the park by myself lol.

    In Poway (North/East San Diego, Ca) they have a park with a couple of real trains from the 1800s (Steam powered).
    They were someone’s personal trains. They each have an extra passenger car.
    They also have some real coal carrying cars that had benches added.
    I used to take my kids there every week. It was only like 50 cents to ride the train around the park (the park was circled with a train track)

    Been a fan of trains since I was a kid (about 6). Where I grew up, Western Washington, the town of Anacortes had a small steam engine train (hand built from an old copper boiler someone found) that ran on some track rescued from a logging operation. it has a turn table at each end. They stopped running it when the man who built it passed on. Here in Fairbanks, AK we have a little train at Pioneer Park.

    Another excellent episode. San Antonio has had a miniature railroad for years. When I was a child there were two trains running, a steam locomotive similar to the one here and a more "modern" F7 looking engine with open streamlined passenger cars. Both of those were retired in the late 80s or early 90s and two newer trains replace them, both steam replicas. Ha! We've even got a tunnel!!!

    A great video Santee! I was lucky growing up in that NC has a western theme park called "Tweetsie Railroad" up in the mountains where they run a couple of old steam locomotives! The old west town even had a hoosegow with a locking cell. First time I got to see a staged gunfight. They also had a chair lift up to a prospectors section. Later on in life I stopped in Nevada City and Virginia City, Montana which had a steam train ride at the time. I guess my next stop will be the Durango and Silverton at sometime. Always fun to imagine riding west on these iron horses, and even with the smaller attraction trains still make it fun. Thank you again!

    Just down the road from where I live now( stuck behind the iron curtain) is a park and yearly old engine show week at Buckley. There They have a full size steam engine train using coal for fuel. Tracks about 2 miles and ride offered. Also a steam powered sawmill. A mill much like the one at my first job at 12 years old.

    Once upon a time, we had a narrow gage train at Brookfield Zoo - you can still see where the tracks were - but we went to trams. We DO still have a contemporary of Rex's - a Trachodon.

    Very awsomely and interestingly informative, I really liked and enjoyed it, I learned a lot about amusement park trains abd old west frontier reenactments and got a lot of inspiration for my old west frontier, videogames ,retro and retrofuturism inspired writing projects.
    Great job, well done and keep up the great work.
    I'm definitely going to add both trains and amusement park trains to my writing projects world and theory stories as well as monorails, MotorHoop vehicles and hover crafts.
