This is from The Busch Gardens Railroad in Tampa Florida. They have a short 3ft gauge railroad with 4 Crown steam engines.

Great video, engines seem out of square and needing the brasses re-done. Always love the theme park trains, Dollywood by far is the best though.

These locomotives have been worked on, and sound a lot better than in this video.

4-4-0 custom build by crown metal works, there live steam propane fired narrow gauge engines build in the 1960's

BigMatt1225 is correct in that the Yellow #5 is from SF St Louis, the Green #601 (with the large smoke sstack and large cow pusher) came from Kings Dominion when they took out their Old Dominion Rail Line. Th red #9 and green #4 are original to th park and are patterned after steam locomotives that used to run in Africa. I've got two videos of th Serengetti Express and I'm currently uploading on from Busch Gardens Europe of all three of their trains including th Alpine Express on the side rail.

the yellow engine number 5 was at six flags st louis back when the park first opened in 1971 till 1988 then it was sold to busch gardens. When it was at six flags st louis it was in great shape and it was green, it is the twin to the the number 6 that i run now at six flags st louis, both propane fired but still steam, the yellow number 5 needs to come back home to six flags st louis!

I went to busch gardens a few times in Tampa, though it's not my favorite train ride, I still enjoyed it, dollywood express is my favorite

The Crown 4-4-0s are nice steamers, however there are several changes I'd make to improve the aesthetics of the Busch Garden Crowns. firstly, those weird cab roof vents would be removed, the cables coming from the tender to the coaches would be relocated to underneath the car frames, the propane tanks in the tender better concealed, the bells would be hand rung instead of air rung and the whistles changed because those deep tone six chime whistles sound out of place for those locomotives.

I know that they restored one of them recently and I believe they are going to do all of them.

Sounds like they need some timing work done on these engines to get them quartered. Nice sounding whistles though.

@BigMatt1225 14 жыл бұрын

it sounds like they could use some work, they look alright, but its usually the other things that will get ya as far as work done to them is concerned.
