I really don't see them making a second train ride 

Even though that'd be pretty cool...

The only issue I can think of with the current route is that they're limited to 2 trains at a time with the current route, and even then they have to stop when they're doing the Christmas show. If they're gonna have 5 trains in running order, why not expand it into the woods just enough that they could run 3 trains?

Another "new" engine will be coming online next season.  They won't run another Davenport on the line.  These bigger boys don't have any problem making the loop -- and no I don't ever see them expanding the current loop.

I forgot about the other new engine! 5 running engines when they can only run two at a time seems a bit odd. The other new engine isn't documented on www.steamlocomotive.com

I'm sure this has been said by someone before, but maybe #504 is a sign they are gonna expand the train in the next couple years? Expand it in a way that they can run 3 trains at once, with one back up engine. I hope they keep the train robbery show, if they do change it up!

Also on the topic of the train ride, couldn't they rebuild the Davenport with a larger boiler to fix the traction and lack of steam problems they had with it back when it was running? If they need another train, I'd love to see them run a US built loco, and they do have the Davenport.

Thanks! I still need pictures from inside the cab, if anyone has those (preferably from standing at the back of the loco facing toward the firebox and all the instruments).

I'm trying to build a model of an O&K locomotive, similar to SDC #43. I'm having issues finding pictures, particularly of the interior of the cab. Here's some pictures of what I've got done so far: http://imgur.com/a/pgvegPw
