These may qualify........

RGS Goose rail cars. Made from Pierce Arrow  road cars, bus body and a box car. Cool at any rate. 

Knott's Berry Farm has a Goose restored and runs daily.....I got a full tour on my last visit.

Only on Sunday's and slow days, when they don't have enough guests to fill the "Full size steamie".

We have the annual passes and my kids LOVE this place. Knott's workers are so much more relaxed and gracious to their guests. We think it's a much "happier" place than that other spot in Anaheim! Easier parking and better food too!

No I'm not sponsored, I just like it there.

Me too!!! I live in WV now....but grew up over off Knott's @ La Palma.  We'd go every week.....I'm old enough to have gone when it had no fence or gate cost. I love the steam but only go on low attendance days so we can just walk and look for parts of old Knott's.  The crew spent 20 minutes showing us the Goose because no one was waiting to ride!! That's how I like it! 

Here is a visit on fuzzy 8mm film about 1961  (says 62 but Dad later said he thought 61....either way)

Great footage! So much has changed and so much is still the same. 

There's a lot of things that I wish were still there, like the big lake, the miniature town and the model T racers. Also miss the haunted shack. Good times.

I'd love to take my kids to see the old Knotts!

It's almost 100 years old!

Sorry for the diversion - BACK TO THE DOODLE BOPS!
