The Ripley is the lightest engine, with the Forneys at 18 tons, the Holliday at 14 tons, and the 2-4-0 at 13 tons. The Ripley also had problems with pulling over in the past, and is known for having her bearings making knocking sounds. She is a good performer, even though she is the weekest engine, she could still haul a 9 car train around the park now problem. The Ripley was Walts favorite engine, and was steamed up before C.K. 2 weeks before the opening of the Park in 1955. She was on display in Fullerton in 2006.
