All of the Gaggle of Geese back together for the first time since the demise of the Rio Grande Southern?
Yes!

Quite a logistical feat! Geese are being shipped in from all over the country for this once in a lifetime event.

Wow! That would be an event to attend. So many things to do, so little time.
Robert, thanks for the posting, I’m changing my planes to be there.
Kewl! They’re finally all up and running. Most were still in pieces when I was out there. And I didn’t know that Knott’s Berry Farm had one, even though I was out there in the late 70’s.
Like Ric said “So many things to do, so little time.”
I won’t make it , but will still look forward to many pics and videos after it’s done.
I live two hours from Knott’s Berry Farm and didn’t know rhey had one!
Thanks for the article. I also posted it on the DRGW list.
Thanks!
I’ve ridden the Goose at Knott’s. It was such a thrill to experience such a famous piece of narrow gauge history!
It’s the first time Knott’s has ever let a piece of equipment leave their property. But, they’ll all be up and running together. Pretty amazing. 'Tis a pity that #20 couldn’t be there also…

That would be an excellent event to attend, but another trip to the States is out of the question for me, went over in July of 2011, rode the C&T and D&S and visited the Colorado Railroad Museum, it was an excellent adventure, met some wonderful people.
Got to see the Geese first hand at CRM and fell in love with them, unfortunately nothing was running when I was there (4th July). Somebody had better post lots of photos and video for us that can’t get there (or shout me a plane ticket).

June 15th, 16th, 17th. Just signed up for the VIP pass. Anyone else going that I should look out for?
Will be there the 16th. Will likely bring 1 Accucraft and one Berlyn 1:20 r/c geese along for grins, they do have a club track there. I know 2 guys following the Knott’s goose along the delivery route and taking pix the whole way.

Johnathan, we’ll have to set up a meet point somewhere, as the days get closer I’ll contact you.
1 Week till the “Goose Fest”. Any one else besides Jonathan and I going?
Just got the word on the Narrow gauge Discussion Group that Goose #3 will NOT be going to Golden. Sounds like the “suits” at Knott’s Berry Farm had the final say.
