Reply to "George Washington WAS Walter E. Disney?"

Yep. Basically they took measurements of the Walter E. Disney at WDW. Had a display model set up with a couple of prototypes. They started production of them when the licensing deal fell through, so the models were painted in the American Circus, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln schemes. Didn't realize until I got my own that they actually were painted for WDWRR before the deal fell through and had to have the markings covered up.

I lucked out as a hobby shop I found using the MTH search tool had the George Washington and was willing to negotiate, I got it brand new for under $300. I see them pop up from time to time on ebay, but never really all that cheap. 

And there's a whole thread below dedicated to altering Protosound files. It requires some minor programming skills and patience, but it's pretty cool when you realize what can be done. I've already broken up the Disneyland RR announcements into individual MP3 files, but I still have some work to do before my coding skills/patience are up to the task of getting them into the sound file..
