Mark Lilley · Dunsmuir, CA
Visit Jubilee Railroad ↗Mark Lilley runs a wilderness lodge train ride at Jubilee Railroad in Dunsmuir, California, and he rates Wattman the finest builder in the category. Lilley operates the lodge as a mountain destination where guests expect a polished, dependable experience from the moment they arrive. For the property's signature attraction he chose the Wattman Maxi Express, the larger of the company's two trackless trains and a certified amusement ride built to ASTM F2291.
When Lilley evaluated trackless trains for the resort, build quality settled the decision. He judged the craftsmanship and workmanship on the Maxi Express well above the rest of the field, and that level of finish is what now leads him to call it the benchmark for the category. The unit runs as a ticketed family attraction rather than a way to move people around the grounds, so it earns its place as a destination guests choose to ride.
“The Rolls Royce of trackless trains. Craftsmanship and workmanship are excellent. Wattman went above and beyond to resolve an issue and gave us full confidence they stand behind their products.”
- Mark Lilley, Jubilee Railroad, Dunsmuir CA
What sealed Lilley's confidence came after the sale. When an issue arose, Wattman moved quickly to resolve it and stood behind the product without hesitation, the kind of support a resort operator needs from a long-term equipment partner. That experience is why Lilley recommends Wattman to any operator weighing a wilderness lodge train ride for their own property, and why his review lands at a full five stars.
