It's probably correct. The Premier line is supposed to be scale. The Plymouth is a very
small prototype loco.

In the real world, I once saw a coverered hopper being moved by GE 44 tonner loco. It dwarfed the loco and a 44 tonner is a lot bigger than a Plymouth..

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
