Domino sugar loco

Don't recognize the type loco, at first it looks like something from the Thomas the Engine factory.

The facebook video says it has "old controls" so I guess it isn't really a cartoon loco.

Sorry for you non-facebookians, this is the only video link I could find.

 It's certainly a similar model Plymouth. Probably modernized and upgraded over the years. The Walthers model would be a perfect starting point. I have the same one - the blue undec, because one of the local cement plants used that same blue (as the Walthers model, the Domino Sugar blue is much darker) for their plant locos. Why a blue like that when the thing would get covered in cement dust I don't know, but all I need to do is find or make a decal logo to stick on it .

Years ago I helped a friend get his Davenport switcher running.

At one time there were several manufacturers of industrial switchers, Davenport, Porter, Whitcomb and, of course, Plymouth. GE and Ford were in the game for a while, too.

Nice story about Plymouth here:
