Suggestion:

    Google " Plymouth Industrial RR Locomotives"  It will pull up several sites regarding Plymouth Loco's.

NE Rails sites have several pages with various industrial loco's pictures ( some other photos of the Palmetto Brick Co's power and equipment.

Also you might find other information on Plymouth Locos at this linked website : http://www.williamsdistribution.com/distribution_index.cfm

The WW Williams co is apparently a resource now (since production has ceased) for all things Plymouth.

Good Luck with your quest!

While looking for something else,I found this video clip:

This one on Plymouth Engines might be of interest as well:

I was really surprised , when I got to looking around, how many videos showed up of Plymouth Locomotive products; and some of the other'dinkeys' as well.

Also found within the Videos of the WK&S RR ( in Penna.) of their little Mack engine as well.

Mack locomotives are another topic that interest's me-I'd love to see some videos of them, not just the usual black and white pictures.

A little bit of measurement with a set of dividers, ruler, and calculator.

 Gauge of these locos are 36"  From this you can estimate the "bumper" height, and then from a side view the same height can be used to work the rest of the dimensions.

 

I have heard, but not been able to confirm that Palmetto Brick has parked the trains, and that they will not run again.
