It already belonged to John Robinson when it was at Heritage Square, and I'm fairly sure it was 2-foot gauge when he bought it. I remember visiting John at the square while he was getting in ready to run shortly after it arrived. IIRC, there were two or three Plymouths that were part of the deal. I remember something about a gas or diesel-hydraulic from the same purchase, which may have belonged to Ed. John's Plymouth is gas-mechanical.
