Both of our Plymouths still have their Climax engines and four-speeds, a six cylinder for the 20 ton, and a four cylinder for the 10 ton.
This one has extended wheel seats on the axles for easier regauging. She is the only locomotive built new for the Strasburg Rail Road, having done away with steam here (temporarily) in 1926.
The one was purchased for $50 in running condition in 1983
