Old Vegas 3' Gauge

Cross posting here a little....
Friend of mine out here in NJ recently picked up a Plymouth locomotive that at one time was at the Old Vegas amusement park. If you recall, Dan Markoff’s Eureka 4-4-0 resided at Old Vegas for a period of time as well.
Anyone out there have any information on how the Plymouth ended up at Old Vegas? Where it came from originally? Jerry Jerrems bought it from the defunct Old Vegas, but was sold off some time after his death in 2006.
We would like to track down its original Plymouth number, but really need a place to start when it comes to the Plymouth listing of locomotive numbers.
Have attached a couple of photos highlighting the rather unique cab design which we understand may have been done at Old Vegas.
Appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions, hunches.
