I remember the 2-6-0. It was out by the front entrance. It was also the one I thought might have been a Porter. I don't remember the 2-4-2 though, but it may have come after my time (1962). I also seem to remember that the Crowns were fairly large for amusement park engines, not much smaller than the EUREKA as I recall. I also remember that they were originally coal fired, and then converted to use bottled gas. Ostensibly because coal was hard to come by in Florida.
