From the Critterslist on Yahoo:

Fellow Critologists:

In communicating with the Belton, Grandview and Kansas City RR Co I learned
that they have a Plymouth switcher that is excess to their needs. It has
been sitting for at least 10 years and an attempt by two member/volunteers
to get it started several years ago failed.

When I inquired if they would be receptive to some members working on a
cosmetic restoration, they replied: "Would you be willing to communicate to
the "Critter's List" about this and see if someone would be willing to lead
a restoration plan for the unit? We would need serious interest quickly or
the unit will be sold to someone, somehow. We are needing to focus on our
operating equipment with our limited volunteer base."

The Belton, Grandview and Kansas City RR Co is at 502 Walnut in Belton, MO
64012-1958. Tel: 816-331-0630,

Can anyone identify this model, vintage and history?

Is anyone interested?

More info, from someone who has worked on it:

I have the data on the 35 ton Plymouth somewhere around the house.
It has been repowered with a 692 series GMC diesel that needs a
major rebuild. The automatic air came from their Okmulgee Northern
#5 steam engine and I believe it was a 6H? and the clutch and the
gear shift were air operated. I believe that I was the last one to
operate the old Plymouth about 20 years ago and she started to come
apart as we were switching a cut of cars. If I remember right the
primary problem had to do with timing gears, but the cylinders
liners were shot, the intake ports were badly carboned up, and there
was oil standing in the bottom of the air box. She went through a
lot of engine oil when operating and the governor oil also needed to
be watched.
