Crown Metal Products Locomotive Roster

The creation of this roster (and indeed the entire site) would not have been possible without Dennis Larrick's excellent article, A Short History of the 36" Gauge Crown Metal Products Locomotives. If you know of an engine that is not listed, especially in the smaller gauges, please send an e-mail to share your information. If you have more info about any of the existing entries, please send that as well.

The roster is devided into two parts:

30" Gauge Diesel-Hydraulic Steam Outline Locomotives

Engine #	CN #	Date Built	Built for	Coaches	Current location	Notes
1	?	~1980	Canada's Wonderland Toronto, Ontario	8 thirty passenger coaches	Dorney Park Allentown, PA	#593 on cab
?	?	~1980	Canada's Wonderland Toronto, Ontario	8 thirty passenger coaches	Valleyfair Shakopee, MN	Possibly 2 different engines, Extra coaches sold to Omaha Zoo
Canada's Wonderland originally ordered two trains with eight cars a piece. The railroad was never installed and at some point the trains were sold to Valleyfair. Since both Valleyfair and Dorney Park are owned by the Cederfair Corporation, it would be logical to assume that the Dorney engine is one of these two and that Valleyfair has the other. Supposedly, six of the coaches are now owned by the Omaha Zoo, so the Valleyfair and Dorney trains most likely have five cars each. Another possibility is that there are two trains at Valleyfair and the Dorney train was built new around 1990.
