I have been responsible for running, maintaining the engine, cars and track for over twenty years. Along with the help of many other people. It is a 24" gauge since I have been a member of PLHM over 35 years. To the best of my knowledge, Crown did not manufacture an 18" gauge locomotive.

I believe this engine runs on 18" gauge track not 24".

My good friend Art Kent ran & maintained this train while it was at Prairie Run near Petersburg. My Great Uncle had a coal mine just down the road from Prairie Run. This train had a track gage of 18" not 24".
