Rick, the first photo is of a Plymouth narrow gauge loco, probably powered by a gasoline six or four cylinder flathead loco. The name is on the side of the cab near the bottom. The second is a saddle tank loco, similar to the one that runs in Ashland PA at the lokie at Pioneer tunnel. Probably built in Wilkes Barre, PA. The third is a generic 2-8-0 from the turn of the 20th century.
Thanks that helps a llot probably be very hard to find something like the Plymouth
Bachmann makes an On30 Davenport that is pretty close to the engine shown. I believe they also make coal buggies to go with it.

FFantastic this is a lead and zinc mine, but the cans will look close enough to these buggies. Thanks
Rick, Check out the Bachmann website. They have a few different styles of cars. The one shown here was closest to ones in your picture.
Pete
Already been on it. That's great fix for my layout
K-line made a nice Plymouth with mine cars set a few years back as well.
For the 2-8-0, you could use a Lionel 2-8-0 that has TMCC and Railsounds that was cataloged in 2007/2008 (if you can find one).
there were a few different road names in the area at this time. I have found a frisco steamer that will fit the bill. If anyone has a k line Plymouth for sale let me know. Otherwise the Bachman on30 davenport should work. the ore cars they have for it look exactly like ones that were used in the area.
Keep the good info coming guys.
Thanks
