LOCOMOTIVES:
Plymouth 50-ton centercab: Went to Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society.

Re the passenger cars: The 7 and the 5688 are owned by the Mad River and NKP group in Bellevue, OH and were on lease to the group in Delaware. I believe the 1182 went to the roadside attraction collection in Dubois, PA.

I know the two cabooses and the boxcar are still around. They moved to a restaurant called Doolittle's in DuBois, PA

Thank you both! I was able to find photos to confirm that the equipment is in Dubois.
This only leaves RPCX #3090 missing.

RPCX 3090 is at Dennison Depot.

RPCX 1100 owned by American Steam Railroad, shortly to be for sale.

NS 3322 - none of your links work. I only get a 'Page not found' error message!

The Flickr link works! Haha
This is what happens when you rely on RR Picture Archives.
I love the site, but it shuts down for about three hours every night and has these sporadic quarterly face-plants as well.

Thanks! Appears #3090 has been in Dennison since 2017, but I did not see it during my visit in September 2017.
I wonder if it was delivered with the ORHS and MRPS Equipment?

Video of the 2017 Polar Express train.
The car can be seen in this video at the 0:41 mark.
