Small loco

Could someone point me to a US/canadian Diesel shunter etc, I need one to haul a few tankers from island to island.
Couldn't spot on in the vast array I have installed, thanks.

My first collection of old ModelRailroader Magazine, had a story about a fictional HOn2 1/2 gauge puzzle type NG route in New England, with a so flimsy pier, that loco's had to use a buffer flat car to shove rail cars, as heavy loco's were phrohibited from operating on the pier. Ever since then I have loved small loco's, as they had the absolute dinkyist small loco resembling the Trainz NG Shunter. Also the famous late John Allen's G&D model railroad had equally dinky loco's, some off which in Trainz have superman powerful enginespecs, and absolutely hauntingly lovely whistles and bell sounds.

Found a couple of more

You could try looking by the nominal weight of the locomotive (i.e. "23ton" or "44ton") if you are looking for a specific size, as most of this sort of equipment was classified by the nominal weight. Yes my metric using friends, it is in US customary measure short tons, i.e. 1 ton is 2,000lbs or about 907kg.

Another way to shake out the DLS is to use the manufacturers name as a keyword. Plymouth, Davenport, and Whitcomb were "big" manufacturers of light industrial engines here in the US. You do need to be careful as these companies also did a brisk trade in export locomotives as well. I did find the following which may meet your requirements which hasn't been mentioned earlier:

<kuid:396831:100570> Whitcomb 50 tonner # 12
<kuid:191567:100962> Whitcomb 50 tonner, blue and red
<kuid:396831:100553> Whitcomb 50 tonner # 11

You may be able to find other manufacturers by using the category list at the bottom of the Wikipedia pages on these companies, as I recall it may be something like "North American Locomotive Builders" as a title on the list.
