context_page_description: Crown Metal Products was a manufacturer of steam locomotives based in Wyano, Pennsylvania founded by Ken Williams in 1946. The company initially sold pot cleaners and then electric fence wires and other products. In 1959, the company began to transition into producing low gauge locomotives, a personal interest of Williams. The company went on to produce steam locomotives and carriages of various sizes for amusement park railroads. The firm ceased production in 1989, however, many of the engines produced continue to operate at amusement parks across the country.
