Title: Baldwin 4-4-0 in Brazil
Post by: J3a-614 on July 16, 2010, 03:45:56 AM
Preserved engine from 1880 in Brazil, originally linked in Railway Preservation News; direct Railpictures link below.  Modernization seems to be limited to a conversion to oil firing and an electric headlight, track gauge is 30 inches:

Attractive little thing.
Gee, does carrying two jacks easily accessible on the pilot beam imply anything?
