Some remarkable images at railpictures.net of the 2'-6" gauge Ferrocarriles Argentinos...

And it's a Baldwin...

Thanks Steve,

I love those little Baldwins!

Maybe one of these days we can get James to do one of his famous "Patten Travel" visits to "La Trochita" and to the VFCO/EFOM line in Brazil.


Best Regards,
Glenn

Is that a vacuum brake hose assembly on the pilot beam?
Very interesting.
