This came through on my flickr feed. I've not seen any photos of stuffed and mounted steam in the Dominican Republic before.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

There are eleven stuffed and mounted engines across the Dominican Republic; that particular one is meter gauge 2-8-0 #7, Baldwin 55126/1921.

I agree, it does resemble the Mexican 2-8-2s mentioned in a previous thread, and was built by Baldwin in 1921 as well. One of the Mexican engines is 55110/1921, so it and others were probably on the erecting floor at the same time. Another source of measurements....
