These locomotives were unidentified in the Bud Laws collection on the ABPR. Perhaps someone can identify them:

I have no idea which RR the 2-8-0 in photo 1 belonged to, but the 4-4-0 in 2 appears possibly to be the one the Ferdinand RR had in Indiana. The 4-4-0 in 3 possibly the Manchester & Oneida in Iowa? The 2-6-0 in 4 appears to be a BLW stock model like some sent to Cuba, but no idea what RR it is working on. The Shay in 5 has a recognizable logo on the tender, but I can't remember what logging company it is from. No idea on the Shay in 6, but the 0-4-0 in photo 7 appears to be the ex-Indiana Northern engine working at the gravel pit at Pacific, Missouri, now dismantled in Iowa. Any guesses on the rest?

Of these, I only recognize photo 4, as the ex-F&CC/Uintah/Eureka-Nevada 2-8-0 now at Boulder City, Nevada. Photo 3 looks like it could be the West River RR in Vermont, which used a Cuban 2-8-0 like that, though I remember it as being No. 1 there. Photo 5 looks related to the second 4-4-0 in the group above, with its Belpaire boiler and unusual counterweights. Any guesses?

Frankfort & Cincinnati #12, Alco/Cooke 4/1929, b/n 65197. F&C also picked up the former West River engine (F&C #14, b/n 65198) and another direct from the builder (F&C #11, b/n 65199).

I emailed Bud Laws with this ID some time ago.
