From the Broadbelt Collection. I think there is an 0-4-2T like this in Cuba that was still running in recent years. Could this be it?http://www.leclairerail.com/Baldwin/0483-042T.jpg

I don't think so, Bob; there is a picture of Baldwin 0-4-2T #1112 on the webpage at: http://members.aol.com/SteamCubaLoco/sub1.htmColin Garrett also included it in several of his books.It looks like it is on display in the picture. If you trust the sign on it, it says that it is Baldwin, it also looks like 187? on the sign.If the sign is correct; there are about 24 Baldwin 0-4-2Ts in existance. It does like a tropical location; could it be one of the Hawaiian plantation locomotives (such as "Claus Spreckels" at Maui sugar mill warehouse, one of the three in private hands in Los Angeles, or Hawaii Sugar Co. or "Waiahole" behind Maunalei Sugar Co. mill at Keomuku) prior to their preservation?Neither myself nor Doug's www.steamlocomotive.info website has pictures of these, so they are still on the table. Otherwise, perhaps it is somewhere in South America, or it was on display and has since been scrapped.-James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project

James et al;This 0-4-2T picture can also be found in a 1924 or so Baldwin Locomotives Magazine in a short article entitled "Veterans in Cuba" or something like that. The location is Cuba and the man standing in front of it was a Baldwin rep. who I was told by another elderly Baldwin rep in 1968 later died of a fever in Central or South America.
