Whyte Class 2-4-0?

I suspect Andy doesn't think it is a 2-4-0 -- that there may be an axle or axles missing in the middle. I think he's probably right, so I would be inclined to remove the cat as well, but what do others think?      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:10, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Hm, I'm wondering about this locomotive. Googling for locomotive + Omoa, I didn't find much. Perhaps most interesting is US Dep't of Commerce Consular Reports for Jan - March 1914, which notes "The Honduras National Railway has received another locomotive from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. This is the tenth locomotive now in the service of the company. The Cuyamel Fruit Co. has received a new locomotive from the United States for its plantation lines and the extension that is being built from Vera Cruz to the port of Omoa. This is its fourth locomotive." Apparently the locomotive in my photo has been moved from the street off the beach where I saw it to a shelter by the Fortress of San Fernando museum and cleaned up a bit. The only photos of it I found are these on Flickr: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] which show some interesting details but I don't think resolve the wheel arrangement.

Doesn't this show another driver axle box and partial spring rigging to the left of the driver that's there? That would make it at least a 2-6-0.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 22:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
