Ingenio Pantaleon 0-4-2ST No. 001Posted by: D08 on Jul 29, 2026 @ 18:07:07
In fact, it is a duplicate.

Ingenio Pantaleon 0-4-2ST No. 001Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Jul 29, 2026 @ 17:07:13
Then again, looking at the two photographs, assuming they are taken of the locos at the two places, they are two completely different designs. The one at Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa has the valve chest atop of the cylinders in a typical Baldwin way and valve gear between the frames. The other, at Escuintla has the valve chest sloping outward on top of the cylinders - a more European design. The cabs are completely different and the Escuintla loco does not have a saddle tank - in fact with outside Walschaerts valve gear and a boxy looking frame, I think it is a well tank loco, maybe Orenstein & Koppel? So, the question is not "Why are they duplicated?" but "Are they duplicated?"

Ingenio Pantaleon 0-4-2ST No. 001Posted by: D08 on Jul 29, 2026 @ 16:07:10
yeah, this is a duplication of the "Ingenio el Baul 0-4-2ST (Unknown Number)" and it is in the list...

Ingenio Pantaleon 0-4-2ST No. 001Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Jul 29, 2026 @ 16:07:12
Beats me why it is duplicated, but, as I am no expert on Guatemala and its locomotives, I suspect that the fact that the details in the two entries are so sparse (no works number or build date, and only one entry with a number for the loco) it is more than possible that they were taken to be two different locos. If you know any of the missing detils, I will gladly correct them. Meanwhile, I will deal with the duplication issue tonight.

Ingenio Pantaleon 0-4-2ST No. 001Posted by: D08 on Jul 29, 2026 @ 15:07:33
erm... why this engine is duplicated????
