Good Luck, Ed
OK, I relented and logged back in to my 2008 Flickr account that I haven't used in years. I am going to test linking a photo here, of a Samhongsa brass Baldwin C&O B3 I just picked up on Ebay last month (10/2019) for what I consider to be a great deal: $204.00 It was originally up for sale for $240.00 "Buy It Now" from Trainz, they wanted $35.00 to ship it. I sent them an offer to pay full price, but asked that they cut the expensive S&H down to 1/2, $18.50. The offer was declined. After a week or 10 days, they relisted the item for $204.00, with the same $35.00 shipping. I figured WTH and bough it. The Road is all wrong, MPL, but it is definitely a C&O B-3, it matches prototype photos i found on the web and saved, so one day I'll ditch the road name and splash C&O proudly upon her!
Now, lessee if I can link the pic successfully here...
Hmm...let's try this:
For fear of retribution I will not mention other sites that are easy to use photo wise.But after considerable looking around I have found this photo hosting site that seems to be the most easy to use

Necro thread, the OP hasn't posted in 2 years and the thread itself is 14 years old.
Once you understand the rules and are willing to follow them, you can post a pic here in less than 2 minutes, maybe less than one. This forum is never going use state of art technology. If you can log in and see posts, it's a good day.

I upload thousands of photos to Flickr anyway. Very easy to link them here. At other forums I have to go through the upload process again, resize them to fit their format then try to remember where they are on their server. Much easier to link to a third-party hosting site.
I like the M-R system.
Cheers, Ed
Why do they not let anyone upload photos to this forum??? Jeez.
That said -
In my research to model the Pere Marquette ordered/delivered early Alco 2-10-2's, which were based on a 2-10-0 frame with a trailing wheelset stuck under the firebox so you back the thing up w/o derailing it, and/or the later Lehigh Valley- acquired Baldwin B-1's, I have found that he top of this Mantua 2-10-2 closely resembles the C&O 2-10-2 Baldwin B-2's acquired from HV/LV. (C&O never bought a new 2-10-2.)

QUOTE: Originally posted by riverhill Concerning the Mantua boilers; while the "heavy" boiler is difficult to apply, since it has a large diameter w/o commensurate length, both "light" and"heavy" boilers might used for Norfolk Southern's "baby" Berkshires, also, Nickle Plate Road's "baby" Hudsons.
