I think everyone has the same problem the first time they try to post a picture. It looks to me like the URL being specified isn't really the URL of the picture.

Try this:
Call up the page with your picture on it in your regular browser (not the page editor). Right click the picture and specify "show picture"
When the picture is displayed then highlight the URL (This is the "Address" line if you are using Internet Explorer).
Select "edit", "copy"

Then edit your message above and "edit" "paste" replacing into the URL brackets.

Boy, this stuff is hard to say in words.....

The Webshots sight you are using is really trying hard to force you to display all that advertising. Here is the URL but if when I try to go directly to it, I'm getting security denied.

But you got me!
From the picture I can't tell how "round" the top of the hoods are. FM H16-44 baby Trainmasters had real curved roofs. But they also usually had a really big single head lamp. The trucks don't look FM, they look like Baldwin or Alco. Also the large rear vent on the roof looks Alco. Trainmasters generally had vents recessed under a wire grid giving a more smooth roof line. On the other hand most Baldwins and Alco's had more of a height differential between the cab and hood roof. In later units Alco also indented the number boards on the nose.

A modified baby trainmaster on Baldwin trucks?
Is this possibly one of the Alco's build for a foreign country?

Right click on the red X and click on properties and highlight the URL address and copy. Open another browser paste in the address and viola. I think it is a baby trainmaster. I'm not real knowleggable in the older locos. Fairbanks Morse or something like that made them I think.

That is probably an export Alco.....maybe a DL532B????

M636 (Peter) maybe the one to ask.

Thanks for the reply Texas Zepher & juby4life.
Fairbanks morse was my guess also but the thing is I'm still searching for a full listing of their engines.
I'm from Jamaica and my layout will feature our bauxite trains (shown in picture) which are the only trains still running in Jamaica presently.
I've bought the various Fairbanks Morse engines that are being offered by Atlas but after closer inspection I found that they all have some semblance to it but none matches. I'm gonna keep them all but if I'm not successful in locating a model in scale I'll use the H15-44s and the H16-44s and the trainmasters will be in display case.

That looks like something General Electric might of built?

Now that it is known to be Jamaican...it is a Alco or MLW DL532B (RS8)

In the meantime, you can also just right click the picture with your mouse, click "View Picture" and view the pic. (Just learned that little trick a couple of days ago, here on the forum.)
