Somewhere in the vast amount of 'stuff' I ~~hoard~~ ehrm... collect is a reproduction builder's photo (with specs on the back) of a 42"gauge 2-8-0 from the BLW bound for a Central American country. (Maybe Costa Rica, but definitely not Guatemala, El Salvador, or Belize.) What made me buy it was the locomotive had a feedwater heater... and slide valves. For what it's worth, it had Walschaerts motion.
You can't make this stuff up.
Take care, be safe, and be well,
John
