Honourable Gentlemen,
Let me thank all the readers here and at the RYPN for the tips and really helpful backchannel emails.

I want to share some photos of my discoveries of the steam treasures and preservation movement in Brazil. I haven't seen it all, but I have a good start. The next step is to try and help the ABPF out a little to join the international preservation community. Maybe we can recruit some college kids to program them new websites in english...ABPF Website
Apropo websites, I don't have one and would really like to get one up fast to share detail pictures that I have taken epecially of Baldwn Mallets... So if any one has a fast track or idoits way to jump start a website by copying and replacing text and pictures??? With permission of course.
So here is one of my faborite engines in Campinas a Baldwin meter gauge 3 cylinder pacific, look at that monkey work.
ABPF Campinas
The ABPF Campinas runs between Campinas ( 22°51'31.62"S; 47° 1'47.75"W ) and Jaguariuna (22°42'27.86"S ; 46°59'18.69"W) follow the tracks for pictures and zoom in to find the steam train captured by satellite in the middle of the trip.
