Looking for Info for 2ft gauge Porters from 1945

Hey there Gang,

We here in Brazil on the 2 ft gauge Perus PiraPora are getting ready for the the big move, we have to move 61 vehicles including 17 steam engines. We are in the process of disconnecting radius rods and the big ends of the connecting rods in the hope that we can get them to roll onto ramps and on trucks.

But we have no builders photos, drawings or anything else about our twin 2-6-2 Porters built as 7913 & 7914 in 1945. I have been searching the web and the only find scanned Porter catalogs from 1920.

We would really like to have more information on these machines especially how much they weigh. Our smokebox diameter is 43".

The closest source I find to compare is this 2ft. 0-8-0 Baldwin on ebay at 33,300lbs. "Baldwin train for Milling Co. Philippines antique photo"

Anybody got a good guess about there weight? Are there any sources builders photos or drawings from H & K Porter as late as 1945?

Thanks
Thor
