This is fun. I don't know which is worse, a missing link/pic, or one that scolds you for going there. :-D

Seriously, Jason... since you know how to get there, see if you can grab the pic, now that our curiosity is piqued. That .uk site is poorly coded (many errors), poorly formatted and just generally hard to navigate.

Oops, sorry.  Once you do have it open, it works everywhere so I wasn't getting the fobidden.

Just right-click and copy the URL I posted and put it into your browser.

Or, here's the page it's from.

The steam photos are amazing.  Patagonia and the Atacama Desert are high on my railfanning dream trips.

Thanks! The page link worked fine. The photos there are pretty cool, and for all the world could be scenes from the U.S. 60-70 years ago or more. I'm curious when the Baldwin was built, as it has a few design cues that make it more modern than our sense of "Baldwin".

The yellow bridge down the page is a real eyeful. Anybody up for giving it a try?

I tried it.  After several attempts I finally reached the right page.  All of the pictures worked EXCEPT THIS ONE.  Every attempt to open it received the same "not allowed" message.

That was in Firefox.  Using Internet Explorer the picture showed just fine.  I've never had a page where one picture was browser-dependent.  Whole pages, or sites, yes, but not one picture.

that is a nifty little Shark - kind of like a Lemon Shark as opposed to a Bull or Great White.  And the bridge would be an OK build- match sticks are, however, the wrong medium as its a steel bridge.

I'm most interested in the replica Little Joe pulling the service train.

Nice find.

For what it's worth, the page loaded fine tonight, even in Firefox.
