So...there has been an unanticipated side effect to the layout. Much to my enjoyment (and wife's dismay), people have started to bring in or talk about bringing in, old train-related stuff they no longer use or need. My first gift arrived earlier this week - a photo print of a B&O 2-8-0 Consolidation.
The client said it was taken in the 1920s, but not much else known, & nothing written on the back. A quick search on rrpicturearchives.net seems to suggest it would be an E16 class, though there are only 2 photos of such an engine in the collection that I found, and they're both from the other side. Still, a lot of the subtle details seem to match, & the time period of those photos is consistent w/this one.
