    Anyone have any 2-4-0 pictures?

    My dad has an old picture of him and his uncle in the cab of one of these.

    Too close a picture to see details of the engine, or the number.

    But he is sure it was a 2-4-0.

    Just want to find a picture of a Frisco engine in this configuration to add to the pictures I am using to make a collage for Dad.

    Any help appreciated.

    Frisco never owned anything with that wheel arrangement.

    They had 2-6-0s but not 2-4-0s

    Don,

    How about 4-4-0s.

    Guys,

    Thanks for the information.

    That probably explains why I cannot find any pictures!

    I am sure it was my mistake when writing down things as I spoke to Dad.

    He knows those trains.

    I will seek pictures of the 2-6-0s.

    4-4-0s were numerous back then as were 2-8-0s.

    However, no 2-4-0s.
