Ken - Much appreciate you identifying Wyoming Railway No. 103 as ex-Q No.
1162. Isn't this a wonderful Group when it comes to identifying old
photographs!
Thanks for letting me know off-List that the Wyoming Railway had three
ex-Q 2-6-0s, No. 103; ex-1162; No. 104, ex-1151; and No. 105, ex-1175. This is
new to me.
Does anyone have images of No. 104 and No. 105? Since I have the image of
No. 103, I'd like to see what the other two looked like while operating on the
plains of Wyoming. Best Regards - Louis

Louis,
At the meet in Billings in 2013 Bill Tulley gave a clinic on the
Wyoming railroad. He identified 103 as ex-Q 1162 which would be an H-2 built
by Pittsburg in 1898.

Group - Can anyone tell me what Class H locomotive this
is?
The 2-6-0 is numbered 103, it's lettered for the Wyoming Railway, the
location is UCross, WY and the date is August 23, 1947. This
locomotive looks to me to be a Class H-3.
The "hulk" of Class H-2 No. 1175 that was Wyoming Railway No. 105 is
on display in Buffalo, WY. I'm unable to find any information on other Q
locomotives sold to the Wyoming Railway.
The Corbin book roster doesn't show any Class H locomotive sales to
the Wyoming Railway. I'd appreciate knowing what Q 2-6-0 become WRy 103.
Best Regards - Louis
