Nice looking locomotive, and nice picture as well. Was this loco built by Baldwin in the USA?
thanks

What a great looking loco! And a familiar looking one at that - according to "Wiki": The design was based on the Green Bay & Western Railroad's successfully customized Mikados, based somewhat on the USRA Light Mikado, suitably modified to meet the SNCF loading gauge. Modifications included the overall height, the fitting of European couplers and buffers, left-hand drive, smoke deflectors (to a unique and instantly recognisable style) and a Kylchap exhaust on the second batch. 141.R.1201 – 141.R.1300 were manufactured by Montreal Locomotive Works
