DVTDweller: Good guess, but no.
Spooner: Close, but no.
alanf: Half right! You've got the location, but not the manufacturer.
Well, now we know the buffer-stops work! (Heard at 2013 "Longest Day" solstice steamup)

I was convinced it was a porter! So it must be an ALCO as I thought the only locos in Serbia with that style cab window were the american built ones.

Right country of origin, but still wrong builder! HK Porter did build locomotives of this UNRRA 0-8-0 design for use on the JДЖ network, but the 900mm gauge locomotives of the same design for industrial use came from another builder...

You guess right. And with both halves of the question answered, your ball, sir!

Three days since the last guess. Time to let alanf have the point and next question? On a purely selfish note, I WANT to know where this is...

Well MDLR was the closest as the site produced items that may have been stored at Fauld.
One more picture clue and if no one identifies the location by Monday I will reveal all!
Both the pictures were taken less than twelve months ago.

Explosives are the connection with Fauld but its not Waltham or Derbyshire when I say closest I meant in what materials were common to both sites.

Marquis DeCarabas is spot on.
We visited last year to see what was still on site before development started. The complete railway was to be sympatheticaly recovered and all the items dontaed but over the Christmas period the scrap metal faries visited site and most disapeared over night. All we got in the end were five waggon turntables (only two complete), 20 lengths of rail and a couple of buffer stops. Sad when you consider the railway was quite a size.
