.......and then someone throws some information, into the game.....
If the number is correct, the loco is an H-5, 2-6-6-2, from Baldwin, in 1919 ( #1520-1539 ).
I have pictures of H-4, and H-6, but no H-5's.
In the case of the H-6 1924 Alco ( #1475-1519 ) the bell would have been on top of the boiler, behind the front sand dome, the pump air intakes would have risen vertically, with the filters about one filter diameter apart, and there would have been no step above the pilot mounted headlight, ( at least it's that way on # 1515. ). The number boards would have almost touched at the boiler centerline.
The handrail in your picture would be correct for an H-6 ( #1515 )
Hope that information is useful.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
