This engine, named 'Lady Jayne' after the proprietor's wife, is the Hollybeech Railway's only live steam loco. The model itself is a freelance 0-6-0T built to Roundhouse's 'Lady Anne' design (Roundhouse is the engine's manufacturer). The model relies on butane gas to generate the fire.

actually it looks a good bit like the g 3/3's that were the second series of motive power to run on the 30"/760mm gauge waldenburgerbahn. also i'm not sure, i've never been over their, on gb/eu side of the atlantic, but as a wild guess there's probably something that looks a bit like it on the tallylyn. as a guess something like that roundhouse's lady anne was based on.
(i've lived in the states all my life, but those welch two footer former slate quarry railways are among my favorite prototypes as to proportions of stock and so on. in the u.s., there were some 2 footers in maine, and i thing one somewhere in tennisee, but none of them had an engine quite like this one. there were some farley inspired 2-4-4t's, but of completely different kind of design. the larger of the two sizes of railway in my pictures is inspired by these proportions. which, completely as a side note, there is a modern transit system, well its still the same waldenburgerbahn, that urbanization has grown up around, with modern electric rolling stock, though theirs is taller and looks top heavy, still running on the same 760 mm track the g3/3s this model looks a bit like, had in their own time.)
