The locomotive is of Swiss manufacture by the look of it. I did think it was from the Snowdon Mountain Railway but it is not. It can't be because the locomotive is facing the wrong way compared to the coach for that line as that line has to have the loco push the coach up the hill where the loco has to point forward, unless, the picture shows the loco without a coach and the coach behind just happens to be in the picture at the time... However, the percieved slant (Or lack of slant) of the loco is in the wrong direction for use on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. It has my mind clicking into action to make sense of it.
[Edit]. Yes. This loco in the picture is designed to push a coach cab first which is unusual, as normally they are designed to push chimney first. It is a rack railway locomotive, or a loco which came from the same design that rack railways use. I can't see the track to see if the rack is of the Abt design, or if it is of another design.


It's No. 3 'Wyddfa' , I realise now that the carriage is the mountain goat

Ah... Just further edited to say it must be a Snowdon loco... Still Swiss made around the 1890's. 1893 rings a bell. 1903 at the latest. :) I have seen though, that a company still makes little locomotives like this with modern ceramic boilers with the option of having electric water heater in the boiler and even in the water tanks so it does not take long to raise steam.

You should watch a show called Petticoat Junction. There’s a famous locomotive known as the Cannonball on that show.
