From Railway Magazine for 1928. With the current interest in the Ixion O gauge model of Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0STs I wondered if this was a near relation. The cab extends forward over the safety valve area, but apart from that and the reference to it being narrow gauge it seems very similar. Narrow gauge could be either 2'6" or metre gauge as there were these and standard gauges, according to the RM article. Metre looks more likely from the size of the loco.
