Steam comes in all sizes

verrry interesting.

That thing makes you smile just to look at it.  Man, that looks smaller than the amusement park trains at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA.

The gauge is 750mm = 29.5 inches, but I think they have some mini-mallet and 10-coupled locos on that line. Impressive!

Reminds me of the little guys I saw in Ushuaia, Argentina.  For the tourists, it is called "The End of the World Train", because it is reportedly the southern most railway in the world.  The steam engines and the little diesel are kept in immaculate condition, as are the coaches.

The Argentinian train is on my "to do" list, as is one in northern Chile.  There is a very small German engine that runs around the Omaha Zoo that's pretty cool.  It runs on propane, I think.

The Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway museum in Alna, Maine has them looking like broad gauge! This common carrier to the north is 2 feet between the rails and is not a amusement park train, see them @ wwfry.org
