Isn't it cute? The former South Australian Railways' Steam Motor Coach, a 2-2-0WT from 1905, one of two built. A history of it with pics and videos here.
It is one of the locomotives of the Pichi Richi Railway museum, formed in 1973, which operates heritage steam and diesel trains on the restored 39 km section of 3'6" (1067 mm) gauge track between Quorn and Port Augusta in South Australia. Constructed in 1878 as part of the South Australian Railways Port Augusta and Government Gums Railway, it once formed a part of the former Central Australia Railway and east-west Transcontinental line, and is the oldest remaining section of track of the former narrow gauge Ghan (see earlier posts).
