The locomotive depicted will be a Malayan Railway Class 20; a fleet of 26 diesel-electrics introduced by Malayan Railways (now KTMB) in 1957 to mark the country's independence. Manufactured by English Electric (built at the Vulcan Foundry), these 1,500 hp engines were the first mainline diesels on the Malaysian meter-gauge network. They have an obvious resemblance to NZR's Ef class from 1954.
