According to a researcher, 'the locomotive depicted is a narrow gauge, 3ft.6in. gauge, known as a Colonial Mogul because of its 2-6-0 wheel arrangement. It was a loose copy of an English built locomotive by Beyer-Peacock of Gorton, Manchester, which in Tasmania were called 'C' class. In South Australia they were known as 'Y' class. They or similar locomotives were also used on narrow gauge lines in other Australian states.
