Is this a 2-2-2 locomotive? It looks like a near cousin to the "John Bull", a very old British-built locomotive from 1831. It was built for a predecessor to the Pennsylvania Railroad called the Camden and Amboy Railroad. The John Bull is in the Smithsonian, but was last run in 1981 on its 150th birthday.

I know, I'm just stating it is a British-built loco.

true dat. The British started the practice of running locomotives on railroads (Richard Trevithick), although the French claim to be the first with a steam-powered road vehicle (Nicholas Cugnot, I think), back in the 18th century.

Indeed, wasn't very succesful from what I've read, didn't steam well, the weirdest thing was that it was meant to be a steam powered gun carriage.
