Colombian steam motor locomotive

The principle of the steam motor is to use the developments of the high-speed steam engine, and to apply them to light locomotives. 
Rather than a large conventional locomotive having only two[i] cylinders, rotating at the speed of the driving wheels, the steam motor uses several small cylinders geared to run at high speeds. With all other factors remaining the same, doubling the speed of a piston engine doubles its power. The steam motor allowed small, light engines to be used. As many of the engine's performance losses remain constant, or are also related to the engine size, these small engines could also be more efficient overall. The build date is currently unknown but the started working in 1934. The boiler was a big part of this engine and its popularity,and it could go no less than 550 psi.

The Colombian steam motor locomotive's basis was used for Gator in Thomas & Friends for the feature length special called "Tale of the Brave".
