Carolyn,
The locomotive pictured on your link http://fauxtoys.com/mysterian.gif
appears to be one of the two 4 ft gauge locomotives supplied to the
Padarn Railway, Llanberis, North Wales in 1848 by A. Horlock & Co of
Northfleet Ironworks, Kent, UK. The Padarn Railway ran from the
Dinorwic Quarry near Llanberis to Porth Dinorwic on the Menai Straits
near Caernarfon. The locomotives were named 'Fire Queen' (which still
exits at Penrhyn Castle museum, Bangor North Wales) and 'Jenny Lind'
(which is possibly the locomotive in your picture.)
A photo of 'Fire Queen' is here (not mine I hasten to add)

Hope this is of some help
