Nope, sorry!

Small drivers, guessing an 0-6-0. I know there's a couple of them at Heritage Park in Calgary AB, but not sure if you've been up this way.

Ha ha ha - just kidding. 

Nope, sorry - the locomotive is in the USA.

No sir, it is not.

Clues tomorrow - unless...

Penn Central SD40-2

Early pocket calculator mechanism

CNJ 0-6-0?

OK Mitch, it's now tomorrow.  Clue(s) please.
 

It’s not operational, on display somewhere..

It appears to ‘stuffed & mounted”,
Probably a 2-8-0 or a 2-8-2...

Well preserved... my guess is some western ‘Road...

(The crosshead key looks out of place and not fully ‘seated’..., The crosshead guides are cleaned and painted —-& have not been functional for a long time...all the ‘castle-ated’ nuts are missing cotter keys that secure the fasteners...no
Machinist of the era would make that mistake).

Lol.

"Baltimore & Ohio 476"

a.k.a. Mississippian 76

 

Winner, winner!

Definitely a well preserved, stuffed and mounted 2-8-0.
Does the Jonesboro, Lake City & Eastern Railroad from
northeast Arkansas qualify as a western road?

This 1920 built Baldwin 2-8-0 was manufactured for the
Jonesboro, Lake City & Eastern Railroad, leased to the
Frisco, sold to the Mississippian (as their No. 76), sold
to Sloan Cornell and operated at Gettysburg.  Owosso's
Steam Railroading Institute purchased it from Jerry
Jacobson with plans to restore to operation but found a
4-6-0 former C&NW locomotive better suited.   In 2018,
the locomotive made its way down from Owosso, MI to
Oakland, MD and is now cosmetically restored and sits
on display at the depot which is also known as the
Oakland B&O Railroad Museum.

Here most of her is back in 2009 in a photo by Kevin
Madore in Owosso.  Thought I had my own pic, but I'm
sure Kevin won't mind the share!

And here she is today - along the CSX's former B&O main in Oakland,
MD by the depot /museum.

Somewhat resembling B&O's E-39 2-8-0's of the era, it was given a
"400 series" number keeping the "76" but renumbering the locomotive
as B&O No. 476.  Captured here on September 30th, 2020.
