Does anyone know what the prototype was, assuming it had one? The model is an old Model Power HO scale engine.

The picture didn’t open for me.
No picture here either.

I think it’s one of these:

It looks european style
Thanks, Rotor. What did I do wrong?
Not sure Harry. I copied the properties from the “red X” you posted, and it took me to your flikr pic. I did enlarge it, then copied the properties of the enlargement back into your quote.

I think so too. My first guess was German, but I could be wrong.
I was heading more towards the British look than German, judging by the collars below the front, bnut I don’t know the German switchers.
Nothing like that ever graced British rails-we had few 0-4-0’s and even fewer with air compressor’s (I think that’s what they are-side of the smoke-box).
I would go with continental Europe.

Looks like one of them thar Onion Specific Little Boys to me!
Folks:
I’ve seen this model before at train shows. It has been imported by a number of different companies.
It looks like a Krauss 0-4-0T from around 1900 or so. There were different kinds. This one looks a little like a DR class 99:

but there are a lot of detail differences. As I said, there were various Krauss 0-4-0’s, and I really can’t say whether the variations here are haphazard modeling or based on another loco. Definitely looks German or Austrian, though.
If I could read German I could probably dig up more, but I can’t. I know “dampflokomotiv” and can puzzle technical data out but that’s it. 
(Dig the wacky outside-hung Stephensons valve gear on der klasse 99. You craazy Germans!)
Danke Autobus. Das ist sehr gut. [:)]

Bitte schön.
Gesundheit.
Barrowing thread: Is this the Same Krausse who would turn out this SP B.U.F.F?

Good question. I think it’s likely, but I don’t know.
