Yes, someone please provide a link! Judging by the 7.25" note in the lower right corner, this appears to be a French model of 1218 in 1.5"scale. Too cool.

The railway is the Swiss Vapeur Parc Le bouveret. http://www.swissvapeur.ch/

From memory that loco has benn there a few times - I don't think it is based there.

Lots of video on youtube and pics on google images.
