Can anyone identify the loco on this Zippo?

At first I thought it was the Adler (especially as it is on Ebay.de) but the wheel arrangement is wrong, so it could be anything. Any ideas?

try a Brunel 7fter maybe try Bill Peto collection to research further

Drifting off-topic (sorry!) but do you know the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo?

One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter.....

OK, OK, I know the drill.

Pretty sure it's based on this one (with the rear wheels not shown on the lighter):

I think you've got it, I wondered why there were buffers at the front but not at the rear, I just assumed it had a permanently attached tender which wasn't pictured. Also the lubricator for the drive wheels plus the gear in front of the wheel are bang on. Nick gets the coconut!
