What is this loco?

I took a photo of this model which has Q2 stampped on the bottom of it. I have searched the internet for it but can only find a Q6 with the number 63410. The Q6 has outside cylinders where as this model does not. I have been looking for some time now so now I am asking the experts for help.

Hi Syd,
I think it's a Union Mills N-Gauge Q2 and someone has changed the number to that of a Q6.
Here is a website with info on Q2's:-

My thanks to both John and Squeaky88. You both found the same site but under different site addresses. That site did not come up when I did a google search.

hi

hey Syd, you're welcome. go to google images and type in Q2 or Q6 locomotives and you'll get the answer.

just one question: why call yourself a git??????????

An Old Git back home is what we young kids used to call old men when I was a young school boy. Now that I'm well past 60, it is only right that I am now an Old Git as well. What goes around comes around.

Thanks again John. Is that one of your models? It seems to have a out shopped tender coupled to a dirty loco. This is not one of my locos by the way, it is just one I saw in the shop and did not know anything about it. When I looked up the number and got a photo of a Q6 with outside pistons I started to look a bit more but without much luck. That's when I posted a request about it. I would like to get one one day. As you know, I love the old unsung work horses. I have always said that if you are having a problem with anything railway, someone on this site will find an answer for you.
