Book 4 (and where it all started) of Nowhere Land has our team running the Pulgaon-Arvi branchline of Indian Railways with three of that railway's oddball "ZP" Class 4-6-2s, built in 1954 in Japan.
Here ZP 3 and another member rest at Pulgaon's basic shed sometime in the late 70s.

Book 2 of Nowhere Land sees the team in Bolivia running the small Ferrocarriles Guaqui-La Paz, which ran from Lake Titicaca to La Paz.
Part of their fleet is two british built 2-8-0s, 10 is seen resting at the Guaqui Docks. It was built by Hunslet in 1955. Sister 9 was built in 1948.
