It's their T3 https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/events/view/563-returns-to-steam (https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/events/view/563-returns-to-steam), a gorgeous Adams-designed Victorian era loco.  I tend to think all steam locos look the same, but there's something rather special about this one; well worth going to see if you get the chance.
