Looks interesting.
Edit: Karma99 is the maker and I think he made the 56xx locomotive.
Bit of info for anyone who wants to know what it does.

My only question is what the heck is it?

It looks like a steampunk RDC.

It's this.

Not sure whether your question is answered directly, but this is Pete's blog which you may find of interest.

One of the preserved examples has been allowed out on the UK national rail network a couple of times, albeit confined to the Looe branch in Cornwall (it had to be loco hauled there and back). The Looe branch is quite steeply graded up to 1 in 40 (2.5%) I believe on the climb from Combe Jn back up to Liskeard. So they certainly have enough power to cope with that, though I bet in the summer it gets quite toasty in the passenger saloon when the car is working hard.
Planning to do a bit of research where else they ran with a possible view to a Workshop route later in the year.

My goodness I've never had a locomotive that made me do so much for a 8 minute video. Driving backwards is hard because all you got is a bell to tell your fireman when to start, stop and brakes release. It's a crazy system I leave it at that. In terms of operation hands down its the best one yet. Pete deserves a medal for this.

Very interesting locomotive indeed! after seeing the test power assembly part of this pack it makes me want some early steam from the 1800's
