Great pic.
3124 was an S class tank engine. I dunno if it was one of many cut down to a 30T tender engine or spent its existence as built.
An S class tank would qualify as a steam tram motor as they worked the Camden line in its final years.

Approaching the railway bridge at Hartwell on my way out to Vermont South, I made the mental note to try for a tram + train shot there some time when conditions were more favourable. Then I saw the mural! Fearing its removal or defacement before I would get another opportunity, I resolved to get the shot, 'weather or no', on my return from the terminus. Taking a leaf out of the late lamented Yuri's book, I set my camera on continuous and, 2 Up cars and 1 Down car (and 56 exposures) later, I managed this shot showing a distinctively NSW-style steam loco in the company of B2.2014. Waiting for the next Up car to take me back toward the city, I dropped my guard and missed out on an 'unbombed' shot of that car below a passing train. Moral: no matter how tired, etc., you are, keep your camera at the ready when you're 'at work'.
