Wikipedia includes this in a page on the Kerang & Koondrook Tramway. "In 1929, a four-wheel vertical boilered locomotive was imported to work the tramway, manufactured by the Sentinel Waggon Works in Shrewsbury. It was withdrawn in 1941 and scrapped in 1952."

Presumably this is, as I suspected, an attempt to represent a locomotive that once ran there. I have to admit that, from a suitable distance, it does look like a Sentinel. But a Sentinel it is not.

i personally dont count this as a locomotive due to it being a static replica that has never operated

By the look of it and the date it was made, my guess is that it is a static replica of a Sentinel vertical boilered locomotive. Notice that the frame and running gear seem to be from a four wheel wagon. A Sentinel running gear is different and the drive chains would be visible if it was a real operable locomotive
