I believe 30585 is the prototype for the still-available 3.5 inch gauge live steam model "Petrolea", by LBSC. Available from Reeves.

30585 was completed in October. I was asked to drive it at its launch event but was unable for two reasons 1 - because a project I was working on (and which has meant working at the other end of the country) had just gone live and 2 - my mother was recovering from a stroke. I'm gutted but I know I made the correct decision in the circumstances - I'll get another chance to drive it next year...........
