certainly European due to the bumpers on each end.

This is a typical European "Steeple Cab" loco .
Many were made by different model manufacturers and this looks like one known as an "Eidelweiss" and is is the colours of a rack and pinion ( Cog wheel) railway in the Alps. It is in real size electrically powered so should have a pantograph on the cab roof.
I have a Fleishmann example which is exactly the same in detail.
Here is alink to the Fleishmann version so you can compare.

Thanks for that, mystery solved, it never had a pantograph from what I recall, but at at least I know what to look out for.
