Its almost as if they are from one of these Quarter size railroad ride attractions. The hoppers look more like container buckets and must only use a small amount with the size of a shovel that would fit in that opening. Thank you Tramp for the info.

I just figured he was a non fueled engine because he had no coal bunker/tender, and he uses a steam accumulator that gets periodically refilled. Or perhaps no steam at all and ran on compressed air. Since he is a shunting/switching engine, he really wouldn't go very far to need a coal/firebox setup. Learn something new everyday!

But here is a picture of a non fueled engine in the us:
