Wondered about Cambrian 0-6-0s, but suspect this is a GWR Dean Goods.

Dean Goods. The obvious difference with the CR locos is the cabs and splashers.

I thought at first it was a 2-4-0, as the coupling rod appears to stop at the front visible wheel, but the rod is divided into two, so it could be an 0-6-0.  Also, the visible part of the loco is identical to a Dean Goods.  The tender is GWR and not Cambrian.  As to which one.......

"The line opened for operations from 10 April 1863. It was worked by typical CR motive power of 0-6-0 and GWR 2301 Class "Dean Goods" up till the mid-1950s after which Ivatt Class 2 locomotives of the 46503–46527 series were almost exclusively used. Operations on the line were controlled by signal boxes at: Llanymynech; Llansantffraid; and Llanfyllin."

Definitely the Dean Goods - not the CR Jones though very similar. 
Difficult to be absolutely certain by the tender, they could get borrowed occasionally.
Easiest check is the cab sides - which were more or less flush with running plate on the Jones offering, but inset with almost a walkway round it on the Deans. 
First photo particular is very clear on this

Thanks. Would this loco have been Unlined GWR Green? There doesn't appear to be a logo on the tender

Ive been researching and modelling this branch for over 10 years originally in P4 (I gave up as I didn't have the skills to ensure precise running) Now in OO.

As well as Cambrian 0-6-0, I have photo of Cambrian 0-4-4. When GWR took over 517 were the usual loco, with Dean Goods and Tanat Valley2-4-0. Collett 58xx took over as the main workhorse then into BR with Ivatt Class 2 and 74xx.

This is the first photo I've seen of Dean Good in Llanfyllin, others are photos from Oswestry

Unlined green would have been the official livery. I have seen some evidence of being turned out in black during and possibly after WW2 - and scruffy engines that had last all visible trace of colour wasn't confined to the 1960s...
