As far as I know, there are three tiny standard gauge steam locomotives that I know of that reside over here in Britain. First two are Alfred and Judy. Below is a link to a video of Judy, thanks to merlin67able:

And then there's Peckett No 1900 aka 'The Flying Bufferbeam'. Here is the link to its info page:

So, are there any tiny standard gauge locomotives from where you live in the world? It can be any motive power type.
 
I believe these low clearance locomotives were generally adaptations of standard industrial locos and were built where height clearances were very low.
 
The Port of Par locos (Alfred and Judy) had to fit under a low bridge under the mainline railway on the branch to the docks. They are pretty much identical in height to standard open wagons.

Another location that used short locos was the Beckton gas works, where the locos had to fit in the restricted space of the retort houses.
