Crikey! Total guess - Rapperswil-Jona.

(I can find nothing on Google or Images to help me)
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it is the Ortsbahn (village train) Männedorf that operated at the lakeside from one end of Männedorf to the other, with a little curve incorporating the railway station. The yellow train was too expensive to operate, so that this experiment ended probably within a year.

I just found a book where the author claims that this train was coachbuilt by Beutler!
