From my hazy recollection of a friend who rode them, I'd guess this was a motorbike, and that the letters visible here refer to "double overhead cam" or something similar. And I don't know what that means, either.

Dohc or double overhead control or cam means 2 camshafts for each row of cylinders. This allows 4 vents for the cylinder (2 for intake 2 for exaust)
I would say a honda gold or sioverwing

Nope, has more wheels than the average motorcycle. Forty-six more in total.

Twelve in total.

I knew it. That's me, then: I know squat about locos or trains...

Alright then. Is it French?

It's not, although the company which manufactured it also built stuff for Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Africa, Malawi, Nigeria, Jamaica, Pakistan and Mexico.
They also built tanks in WWI.

Nope, it's from a British company, which was (naturally) taken over by a French company in 1989.
