I recognise the builder as Tateyama Heavy Industries, but I don't recognise the name of the railway they built it for. Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

Mark, could you spell it out in Romaji?

 

Maybe it was built for one of the railways in north China or Korea?

Mark,

 

I think it's Otani Steel, or at least a predecessor to it.  It says 大谷製鋼所 Otani Seikousho.  I searched on that and came up with https://www.e-osc.co.jp/en/corporate/gaiyou/index.html

Apparently it's a C1 40 type (40 ton) made for Ōeyama Nickle that operated over the Kaya Railway.

All the best,

 

Mark.
