[REQUEST] Photos of the 0-4-2 of the Kizo Forest Railway

[gibet_b]

Hello everybody,

 

Does anyone have the possibility to go (or already have the pictures) to the Kizo Forest Railway and take a lot of photos of the 0-4-2 Baldwin locomotive ? My colleague François Fontana, editor in chief of Voie Libre (specialized in narrow guage and available in english by the way), search for enough photos to make a blueprint for our readers. 

 

Thanks a lot !

Do you mean the one that this is a model of?

I don’t have any photos but I would love to see them.

If I'm right, he showed me this photo, so pretty close :

Tried this to snag photos:
Ugly link incoming, but all I did was go on wikipedia, go onto the japanese page, copy the kanji onto google, and then add 0-4-2

Not my area unfortunately.

 

Do you know if it's anywhere else around tokyo?

 

in some parcs they have old model exposed (usually Steam engines)

 

For instance they have this near my place

I forgot to try with the kanji. I will search this way.

I will ask François, but I'm in doubt. As far as I know, 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) gauge is pretty rare in Japan... I think this locomotive is more or less unique, and he prepares an article on this railway ? He didn't said a lot 😄
