*= BB, wasn't this the same company who ordered those two 2-6-0s for a line in Hainan Island which never left the plans? One became a 2-6-4T on the Katakami Railway.

It's the story of one VERY happy little engine.

Yes, those were the Nankai C10001 types.

 

Nice video, lodgershinmeishrine has a lot of good ones on youtube.

It certainly is a nice video. This loco is now preserved at the Nagoya City Science Museum. (I'm glad the old girl survived and went to a good home... )

 

What's interesting about this video is that even late in its working life, the engine is still in very good condition. That's a credit to both the builders, Hanomag, and the mechanical staff at Ishihara Sangyo. I also like the glimpses of the crew preparing the engine for a days work - love the white gloves!

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

very sweet video and nice music to set the feeling well! glad a well worked and loved engine found a nice home at a museum.

 

some fond childhood memories were from an old steam engine that sat in the big kids park in monterey where you could climb all over it and play engineer.
