Steam Locomotive Information

Here is the photo album for Seibu Railway No. 7, a 2-6-0T located in Tokyo, Tokyo. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

Right hand cylinder in 2018. No doubts about where this one was built!

Right hand crosshead and hefty slide bars. Notice the valve rod from the inside valve motion. No shortage of silver paint here.

In the cab. Right hand drive with lever reverser. Quite a lot of the boiler fittings survive although the water gauge glasses have gone and there's no instruments. How different it would have looked in service with brass and copper all shone up and a glint of polished steel here and there. (Sigh)

View forward from the fireman's side of the cab. Note the black painted safety valves which would have been brass, and the gold painted steam dome (probably black in service). Also notice the metal strap across the boiler to tie the side tanks together.
