Here is the photo album for Kaijima Tanko No. 32, a 2-6-2T located in Nogata, Fukuoka. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

The symbol of the owner of the loco and the number in brass plates on the tank side.

The connecting rod takes the drive to the third coupled axle in this design as this photo shows. The return crank and eccentric rod are also in shot.

The loco is displayed with a wagon, but they could not be coupled! The loco has knuckle couplers and no buffers but the wagon has three link chain to couple and buffers.

The loco's front knuckle coupler.

This is what happens to locos displayed in the open.

An interesting version of the Orenstein & Koppel builder's plate with the Japanese agent for the builders also shown. It gives a insight into how orders were won and locomotives supplied to overseas customers.
