This locomotive was scrapped many years ago - see earlier note. C50-123 can be seen on this site, with a photo. The previous note seems to have confused it with this long lost engine. I hope this clarifies the situation.

The locomotive that is preserved in the park is not a C51 but is in actuality a C50, C50 123 to be exact. This locomotive is a 2-6-0 that was built by Hitachi (Works No. 400 of May 1930) and retired in 1970. It has been on display in the park since 1971, and is currently displayed under a roof. Overall condition is good

Inaccurate information. C51123 was scrapped in 1961, the locomotive you refer to here is C50123, a 2-6-0.
