To add clarity here, the Yubari Railway Class 11, of which 14 is a member, were a class of 3 2-8-0 consolidations ordered new from Hitachi in 1926, with 1 more ordered in 1927 (this 1927 order being No14 pictured here). You can essentially consider this locomotive to be a JNR Class 9600 2-8-0 chassis with the JNR Class 8620 2-6-0 boiler.

Judging by the photo it certainly looks like a 2-8-0. So I did a search for it on the internet. All I came up with was a scale model kit for this locomotive. The makers of the kit have it as a 2-8-0 as well, so I will not be amending our records.

Please change the wheel arrangement to 2-6-0.
