  • Thank you very much for your visit. We call this village "Meiji-Mura", and lies Inuyama-shi in Aichi-ken. You can come very easily from Chubu International Airport. I wish you will come to see Japan some day.

  • @sirrliv Correction. This engine was not built by Stephenson, but by the Sharps-Stuart Company, to a design that had already proven extremely successful on the earlier Shinbashi-Yokohama Line, in 1874. Originally, she was assigned to the then new Kobe-Osaka-Kyoto Line before being sold to the Bisai Railway in 1911. She was given to Meiji Mura in 1965 and returned to steam in 1973. So far as I know, she's the only one of the 3 surviving pioneers to still be in steam.

  • Actually, I've read that this particular engine was manufactured by the Stephenson works in 1874, albeit to a design very similar to that of the original 1872 Vulcan.

    I do agree with your sentiments, though; Once I get the chance to travel to Japan, the Meiji Mura museum is most definitely on my itinerary.

  • That's a nice video! The steam locomotive was built by "Vulcan Foundry" in England, 1872. I wish I could go to Japan to visit such a beautiful village in the future!
