Stan Kopiczak reports in from the

YOKOHAMA LIVE STEAM CLUB

The above locomotives were scratch built by Mr. Sugimoto. Top photo of a great looking climax, this particular locomotive only has front wheel drive. The 0-4-0 is a Swiss locomotive used in mountain areas, thus having drive gears.

The above two photos were scratch built by Mr. Osami Kanda. The 0-6-0 is modeled after a French switch engine. The 2-6-0 is modeled after a German locomotive.

Ruby was very popular at the day's meet (3 in total). This locomotive was equipped with remote control.

 
Great looking scratch-built 0-4-0.
