Challenge to old subject


To build the 45mm gauge 2B1 live steam locomotive designed by Dr. Watanabe at 1967,
I have looked for the information and parts such as frame, wheels, boiler, and engine.


Moreover, I bought the cutting, bending, and rolling machine for the construction.


Assembling the drivers, wheels, engine to the chassis


Mr. Inoue presented me a full complete 2B1 chassis as shown upper in the photo above, so I got a best example !


Reports from the others

Little world
