Garden Festival 'zone' | Multiple Zones |
Type of object | Vehicle, boat or ship |
Current situation | Partly known |
Current location, if known | Rusutsu Resport, Hokkaido, Japan (as of May 2022) |
Notes | Three locomotives, with carriages, were built by Severn Lamb Ltd and based loosely on the design of Caledonian Railway 4-2-2 Locomotive no 23 (which had been built in Glasgow in 1886). They travelled the Festival Railway on a 25-minute circuit, and - despite their appearance - they were driven by diesel engines. The locomotives (and, it seems, their carriages) were transferred to Japan after the Festival. At least one locomotive still runs at the Rusutsu Resort. |
