    These animations are really interesting, as has been said, there's never been much said on the history of Japanese steam locomotives, never mind the preservation movement. I'm quite greatful you've been able to fill in the gaps with this rather nice and precise animation. Thank you indeed.

    3:44 672! They're like the Japanese equal to the LMS Black Five, an all-rounder mixed-traffic locomotive built in large numbers (842 Black Fives being built between 1935 and 1951 by five workshops).

    8620 where also pulling mixed trains (passengers and freight) 8620 types have held on the express title The Swallow.

    Still a fantastic video from a deeply underrated channel. I can't tell you how glad I am to have such a charming narrator to enlighten us in the West in the often little understood history of Japanese railways and locomotives.
    It seems several people have already put forward requests and suggestions for other steam locomotive classes that they would like to learn about. If I may, I would like to add one more to the list: Class C51, Japan's first true high speed express locomotive and arguably one of the most beautiful steam locomotive classes ever built.

    Very interesting. We don't hear much about Japanese railroad history in the US (or any other nations') so I'm happy you filled in some big gaps for me. That certainly is a good-looking engine.

    日本語で、申し訳ありません。下手に翻訳して誤解を招いてしまいそうなので、
    8620形のことをものすごく細かい情報まで細かく書かれていて驚きました。電化を描いたシーンでは山一證券が出てきて懐かしくなりますね。日本の鉄道といえば、東京や大阪などの都市圏の電車や新幹線が話題になります。でも、この動画のように、日本にも蒸気機関車が走っていたことを取り上げていただくことは大変嬉しく思います。制作いただきありがとうございます。

    Thank you for making an explanation video of the steam locomotive 8620.
    If possible, I would be grateful if you could explain the "D51 steam locomotive," which was the model for the Japanese locomotive "Hiro" that appeared in Thomas the Tank Engine.
    It's a steam engine that every Japanese knows, so be sure to check it out.

    • @timmyhers9253
      @timmyhers9253 Před 2 lety +2

      Mr. C6 is based on the infamous C62 class 4-6-4 steam locomotive, which is in-fact the fastest known steam locomotive to run on a narrow-gauge rail line, with a top speed of 129 km/h (80 mph).

    Wonderful little video, I hope one day you might do a video on some of the other steam locos of Japan like the C62 and D51. I was introduced to the former by watching Galaxy Express 999, and ever since I've been fascinated by Japan's SL's.
    Sort of wish I could understand Japanese, as most of the railfan videos and documentaries don't have subtitles, so I have to have an educated guess about what's going on, though I still enjoy watching them, especially when they have cab footage so I can see how the crew is running the engine.

    • @DiscothecaImperialis
      @DiscothecaImperialis Před rokem +1

      Galaxy Express 999; a masterpiece by Leiji Matsumoto (25th January 1938 - 13th February 2023) has made the C62 Famous. and this engine has been Japanese SL Superstars for four decades until Demon Slayers: Mugen Train Arc toppled it. Even Kyoto Museum even has roundplate for Demon Slayers: Mugen Train Arc Promotion for the C62-2. to a train that is supposed to go to space!
      I don't know if someone did a doujinshi crossover of Galaxy Express 999 and Demon Slayers? What would Maetel and Tetsuro do if they board the Mugen Train and met Rengoku Kyoujuro and Team Tanjiro? and what will Tetsuro do if he sees a demon attack. will he tries to shoot one with his Cosmodragoon?

    The 8800 looks like a smaller P8. No wonder Japan liked them, in Germany the P8 was also called 'Girl for Everything' and she did her duty well into the 70's.

    Fascinating: I've learned more about Japanese steam railways in the past 9 minutes than my previous 70+ years. In 2002-2004 I did work on the Taiwan Shinkansen project with MHI, and that was interesting, but cannot compare with steam. I hope for more.

Also, there are some preserved machines even if they don't work, such as the top number 8620 in Ome, Tokyo, so as a Japanese railway lover, I would be happy if you could come and see them (*^^*)
