Part 2: Yume Rass Railway

This video is about the narrow gauge Yume Rass 600mm railway owned and operated by volunteers within the Yume Bokujo children's farm near Narita, Chiba Prefecture. In the video, we see loco No. 3 a Kusuki loco exported to Taiwan for the Wudu Coal Mine railway near Keelung and purchased along with sister No. 6 and parts of a heavier loco by the volunteers of Yume Rass. Although lines operated by enthusiasts and volunteers are common in the UK, this is the only one in Japan. The 'foreign visitors' for this video all Japan residents at the time included myself, Ted Talbot and an American whose name I've forgotten. We all had a chance to drive No. 3.
