Oigawa Railway’s Zoom Car 21000 Series

This has been my wallpaper for a few years now... was a complete fluke to get the shot and is prized as one of my favourites.

If you're ever in Japan, then the Oigawa Railway is a must visit. Heritage stock, thriving in an absolutely beautiful setting. Frequent steam services also! Turns out they (recently [I lie, 'recently' is just me excusing myself for not checking their site often enough]) acquired 3 ex-Seibu E31 Class locomotives. Hilariously similar to the locomotive that my Kato Amtrak 'fake' is based on?
