    Just seen a picture of the rusting remnants of a steam loco in the De-militarised Zone that seperates North and South Korea, any idea what it is?

    Its picture 10 in this list...

    I think it's called target practice.

    Bit of T-Cut would sort that out!

    So that's where the boiler was going after Swindon.

    I think it may be a 4-8-2. I was tempted to say it looked of similar type to the loco that used to be at Mudanjiang works in China, but that seems to have an external regulator rod, whereas the loco shown seems to have a regulator gland in the centre of the backhead.

    Note the extensive staying on the boiler barrel. Does it have an extended combustion chamber?

    After a bit of Googling, it seems that it's agreed it's a 2-8-2. One suggestion is that it is a MIKA-3 class.

    Afraid not, the trailing wheel of the front bogie can just be seen on the R/H side. Looks rather like American design or even manufacture to me.

    Probably Japanese following American practice. It has a Cole trailing truck, which was an Alco speciality.
