Shuzenji Romney Railway - Misplaced Pages

The Shuzenji Romney Railway (ロムニー鉄道, Romney Railway) is a 1.2 km, 15 in (381 mm) gauge ridable miniature railway located in Niji-no-Sato (Rainbow Park) in Izu, Shizuoka, on the Izu Peninsula in Japan. It is Japan's first 15-inch gauge railway. It is based on the English Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway on the English Channel coast in Kent, which opened in 1927. The railway operates using a mixture of steam and diesel locomotives and enclosed saloon carriages. Its primary two steam engines were built by the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England, and are based on that line's 1976 Northern Rock 2-6-2 steam locomotive. Its No. 2 locomotive Ernest W. Twining was acquired from the Fairbourne Railway in Wales when that line converted to 12+1⁄4 in (311 mm) gauge. There is also a small 15-inch gauge railway museum.
