Unspecified 2-8-2 Locomotives in Korea
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Nakiha/Hyouki 8 (Locobase 3081)
Drawn from the North & South Korean Locomotives Website ([
]), although the listing is a little confusing. The author credits Yuuji Oikawa with the information on earlier classes and reproduces a table that refers to these narrow-gauge engines as Hiyouki-8. Yet he also credits Oikawa with a table of specifications in which the class is referred to as the Nakiha class.
