HoJi 6005 series

The HoJi 6005 series is a Japanese steam railcar operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1910 to 1952.
==History==
The HoJi 6005 series of steam railcars are part of what is known as the "Kudō-type" steam railcar, designed by Hyōjirō Kudõ, a design chief at Kisha Seizō, in 1909. These were constructed from circa 1909 to about 1913.
Many of these were renumbered in their later years and all were retired by 1952.
==Specifications==
Essentially a self-propelled wooden passenger car, the Kudō-type of steam railcar was popular due to its design allowing for easy removal and replacement of the onboard steam engine.
The steam engine propelled four small driving wheels similar to that of an 0-4-0 steam locomotive.
