Its a Kiso Forest Ry (Japan) 30" gauge Baldwin. A sister engine is now in the collection of the California state Railroad Museum, now 3' gauge (gift of Henry Sorensen)

I believe it was the Kiso 7, owned by a man down in the Goleta area. Been stored off-site for awhile, don't know if I'm at liberty to say where, still 30" and wood-fired. Along with the engine Sorenson had on his Humboldt Northern setup, there's a third Kiso Baldwin up at the logging museum in Akazawa Forest (the oldest I believe). Brad LaRose is involved with the 3' project up in Santa Margarita; they're holding a benefit run next weekend for the museum.
