Japanese L Type industrial locomotive

Recently I purchased an unusual HOe locomotive from Japan. This stunning little locomotive has outside frames and a working couping rod and comes either as a kit or ready to run having been put together from the kit by a 70 year old craftsman in Japan. It is a HOe scale 9mm gauge.

Here I have the loco running on the famous Henk Wursts German logging layout ''H Bach' and it looks right at home.

Currently I have no plans to run this on Loxley Barton as it is too modern, probably...

And a certain John Jacobs had a little drive...

That's a nice loco. Where is the company you got it from. More out of curiosity as I'm going to Japan next year than anything...
