OIGAWA RAILWAY. -- The Ōigawa Railway (大井川鐵道, Ōigawa Tetsudō) is a railway company in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The company is commonly known as Daitetsu (大鐵). The company belongs to the Meitetsu Group. The first section of its lines opened in 1927. The company operates preserved steam locomotives, and has "sister railway" agreements with Brienz Rothorn Bahn in Switzerland and Alishan Forest Railway in Taiwan. Because of its old-style rolling stock and the picturesque scenery, the Ōigawa Main Line is often used for shooting films or TV programs, especially those set in the pre-war period.

THOMAS & FRIENDS LOCOMOTIVES OF THE OIGAWA RAILWAY. -- One of the locomotives is actually a reproduction of Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas the Tank Engine has enjoyed great popularity here since its launch in 2014. Not only are Thomas and James at the events, but so are Hiro, Percy, Rusty and Thomas’ other friends. Since 2016, Bertie the Bus and the Troublesome Trucks have joined the event as new characters. Thomas usually runs for a limited time in summer (mid-June to early October) and Christmas. 

PLARAIL MODELS. -- Takara Tomy made Plarail models of Oigawa Thomas and Oigawa James. The models are not just a variation of the regular Thomas and James models; new molds are used to make this nice and detailed exceptional little trains. Everything is painted and printed (except the front windows), no stickers are used. The coaches are also models of Oigawa Railway coaches, not Annie & Clarabel.
