IAIS 7081 - Chinese Built QJ Steam Locomotive         
It's not pretty, but steam is steam. If you close your eyes it has virtually the same smell, sounds, and feel as an American steam engine, but open those eyes and holy jumping f***ing s*** balls! Man this thing needs some parts torched off and some more black paint. Anyway, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the communist heritage unit for a while before walking a few hundred feet and hopping up on UP 844 for some real steam.
