I'm guessing that Thailand is over the Japanese Occupation? Were these imported Japanese war locos?

Why the Japanese flags?

I am guessing a possible re enactment or commemoration of the Japanese occupation during WWII? From Wikipedia..."In 1942 Kanchanaburi was under Japanese control. It was here that Asian forced labourers and Allied POWs, building the infamous Burma Railway, constructed a bridge; an event immortalised in the film Bridge on the River Kwai. Almost half of the prisoners working on the project died from disease, maltreatment and accidents."....

Both locos send to Kanchanaburi for a WW II memorial festival that always held there in every year.The locos will join the festival in the night WW II exhibition mainly because they decided to real wartime locos rather than paper-build trains for more realistic.They were painting into Thai liveries since they came from Japan during wartime by adding Thai Railroad abbreviation in their tender. However.They're hidden them with a big Japan flag in the tender because they think its unrealistic for most of people.
