The JGR Class 3350 (originally the Hankaku Railway Class A7) was a 2-6-2T Prairie-type side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1897 to 1928.

History

The Class 3350 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Kōya Railway, with four locomotives built by the Brooks Locomotive Works. Two were later assigned to the Hankaku Railway, reassigned the Class A7 and given the numbers 1 and 3; the other two remained on the Kōya Railway.

After the Railway Nationalization Act was passed in 1909, the locomotives were renumbered the Class 3350. The locomotives on the Kōya Railway changed hands a number of times but all were ultimately retired around 1928. No Class 3350s have been preserved.
