Between 1927 and 1930, three smaller railway companies in Manchuria had a total of 19 Mikado freight locomotives built by Škoda. These were the Qike Railway, the Huhai Railway, and the Sitao Railway. With a simple two-cylinder engine and a driving wheel diameter of around 1,400 mm, they reached a maximum permissible speed of 60 km/h.
After the founding of the Manchukuo state in 1934, the locomotives were first called „Mikani” and then renamed „Mikasa” in 1938, both of which came from the American type designation “Mikado”. In 1951 they were given the designation MK3 by the China Railway and became the JF3 from 1959. Their use probably ended in 1990 and today the number 2558 is in the museum in Shenyang.
