It looks like Nagareyama line which has been known as Ryūtetsu since 2008.  The 5.7km railway does not have its own web site.  Ex-Seibu stock probably on borrowed time.

It is. Didn't know they'd changed their name, though.

Cheers,

It's a nice little railway to visit.  Had an interesting trip a few summers ago.  There was a drunk on the train who kept spilling his drink, I had to set his bottle upright to keep the floor from getting too sticky.  After taking some pictures of the terminus, I walked about 1.5km through suburban neighborhoods and open lots to get to the Tsukuba Express station, and returned to Tokyo.

Just noticed that train is available from Bandai.
