--Reproduce the Hokkaido-type D51! Reproduce the cold weather specifications such as sealed cab, rotating window, cut-out differential, and handrails!
[Product introduction]
- We will be reproducing Hokkaido's D51, which was in service until the end of the steam locomotive era.
- The JNR steam locomotive D51, affectionately known as "Degoichi," was manufactured in 1935 and was used all over the country in the largest number of units manufactured in Japan, with 1,115 units produced.
- There are many variations because modifications were made to suit the region and line, and in Hokkaido they were characterized by their unique equipment that could be called severe cold climate specifications.
- The D51, which was equipped with a device called a Giessle ejector to further improve combustion efficiency, had a distinctive flat, inverted trapezoidal chimney that reduced coal consumption by approximately 10%. However, since the end of the steam locomotive era was already approaching, only 36 cars were modified, and they were concentrated in the Oiwake Locomotive Depot in Hokkaido and put to good use.
- A lineup that allows you to enjoy the heavy details designed for extreme cold climates.
- It has been used as a coal transport train or freight train with a group of Seki 3000s in various parts of Hokkaido, and as a passenger train, in addition to local trains, it has also served as a helper for the sleeper express [Daisetsu] on the Sekihoku Main Line and the express [Niseko] on the Muroran Main Line, substituting for the C62.
- Starting with this product, the handrails will be made of plastic, and the leading and trailing wheels will be changed to wheels with missing spokes.
- In addition, the product number, price, and JAN code will be changed.
- Other specifications remain unchanged from the previous product.
[Product Features]
- D51 for extreme cold regions, called "Hokkaido type." This is a production version of the active locomotive from around 1975, just before the abolition of steam locomotives.
- Equipped with a Giessle ejector (induced ventilation device), accurately reproduces the inverted trapezoidal flat chimney
- Reproduces the enclosed cab and the corresponding tender front end shape, the driver's rotating window and the passenger side H-rubber support window
- Reproduces the shortened deflector, front deck handrail, and boiler upper handrail that are unique to steam locomotives that were active in Hokkaido
- Reproduces the front indicator light/tender light position different from the standard type
- The body color is a solid matte black, reminiscent of the time when the car was in operation.
- Handrails are reproduced in black
- Leading and trailing wheels have missing spokes for a detailed and realistic look.
- Uses a power unit with a flywheel for stable driving
- Snowplow is standard equipment (removable). Includes snowplow-equipped coupler for multiple-unit operation and knuckle coupler for multiple-unit operation
- Arnold coupler standard equipment, replacement knuckle coupler included
- Headlights are on. *Auxiliary lights, tender lights and tail lights are not on.
