Product Description

──Two selections of DD16 factory-replaced locomotives from the east and north!

[Actual vehicle introduction]
- JNR introduced various diesel locomotives to eliminate smoke on local lines. However, it was difficult for the conventional DD13 and DE10 to enter lines that only allowed a maximum axle load of 12 tons, such as simplified lines. Therefore, the smaller DD16 was introduced from 1971 to 1975.
- Equipped with a DML61S or DML61Z engine, it has a rated output of 800 PS, a maximum pulling force of 14,400 kgf, and a top speed of 75 km/h.
- Its main purpose is to pull freight trains by itself, and it is not equipped with steam heating or an overall control mechanism.
- The DD16 was introduced to local lines across the country, but soon after, freight trains were cut back and local lines were abolished, and its use rapidly declined.
- Most of the surplus cars were scrapped before the privatization of JNR, and some were converted into shunting locomotives at rolling stock factories.
- DD16-48 was deployed to Kushiro in 1974, and served as a shunting locomotive at Naebo Works from around 1989.
- In 1994, the train was repainted in navy blue and light gray to resemble an express diesel car.
