Description

The Hoki 5200 was a privately owned 30-ton open hopper wagon used by Tosa Lime Industry for limestone traffic in Shikoku. The wagons worked between the Tosa Lime Industry private line and cement facilities via Togano and Tanogo on the Tosan Main Line, often behind pairs of DF50 diesel locomotives.

This 2-car set is useful on its own or as part of a longer limestone train. It pairs especially well with KATO 7009-4 DF50 Shikoku and the larger Hoki 5200 sets if you want to build the full train.
