Description
DE10 is an all-purpose diesel locomotive which is capable of carrying out the two functions which contradict each other, smooth run on branch lines and switching heavy trains accurately in a yard. 708 locomotives were manufactured between 1966 and 1978. It is featured with a semi-center cab and independent 3 axle and 2 axle (5 axle) drive wheels. While it is being replaced with newer models one after another, DE10 is still in service across Japan by going through renewal modifications.

Once again another perfect loco from Kato, extremely smooth running, controllable down to a very slow crawl, and very powerful. Tested with 12 coaches
The directional lights are very realistic, and the red part of the livery is a very similar shade to that of the RhB locos!!

Smooth and quiet runner, shunts really well and will also pull long trains. Level of detail is superb. Amazing value for money
