Description
DD51 is a diesel locomotive for the main line representing JNR, with 649 cars manufactured from 1962 (Showa 37). For snowy areas including Hokkaido, the A cold region specification featuring a swivel window was deployed.
Among the vehicles in the Hokkaido area that were inherited by JR Freight, the vehicles that only updated the aging parts were called A renewal color with a cream front on a blue body, and appeared after 2004 (Heisei 16). JR Freight-affiliated machines in the Hokkaido area gathered in the Washibetsu Engine Depot in their later years, and in 2014, they were handed over to the successor DF200, and all cars were retired.

Absolutely love this loco. First Kato loco we've purchased and not disappointed. Far better runner than Farish etc. and still has nice detail. Great at slow speed and also is extremely fast when pushed. My son was so keen he wants another in a different colour. We are modelling 1960s UK but this fits in well enough and is a cut above. Oh, and usual helpful service from Train Trax who discussed this over the phone with me before we ordered.
