Product Description

-In 1930 (Showa 5), the Ministry of Railways decided to run a groundbreaking express train on the Tokaido Line. This train, named [と], is known as the peak of the golden age of pre-war railroads as the fastest train at that time, connecting Tokyo to Osaka to Kobe in 9 hours. Various devices were devised to be the fastest, but the most effort was made to reduce the number of stops. It takes great effort to replace the crew while driving from Tokyo to Nagoya without stopping, or to build a large-capacity water tank car and incorporate it into the train to eliminate water supply at the station. I was broken. This [燕] C51 type, which has been specially developed, has an additional arch-shaped handrail on the coal loading part because crew members waiting in the following passenger car must get over the charcoal turbine when moving to the locomotive. Was the biggest feature. In addition, the locomotives that were given special British and English at the factory were marked with [Limited to 10,000 km]. This means that no major adjustments are required until 10,000 kilometers after entering the factory, indicating that maintenance that is close to the current maintenance-free concept was being practiced.

[Real car]
-C51 was developed in 1919 as a passenger-type high-speed locomotive for main lines. Originally called 18900, it was renamed C51 in 1928 with the revision of the locomotive title.
-For the first time in Japan, the 2C1 (Pacific) type shaft arrangement was adopted, and it became a locomotive especially considering high-speed operation, but its ease of use was evaluated and 289 cars were produced in total.
-Many of the locomotives that have been designated as calling machines have been produced after the successor type has been evaluated. The 239 machine, which is still preserved in the Umekoji locomotive district in Kyoto, is famous, but in addition to this, the locomotive that was particularly well-tuned according to the assigned region was specially maintained and was designated as the calling machine.
