── Two types of "Hokutosei-colored" locomotives have been renewed!
[Product introduction]
――We will commercialize the DD51 late cold-resistant Hokutosei, which is indispensable for the sleeper express that runs in Hokkaido.
--The DD51 was manufactured as a diesel locomotive that meets the performance of the C59 for passengers and the D51 for cargo as the flagship of the modernization of JNR.
--Incorporating the image of the sleeper limited express [Hokutosei], which was born after the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in 1988 after being succeeded by JR Hokkaido, all aircraft were painted in blue No. 20 with a gold band after the summer of the same year. The color has been changed.
――Due to the shrinking of passenger trains, the cars are gradually being scrapped, and the last 5 cars have retired due to the end of normal operation of [Cassiopeia] in March 2016.
――We will update the appearance to the details that are more similar to the actual vehicle.
――Since the car number is set differently from the existing product, it is also recommended for those who have an existing product.
--You can enjoy it as a tractor for the 10-831 / 832 24 series sleeper limited express [Hokutosei] <deluxe formation> scheduled to be reproduced at the same time.
[Product Features]
