Product Description
The DF200 was introduced in 1992 as a large mainline diesel locomotive to replace the DD51 from the Japan National Railways era for pulling long freight trains on non-electrified sections. It is an electric diesel locomotive that is currently in use, mainly in Hokkaido, for pulling freight trains on non-electrified sections of the Chubu region, and also for pulling JR Kyushu's cruise train "Seven Stars".
The initial production locomotives are already more than 30 years old, and a successor model is scheduled to appear in 2027.
This book introduces the DF200 in action all over the country with color graphs, as well as the lineage of each production series of the actual vehicle, its range of operation and towing performance, showing it towing not only container trains, but also oversized freight, the sleeper express train [Cassiopea] in Hokkaido, and transporting chips used as raw material for paper, as well as cement trains and cement-related hopper trains in the Chubu region.
Additionally, for model enthusiasts, there will be photo explanations of the details of each series and their differences, which will serve as reference material for adding detail to models.
