Product Description

-- 55th anniversary of the opening of the Seibu Chichibu Line! Enjoy the classic trains that defined an era of Seibu Railway in N gauge!

[Product Introduction]
With the opening of the Seibu Chichibu Line in October 1969, Seibu Railway built the E851 type F class (six-axle power) electric locomotive, the first of its kind for a private railway, to transport cement from the Chichibu region in addition to passenger service.
Mitsubishi Mining and Cement also constructed new Taki 1900 type tank cars and Teki 401 type bogie covered cars and began freight transport.
Cement trains ran between Higashi-Yokoze (a freight station) where Mitsubishi Mining Cement is located, and Kokubunji and Ikebukuro, but after the opening of the Japanese National Railways Musashino Line in 1973, they also ran between Higashi-Yokoze and Shin-Akatsu.
Between Higashiyokoze and Ashigakubo, there is a continuous gradient of 25‰ (per mille), so in order to pull a 1,000-ton freight train loaded with cement, multiple E851 type locomotives, the largest and strongest private railway company locomotives, were required, and we were able to see full-scale freight transport on a mountain route.

We will be reproducing the cement transport train that was in service on the Seibu Chichibu Line, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary since its opening.
You can enjoy the scenery of the old Seibu Railway lines together with the "10-1358 Seibu Railway 101 Series <Early Model> New Paint" and "10-1359 Seibu Railway 5000 Series <Red Arrow>", which are scheduled to be released at the same time.
In addition, by purchasing two sets of this product, you can recreate a full formation of E851 type double-unit traction.
