Product Description

--The C57 No. 135 that pulled the Muroran Main Line Train 225 on December 14, 1975 is reproduced in HG specification!

[Actual vehicle guide]
The C57 class was a passenger steam locomotive that was introduced as a successor to the C55 class, and was active on main and sub-main lines throughout the country.
Steam locomotives, which had been the main source of power since the opening of the railway on October 14, 1872, became less common after the modernization of power sources after the war, and finally disappeared from pulling passenger trains on December 14, 1975, with the 225 train on the Muroran Main Line being the last.
The last steam locomotive-hauled passenger train of the Japanese National Railways was the C57 class, and on that day, the C57-135 pulled the 225 train, which was made up of eight passenger cars, four more than the standard, with a headmark attached.
On December 24 of the same year, the last freight train hauled by a steam locomotive was operated on the Yubari Line. On March 2nd the following year, 1976, the 9600 series ceased shunting work within the Oiwake Station yard, and all commercial steam locomotives except for preserved locomotives were retired, achieving the modernization of the power source.
