Product Description

-- Reproduction of the Hokutosei-colored DD51. Active in Hokkaido as a double-headed tow for passenger trains including the Hokutosei!

[Product Introduction]
The DD51 series was introduced in 1962 as the main diesel locomotive for non-electrified main lines.
At its peak, there were 649 cars in production, and during the mass production process, variations such as those for cold and warm climates, passenger and freight trains were created.
The DD51, which was active in passenger transportation in Hokkaido, adopted the image of the sleeper express train "Hokutosei" that was born with the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in 1988, and from the summer of that year onwards, all locomotives were painted in blue No. 20 with a gold stripe and the Hokutosei logo on the cab.

We will be reproducing the DD51, which was mainly used to pull the sleeper express train [Hokutosei], in HO gauge.
It is ideal as a locomotive for pulling the sleeper express train [Hokutosei], such as the 1-574 Sleeper Express [Hokutosei] Oha 25 500 Lobby Car, scheduled for release in April 2026, and the 3-537 24 Series Sleeper Express [Hokutosei] Ohane 24 & Sushi 24 2-Car Set, scheduled for release in May of the same year.

The motor specifications will be changed from this product.
As a result, the product number, price, and JAN code will change.
