Product Description
--Antenna installed during the JNR (Japanese National Railways) era! Early model DE10!
[Vehicle Introduction]
In the 1960s, many steam locomotives still remained on the Japanese National Railways lines, and various diesel locomotives were developed to replace them.
The DE10 diesel locomotive was developed in 1966 to replace medium-sized locomotives used for shunting and secondary lines, such as the 9600, C11, and C58. It adopted a unique AAA-B five-axle arrangement to maintain adhesion performance while keeping the axle load down to 13 tons, and to reduce lateral pressure on curves.
It was equipped with a single DML61ZA engine, the same as the DD51, and had a distinctive appearance with a long bonnet extending to one side.
The driver's cab is positioned sideways to facilitate shunting operations.
The DE10 was a general-purpose locomotive suited to Japan's railway conditions, with 708 units manufactured by 1978. Many variations exist, including the DE11 specialized for shunting, the DE15 for snow removal, and types independently introduced by private railway companies.
DE10-100 was newly assigned to the Sakura locomotive depot in 1969, then transferred to the Utsunomiya depot, and from 1983 was assigned to the Tabata locomotive depot before being decommissioned in 1987.
In 1979, while belonging to the Utsunomiya Depot, it pulled a mystery train in collaboration with an anime on the Karasuyama Line, and while belonging to the Tabata Depot, it was recorded pulling freight trains carrying cement and other goods on the Hachiko Line.
The DE10 locomotives belonging to the Tabata locomotive depot were characterized by the installation of radio antennas for the Joban Line; one cylindrical antenna was mounted above the front window on the rear end, and another rod-shaped antenna was installed on the side handrail of the rear-end conductor.
