Product Description
--Boldly omitting the white stripe! The little-known locomotives of Nagoya
[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.
- The locomotive was equipped with a single DML61ZA engine, the same as that of 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, and 708 units were 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.
- DE10-1061 is one of the power-enhanced locomotives manufactured in 1971.
- After being used in Okayama for about four years after its manufacture, this locomotive was mainly active in Aichi Prefecture. When it was assigned to the Inazawa No. 1 Locomotive Depot in the 1980s, the white stripe on the side was omitted and the underframe was changed to a solid black color, giving it a rather unusual appearance.
- It was later repainted in the standard diesel locomotive livery.
