KATO N Gauge D51 498 Side Railway Model Steam Locomotive Black (with Light) 2016-A

Commercialization of D51 No. 498 equipped with secondary lights! D51 498 was kept in static condition after its retirement, but it returned to the main line in 1988 under the traction of Orient Express '88, which was visiting Japan at the time. Since then, it has become popular for pulling event trains such as ``SL Minakami'' on the Joetsu Line, and has become one of JR East's signature vehicles. In 2015, an LP405 type auxiliary light was installed next to the headlight. Currently, it is mainly active in ``SL Gunma Minakami'' and ``SL Gunma Yokokawa'' driving 12 series passenger cars. We will reproduce recent changes such as the auxiliary light attached to the side of the headlight, the smoke collector mounting seat, the manufacturing nameplate of the cab, and the appearance of the tender. 10-1720 Ideal for towing machines for 12 series passenger cars JR East Takasaki Vehicle Center.
