Part #: Kat-2017-2 4-6-4 C62 #2 Steam Locomotive
 Click
picture to see large view |
Built in 1948, the 4-6-4 C62 Steam Locomotive is one of the most popular passenger steam locomotives in Japan. When it was designed, the C62 was built around the existing D52 freight boiler, whose large size required equally large drivers. As a result, the C62 was the fastest and most powerful high-speed passenger steam locomotive of its day. It was used for the famous express trains “Tsubame” (Swallow) and “Hato” (Pigeon), which it pulled on the Japanese mainline between Tokyo and Osaka until 1956 – this service granting C62 #2 its signature Swallow emblems which it wears on its smoke deflectors. After the retiring from the main line, C62 #2 was used in the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido until early 1970’s, where its glorious history as a high speed passenger locomotive make it a popular sight, and eventually granted it a place of honor at the railroad museum in Kyoto.
Product features:
- New steam locomotive mechanism uses a coreless motor for silky smooth side-rod motion and creeping speeds at low voltages.
- Details specific to #2 are present, such as the Swallow emblems printed on the smoke deflectors and the white stripe that runs the length of the running board.
- Optional knuckle couplers are included along with a swappable double heading coupler on the front.

Part #: Kat-10-590 787 Kyushu Local Express "Around the Kyushu" - 6 Car Powered Set
 Click
picture to see large view |
The Series 787 Electric Train was built in 1992 as an express train, named “Tsubame” (Swallow), in the westernmost Japanese island of Kyushu. Designer-built, the 787 featured not only a unique outer appearance, but also a luxurious interior, complete with high grade coach accommodations and a buffet. For many years the 787 was the symbolic train of Kyushu, though it has recently been replaced by a new, 2nd generation “Tsubame” bullet train. Today, the 787 is used for the local express trains supporting the new bullet train; however, it still maintains its service area in Kyushu, giving it the nickname “Around the Kyushu”.
Product features:
- This set has been designed to represent the modern, “Around the Kyushu” appearance and comes in a collector’s bookcase with six prototypical electric train cars.
- Includes selectable stickers to depict the multiple destinations across Kyushu.
- All passenger cars can be lit with optional 11-209 or 11-210 interior lighting kits.

its debut in March, 2004, on the Takaido
Main, a logistic artery in Japan. As the first
multi-motored
container express train for JR Freight,

the amount of
CO2 in the air from high-speed cargo transport.
It is expected to decrease some
14,000 metric tons of CO2 in the air annually.

- JR Hokkaido in the northern main island of Japan
started operation of the Series Kiha283 Express Train "Super-Ozora" ("Blue
Sky") in 1997.
- This is a pendulum diesel train,
an improved version
of Kiha 281 operated as express "Super-Hokuto" ("Northern
Stars"). It exceeds its
predecessor in many respects, such as body shape,
passenger car equipment, state-of-art highpowered motor and linked self-controlling pendulum trucks.
- The Pendulum trucks allow the train to
sway and tilt as it runs, allowing for a smoother
ride for the passengers.
- Compared to the Kiha281, the Kiha283 has several
big differences. The ventilators are removed from the rooftop, making the train appear more
streamlined.
- The windows on the body sides, which were combined in a line on the 281, are now
clearly separated from each other.
- Furthermore, the prototype’s front display
and body-side displays use LED markers.

 Click
on photos for larger view.
The E3 Series Shinkansen “Komachi” are new Japanese Shinkansen
high-speed trains built for the opening of the new Akita Shinkansen 'mini-Shinkansen'
line, converted from a regular 1,067 mm (3'6") narrow-gauge line between
Morioka and Akita. The line joins with the Tohoku Shinkansen.
Like the 400 Series Shinkansen, these trains are built
to a smaller loading gauge to fit on the narrower clearances
of the 'mini-Shinkansen'. The initial units built starting
in 1997 were 5-car sets, but sixth cars were built to integrate
into the existing units by the end of 1998.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
