[Product Name]
N Gauge KATO 2009
D51 “Namekuji” Steam Locomotive (Powered)
[Product Description]
This model represents the D51 (Degoichi), one of Japan’s most iconic steam locomotives,
specifically the highly distinctive “Namekuji” (Slug) type produced in the early years of D51 manufacturing.
The nickname “Namekuji” refers to the smooth, streamlined casing on top of the boiler—
a semi-streamlined design seen on early pre-war D51 units.
This gives the locomotive a unique silhouette, making the “Namekuji” variant particularly popular among collectors.
KATO’s model No. 2009 faithfully reproduces the characteristic upper-boiler casing,
heavy detailing, and strong running performance of this rare D51 type.
The locomotive also features working headlights, enhancing realism during layout operation.
Please refer to the photos for the type of couplers installed.
