Thank you very much for considering your purchase. Before proceeding, please review the following details. Item: KATO 7009-4 DF50 Diesel Locomotive (Shikoku Version) Description: This is the KATO 7009-4 DF50 Diesel Locomotive – Shikoku Version. The real DF50 was Japan’s first mass-produced diesel-electric locomotive, introduced in 1957 as part of the modernization efforts to replace steam engines. It served both passenger and freight operations across Japan. The Shikoku Version was specially modified to suit the island’s environment, which features many tunnels and humid conditions. It includes additional ventilation equipment and a unique roof design. The locomotive is painted in the classic JNR red-orange with a cream stripe—an iconic color scheme reminiscent of Japan’s Showa-era railways. KATO’s model accurately reproduces these regional differences, with finely detailed vents, roof components, and underframe structures. It features smooth and quiet running performance, combining precision design with excellent durability. Perfect for display or realistic layout operation. Please refer to the photos for the type of couplers installed. Condition: Used item.
