Kato, 2026-1, Steam Locomotive C59 Post War (Kure Line), N Scale

Kato will manufacture an N-scale model of steam locomotive C59, as many as 173 of which were produced from 1941 to 1947 in a pre- and postwar period. This steam engine looks formidable with the boiler longest ever made in Japan and the long-sized tender that was designed for none-stop long-distance journey. Just before it was decommissioned, it used to pull express “Aki” on Kure line in its last glory. Kato will make this express train model sets as well.
