KATO N Gauge D51 Hokkaido Type Giesle Ejector 2016-C Railway Model Steam Locomotive

D51 Hokkaido Type Product Description The D51, a JNR steam locomotive with an enclosed cab and a truncated deflector, was popularly nicknamed ``Degoichi'' and was used in Hokkaido until the end of the steam locomotive era.Since its introduction in 1935, 1115 locomotives were manufactured, the largest number in Japan, and they were used all over the country. Many variations can be seen as they were modified according to the region and line section, and in Hokkaido they were characterized by unique equipment that could be called extremely cold region specifications. Equipped with a device called the ``Giesl ejector'', the D51 was characterized by its flat, inverted trapezoidal chimney, and had the effect of reducing coal consumption by approximately 10%, but as steam engines had already reached their end, only 36 cars were modified, and they were deployed intensively at the Oiwake Engine Depot in Hokkaido.
