Description: the d51 is arguably the most famous steam locomotive in Japanese railroad history; it certainly was the most numerous. over 1000 were constructed between 1936 and 1945 primarily by Kawasaki Heavy Industries...used primarily in freight service, the "degoichi", the d51 nickname in japan, served for 40 years, ending its career primarily in Hokkaido island, where electrification of the mainlines occurred last among Japan's 4 main islands. with over 1000 locomotives being constructed during the ten year building period, the d51 underwent several iterations during its storied history....this d51-706 was manufactured by hitachi in 1942, at the height of wwll with the united states, and served around hiroshima.........the unique marking on the montetsu style smoke deflector is the JNR logo.......the d51-706 was scrapped in 1972..... Micro Ace is one of the dominant triumvirate of n scale manufactures in Japan - Kato and Tomix both being better known outside of Japan....Micro Ace clearly markets the broadest line of locomotives among the 3 and arguably features the finest detail work on their products.
