Currently, the “Princess” is preserved in a static state, while the “Prince” is kept in an operational state, and is used to pull passenger cars on preserved railroads.

◆ 009 (double O Nine) is a “narrow gauge” model train made on 1/76 scale with 9mm track gauge. It runs also on N scale Unitrack.

◆ This is a scale model of the locomotive representing the heritage Ffestiniog Railway operated with narrow gauge (597 mm) in Snowdonia National Park, U.K. The railway stopped passenger transport operation in 1939 and closed in 1946 At the time of discontinuation of the railway, the locomotives were painted green. "Princess" pulled the last slate trains.

◆ Kato will make scale models of both of "Princess (green)" in 1945 color just before the discontinuation and "Prince (green)" color-changed in early 1960s after restoration.
