● Item Introduction

The DD51 diesel locomotive, manufactured since 1962, stands as a quintessential symbol of the Japanese National Railways (JNR), having traversed the entire nation except for Shikoku. The DD51 engines that operated in the San’in region boasted a distinctive style, equipped with snowplows and known as the B cold weather specification. They served diverse purposes, from ordinary and freight trains composed of traditional cars to sleeper express trains like the "Izumo".

◆ It remains an indispensable locomotive for both passenger and freight trains along the San‘in Main Line. Additionally, it’s highly recommended as the prime mover for the simultaneous release of the 10-1914 EXPRESS "SAMBE" (5 Cars)..
