Locomotives – Steam (57)

In 1994, GE delivered the first AC4400CW locomotive, their answer to EMD’s successful SD70MAC. Nearly 10 years later, the AC4400CW has become one of the most successful locomotives in the history of North American railroading. The AC4400CW is operated by railroads from East to West and Canada to Mexico. The Kato AC4400CW features Cab, Headlight, Inverter Cabinet, and Number Board details accurate for each prototype road name. Models have directional headlights and lighted walkwaymounted ditch lights, as well as lighted Number Boards. The models feature Kato Magnetic Knuckle Couplers, our fivepole motor with dual brass flywheels for smooth operation, and a DCCFriendly mechanism for easy dropin of a DCC decoder. Features Productized in the form after the full inspection in January 2022 Reproduces the distinctive appearance, such as the rotating spark arrestor on the chimney, the protective fence under the cab, and the Hokkaido-shaped guide handrail on the deck Reproduces the car body markings (manufacturing nameplate: 1940/Kawasaki Sharyo/manufacturing No. 2333, etc.) by printing. The district nameplate is printed with "Kushiro" Equipped with snowplows on both the front and rear Dummy coupler on the front side, Arnold coupler on the rear side as standard. Comes with knuckle coupler, Arnold coupler for reverse driving, knuckle coupler, etc. for replacement Both the front and rear headlights light up (uses incandescent LED) Uses a power unit equipped with a coreless motor for stable driving Includes headmarks for "SL Winter Wetlands" and "SL Suzuran"

The C57 type was a passenger steam locomotive that succeeded the C55 type, and was in service until the retirement of JNR steam locomotives in December 1975. During the time of the Japanese National Railways, No. 180 was mainly active on the Uetsu Main Line and Ban'etsu West Line, and after its retirement it was preserved at Niitsu Daiichi Elementary School. However, it was restored to its vehicle register in 1999 and is currently in service on the "SL Ban'etsu Monogatari" on the Ban'etsu West Line. When the ATS-P, which was not originally equipped, was newly installed, the ATS generator was replaced with a larger one, a front snowplow was installed year-round, and from April 2024, the smoke chamber handle was replaced and the decorations on the chimney and other parts were removed, resulting in changes to the appearance. Features High Grade (HG) specifications The generator, which has become larger due to the ATS-P, and the snowplow, which can be installed year-round, are reproduced by new production The shape of the smoke chamber handle has been changed, and the appearance after April 2024, when the golden decorations on the chimney, water heater, etc. have been removed, is reproduced The open cab window is reproduced by new production The Track are reproduced with separate plastic parts The leading wheels use see-through plate wheels The number plate is included as a separate part "C57-180 (black background)" Headmark "SL Banetsu Monogatari" included Motor with flywheel installed inside the boiler Headlights equipped with constant lighting circuit board Headlights on main body and tender are lit (auxiliary lights are not lit) The cab light window can be opened and closed. The release lever is reproduced with a separate part (front and rear) The marker lights of the tender are integrated and the lenses are attached as separate parts. Front coupler for multiple-unit operation is included. ATS on-board unit for tender is included as a separate part.

It was one of only eight locomotives given a name from new, the remainder being named between August 1925 and the following February.  Isinglass was rebuilt as an ‘A3’ in April 1946, which included a new boiler to a higher pressure, matching 27 new ‘A3’ locomotives constructed between 1928 and 1935. Renumbered 531 in 1946, the locomotive became No. 60063 under BR and was fitted with a double-chimney in 1959 and smoke deflectors in 1961. It was withdrawn from service in June 1964 and scrapped.

The new locomotives had many innovations, such as chain-driven valve gear that was lubricated by means of an oil bath, electric lighting, one piece Firth-Brown driving wheels, and the distinctive air-smooth casing. The unusual French-style number 21C4 was replaced by the BR number 35004 in October 1949, following nationalization of the railways. Rebuilt in July 1958, it was eventually withdrawn from Bournemouth shed in October 1965 and scrapped by Cohens at Eastleigh shed in 1966.
