Kato 2020-2 Steam Locomotive JR C56-160 - N Scale
 
JR C56-160

The C56 160 is the final model of the C56, and after being used in many places during the Japanese National Railways era, it was transferred to the Umekoji locomotive depot in 1972, and since then it has continued to be used as a dynamic preservation machine, and along with the C57 1, it has never been treated as a scrap car (registered as a vehicle). It is famous as a steam locomotive that has not been deleted. Since the JNR era, it has been operated on business trips throughout the country, including Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Hokuriku, Shikoku, and in the third sector. From 1987, it was used mainly on the Yamaguchi Line as the SL "Yamaguchi", and was seen in continuous operation with C57 1 and DD51, and from 1995, it was towed by the "SL Kita Biwako". The aircraft was operated several times a year. In 2018, the D51 200 was revived on the main line and was no longer operated on the main line, but it continues to be active today with the traction of the "SL Steam" operated at the Kyoto Railway Museum.
