Description
"The Class DD51 (DD51形) is a B-2-B wheel arrangement diesel-hydraulic locomotive type operated in Japan since 1962. 649 locomotives were built between 1962 and 1978 by Kawasaki Sharyo, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi. The class was designed for mainline passenger and freight use with more power than the D51 and a higher maximum speed than the C62 steam locomotive classes. This was achieved by installing two 1,100 hp engines in an 18 metre long centre-cab design, unusual for mainline operation. The V12 DML61 engines were developed from the 6-cylinder inline DMF31 engines used in the Class DD13 locomotives. As of 1 April 2016, 29 locomotives remained in operation."

This particular model is built for warm regions.
Couplers should match height with previous Japanese rolling stock.
This locomotive is tuned and should reach the end of the bridge on Canyon without derailing.
It is 1211 bricks.

It's an odd thing that they've really taken to. On most locomotives, the middle truck is powered as well, but on this one, it's just there for weight distribution.
