Product Detail

Tobu Railway's 'SL Taiju' is a steam locomotive train towed by a C11 that began operating between Shimoimaichi and Kinugawa Onsen in 2017. In 2020, the No. 325 locomotive from the Moka Railway was purchased, and in 2022, the No. 123 locomotive began commercial operation, and the train is now operated with three steam locomotives.

The C11 No. 325 locomotive was manufactured in 1946 and was initially used at the Chigasaki Locomotive Depot before being transferred to the Yonezawa Locomotive Depot where it was used until 1973. After being scrapped, it was preserved in static form, but in 1998 it was restored to working order and was used as a locomotive for the 'SL Moka' on the Moka Railway along with the C12-66.

In 2020, it was transferred to Tobu Railway, and with the addition of an antenna and jumper plugs, it is now used as a locomotive for the 'SL Taiju'.
