0-4-0T JNR Class B20 Steam Locomotive #1 Kit (Preserved at Asahi Station in Hokkaido). E sure to message us if this item is available before purchasing! The item photos show the item painted after assembly. The JNR Class B20 is a 0-4-0T Switcher-type side tank saturated steam locomotive operated by the Japanese National Railways. It was a small tank steam locomotive primarily intended for switching operations. The B20 was designed under the Important Industrial Control Law as a small steam locomotive intended for industrial use. The locomotives were manufactured during World War II, although their actual conditions of operation are not known. A total of 15 locomotives (5 by JNR’s Koriyama Works and 10 by Tateyama Heavy Industries) were manufactured. Many were retired early as these were produced under duress, and as such workmanship and build quality of the locomotives was poor. Due to the shape of their tanks, they have been referred to as the Bean Tank by casual railfans. Two locomotives survive today: class leader B20 1, located at the abandoned Asahi Station in Hokkaido, and B20 10 at the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum in Kyoto Railway Museum. Only B20 #10 is maintained in operational condition. For 9 mm Gauge Tracks. Includes Power Drive Chassis. New in Box w/Original Box. Grade: C-10 Mint-Brand New. Approximate 1 week – 2 weeks.
