Kato 51-291 Sekisui Main Line 0-4-0 ST Emeslett OSCAR (OO-9 Narrow Scale)

The Sekisui Main Line is a route that circles the grounds of Sekisui Metal Co., Ltd., Tsurugaoka Factory in Tsurugashima City, Saitama Prefecture. This cultural facility conveys British preserved railway culture through themes such as nature and the manmade, science and sensibility, and individuality and coexistence.

The most modern steam locomotive operating on the line, OSCAR, is a newly built engine for the Sekisui Main Line with the class name Emeslett. OSCAR is characterized by a slim chimney, a round-headed vertical boiler, a cab without a roof, decorative details throughout, and a ship's wheel used as the regulator handle.

This product reproduces the small, charming appearance and finely detailed, weighty presence of a steam locomotive in 9 mm narrow gauge. Operation on narrow gauge UniTrack with adjusted sleeper spacing is recommended. The separately available 25-918 Sekisui Main Line Mini Diorama Kit is ideal for creating a small diorama inspired by the Sekisui  Main Line.
