Tenshodo Z scale D51 2 8 2

Continuing my series of looks at Japanese outline Z Scale models I am looking at the Tenshodo D51 2-8-2. This model has been out for some time now and is getting hard to find but was a breakthrough model when it first appeared with its tender mounted motor driving the loco through a cardan shaft. Smooth running and beautifully detailed it is hard to believe than when it first came out it was retailing for $110!

Another informative and enjoyable video .....i have recently bought one my self for my future layout. Please do more videos on such things as Rokuhan and Tenshodo rolling stock and maintenance for z gauge equipment . Keep up the good work :-)

Bought one for $100 from ztrack when they first came out. Cool layout, I wasn't sure that was z scale behind you because the steel plant is so big!
