KATO N‑Gauge C12 Tank Steam Locomotive (2022‑1) – Compact 2‑6‑2 Model
The KATO N‑Gauge C12 Tank Steam Locomotive (2022‑1) captures the charm of Japan’s smallest mainline steam engine as it appeared circa 1970. With its classic 2‑6‑2 wheel arrangement, this finely detailed model is ideal for enthusiasts with compact layouts and tight curves.
Features
Precision-molded with spoke-free wheels, printed copper tubing for air-brake piping, and period-authentic sand spray pipes
Equipped with a coreless motor and flywheel chassis for smooth slow-speed running
Operable front and rear LP42 headlights that change with travel direction; no separate off-switch
Includes selectable number plates (42, 46, 51, 67), snow shields, and both Arnold and knuckle coupler sets to support reverse and main-line operations
Runs reliably on min-radius R150 mm track, as confirmed by multiple reviewers
Sold with a user-swappable front knuckle coupler; community feedback notes excellent build quality and smooth operation even on 6‑inch curves
Note
May need occasional lubrication and basic tuning to maintain the quietest operation at very low speeds. For DCC conversion, internal space is limited; specialized micro-decoders may be required.
