Thank you for visiting.

This is an Aster Hobby live steam model of the Japanese National Railways 8500 steam locomotive.

The model faithfully reproduces the characteristic details of the prototype, including its distinctive tender wheel arrangement.

This model was reportedly displayed and stored in its case. There does not appear to be noticeable heat-related paint damage, although please refer to the photos for the actual condition.

The 45 mm Gauge 1 size gives the model an impressive presence and substantial weight.

As a live steam model, the connecting rods are functional mechanical parts that transmit power to the driving wheels during operation, rather than merely decorative parts as on many electric models.
