The "SL Winter Wetlands" is a winter-only tourist train that runs between Kushiro and Shibecha on the Senmo Main Line. It is the only steam locomotive currently operating in Hokkaido, and is operated with a series of passenger cars, including the "Tancho Car," in which the seats are arranged facing the windows so that passengers can feel the great nature of the Kushiro Wetlands up close, and the "Stove Car," which has a Daruma stove installed inside the car.
The traction engine, C11 171, was once preserved in a park in Shibecha, but was restored to working condition in 1998. It has been used to pull various event trains in Hokkaido, and is currently used exclusively as the traction engine for the train. It is also characterized by the fact that it drives in reverse on the return journey.
A steam locomotive currently in operation in Hokkaido is now available in N gauge. In addition to the C11 171 alone and the 5-car passenger car set, a specially planned locomotive + passenger car set in a specially designed sleeve will also be released at the same time.
You can enjoy it together with the vehicles in service on JR Hokkaido and the steam locomotive trains that operate on other JR lines.
