JNR Class D62
The JNR Class D62 (D62形) is a type of 2-8-4 wheel arrangement steam locomotive built by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) in 1950 and 1951. They were designed by Hideo Shima and rebuilt at Hamamatsu Works between 1950 and 1951.
20 Class D62s were rebuilt from the earlier World War 2 built Class D52, which had a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement and were built between 1943-1946.
No examples of the class have been preserved.
The D62 is the model upon which the Transformers Decepticon character Astrotrain is based despite that Astrotrain is based on the JNR Class D51 Mikado .
