Phantom Gem 54: D-51きしゃ（青） Blue D-51 Kisha
There are 2 types of D-51 Kisha: Black and Blue. It seems that the blue version was very limited in production, sold in different prefectures in Japan during 1973 and discontinued in the same year according to a myth, but some books that I read said they were released in 1970 or released in 1971, and noticed that different rumours are present. Blue D-51 is listed in the catalog of 1970, so it seems that it will be confirmed as of 1970.
However the number of surviving blue D-51 are extremely small today, an estimate of 55 survives today. This box does not have the ST mark printed on it so it was launched before it met toy safety standards. A blue D-51 would be one of the most unhistorical Plarail to date due to the colour and the wagons.
