Product Description

──EF66, the most powerful locomotive in the Japanese National Railways, reproduces the appearance of the Japanese National Railways era

[Actual vehicle guide]
- The EF66 was mass-produced in 1968 as a locomotive capable of pulling a 1,000-ton high-speed freight train with a maximum speed of 100 km/h, and 55 0-series locomotives were manufactured.
- From the 21st unit onwards, the appearance changed, with the front decorative band and skirt shape changed, and a canopy was installed over the front window.
- From 1985, the later models were selected to pull the Blue Train, and after the JR system was established, the No. 40 to No. 55 locomotives stationed at Shimonoseki Depot were used.
- Many of the cars that were handed over to JR Freight when the JNR was privatized were repainted in a similar style to the 100 series cars, but cars that were repainted after 2004 were repainted in a blue-based style, and cars that were repainted before that were gradually repainted.
- The last of the 0-series locomotives to undergo renovation, the No. 27, kept its JNR livery and was used to pull freight trains until 2023.
