Product Description
--An updated version of the last sleeper express train, the Hamanasu, which ran through the Seikan Tunnel between Aomori and Sapporo!
[Product Introduction]
- The ED79 is a locomotive exclusively for the Seikan Tunnel section that opened in 1988. It is an AC electric locomotive for both passenger and freight use, created by modifying the JNR ED75 700 series. Its structure is suited to the unique environment inside the Seikan Tunnel, and it was used to pull passenger trains alone and freight trains in multiple units.
- It was used to pull the sleeper express trains [Hokutosei], [Twilight Express], [Cassiopea], and the sleeper express [Hamanasu]. You can enjoy the appearance of the ED79 in its later years, when the regular pantograph was replaced from the original under-frame cross type to a single-arm pantograph.
- Starting with this product, we will use a slotless motor for power. Also, the color of the windshield wiper will be changed to silver. Accordingly, the part number, price, and JAN code will be changed.
[Product Features]
- The machine belonging to the JR Hokkaido Hakodate Transportation Office Seikan Branch (formerly Goryokaku Locomotive Depot) is now a commercial product. Since 2010, the regular pantograph on the 2nd end (towards Hakodate) has been replaced with a single arm.

- Reproduces the compact appearance that follows the ED75
