Product Description
- The Ef57, which was used to pull the Hakkoda and Tsugaru locomotives at the Utsunomiya Locomotive Depot in its later years, is being reproduced. The first unit is also included in the lineup.
[Product Introduction]
The EF57 is a DC electric passenger locomotive that was introduced in 1940 and was a representative passenger locomotive of the pre-war Japanese National Railways.
It features a majestic style with front and rear bogie decks, and was used to pull express trains such as the Tsubame on the Tokaido Main Line.It was later transferred to the Tohoku Main Line, where it was equipped with an electric heating system for passenger trains and used to pull express trains such as the Hakkoda and Tsugaru, as well as local trains.
Among them, the top-numbered No. 1 is an unorthodox locomotive with a square body that follows the style of the EF56 second generation (8-12) and a pantograph that is positioned closer to the center, and is characterized by an appearance that is significantly different from No. 2 and subsequent locomotives.
*This product is being reproduced.
*Starting with this product, we will be using a slotless motor for power. Also, the front wheel will be changed to a wheel with no spokes.
*As a result, the product number, price, and JAN code will change.
