Product Description
──EF71 and EF78, which were active mainly around Itaya Pass, are now available in JR specifications with antennas. Ideal for towing the Red Train!
[Product Introduction]
The Ou Main Line, which connects Fukushima and Aomori via Yamagata and Akita, departs from Fukushima and branches off into the Tohoku Main Line, where it tackles the steep Itaya Pass, the first hurdle before crossing the Ou Mountains, the backbone of the Tohoku region.
In 1968, in conjunction with the full electrification of the Tohoku Main Line, the section across Itaya Pass up to Yonezawa was also switched from DC to AC.
At the same time, the line was double-tracked, greatly improving the Itaya Pass, which had been a bottleneck for transportation, and the EF71 was introduced as a dedicated locomotive for the Ou Main Line.
The EF71 was introduced as an F-type locomotive, which was rare for an AC electric locomotive, and was the first to be equipped with electric regenerative braking.It was designed specifically for the Itaya Pass route, and was used as a helper locomotive for the Kiha 181 series Tsubasa and other trains.
It was also used in combination with ED78 to pull local trains using 50 series passenger cars.
The product reproduces the train's appearance with a train radio antenna on the roof.
You can enjoy the Red Train before the Ou Main Line was converted to gauge, along with the ED78 1st generation JR specification and the 50 series 2000 passenger car JR specification, which are scheduled to be released at the same time.
