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 Itaya Pass, which had been a bottleneck for transportation, was double-tracked, resulting in major improvements, and the ED78 was introduced for use as the main locomotive on the Ou Main Line, as well as the Senzan Line and Ban'etsu West Line, which have axle weight restrictions.
On the Ou Main Line, it was used to pull the Akebono sleeper express, 50 series passenger cars, and freight trains.
The product reproduces the train's appearance with a train radio antenna on the roof.
Along with the EF71 first generation JR specification and the 50 series 2000 passenger car JR specification, which are scheduled to be released at the same time, you can enjoy the former local trains of the Ou Main Line, Senzan Line, and Ban'etsu West Line.
