Product Description
--The popular EF81 Cassiopeia color, with its vivid coloring, is now available. It also served as the tow train for the Hokutosei and Yumekukan.
[Product Introduction]
The EF81 was introduced in 1968 as a dual-mode locomotive capable of operating on the Japan Sea Trunk Line, which has three electrified sections.
They have the ability to tow both passengers and cargo, and some vehicles are still in use today, in the Reiwa era.
In 1999, to coincide with the start of operation of the sleeper express train Cassiopeia, three cars, Nos. 79, 89, and 92, were repainted in Cassiopeia colors, and later No. 99 was also repainted in the same color scheme.
It was used not only for the Cassiopeia but also for the Hokutosei, Elm, and Yumekukan trains, and continued to be in service until its successor, the EF510, was introduced in June 2010.
A new lineup has been added to KATO's (HO) EF81 series.
We will be releasing a new color called "Cassiopeia," which features a white base with yellow, orange, and blue coloring.
It is recommended as a locomotive for the currently popular (HO) 24 Series Sleeper Express [Hokutosei] passenger car products and the 3-522 (HO) 24 Series <Yumekukan>.
