KATO KATO N Gauge EF61 Railway Model Electric Locomotive Blue 3093-1

The EF61 is a direct current electric locomotive for passengers that was completed in 1961.It is equipped with a steam generator (SG) for heating and water and fuel tanks, so it has a longer car body than the EF60 and EF65. The biggest feature is that it is long. The baggage trains that were operated in tandem with EF61 and EF58 are famous. When it first appeared, it was used to tow express trains and 20-series sleeper express trains on the Tokaido/Sanyo Main Line, but it was later repainted to blue No. 15, the standard paint color for new high-performance DC machines. It was a famous support player that supported transportation on the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines during the JNR era, mainly operating baggage trains and towing freight trains on the Sanyo Main Line. It is ideal as a towing machine for the 10-899/1724 mail/baggage train "Tokaido/Sanyo" 6-car set A/B scheduled to be released at the same time. In addition, when combined with the Blue Train pulled by EF65 and the 117 series special rapid train, you can recreate the scenery of the Sanyo Main Line of yesteryear.
