Description

The EF81 is a versatile AC/DC electric locomotive used by JNR and JR for sleeper expresses, passenger trains and freight services. This HO model represents the rose-pink general colour version associated with locomotives based at Tsuruga No. 2 Locomotive Depot in the early 1980s.

KATO's HO EF81 uses a coreless-motor bogie-drive system for strong, smooth running. The model is designed to be handled and run without an excessive number of fragile user-fitted parts, while still allowing additional detailing for those who want it.
