Description

 

 

The EF15 was the standard electric freight locomotive, with 202 units mass-produced between 1947 and 1958. It served on DC sections nationwide, from Kuroiso on the Tohoku Main Line in the north to Shimonoseki on the Sanyo Main Line in the south, until around 1987.

This locomotive was widely used throughout the country, and is recommended for pulling various freight cars that were in service during that period. Use photographs, videos, and other reference materials to recreate a realistic train formation.

This product is a reproduction. Starting with this model, a slotless motor will be used for power. The leading wheels will also be changed to spoked leading wheels. Other specifications remain unchanged from the previous model.

 

Main Features

1. This is a Toshiba-manufactured EF15 standard model (No. 46-129) that was active at Takasaki No. 2 Locomotive Depot around 1978, featuring seven side windows, a monitor roof, a PS14 pantograph, and plate-type license plates. 2. The
EF15's distinctive features, such as the diagonally positioned shoulder springs and suspension links beneath the deck, are realistically reproduced, along with the deck details unique to older electric locomotives.
3. The driver's cab is recreated (control panel, chair, and see-through interior).
4. Cold-climate specifications, such as a whistle cover and snowplow used for crossing the Joetsu border, are included as standard.
5. Warm-climate specifications can be recreated by removing the snowplow and replacing it with the included whistle.
6. The HT61 bogie, with its heavy feel, is accurately reproduced, featuring two sandboxes on each axle and brake rods. Standard equipped with spoke-tipped wheels.
7. The PS14 pantograph with its pipe-shaped pantograph shoes is reproduced.
8. The use of a slotless motor ensures smooth and quiet running.
9. The headlights light up (using warm-colored LEDs).
â‘© Arnold coupler is standard equipment. Replacement knuckle coupler is included.
⑪ Selectable number plates: "EF15 79", "EF15 96", "EF15 97", "EF15 111" are included.
