Description
The ED75 appeared in 1963 as a standard AC electric locomotive of JNR, and although it was a D-type, it demonstrated a traction force comparable to that of an F-type DC electric locomotive, and was used as a regular train from the Blue Train in AC electrified sections in various places.
Among them, 39 1000 series were mass-produced and active as a high-speed type that pulled the 20 series limited express sleeper passenger car and the 10000 series container high-speed freight train mainly on the Tohoku Main Line and Joban Line.
It is a locomotive that was responsible for everything from sleeper express trains to freight trains during the JNR era, and is indispensable for enjoying the Tohoku Main Line and Joban Line of yesteryear. It is recommended as a traction machine for your existing passenger and freight cars.

Great detail and fantastic runner, pleasantly surprised by the quality this being my first Kato loco. Makes my Bachmann 009's look ridiculously overpriced.

The usual Kato quality at an extremely competitive price. Very smooth running in both directions, even at low speed, and negotiates Kato R150 radius curves. Directional lighting, two traction wheels and a selection of running numbers included in the box. Another perfect transaction with the highly recommended Train Trax.
