Product Description

──The EF58 No. 66 locomotive from Ryuka Locomotive Depot, which also pulled the Hayatama, is now available! Its distinctive large windows and two-sealed beam lights are reproduced!

[Product Introduction]
EF58 No.66 was one of the last group of EF58s (the third batch of additional cars) manufactured with large front windows, and was introduced in 1953.
This vehicle was assigned to Tokyo Locomotive Depot, then transferred to Shimonoseki Locomotive Depot, before arriving at Ryuge Locomotive Depot in 1978.Towards the end of its time at the Tokyo Locomotive Depot, it was fitted with cold-weather equipment such as front icicles, and when it was transferred to Ryuge Locomotive Depot, the front headlights were converted to two lights.
Towards the end of the JNR era, it was popular as the only large-windowed locomotive other than the designated No. 61, and was used to pull the overnight local train Hayatama.
It was kept in storage after being scrapped in 1989, but was dismantled in 1996.
This model recreates the active days of EF58 No. 66, which was popular at Ryuka Locomotive Depot until its retirement.
Not only will it be able to pull the 10-1881 Night Slow Train [Hayatama], which will be released at the same time, but it also comes with headmarks for the Mystery Relay and Goodbye 66, so you can enjoy it as a locomotive to pull an event train.
