Product Explanation The Ministry of Railways Type ED42 is an electric locomotive exclusively used for the section between Yokogawa and Karuizawa (Usui Pass), which used to be the Abt section of the Shinetsu Main Line. In 1934, 28 cars were produced to replace the previous Type EC40.
In the station yard, electricity was collected from the pantograph, and in the Abt section, electricity was collected from the third rail with current collecting shoes.
After the war, the mass-produced models were converted to electric regenerative brakes. From 1951, the system was operated based on a composition of four cars consisting of 3rd auxiliary, passenger car (freight car), 2nd auxiliary, 1st auxiliary, and main machinery.
From 1961, it was also used to drive and tow diesel cars such as Series Kiha 57 and Series Kiha 82.
In 1963, it lost its use due to the abolition of the Abt section and the appearance of Type EF63, and it was totally abolished.
Following the well-received kit, we have now arrived as a finished product.
This product is based on the post-war prototype of the 5th to 1st models, which can be said to be the standard type with the largest number of cars.
