Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

Product Description The Ministry of Railways Type ED42 is an electric locomotive exclusively for the section between Yokogawa and Karuizawa (Usui Pass), which used to be the Abt section of the Shinetsu Main Line. In 1934, 28 locomotives 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 locomotives were converted to electric regenerative brakes. In 1951, the electric power was collected from the third auxiliary equipment + passenger car (freight car) + second auxiliary equipment + first auxiliary equipment + main machinery.
In 1961, the Series Kiha 57 and Series Kiha 82 were used for the propulsion and traction of diesel cars.
Following the three types of No. 1 to No. 4, the standard type, and the wartime type A, the new model was also used for the propulsion and traction of diesel cars such as Series Kiha 57 and Series Kiha 82.
The following differences can be seen in comparison with the standard models already on sale.
For example, the air filter has been improved, so the pitch is fine.
In addition, the shape of the front window and through door has been changed, and even the position of tail lights and wipers has been changed in fine details.
In addition, there are rugged bolts lined up on the hem of the equipment extraction part visible on the side of the car body.
Because the same ED42 was used in multiple train operation, the difference in appearance is obvious.
The power part is equipped with two #1020 coreless motors and has the same structure as the conventional ED42.
The metal PS11 pantograph is included.
* The coupler is separately ordered. Assembly, rod adjustment and painting finish are required.
