Product Description ■ The popular World Craft No. 16 old type electric locomotive is finally being lined up with the streamlined EF55.
In 1936, C53, C55, Moha 52, Kiha 43000, etc. appeared one after another due to the streamlined boom, and the EF55 is also an electric locomotive born by taking advantage of that trend.
Based on the popular EF53, only the first end was streamlined and the second end was kirizuma.
At first, it belonged to the Numazu Engine Depot and was engaged in towing the limited express trains "Tsubame" and "Fuji" without rivets and bolts. However, the production was discontinued with only three cars due to the necessity of changing direction by Tensha-dai and the difficulty of inspection and maintenance due to the skirt.
The second end deck was remodeled after the war, and the model was made as a prototype from the time when it was active on the Tokaido Line.
The most highlight of the streamlined front is faithfully reproduced with lost wax. Smooth running is realized by coreless motor in assembly step in a Japanese entranceway frame and equalizer operation gear box. It can pass through 700R curves.
It comes with PS14 Pantograph which is assembled by etching.
