Product explanation ■ The popular No. 16 EF55 No. 1 is now available in a 13 mm gauge version.
In 1936, the C53, C55, Moha 52, Kiha 43000, etc. appeared one after another due to the streamline boom that occurred at that time, and the EF55 was born as an electric locomotive by taking advantage of that trend.
Based on the popular EF53, only the first end was streamlined with no rivets and bolts, and the second end was considered kirizuma.
At first, it belonged to Numazu Engine Depot and was engaged in towing the limited express trains "Tsubame" and "Fuji", but 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 of the model was remodeled after the war, and it was a prototype of the time when it was active on the Tokaido Line.
The streamlined front, which is the most highlight, was faithfully reproduced with lost wax, and smooth running was realized by coreless motors in the assembly step in a Japanese entranceway frame and equalizer operation gearbox, and it can pass through 700R curves.
The assembled PS14 Pantograph by etching is included.
* The coupler is purchased separately.
