Product Description ■ The ED79 is a Seikan Tunnel section locomotive opened in 1988 (1988). It was born as a modification of the JNR's ED75700 series AC electric locomotive for both passenger and freight.
It has a structure suitable for the unique environment inside the Seikan Tunnel. Passenger trains were towed by a single limited express sleeping car and freight trains were towed by a multiple train.
It was used to tow the "Hokutosei," "Twilight Express," "Casiopea," and "Hamanasu" express train sleeping car.
You can enjoy the look of ED79 in his later years by replacing the conventional pantograph with a single-arm pantograph from the original cross-shaped lower frame.
From this product, we have adopted a slotless motor as the power source.
In addition, we have changed the expression of the wiper on the front window glass to silver. With this change, the product number, price and JAN code have been changed.
