Product Name
N Scale KATO 3003 EF57

Product Description
The EF57 is a classical DC electric locomotive introduced in 1939, mainly used on the Tōhoku and Takasaki lines.
Well-known for hauling 20-series Blue Trains such as “Hakutsuru,” it is cherished for its sturdy, angular box‑shaped body that exudes vintage charm.
This KATO model faithfully captures the EF57’s sharp boxy form and pantograph layout, offering a delightful sense of nostalgia.

Please refer to the photos for the type of coupler installed.
