Information
Express train painting for electric locomotive EF58 is also called "blue train painting." The painting was used for twenty EF58 locomotives dedicated to pull Series 20 Express Sleeper Passenger Cars, which made their debut in 1958 as Express Sleeper Train "Asakaze," meaning "morning breeze." The locomotive is painted blue with a horizontal cream line on the bottom, matching the paint scheme of the pulled passenger cars. As its other unique feature, the locomotive has hoses on its front bottom for equipment connection with the power-generating car.
We plan to release a scale model of this electric locomotive equipped with our driving unit with flywheel for powerful and smooth run in late 2003
