Product overview:

This model reproduces the EF81s from the Aomori Train Center that were used to haul the Akebono and Hakutsuru sleeper express trains. After the Hakutsuru service ended in 2003, EF81 numbers 136 and 139 were modified with double-headed couplers for use transporting trains to factories and other equipment.
