Kato 3024-4 EF64 1000 Standard Color Air Conditioner Installed (Gray H Rubber) (N scale)

Kato 3024-4 EF64 1000 Standard Color With Cooler Installed (Gray H Rubber) recreates a JR Freight EF64 1000 in N scale. The EF64 1000 subseries appeared in 1980 to replace older electric locomotives on the Takasaki and Joetsu lines. After the JR era began, air conditioners were installed on the roof to improve crew working conditions, and the locomotives handled passenger and freight trains on steep-gradient routes.
This model represents the 1990s appearance of Takasaki Depot EF64 1000 locomotives with roof air conditioner equipment and gray H rubber around the cab and side windows. It pairs naturally with Hoki 2500 JR Specification cars and Hoki 9500 limestone freight cars to recreate late-period Ome and Nambu Line limestone freight operations.
