Kato 1-301 Electric Locomotive Type EF58 (Large Window/ Blue) (HO Scale)

The EF58 type is a flower-shaped locomotive that remains in the history of Japanese railways. The long and smart “semi-streamlined” body and the front of the two front windows with a straight nose caught the hearts of many fans. 172 cars were manufactured in 1964-1958, and they were active in leading many limited express trains such as the limited express “Tsubame” and the Blue Train, express trains, and luggage trains.
