Kato 3090-5 N Scale EF66 27 JR Freight Train (Renewed)

The last remaining Japan National Railways (JNR) painted locomotive EF66 27.
●EF66 27 is a model from the second batch of the EF66 0 series. It was the last remaining locomotive from the 0 series
inherited by JR Freight from Japan National Railways (JNR). When it underwent an upgrade in September 2006, it still
retained its original JNR livery. It continued to gain popularity until its withdrawal from regular service in March 2022, and is
now stored at the Suita Locomotive Depot.
◆The EF66 27 with its original JNR livery will be released in N scale. It is well-suited for hauling various freight trains,
including the 〈 #10-1871 "Koki 102+103 'Kangaroo Liner SS60’”〉 that is planned for simultaneous release.
