Rokuhan T038-3 JR EAST EF63 ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE SET

The EF63 electric locomotive was created as a helper for the Shinetsu Main Line between Yokokawa and Karuizawa, which is known for its steep gradient of 66.7‰. Its role ended when the Hokuriku Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Nagano was partially opened in 1997, but it remains popular among railway enthusiasts. Its minimum running radius is very compact at R95.
