Series EH10 was the electric locomotive, which was, for the first time, made in Japan with 2 cars coupled up and with 8 driving
wheel axles (H class) in total. Since the locomotive was first manufactured in 1955, 64 pairs were produced in total for
the use on the Tokaido Line and which was fully electrified in 1956. On the line, the locomotive pulled a long line of
freight cars weighing as much as 1,200 tons in all. As a state-of-art model at that time, it had such looks as square
double-car body without deck and inclined front windows. Simply painted all black with yellow lines, The locomotive for a
freight train looked so big and strong as to be nicknamed "Mammoth". Kato has manufactured its scale model once, and
now it's producing it with an update mechanism, 8-wheel axles driven by motor with flywheel, in the remodeled body.
