EH500 “Kintaro” Freight Locomotive
by Matthew Davis
Even before I moved to Japan, one of my favorite models was the EH500 “Kintaro” freight locomotive. Its bulk and angular profile are all business, but its bright livery and smooth sides give it an unexpected sleekness. But it doesn’t run on the lines I was most interested in modeling, so I never really learned much about it.

More coming soon!
