This Toshiba-manufactured EF15 standard locomotive (No. 46-129), characterized by its seven side windows, monitor roof, PS14 pantograph, and plate-type license plate, is a model produced during the Takasaki No. 2 Locomotive Depot era around 1978.
The EF15's distinctive deck details, such as the diagonally positioned underdeck support springs and suspension links, are realistically reproduced.
The driver's cab is recreated (control panel, chair, and see-through interior).
