Twelve locomotives were produced for the JGR, with AEG producing the electrical equipment for the locomotives and Maschinenfabrik Esslingen (ME) the mechanical equipment. The locomotives, initially named the Class 10000, were put into service on 11 May 1912 with the electrification of the Shinetsu Main Line; prior to this, trial runs were conducted with guidance from engineers from both AEG and Esslingen.The locomotives were stationed at the Yokogawa Depot (now the Usui Pass Railway Heritage Park). They were operated most commonly between Yokogawa and Karuizawa, with additional efforts over time made to increase passenger capacity. The class was renamed to the Class EC40 with a rule enacted in October 1928 to standardize locomotive naming. The EC40s were replaced by the Class ED42 locomotives in 1931 due to increased failures in equipment. All locomotives were taken out of service by April 1936. After being taken out of service, the Keifuku Electric Railway bought EC40 1 and 2, renaming them the Class TeKi 511 and numbered 511 and 512. Modifications to both locomotives were performed at Ōmiya Works, such as the removal of the rack system and changing to a trolley pole system as opposed to a pantograph. TeKi 511 was used until 1953 and TeKi 512 until 1970.One EC40 has been preserved; EC40 1, formerly numbered TeKi 511 and 10000, is located at the Karuizawa Station Memorial Hall. EC40 1 was taken out of service as TeKi 511 in 1953 and returned to the JNR in 1953, with JNR restoring the locomotive at the Ōmiya Works back to its original condition during the Meiji era. It is displayed with its original number, 10000.【Item Details】・N/1:150 Scale・For 9 mm Gauge Tracks・Special Limited Edition・Factory-Built・Factory-Painted・New in Box w/Original Box・Grade: C-10 Mint-Brand New・Year Manufactured: 2021 ShippingShipping Approximate DayShipping for The U.S.A , CanadaEurope , Asia , AustraliaApproximate 1 week – 2 weeksWe use Japan Post, FedEx, DHLWith insurance and tracking numberWe pack your items carefully and firmly and deliver them quickly ！！Please be sure to read before making a payment！！・Your purchase is deemed to have been made after you have read through this item summary, delivery method, customs duties, legal description, etc.・Please note that any address not registered in eBay is not acceptable to ship.・We can only ship to the address that we confirmed by eBay.・For Expedited Shipping to North America (Canada, etc.), you may be required to pay an out-of-region shipping fee separate from the shipping fee in certain regions.・Exact delivery times may be delayed due to some reasons such as custom procedures.・For some countries, tracking service is not available.・Instructions and product packages are written in Japanese.
