Prototype Information:
Step into a unique chapter of Japan’s railway history with the ED76-0 Late Version JR Freight Test Livery. Introduced in 1988, just after the JNR-to-JR transition, this striking repaint replaced the traditional red with a bold combination of dark and light blue tones accented by white stripes.

Used on both freight and passenger trains—including the legendary Orient Express '88 during its Japan tour—this rare livery marked a short-lived yet iconic moment in JR Freight’s evolution.

This version of the ED76 is a must-have for collectors and layout builders seeking a standout piece with real-world testing significance.

Whether you're drawn to its eye-catching color scheme, its collector rarity, or its role in Kyushu’s electric freight scene, this limited- production locomotive offers strong appeal across display, historical, and custom layout settings.
