Witness the Seikan Tunnel's dedicated workhorse with TOMIX's N Gauge ED79-0 Series, now featuring the single-arm pantograph configuration introduced from 2010. This modified ED75 derivative was purpose-built for the continuous gradients and demanding conditions of the undersea crossing, later receiving pantograph updates and side panel modifications.
