The prototype, Electric Locomotive EH200, made its debut as a trial sample in 2001 to succeed the EF64. The EH200 is the second two-body combined H-Class (8 axle drive) new electric locomotive for JR Freight, following the EH500. It is as powerful as double connected EF64, and is actually planned for use on the Chuo, Shin-etsu and Jo-etsu mainlines, where the EF64 was operated. As it runs very fast with the giant body, which is 25 meters long, it is nicknamed "Blue Thunder".
The N scale model is planned for the release in March, 2004.
