Kato will make a scale model of EF81 Cassiopeia Color in the dedicated color scheme to draw series E26 “Cassiopeia”.

Simultaneously with the start of “Cassiopeia” operation, 3 locomotives EF81 (Nos. 79, 89 and 92) were repainted in the paint scheme dedicated to “Cassiopeia”. It is characterized with yellow, orange and blue color patterns on the white background. They were seen pulling not only “Cassiopeia” but also “North Star”, “Akebono” and freight trains. No. 99 replaced No.89 in 2008 and was called and operated since then as “Cassiopeia” color until EF510 appeared in June, 2010.
