Pocket Line ED17

Description
Type ED17 japanese electric locomotive as renditioned by Cosmic's Old Style Electric Locomotive Set. The length is shortened compared to the prototype, which makes it familiar to the B Train Shorty line-up - cute and perfect for small, narrow layouts!

It has been modelled to look like it is using Kato Pocket Line Power Units for traction. The model is quite simplistic in terms of detail, as I have been trying to mimic the original plastic kit that Cosmic produced.

Features:
• Animated pantographs
• Headlights and cablight
• Distant LOD model

Awesome, just like your other shorty rolling stock and layout! Love that somebody is creating such content!

If you're looking for inspiration on more rolling stock that might be missing for shorty layouts, or Japanese micro layouts:

1) As of mid 2025, there's no working Japanese diesel shunter shorty for Rolling Line! One resembling Micro Ace's C Type shunters would be great I think. My personal favorite would be the cute A9244 with the funny air tanks on the roof.

2) There's none of the many Japanese rail bus models out there for Rolling Line either, even though they're a total staple of every irl Japanese micro layout... How about a Haimo 180, which are actually based on buses but don't look silly? One like those with a full width driver cab instead of the typical walk-through front ends would be nice, since the gap for the latter can be nicely filled by just coupling two of your EMU shorty end cabs together.

Keep up the great work!
