JNR ED61 'Grape 2' (Arosa GE4/4 II Livery)

This livery represent JNR's ED61 Bo-Bo DC Electric Locomotive
JNR developed 3 types of DC locomotive (EF58,EF15 and EH10) after WWII and replaced majority of pre war electric locomotive on the mainline.
By the end of 1950s, the pre war locomotive's duty on branch line are also coming to the end as JNR developing their 2nd generation of DC locomotives.
Under the name of 直流新形電気機関車 (DC, New, Electric Locomotives), Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Kisha Seizo developed the ED60 while Hitachi and Toshiba developed the ED61.
ED61 is quite similar to ED60 but equipped with ReGen brake which is the reason I use it as the base.
This version was the pre 1965 JNR Electric Locomotive Livery as 'Tea Brown', officially as 'Grape 2'.
As I'm not really spending much effort on this, a 'Toshiba' was placed on side instead of '東芝'.
