E=electric F=freight. My current fave....the 510.

See, now I didn't know that the "EF" stood for that
Nice collection Geris. You say you have a long way to go for the collection, what are you missing?

just so know my friend F does not stand for freight, it is actually the number of drive wheels, for example F=6 because it is the sixth letter in the alphabet so hence six wheel drive.
that will help explain to you what the letters mean on the EH series and ED series trains, this also carries over to the Diesel freight trains for instance DD series DE series and DF series, This system does not apply to the lettering however on Japanese Steam trains.

Thanks Geri's, that was just off the top of my head.
RE: My favorite Series EF - Super - 04-04-2015
Thanks Geris
Now that you mention this, it sounds like you have stated this before in the forums. So the DE has 5 wheels?

that is what I thought it stood for when I first started collecting too it makes sense but then I saw the EH series and DD series and was what does that mean then, hence my research haha
