Which locomotive to pull an Oha 35 set?

[Muller_ivanov]

I bought one of these old kato passanger coaches at my local 2nd hand shop. Was quite wondering what would be the leading train( or train set ) for this?. Was aiming for a C11 setup but I can't find any historical photos with the blue coaches. I mainly do showa era SLs. If it were electric locomotives, does EF65, and EF66 an appropriate choice?. Sure do hope if i could find some brown old coaches too, this would be much more fun, and also some mail/parcel coaches.

That rack seems rather long for a C11.

Without any expertise, in blue, I would say about anything from the JNR era, like ED75, DF50, DD51, EF60. The later you go in the era, the most likely they would be limited to secondary routes.
