381 Series "Yuttari Yakumo" 7-Car Set
The "Yuttari Yakumo" was a limited express train that ran between Okayama and Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture. It
was notable as the last JNR limited express train in regular service, retiring in June 2024 as it passed its duties to the new
273 series trains. In its later years, the train's bogies were painted gray, and car Ku 381-139 had its underfloor
equipment painted gray as well.
◆This set includes car Sa 381-223, which has a different window arrangement and number of ventilators compared to
other cars. You can enjoy creating various formations, from a four-car set for off-peak periods to a seven-car set with
additional cars for expansion.
