Series 35-400 Steam Locomotive Train “Yamaguchi”
Steam Locomotive train “Yamaguchi” is a special rapid train operated by JR West Japan between Shin-yamaguchi and Tsuwano in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Series 35-4000 passenger train emerged in 2017 to replace the predecessor series 12 “Yamaguchi”. Series 35-4000 is a brand new train made by using the latest technology, but it looks just like an old-timer passenger-car train of the heydays. It attracts people’s attention as a distinctive train combining the retrospective appearance and comfortable interiors.
A scale model train combining the tractor steam locomotive D51-200 and Series 35-4000 passenger cars in a set is planned for the release in August as a specially planned item in a sleeve with the picture of “Yamaguchi”. Following this, the steam locomotive D51-200 as a single unit and separately sold series 35-4000 passenger car set will both be released in September.
