●227 series 500 seriesIt began operation in July 2023 as a successor to the JNR-type trains that had been active in the Okayama area until then. The exterior is based on the concept of "colors of abundance and tranquility," which means fertility and gentleness, and is designed to express the rich and mild climate and culture of Okayama and Bingo. The pink color, which symbolizes the areas along the line such as peaches in Okayama, roses in Fukuyama, and cherry blossoms in Onomichi, is used as the symbolic color. It is active in a wide range of areas, including not only the Sanyo Main Line (between Mihara and Himeji) but also the Seto Ohashi Line, Uno Minato Line, and Hakubi Line.

◆A new generation commuter and suburban train that is active in the Okayama area is now available in N gauge. By combining a 3-car set and two 2-car sets, you can recreate a 7-car formation just like the actual train. You can enjoy it together with the 10-1808 115 Series 300 Chugoku Region Color 3-Car Set, the 10-1451/10-1779 381 Series "Yutaka Yakumo", and the 10-1999/2000 273 Series "Yakumo".

 

Main Features

①The L17 train (3-car set) and R12 train (2-car set) made by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and belonging to the Okayama Electric Railway Branch of the Shimonoseki General Rolling Stock Works are commercialized.
②The pink-based exterior and gradient stripe are beautifully reproduced.
③The roof of the leading car without a signal flare is reproduced.
④The lightning arrester is reproduced in a shape seen in recent years. Also, the electric compressor with a different shape from the conventional 227 series is reproduced.
⑤The 3-car set is equipped with a platform status confirmation camera, while the 2-car set is equipped without the platform status confirmation camera.
⑥The fall prevention hood is reproduced with a separate part. Two types are available: one for the leading car that emphasizes appearance, and one for when coupled.
⑦The use of a slotless motor achieves even smoother and quieter running.
⑧The 3-car set has traction tires, and the 2-car set does not have traction tires. The 2-car set has a demagnetizing plate installed.
⑨The head/tail lights are lit (with a switch to turn them off). The headlights are reproduced with white LEDs, and the fog lights are reproduced in orange.
⑩Both coupling parts use body-mounted close coupling (without hooks). Includes a two-stage electric coupler that can be attached to the coupler at the front of the lead car.
⑪ Destination display installed on the front. Includes two types of printed replacements and a blank one.
⑫ DCC friendly
