Description

The 323 Series entered service in 2016 for the Osaka Loop Line and Sakurajima Line (JR Yumesaki Line). Its orange body colour reflects the traditional Osaka Loop Line identity, with brown accents giving the train a very distinctive modern look.

This 3-car basic set represents the later type with a straighter front-end shape. It is the powered core of the formation and can be combined with the matching 5-car add-on set.
