●The 273 series began operation in April 2024 as a new type of vehicle for the "Yakumo" limited express train that runs between Okayama and Izumo City. It is characterized by its body color called "Yakumo Bronze," which is based on the concept of "a body that resonates with the scenery of the San'in and Hakubi lines and stands out in nature," and the adoption of the latest "natural pendulum system with on-board control" to improve ride comfort. Of the 11 trains, both leading cars of the 1st to 6th and 11th trains have through doors on the front, but the 7th and 9th trains, Kumoha 272, and the 8th and 10th trains, Kumoha 273, have a non-through structure. Normally, it is operated as a 4-car train, but when there are many passengers, it is operated as an 8-car train by coupling two trains together.
Main Features
② The distinctive "Yakumo Bronze" body paint color and ivory around the windows and brown roof and skirt are reproduced.
③ A front door (open) part is included that allows you to reproduce two formations coupled together (1 for the 4-car set, 2 for the 8-car set).
④ The 4-car set is a "Best Selection" package that is easy to recommend to beginners. The 8-car set is a special package.
⑤ The 4-car set is a formation in which the leading cars at both ends are equipped with through doors. The 8-car set is a prototype with leading cars at both ends not equipped with through doors.
⑥ End markings, safety device markings (P/S), and door cock markings are printed.
⑦ Each car uses a body-mounted close-coupling coupler without a hook.
⑧ A slotless motor is used to achieve smooth and quiet running.
⑨ Equipped with KATO's unique car body pendulum mechanism that reproduces the car body tilting inward when passing through curves, just like the real thing.
⑩ DCC friendly.
