Series 381 "Super Kuroshio" (Renewed Composition)
The Series 381 "Super Kuroshio" runs from Osaka to Kishu, and connects to Shingu, on the Kii Peninsula, along the sea. This train debuted in 1973 as a pendulum limited express, speeding up in many curved sections areas. On the Kisei Main Line, "Kuroshio" was deployed for faster speeds. After the transition to JR, the Series 381 changed to have wider seat pitch and three row seats in the called panorama green car and nicknamed "Super Kuroshio“.
After the appearance of the successor, series 283 (from 1998), the seats of all trains have been expanded to three-row seats and paint scheme have been changed to combination of emerald green and creamy-white which bring a refreshing look. In March 2011, the series 283 nickname was unified as "Kuroshio" and was service until 2015. The popular 381 series "Super Kuroshio" is now available as an N-scale model from Kato. You can enjoy viewing the body lean inside on a curve, just like the real train.
Series 323 Osaka Loop Line
Series 323 debuted in 2016 and was active on the Osaka Loop Line and the Sakurajima Line (JR Yumesaki Line), running along with other trains in Kansai area. The exterior features were designed by a combination of a traditional Orange of the Osaka Loop Line and a Brown accent. In May 2018, the location of the mild airconditioned car was updated from Car number 1.2 to Car number2.7. It will be a difference from the current product, so it is a recommended collection for those who already had 323 series.
