Prototype Information:
The 227 Series 500 Type began service in July 2023 as the next-generation
successor to older JNR-era trains in the Okayama area. Its design concept,
Hoon no Irodori (Colors of Abundance and Harmony), reflects the region’s
rich natural beauty and calm climate. The signature pink accent symbolizes
iconic local blooms—Okayama peaches, Fukuyama roses, and Onomichi
cherry blossoms—creating a soft yet vibrant image of the region’s
charm.
The 227-500 “Urara” operates not only on the Sanyo Main Line
(between Mihara and Himeji), but also on the Seto-Ohashi
Line, Uno Port Line, and Hakubi Line, making it a versatile and wide-ranging
presence.
This all-in-one N gauge starter set includes the 227 Series 500 “Urara”
train along with everything needed to begin running right out of the
box: track (using KATO’s Unitrack system) and a power pack for
train control. It’s the perfect introduction to model railroading,
with plenty of potential for growth—expand with additional 227
Series cars for a longer consist or add more track to enjoy multi-train
operation with other trains from the region!
