The small print below the composite photograph says:
The Yakumo Express is a limited express train that connects Okayama and the San'in region, and began commercial operation in 1982 with the 381 series, a natural pendulum type vehicle.
In March 2022, the 50th anniversary of the start of operation of the Yakumo Express on the Hakubi Line, it was revived in the nostalgic "JNR color Yakumo" , the "Super Yakumo color" in February 2023, and the "Green Yakumo color" in November 2023, and together with the non-revival "Yukkuri Yakumo color", a total of four past colors are lined up.
It has continued to run through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, but in April 2024, the new 273 series will debut, and the 381 series Yakumo Express will gradually cease operation.
This product reproduces the mixed-color six-car formation that was actually operated in the late 1990s, consisting of three cars in "green Yakumo color," two cars in "JNR color Yakumo," and one car in "Super Yakumo color."
I think Super is right, the 'Super Yakuma Color' is new to Plarail.
