Of the type WAMU 80000 covered freight cars designed for pallet transport, units manufactured after 1975 were reclassified into the type 200,000 due to changes such as an increased wheelbase for improved running stability. Many of these cars were inherited by JR and later modified with roller bearing conversions, renumbering to the type 300,000, and repainting to blue. This model reproduces the type 200,000 appearance after JNR privatization, including the widened wheelbase.
