Since its debut in July 1992, the 787 series has been used as various express trains such as ``Tsubame'', ``Ariake'', and ``Relay Tsubame''. Currently, they are located at the Minami Fukuoka Rolling Stock Center and the Oita Rolling Stock Center, and the 6-, 7-, and 8-car train sets are mainly ``Kirameki'', ``Kaio'', ``Magpie'', ``Relay Kamome'', and ``Nichirin'', and 4-car trains. The train is mainly composed of ``Nichirin'', ``Hyuuga'', and ``Kirishima'', and continues to run as the main vehicle of conventional line limited express trains.

The blue-gray running equipment is reproduced in accordance with the actual vehicle, and the destination display stickers include the ``Relay Kamome'' and ``Magpie,'' which will be newly operated with the opening of the West Kyushu Shinkansen in 2023.
