In my personal opinion... they look awesome!
Looking forward to seeing them released so I can play around with them!

Very nice with a bit more varied colouration like that.

I appreciate clever coding like this. House sets can be much more advanced than they appear.

Some more research later, we have yet another update.

DPRK Train 1.9 - 24/07/2020
Changelog:
Added: New standard gauge steam locomotive
Added: New standard gauge electric railcar
Added: Livery for EMU
Changed: Standard gauge trains will now respect railway voltages, if provided by a trackset.

Apparently Pyongyang had a tram before the war.
DPRK Trams 1.4 - 20/09/2020
Changelog:
Added: Pre-war trams
Changed: Changed metre gauge tram sprite

It's been a while, and I've added a bunch of stuff for the DPRK trackset. You might want to take a look at the parameters though, as this version can add up to 24 tracktypes, and a has lot of customisation options.

DPRK Tracks 1.2 - 03/10/2020 Changelog:
Added: More narrow gauge railway options
Added: Option to disable more narrow gauge railway options
Added: Dual gauge tracks
Added: Option to disable dual gauge tracks
Added: Urban tracks
Added: Option to disable urban tracks
Added: Custom Tunnel Portals
Added: Option to make all track available from the start.
Added: Option to reduce speed limits to realistic speeds.
Fixed: Minor clipping on metro railtype
Fixed: Japanese narrow gauge trains can now run on narrow gauge tracks (wrong gauge but w/e)

In line with upcoming changes to the house set, the station set will also be redone. Unlike how v1 was made, the dprk station set will be split up in NewGRFs based on theme, instead of having an arbitrary 'add-on'. Up first, DPRK Stations v2 Platforms. Filling up practically all station IDs available right out of the gate, this newgrf is as good as finished. The code has also been cleaned up, making coding faster and more reliable. Stay tuned for more updates.
DPRK Stations v2.0 - Platforms - 05/10/2020
Changelog:
Added: Platform end waypoints
Added: Bidirectional overpasses
Added: Extra buffer stop options
Added: Long platforms, for mid-station switches
Added: Parameters to turn off extra waypoints
Changed: Platform roofs are taller.
Changed: Station signs resprited, and reduced in number

On the topic of more updates.
DPRK Tracks 1.3 - 05/10/2020 Changelog:
Fix: Urban unelectrified depots not selling trains

The next DPRK newgrf to get an upgrade is DPRK trains. Twitter has once again proven a great source of narrow gauge train pictures. By the way also the only source, it seems. I also decided to make the Juche EMU usable however you want, instead of either unrealistically or just not.

DPRK Trains 1.10 - 08/10/2020 Changelog:
Added: New narrow gauge diesel locomotive
Added: Different length EMUs
Added: Option to disable Juche EMU changed to option to make the Juche EMU either as it is used, or as it was meant to be used.
Changed: Name of locomotive and metro train
Changed: Release date of EMU
Changed: Juche EMU sprite tweaked
Changed: Tweaked blue carriage sprite
Changed: Tweaked new narrow gauge electric locomotive sprite
Fix: Alignment of trains looked bad in the vertical direction
Fix: Freight cars of other NewGRFs not connecting properly
Fix: Some locomotives carrying freight
Fix: Brake van too long

Another NewGRF hot off the press. This newGRF contains a large amount of completely useless things to spice up your stations. This NewGRF adds a variety of eyecandy station tiles and waypoints, again using up almost all available IDs. Please note that the trackset will be updated to match the new depot sprites soon(tm). I also added a bunch of stuff that I would've considered excessive for the platforms newgrf, but it's not like I had the IDs available to add it to that NewGRF, mainly in the form of platform end waypoints.
DPRK Stations v2.0 - Eyecandy - 18/10/2020
Changelog:
Added: Wayside objects
Added: Full-platform tiles
Added: Waypoints for platform ends with station signs
Added: Waypoints for platform ends with wayside objects
Added: Depots as station and waypoint tiles
Removed: Walls, and trees

That looks really good!

It's like christmas all over again. Brand new trains? Check. Freight overhaul (again)? Check. Same bugfix twice in a row? Same bugfix twice in a row.
This update for the North Korean Train Set contains just about everything I still wanted to add, but never did. The Korean State media published a small article on a new locomotive earlier this week, so I added that, as well as an EMU I had yet to add. I always wanted to make freight feel like it wasn't just an after thought. I never liked the look of the intermodal wagons, so now I've changed them to be significantly more realistic, based on photographs, instead of just me guessing what kinda containers they'd have. I added a bunch of open wagon types. They're by far the most common type of freight wagon, so only having 1 type seemed rather silly. North Korea still uses a lot of brake vans. To think the only variety I had was really ugly, not really ideal, so I fixed that.
I intend for this to be the last update for the North Korean Train Set. I hope you like it.

It took me over 3 years, but it's finally done. I had a blast making this NewGRF. I hope you've enjoyed playing with this set as much as I've enjoyed making it, and I hope you'll continue to have fun playing.

Fantastic work!

Two questions - how can I get at the trolleybusses? How can I get at the dual-gauge track?

kokutetsu wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020 21:05Two questions - how can I get at the trolleybusses?

Trolleybuses require electrified roads. OpenGFX does not add any, so I recommend downloading a road newgrf like U&RaTT which adds electrified roads.

kokutetsu wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020 21:05How can I get at the dual-gauge track?

Dual gauge tracks are set to appear by default if you have the North Korean track set and narrow gauge trains. What exactly is the problem there?

Quick fix
DPRK Trains 1.11.1 - 27/10/2020 Changelog:
Fixed: Flatcars not displaying steel properly

I changed the DPRK trackset to work better with the Australian bridge set, which has a few bridges that look a lot like North Korean rail bridges. With this the trackset should be just about done.
DPRK Tracks 1.4 - 28/10/2020
Changelog:
Added: Option to replace signals on tracks not from this newgrf with new signals
Added: Option to add only urban 3rd rail tracks
Added: Underground depot for underground metro
Changed: Bridge sprites no longer have ballast
Changed: Tweaked urban ground sprite
Changed: Depots now match the ones in the station set, with blue roofs for urban and modern

Edit:

DPRK Trains 1.11.2 - 29/10/2020
(download redacted to comply with file limit)
Changelog:
Fixed: Chinese mail van release date

Edit:
Trying to tackle these bugs as soon as they get reported. Makes it clear to me that noone bothers to report any, because I've gotten like 3-4 in a week.
DPRK Trains 1.11.3 - 31/10/2020 Changelog:
Fixed: Incompatibility of metro vehicles with some tracksets

tbh I've been waiting for the fixed industries set to play with it because of the issue with the excessive weight of the goods.

I actually can't fix it. When NML updated, industries changed so much that I can't recompile the NewGRF without redoing the entire thing. That basically puts me off doing anything for it.
I've tried some stuff, but even some visual stuff like stockpiles for secondary industries are very different now, so I'd have to figure out how that works. EDIT: I can use a different newgrf to patch it. See below

I'm also redoing DPRK Station Building and Houses. The scale for that will completely different, so the sprites wouldn't match up anyway.
As you can imagine, completely redoing DPRK Industry does not take priority, and might take a while, my apologies for that. That is If I'll end up making it at all.

DPRK Industry v1 Fix Fixes an issue with DPRK industry v1 that made cargoes very heavy.

The latest release of NML (0.5.3) re-introduced the old industry properties specifically to solve this issue. You should be able to update NML and continue with the old industry code

I see. Thanks for the information. I'll keep that in mind when doing the remake of the industry set, should I ever do that.

I figured out how to make the long platforms go the other way. Have fun with this. Please note that I moved one of the long platforms, because the limit is 255 station tiles and not 256.

DPRK Stations v2.1 - Platforms - 07/11/2020 Changelog:
Added: long overlapping stations going the other way
Removed: tall Pyongyang roof moved to Eyecandy
