That, and for blue Class 72, this Google image search might be a help

...but is there really a demand for the livery that was only used on this very minor 8km side line, and not other liveries? *shrugs*

I could draw some out I suppose? Any other pics to utilise?

Well, i found this youtube video entirely in japanese and has lots of the light blue train in it. (It is filmed on the Toyamako line in Toyama)

It's very distinctly possible to paint, that's for sure. But at the moment I'm not sure what the go is regarding future additions on the set?

But I'll get started on it shortly.

There's a small glitch with the 115 Series ETZ; when running on diagonal tracks, and zoomed-out (2x or 4x), one (or more, if long enough) of its waggons will be oddly misplaced.

No idea what causes this, but it doesn't seem to happen with similar trains (well, I didn't check all of them).

I have an issue here with 485 series EMU.
The last car seems to have its front and back reversed as shown in the picture.
I don't know if this is a known bug/glitch however, I'll post this here for reference.

I had noted that too back in my May post. Hopefully some resolutions to that soon. Still playing religiously in the meantime!

Is there original source code available for download somewhere? I'm interested in the buildings set.

Maybe I missed a memo somewhere but I think the Japan set is still done in NFO

[adf88]

Anything better then what I can get from decompiling will be appreciated.

[Pyoro]

It's supposed to be GPL iirc, so it better be available

Should be it. Other Japan GRFs are there, too.

etc.

When I was looking after it I was using GRFMaker, I don't know what future maintainers used but I'm guessing they were using NFO. I had converted NABS from GRFMaker to NFO while I was active but I don't remember what happened to JPSet buildings.

Comments, formatting - marvelous! Thanks!

Bit stuck on what I should be trying to draw next. Thinking of the following:

*E353 - replaces E351, yet to be in public service. 2017.
*JR Hokkaido 261/283 variants. Original 1990s plus 2016 refit.
*E655 - Royal Train. 2012 or thereabouts.
*DD200 - replaces DE10, so fresh out of the factory you can smell the paint. Literally Hybrid without the hybrid. 2018?
*EH800

The Koploper-style units are bloody hard to draw nicely, so will try my best and have a go at least.

DD200 is probably the most practical to have in game.

Interestingly, has a drop in horsepower compared to DE10. I think tractive effort would be the same or so, as it is diesel electric over diesel hydraulic.

I tend to just plow through what ever I need to draw or code, though sometimes I might do it in order of least interesting to most interesting, kind of like doing the hard work first so everything after is a breeze.

Unlike some people, drawing sprites is a pain for me. I just spent 2 hours drawing a Bombardier M7 Railcar for the NARS Add-on and next I have to draw a Kawasaki M8.

Problem with Shinkansen.

I chose don't change rail traffic at all (means Shinkansen running on the monorail) in the parameters and there is a Odakyu engine available in the monorail depot.
What happened?

This is a quirk on the coding side of things.
The Japan Set Track provides narrow gauge, standard gauge and shinkansen rails. Both the Odakyu engine and the Shinkansen are available on standard gauge. It is common practice for rail sets to override the monorail set, so the standard gauge trains (which include the shinkansen) were set to be available on monorail if nothing else was available, just so narrow gauge and standard gauge trains would be separated. However, if the Japan Set Track is available, you can in fact have monorail trains on monorails.
The side effect of this is that if you only have the Japan Set Trains and the Japan Set Trains addon, you'd get shinkansen and odakyu trains on monorail. This is normal and not a bug.

I hope this helped.

Odakyu is narrow gauge, isn't it?
