Third-class coach at the time of the opening of the Osaka-Kobe Railway (Type AN coach)

May 2024 will mark the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Osaka-Kobe railroad line. To commemorate this anniversary, I have recreated a third-class coach that was used at that time.

The Type AN was a four-wheeled third-class coach imported from U.K. and used at the time of the opening of the Osaka-Kobe Railroad. The Type AN coaches were used until around 1907, with changes made to the car numbers, buffer lengths, capacity, and so on. Some of them were remodeled to have larger bodies and became the type 1005 coaches. It is also believed that there were both single-roof and double-roofed coaches of this type AN.

~MOD Contents~
A total of 14 types of passenger cars will be added, 7 types each of single roof and double roof, reproducing the differences in paint, etc. depending on the era. These coaches will be added as variations of the [Type AN coach] and [Type AN coach (double roof)]. Below is a list of [Type AN coach] variations and the year of appearance. 7 variations of the double-roof type will be added in the same way.

～Caution～
○There are many unknowns about Japanese vehicles of Meiji era. So, I have made my own guesses about the dimensions, colors, and other unknowns. Therefore, the dimensions and shape may differ from the actual car, and some parts may not be reproduced. The maximum speed of the vehicles in this mod is the mod creator's guess.
○When installing the mod, please make sure that it works on your own PC and install it at your own risk.
Please understand the above in advance.
