## The Japanese Train Set

#### A train set for TTDPatch and OpenTTD

#### Developed by TT-Forums members

#### Version 2 beta 3 - December 11 2008

### What is the Japanese Train Set?

It is a vehicle set for Transport Tycoon Deluxe with TTDPatch or OpenTTD, that depicts the railroading equipment of Japan, from interwar steam to the latest Shinkansen bullet trains. The Japanese Train Set starts in the year 1920, the earliest possible year under TTDPatch.

The Japanese Train Set is part of the Japan Set which consists of the following GRF files, available from the Japan Set homepage:

- Japanese Stations
- Japanese Buildings
- Japanese Landscape
- Japanese Town Names
- Japanese Trees
- Japanese Faces
- Japanese Signals
- Japanese Trams

### Why a Japanese Train Set?

The nation of Japan has a unique railroading environment. As one of the most densely populated countries, the passenger rail operations give new meaning to the word "intensive". The Shinjuku station in downtown Tokyo handles over 3,000,000 passengers per day. Because of the enormous number of trains and routes, the Japanese rail operators have decided to make it easier for passengers to tell the trains apart by making physically different train equipment for each route. Thus there is an enormous variety of many different colors, styles, designs, etc. of trains, making for an interesting game if you use them all.

Another peculiarity of Japanese railroading is the heavy predominance of multiple units (MUs). Most rail lines are relatively lightweight, and a locomotive capable of hauling the long trains required for the traffic would be too heavy for the tracks. So instead, the trains are mostly all either DMUs or EMUs.

Although the set (and Japanese railroading) is heavily passenger-oriented, a comprehensive selection of freight equipment is included.

### Who drew the whole set?

The Japanese Train Set was developed by an international team of members of the Transport Tycoon Forums (administered by Owen Rudge) and includes some elements previously developed by others. If you believe your work has been used and you are not properly credited, please post your concern in the development thread for immediate attention. Second-hand complaints will be disregarded; specific complaints with evidence will be rectified as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that the TTD vehicle sprites are very small, and as such there is unavoidable similarity between similar vehicles.
If you wish to comment on the released set, please use the Japanese Train Set released topic; if you want to contribute to development (note that this does not include feature requests) then use the Japan Set development thread.

### What TTD climate is it for?

Japan is mostly temperate, but the northern island of Hokkaido has weather roughly similar to that of Northern Europe or New England. Thus, the Japanese Train Set operates in the Temperate and Arctic climates, with somewhat different trains. Japan does not have rail operations in the tropics (Okinawa island is somewhat tropical, but it is too small for much of a rail system), so the Japanese Train Set does not appear in the Tropical climate.

### How to install the Japanese Train Set

#### TTD Patch

The Japanese Train Set is available in a DOS version ("jptrainsd.grf") and a Windows version ("jptrainsw.grf"). Simply copy the grf file into the "newgrf" folder inside your TTD main folder and add the entry "newgrf/jptrains[d/w].grf" (with the "d" or "w" depending on whether you are using the DOS or Windows version of TTD) to your "newgrf[w].cfg" file.

You will need TTDPatch version 2.5 beta 9 (or higher). This is because there are many new features which are available only since TTDPatch 2.5 beta 9. You can also get the latest nightly build from http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/ if you do not have it already.

#### Open TTD

The Japanese Train Set is available in a DOS version ("jptrainsd.grf") and a Windows version ("jptrainsw.grf"). Which version you need depends on the original TTD files you are using. Simply copy the grf file into the "data" folder inside your OpenTTD folder. To use the Japanese Train Set in a new game, you only have to add it under NewGRF Settings on the title screen.

It is not recommended to add the Japanese Train Set to an existing savegame (unless that savegame was using an older version of the Japanese Train Set already). If you wish to do so anyway, you can activate the Japanese Train Set under NewGRF Settings in the Options menu. Note that this will most likely make your existing trains unusable, since many wagons will be changed into locomotives and vice versa.

If you have an older version of the Japanese Train Set installed ("jpset[w].grf"), removing the old file and adding the new one will make all your old savegames use the new version. (OpenTTD will display a warning upon opening such savegames though).

You will need OpenTTD 0.5.3 (or higher).

### Compatibility with other GRF files

The Japanese Train Set is designed to be used together with the other GRF files in the Japan Set listed above.

Because this set is designed to be used in all available environments and comes with its own freight cars, it cannot coexist with any other train set.

GRF files relating to other vehicles such as ships, road vehicles, and aircraft, as well as stations, will not be affected or harmed by the jptrains[d/w].grf file. However, since the Japanese Train Set overrides the maglev/monorail tracks with Shinkansen tracks, it is incompatible with any grf that changes roads, rail tracks or landscape graphics, except the Japanese Landscape Set. Using the Japanese Train Set together with such GRFs will likely cause more or less severe graphical inconsistencies, but will usually not affect gameplay.

### Recommended settings for TTDPatch

You need to set the following variables in your ttdpatch.cfg file:

- newtrains on - mandatory
- electrifiedrailway on - strongly recommended. Japan's most heavily-trafficked lines are electrified.
- enginespersist off - strongly recommended because there are so many engines following one another that you should not stick to an early choice for many years. The Japanese have long been very aggressive at developing new railway technology.
- freighttrains 5 or freighttrains 3 - strongly recommended - depending on your preference. This is crucial to make freight trains as heavy as they are in real life. Then you will need lots of locomotive power to pull them! For flat terrain you will probably prefer "freighttrains 5" and for extremely mountainous terrain "freighttrains 3" (unless you want a real challenge!).
- multihead 0 - strongly recommended. This is needed to get the original engine specifications, e.g. using multple-engine traction gives you increased power but will not increase speed, as it is in reality.
- gradualloading on - recommended to see gradual loading and unloading of some carriages.
- higherbridges on - recommended to help your freight trains high in the mountains by staying at a constant level.
- mammothtrains on - recommended. It is often necessary to have long trains to handle the large quantities of Japanese passengers.
- largestations on - recommended to get the full benefits from the above.
- signalsontrafficside on - recommended to get the right types of signals. Japanese trains and road vehicles drive on the left, so you should also make that selection in the TTD menu.
- startyear 1921 - recommended, because there are many interesting locomotives (including the steamers) in the early years which youīll miss when starting too late.
- tracktypecostdiff on - recommended. Electrified tracks are more expensive than normal tracks, and Shinkansen tracks even more.
- wagonspeedlimits on - recommended.

You should also enable the "realistic model" of train acceleration to get full benefit from the different engines in the set, i.e. you should include in your ttdpatch.cfg file the lines: (x is for road vehicles and should be set to a value of 0 to 3.)

mountains 333x
curves 333x

#### The Japanese Train Set and vehicle.dat

Because a vehicle.dat file will be loaded by TTD after the names in the jpset[w].grf file have been processed, those custom names will overwrite the setīs engine names. Therefore you should remove or rename an old vehicle.dat file in TTDīs directory or switch "vehicle names" to "default" in game options.

### Recommended settings for OpenTTD

You can change the following settings under Configure Patches on the title screen:

- Construction: Show signals on the drive side: On - recommended to get the right types of signals. Japanese trains and road vehicles drive on the left, so you should also make that selection when starting a new game.
- Vehicles: Enable realistic acceleration for trains: On - recommended. Note that this does not currently affect Shinkansen trains. This will hopefully be fixed in a future version of OpenTTD.
- Vehicles: Enable building very long trains: On - recommended. It is often necessary to have long trains to handle the large quantities of Japanese passengers.
- Vehicles: Disable electric rails: Off - strongly recommended. Japan's most heavily-trafficked lines are electrified.
- Vehicles: Enable wagon speed limits: On - recommended
- Vehicles: Weight multiplier for freight trains: 3-5 - strongly recommended - depending on your preference. This is crucial to make freight trains as heavy as they are in real life. Then you will need lots of locomotive power to pull them! For flat terrain you will probably prefer a value of 5 or even higher and for extremely mountainous terrain a value of 3.
- Stations: Load vehicles gradually: On - recommended to see gradual loading and unloading of some carriages.

### Playing the Japanese Train Set

#### Multiple unit trains

Most Japanese passenger trains from 1950 onwards are multiple unit trains. All cars placed in the train provide motive power just as if they were all locomotives. Thus a long train will have the same performance as a short train. The multiple unit trains are only intended for passenger and mail service (except the M250). Currently, the last car in a multiple unit train should always be a passenger car to get the proper graphics for the rear cab unit.

#### Brake Vans

Japanese freight trains, like British ones, often have a brake van at the rear of the train. On a shorter train, there might be only a brakeman's cabin provided on an otherwise ordinary freight car. The Japanese Train Set offers cabooses for purchase; they carry no cargo, but make the train look correct.

#### The Japanese Train Set and the AI

This set is most useful for those of you who like to play without the rubbish AI. While in reality there are rail lines all over Japan, most of them were better at route design than the AI is. However, it has at least become possible to get the AI to use the right kind of train and track for different sorts of services. So if you do not mind a messy map, the Japanese Train Set can be used with the AI.

#### Shinkansen Trains

The main Japanese rail system is not standard gauge but narrow gauge. The set does not currently alter the rail graphics to reflect this, because it is not really graphically relevant. The normal and electrified trains and tracks in the set operate just as they do in any other set for TTDPatch/OpenTTD.

The Shinkansen bullet train network, however, is standard gauge, and is entirely separate from the rest of the Japanese rail system (except for sharing stations.) To reflect this, the Japanese Train Set uses the maglev (or monorail) track type as the Shinkansen system. The set includes graphics for Shinkansen tracks that look different from monorail, maglev, or normal train track. Shinkansen trains cannot use any other kind of track, nor can any non-Shinkansen trains use Shinkansen tracks. Shinkansen trains do not carry cargo of any kind, just passengers and mail. To fit into TTD gameplay better, the set allows mail cars also to be included in a Shinkansen train. Just as with other multiple unit trains, the last car should always be a passenger car. Shinkansen trains can share a train station with normal trains, by replacing some of the existing tracks in the station with Shinkansen tracks, or by adding additional tracks to the station of the Shinkansen type. Both methods were used when the Shinkansen system was built.

### What vehicles make up the set?

The following tables give the details of each type of locomotive and wagon. Japan uses a wide variety of railroad stock and this set attempts to recreate at least a portion of this.

Wagons can be refitted to the cargos shown in the table above but train refitting is only available at a consist level. Therefore, the refitting list will display all the possible cargos that at least some wagons in the train can be refitted to. If you wish to refit only some wagons to a specific cargo, you should first remove them from the train before carrying out the refitting. Obviously, if one type of wagon in the train cannot be refitted to a certain cargo then it will not be refitted that way if you choose it in the list.

### Tractive Effort

Both TTDPatch and OpenTTD support a much more realistic way of modeling locomotive power than the original TTD, which measured power simply by a horsepower rating. The full horsepower was assumed to be available at all times, and all speeds. In reality, locomotive dynamics are rather more complicated, because steel wheels on steel rails do not offer that much friction and hence traction. The weight of the locomotive that is on the driving wheels has a major influence on the effective ability of the locomotive to transfer its power to the track. It does not matter how much HP a loco has if it is just spinning its wheels because the train is too heavy; and steam locomotives in particular are very subject to this problem.

The tractive effort parameter takes this into consideration. It is displayed in the New Vehicle Purchase window, and has a major effect on vehicle performance. A freight locomotive has to have a fairly large tractive effort in order to get the train started at all. To reach a high speed, a high horsepower is helpful, but the TE is really more important. For passenger trains, which are lighter, the TE is less important and the HP more, because the HP affects the maximum speed the train can reach. TE is particularly important if the train needs to climb mountains, and essential if the train will have to start from a full stop on a mountain. If the train starts up a mountain going at full speed, the momentum it has already acquired will help it up the hill; but if the train has to start up the hill from a dead stop, it is all based on the TE of the loco. That is why some locomotives with very high horsepowers do poorly in freight service, and other with low HP do well.

The Japanese Train Set is designed for realism in both tractive effort and horsepower. Each locomotive has its niche, and to find it, you need to carefully consider the tractive effort as well as the other parameters.

### Future plans

The next version of the Japanese Train Set will contain many additional trains and new liveries and graphics for existing trains. In addition, it will feature more realistic configurations of multiple unit trains, better alignment, push/pull trains, and support for newcargos.

Other suggestions or contributions may be made in the forums.
