I am finally waiting for the Osaka Series.

Its look like a suburban train, but as monorail.

Damn 😅
Metro Sim Beta is a really great game.

"Evening shuttle": In this scenario, a short shuttle service runs between Dobutsuen (the Monkey park entrance) to Naritasan in the evening hours. Just to bring people to the carpark there. No further service to the train station at Inuyamayuen.

"Train 2009" is the train with the updated interior, but the external livery back to the original colors. I called it "2009" because according to the Japanese Wikipedia page on the line (translated using Google Translate), this repaint was done after the line closed:
Wikipedia wrote:The lead car, No. 101, and the middle car, No. 201, were restored to their original livery and have been preserved and exhibited at Dobutsuen Station since March 19, 2009.
Note; the other end lead car, No. 102, was also restored to the original livery. It is now on display on the terrain of the factory which originally build it:

Also, I think it would make a little sense to add Japanese signs to the DRIM.

They cannot do that..... They would need to find a model and make it function...

Go ahead and give it a good try. :D
The signs in Japanese (Kanji) are (in the same order):
  • 東京大通り
  • シティパーク
  • 品山吹雪駅

Fulfilled the wish. I had to use a online text to image. No room to fit the last one, so I put it over the sign, might do the same for the other DRIM pngs. Because, maybe I could make the fixes to the DRIM myself.

I'll get back on the DRIM issue later ;)

Right now I'm looking at the train. I have build in the passenger interior (including the add signs along the ceiling, which will be available for placing your own adds there), and now I'm focussing on the cabview and the train control system.

The driver has a screen in the cab, which can show different kinds of information. In Metrosimulator, I'll use it to show information from the train control system, the time, the destination display, and I am working on having it show the next stop (just like I did in the new generation trains on the Glasgow map). This requires configuring the ATB signals along the route to include this information, and the train being able to interpret this information.
A test between the first and second stop along the line has already been succesful.

The screens inside the train are now functional, and show the current station (traveling to / stopped at; the next station comes up when the train departs from the one that is previously shown) and the destination.

The driver has the same on his screen, but there also the current speedlimit and a digital clock are shown.
