VRE Gallery IV Passenger Car (Standard)

This is a semi-1:1 recreation of a Gallery IV (4) double decker passenger car. This car is intended to be used with my MPI MXpress locomotive, and uses its data transmission standards. In real life, this is a 123 seat, bi-level commuter rail car, manufactured by Sumitoyo / Nippon Sharyo. The railroad that this car serves on, the VRE (Virginia Railway Express) is a commuter railway that serves the Virginia side of the Washington DC metro area.

How to use:
Step 1: Attach both the RED and YELLOW data/power cables to both the vehicle (Locomotive or passenger car/cab car) in front, and behind the car. This should allow the car to both receive power from the locomotive ahead/behind it (It doesn't matter where in the train the locomotive is placed), and be controlled by either the locomotive or cab car. (IMPORTANT: There are electrical cables located on the underside of the train, one accessible from each side.
Step 2: ensure that the car is not broken, and as long as the train is not damaged in any way, it should be ready to go.

Tips for use:
The car lights can only be controlled by the attached locomotive/cab car.
The car doors can be both controlled by the attacked locomotive/cab car, and locally. However, they do not work well at all while moving, and have a tendency to get stuck if you do try to activate them while moving.
The doorways to pass between cars will lock when there is not a car attached, however once the train is connected, you can safely open them and transfer between cars, regardless of whether the train is in motion or not.

While this should be implied, please do not copy.
