Japanese Government Railways Class 5680 Steam Locomotive

Class 5680 steam locomotive was a tender steam locomotive with a 4-4-0 (2B) axle arrangement built at the Kobe factory. This is one of a class of locomotives built under the direction of R.F. Trevithick, including the 860 class steam locomotives, which were built at the Kobe factory during the Meiji era. A total of four locomotives were built, and a joy valve gear was used for the valve gear. The locomotive type at the time of manufacture was the Class AJ, numbered 170-173, and later became the Class D7 with the same numbering. At the end of the Meiji era, the class was changed to Class 5680, and the numbers were 5680-5683. They were operated on the Chuo West Line during the Meiji era, and on the Sobu Line during the Taisho era, and were scrapped and dismantled in 1922.

~MOD Contents~
This mod will add 8 different steam locomotives, each with different period paint and signs. All of these will be added as variations of the [JGR Class 5680]. The nighttime signs were used on sections with tunnels longer than half a mile (about 800 meters), even during the daytime. The nighttime variant is intended for use in such sections.

～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 performance of this vehicle is a guess by the mod creator.
○Currently, the locomotive running sound and the steam whistle in this mod use vanilla sounds.
○The width of the locomotive is wider than the original size for the convenience of adapting the vehicle for the 1067mm gauge to the gauge in the game. (As for the length, height, and boiler diameter, I aimed to create a model that is almost the original size.) Some parts of the model have been omitted.
○To avoid complicating the mod too much, I have not reproduced all of the front and rear signs. As for locomotives before 1900, only two types for regular passenger trains are reproduced. Also, the Class AJ variant has been omitted for the same reason.
○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.
