Japanese Government Railways Hohafu7510 , Hohafu7511(7511~7514)

Around 1897, bogie coaches with open decks at both ends and aisles for moving to neighboring coaches began to appear on the Japanese Government Railways. Since there are so many types of these coaches with open decks built around 1897~1907, I plan to publish several types of coaches at once in several mods. This mod is the second one. Two types (Hohafu7510 and Hohafu7511) of the type 7510 coaches will be treated. (In addition, I will add some types of coaches after modification in the future, but I have not yet decided on a specific date.)

The following is a brief description of Hohafu7510 and Hohafu7511.
○Hohafu7511 (7511~7514) Type 7510
Third class bogie brake coach manufactured at the Shimbashi factory. The seats are booth seats. In the early days, there was no conductor's compartment, and conductor's facilities such as hand brakes were located in a corner of the coach. In the Taisho era (1912-1926), it was converted to the type7480 and remodeled with a conductor's compartment, seats, window layout, etc. In the late Taisho era, it was converted to a third-class mail brake coach.
○Hohafu7510 Type 7510
Third class bogie brake coach manufactured at the Shimbashi factory. This group consists of only one car, Hohafu7510. The interior structure and vehicle history are almost the same as that of Hohafu7511. However, the roof structure and side shape of the car resembles the coach of the previous generation, such as Hoha6510 and Hoiro5150, reminding us that this coach is in the process of transitioning to the next generation of coaches.

~Mod Contents~
A total of 16 variations of coaches will be added, 8 each of Hohafu7510 and Hohafu7511, with differences in paint and signs depending on the era. Below is a list of the Hohafu7510 variations to be added. The Hohafu7511 will have the same variations. Buhabo20 and Buhabo16 are not the type name, but the car number of the coach to be added in this mod as the carriage name. The nighttime signs were used on sections with tunnels longer than half a mile (about 800 m) even during the day, for example. The nighttime variant is intended for use in such sections. The Taisho era variant is also being added to this mod on a trial basis, but variations from the late Meiji to early Taisho era will appear up to the year before the coach modification (post-modification additions are yet to be determined).

～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 coaches in this mod is the mod creator's guess.
○The inverted version has not been produced since the inversion is now available as a standard feature of the game. In addition, the front signs and the rear signs for when an auxiliary locomotive is connected, temporary trains, etc., have been omitted to make the mod easier to understand.
○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.
