Thanks for bogies from @hpgbproductions and display codes from my friends

In 2023, to replace old trains, Northern Galaxy Railway introduced a large number of 6000 series commuter trains. The new trains use a high-strength stainless steel+titanium alloy hybrid body, which is more durable, stronger, and can reduce casualties in accidents. They are also equipped with SIC-VVVF equipment, which has high acceleration and deceleration performance and maximum speed, suitable for operation on urban commuter railways, subway lines, suburban and rural lines, and saves 20% of electricity consumption compared to old models of trains. In addition, accessible facilities and charging sockets have been installed, and trains in the suburbs are equipped with toilets, horizontal seats, and WIFI, providing passengers with a high-quality riding experience

The train adopts a 1:1 layout of motor bogies and trailer bogies, divided into three types of carriages: A, B, and C. Carriage A has a cab, and the bogie near the connection is equipped with a motor; Car B is equipped with two double arm pantographs, and both bogies have motors; Car C is a trailer. The formation of a 4-car train is A1-B1-C1-C2-A2, 6-car is A1-B1-C1-C2-B2-A1, and 8-car is A1-B1-C1-C2-B3-B3-A2.

    @hpgbproductions Thank you for your valuable feedback!For potential issues, it may be possible to supplement them with fictional settings to improve them。
    -The number of train doors is indeed quite large for rural routes, so perhaps the settings can be supplemented, for example, there are door opening and closing buttons next to each door, and the train conductor can choose to open or only unlock the doors when stopping, just like the suburban trains of E231 or E233。
    -The limited variety of train carriages not only facilitates construction, but also allows for flexible changes in train formation length (although this can easily lead to confusion in train numbers, so Northern Galaxy Railway Company currently does not have this operation). All trains have the same unit type (B+C) in the middle, and the leading car also has all the equipment of the C car, so theoretically it can also produce a formation of 3 cars.
    -Decades later, with the introduction of new vehicles, Northern Galaxy Railway also shortened some of its trains and added driver's cabins to some of the removed units, turning them into independent two car trains (similar to the 103 series on the JR Kagogawa Line)

    I like the paint. However, I can't run it on my PC, so I can't say anything about the handling (it may be affected by lag).
    .
    Minor complaints with lore I guess:
    - Needs of speed and acceleration depend on the line, but generally, urban lines have more acceleration demands.
    - Number of doors depends on station foot traffic. Since this train has 4 openings per side, it probably won't appear on rural lines. But of course, it can if the line has a mix of densities.
    - The train formations seem to be too funky. Typically, a train with X motor(M) cars and Y trailer(T) cars will have operational units of X+Y cars long, meaning that the X+Y cars form a complete electrical system. This simplifies the logistics of construction.
    - A 1M1T-style formation splits the pantograph, motors, batteries, and control circuitry across 2 cars. Then, you can choose the cab to be on motor or trailer cars only, so you effectively only manufacture 3 kinds of cars: M, T, and (Mc or Tc).
