Shinkansen 0 Series First Class Power Car

Lore

The 0 series trains were the first generation Shinkansen trainsets built to run on Japan's Tōkaidō Shinkansen high-speed line which opened in 1964. The trains were powered by overhead catenary lines with all axles of all cars powered by 248 hp traction motors, giving a 220 km/h (137 mph) operation top speed. Production of 0 series units continued from 1963 until 1986. Shinkansen sets are generally retired after fifteen to twenty years. The final remaining 0 series sets were six-car sets used on JR-West Kodama services on the San'yō Shinkansen between Shin-Ōsaka and Hakata, and on the Hakata-Minami Line until their retirement on 30 November 2008 after 44 years of service. A large number of former 0 series vehicles are preserved or stored in museums and various other locations around Japan. -Wikipedia

This model represents a first class Shinkansen coach with a capacity of 78 passengers. This is a "power" car, meaning it has a pantograph for supplying electric current to the traction motors. At least one power car is needed in every trainset for the motors to receive electricity.

I recommend using my Catenary Environment addon for the best experience

Big thanks to Gerunimo, who developed the ATC system, upgraded the interiors of all of the cars, and redid the systems and logic to be much closer to the real life thing.

Make sure to turn off vehicle damage! The cars can clip into the ground, especially at high speeds!
