The Ginza line in Tokyo's subway, for the class 01 subway train. The line goes from Shibuya/G01 to Asakusa/G19. The A1649 alternative that begins at G19 and goes to a lay-up track beyond station G01; the B1649 alternative goes in the opposite direction beginning at the lay-up track. There is also the B1507 alternative that begins also at the lay-up track at G01 and goes to the station Ueno/G16, where the train is taken out of traffic and is driven to the Ueno depot. Very well-made route with a lot of details, soft curves and realistic light conditions.

Misc.:
The following applies when driving from the Ueno station and to the depot: On the track to the depot is a stop sign in the track (white board with a circle in black with a horizontal line through the circle). Stop by that sign and wait until a yellow light in the distance becomes lit indicating that the road crossing protection ahead is activated. In the depot yard a place to stop again is indicated before the lay-up tracks. Finally, stop the train 5 m before the end of the lay-up track, then move the train carefully forward to the indicated stop position.

From April 1 2004 (no April fools' joke) every station in the Tokyo subway has a normal station name in Japanese, but also a number. The number is composed of a western letter and two digits. The letter indicates at which line the station is, the number which station counted from one of the line's terminal stations.

The Ginza line has the letter G and the stations are numbered from 01 till 19, the terminus station Shibuya is station G01 and the other terminus Asakusa is station G19.

This number system was implemented to make it easier for foreigners to ride the subway.

Known problems:
In the beginning of the tunnel between Hikifune and Oshiage is a problem with transparency in the graphics that does not work properly. Openings in the wall to the left of the track are shown as blue.

It can be fixed by replacing the file entlight_a.bmp in the directory Railway\Route\hanzomon\enshin\abtob with a corrected version of entlight_a.bmp

Misc.:
The following applies when driving this route in OpenBVE: In the beginning of alternative C1367S, before departure from the railway station Hikifune at the Tobu Isesaki line, the safety system should be activated with the 8 key so that the indicator light TOB is lit. Also, the train's destination sign at the MFD should be set with the Page Down key to an alternative with 4 green characters in a green frame. When the train has stopped by the platform at next station, Oshiage/Z14 at the subway's Hanzomon line to continue as B1367S, the train's brakes should be set in the emergency brake position and the reverser in neutral position, the safety system should be changed with the 7 key so that the indicator light TRTA is lit, and the train's destination sign at the MFD should be set to an alternative with 2 red characters in a red frame.

From April 1 2004 (no April fools' joke) every station in the Tokyo subway has a normal station name in Japanese, but also a number. The number is composed of a western letter and two digits. The letter indicates at which line the station is, the number which station counted from one of the line's terminal stations.

Hanzomon line has the letter Z and the stations are numbered from 01 till 14, the terminus station Shibuya is station Z01 and the other terminus Oshiage is station Z14.

This number system was implemented to make it easier for foreigners to ride the subway.

Description:
Line 2 in New York's subway (the Brooklyn line with the Flatbush branch line, part of the West Side line with the Brooklyn branch line, and finally the White Plains line, all former IRT), for the subway train class R-142 or class R-36 Redbird.

Known problems:
In OpenBVE there are problems with transparency in the graphics that don't work. It shows as blue lines around the destination signs on the class R-62 trains that appear along the line.

The problems can be fixed by changing in the definition files for those graphic objects. In the directory LegacyContent\Railway\Object\WestsideA\cars are the files r62_1.b3d, r62_3.b3d, r62_4.b3d, r62_5.b3d, r62_7.b3d and r62_9.b3d.

In each of these files the word Transparent followed by three numbers appears at 6 lines. Change in each of these files so the 4 first appearances of the Transparent-instructions are Transparent 0, 0, 255 and the 2 last are Transparent 255, 0, 0.

NYCTA line C

Screen dump of a view from the line
Description:
Line C in New York's subway (8th Avenue line and Fulton Street line, both former IND), for the class R32 Brightliner subway trains. The simulated line starts at a track in the 174th Street Depot at northern Manhattan, from which the train goes to the 168th Street station at Manhattan to start revenue service. Revenue service ends at the Euclid Avenue station in Brooklyn, from which the train is moved off service to a track towards Pitkin Avenue Depot to change direction. Detailed line, both stations and trackside! Soft curves and realistic switches, announcement of all stations and connections.

A facing switch at the exit from station 59th Street/Columbus Circle looks like it leads to the diverting track, but the train is going on the straight track. That can be fixed by editing the route definition file NYCT-C.rw changing the graphic object representing the switch:

At line 20800 there is a lot of code. Change the original file's @freeobj(0,1413,0,0,0) to @freeobj(0,1407,0,0,0) and then save the altered file and you are done.

Sagami line

Screen dump of a view from the line
Description:
A part of the Sagami line (JR East) for the class 35 DMU. The simulation is of a local train from Nishisamukawa to Chigasaki some time back in the 1970s. At that time the branch line between Nishisamukawa and Samukawa was still open for traffic (it was closed in 1984) and the Sagami line was not electrified (it was electrified 1989--1991). The line goes through a beautiful agricultural landscape, very different from the densely built area that surrounds the line nowadays. Well-done route with nice graphic objects and realistic switches.

Somerset & Dorset

Screen dump of a view from the line
Description:
A part of the old Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway in southern England. This local train is hauled by a steam engine and goes from Shillingstone to Templecombe (south of Bristol). The correct engine for this train is a Bullied Pacific class West Country steam engine, but in lack of such an engine a class J36 steam engine is used. The railroad, stations and the beautiful landscape is well done. The simulation intends to replicate the route as it looked like in the 1960s. The traffic at this and some other lines ended March 7 1966 after have being trafficked since August 31 1863.

Heavy Coal

Screen dump of a view from the line
Description:
This is something rather unusual in OpenBVE: A freight route. The line is fictitious but the scene is an Australian line through mountainous terrain. The task is to drive 3 000 metric tons freight train with 30 coal-filled hopper cars from the COALEX terminal in Lithgow to its destination in Penrith. The route goes through the Blue Mountains, so there is the problem of pulling the freight uphill and then not to let the train overspeed downhill later on. This BVE simulation is from the year of 2001, but it is still a good freight route.

Minomachi line

Screen dump of a view from the line
Description:
The Minomachi line (Nagoya Railroad Co, Ltd. a.k.a. Meitetsu) was a streetcar line from Seki to Tetsumeicho. The line, which was closed by 2005-Apr-01, was a single track line with the gauge 1067 mm and was electrified (600 V DC). These simulated routes for OpenBVE goes from Shin-Seki to Shin-Gifu and is used with the class 600, 880 or class 800 streetcars. The routes also uses the Tagami line and a small portion of the Kakamigahara line, the later which is electrified with 1 500 V DC. For that reason the streetcars used were equipped to also run on that voltage. This is a well-made route with a lot of details trackside and in the urban environment where this line located.
