🎯 Overview
The Company category covers two train-related masters: train classes (Local / Express / Limited Express) and train types (the actual rolling stock, such as a "0 series"). Each train in the train list (under the Operation category) refers to both, so it pays to set these up first.
Open the Company category in the left sidebar. There are two sub-modes:
- Train Class — labels and colors for "Local", "Express", "Limited Express", etc. used on the departure board and diagram
- Train Type — specs (series, car count) and on-map icon for a single train consist
🏷 Train Class
Train Class defines the label and associated color for each train category such as "Local", "Express", or "Limited Express". The same class is used on departure board badges and on the diagram line color.
Adding from the default bank
Defining each class from scratch is tedious, so you can add commonly used classes from the default bank in one click. Eight templates are provided — Local (all stops), Local, Rapid, Semi Express, Express, Liner, Limited Express, Out of Service — each with sensible colors, short names, and audio file names already filled in.
- Pick a class you want from the "Add from defaults" section
- Click Add to register a new row in the master
- Adjust the display name and colors afterward if you like
Main fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Internal identifier (e.g. local, express) |
| Display name | Shown on the departure board and diagram (e.g. Local, Express) |
| Short name | Used in compact spots where the full name does not fit |
| Badge colors | Background and text color of the departure board badge |
| Diagram color | Color of the line on the diagram (kept separate from the badge color so dark badges do not vanish into the diagram background) |
🚆 Train Type
Train Type defines the physical spec of a single train consist (series name, number of cars, total length) and the icon shown on the map. Two trains can share the same "Express" class but use different train types if they run on different rolling stock (e.g. 0 series vs. 10 series).
Main fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Internal identifier. Alphanumeric is recommended (e.g. e233_3000) |
| Nickname | Human-readable name. You can put whatever helps identify it — series, sub-series, body color, etc. (e.g. 0 series, 10 series, 20 series (red)). This is what shows up when picking a type from the train list |
| Cars | Number of cars in the consist (e.g. 10) |
| Length | Total length in meters |
| Icon | The image used to represent the train on the map |
Picking an icon
Icons are picked from the official icon bank as a "shape × color" combination. Several shapes are provided (commuter, suburban, express, etc.) and each has multiple color variants (lime, orange, cyan, yellow, green, and so on). Pick the shape first, then the color — the combined icon is registered for the train type.
📥 Import (Reuse from Another Map)
When you build several maps for the same line, re-entering the train classes and train types from scratch every time is tedious. Import lets you bring those masters over as-is from another map where they are already defined.
Open it from the Import tab, added to the Company category.
Import flow
- Open the Import tab in the Company category
- Pick the source map from the list (the search box filters by map name or company name)
- Review the details in the overwrite confirmation dialog
- On execute, the data is saved to the company folder automatically and the screen switches to the Train Class master
- Confirm the imported classes and types are now in the list
What gets imported
