--------------------------------------------------
There is a standard for Japanese railway companies to build trains with through service possibility and replaceable parts in mind. Trains in Greater Tokyo Area started to have similar interior designs, door layout and length. Besides of livery differences and internal machinery, they all carry passengers roughly the same. Such as most trains are about 18m or 20m long. It's all thanks to standardization.
Although they use different signal systems or electric equipment, I think most metro and commuter trains in Greater Tokyo Area can be simplified into 3 types by their door layout. They are Tokyo Toei Subway styled, Kantō region major private railway styled and JR East E531/E233 styled respectively.
This mod aims to simplify the process of choosing what train mod to subscribe to. Most commuter/metro trains can be represented by this mod and just imagine all trains from this mod are "a set of different trains with similar loading gauge and door positions". Saves your time from choosing what mod to subscribe to and searching it in-game.
If the train accelerates too fast or the top speed is too high, you can adjust the ratio of powered cars or apply a speed limiter. Don't afraid to poke around in the formation menu to see what you can add or subtract.
