Japan Railpack

Description
This pack is intended as a one-stop-shop to build all kinds of track found in Japan. Currently it features standard railways in different gauges and track types. I'm working on expanding it to cover rubber tyred transports, monorails, and maglevs.

762 mm (max. 60 km/h to enable fictional layouts)
- Wooden sleepers
- Street running track

1067 mm (max. 160 km/h for historical layouts)
- Ballastless track
- Concrete sleepers
- Ladder track
- Slab track
- Street running track
- Wooden sleepers

1067 mm system Abt rack tracks (max. 30 km/h)
- Concrete sleepers
- Ladder track

1372 mm (max. 160 km/h to enable fictional layouts)
- Ballastless track
- Concrete sleepers
- Ladder track
- Slab track
- Street running track
- Wooden sleepers

1435 mm (max. 160 km/h)
- Ballastless track
- Concrete sleepers
- Ladder track
- Slab track
- Street running track
- Wooden sleepers
- Linear induction motor ballastless track

1067/1435 mm dual gauge track (max. 160 km/h)
- Concrete sleepers
- Street running track
- Wooden sleepers

Shinkansen track (max. 350 km/h)
- Ballastless track
- Concrete sleepers
- Slab track

Seikan tunnel dual gauge track (max. 260 km/h)
- Ballastless track
- Concrete sleepers
- Slab track

Sapporo Municipal Subway track (max. 70 km/h)
- Namboku line resin tracks (guideway and concrete slab for switches)
- Tōzai line resin tracks (guideway and metal grating for switches)
- Tōzai and Tōhō line steel tracks (guideway and metal grating for switches)

The track cost is increased towards a more realistic figure and depends on gauge, sleeper type, and elevation of the track. Tracks do not interact with roads, allowing steep level crossings. I trust you with that ;).

As a guide, the blue outline of blueprinted tracks indicates the appropriate loading gauge width of 3000 mm for standard lines, 3400 mm for Shinkansen lines, and 2744 mm for rural lines (762 mm). Special tracks may have different loading gauges.

There are invisible tracks for dual gauge/planning/etc. purposes. In blueprint mode they show a dotted version of the selected track gauge.
