This I'd love to see! This is a local line in my area, since I live in Okayama! Particularly, I'd love to see the 381-series portrayed in the game, though I really think it's beyond DTG's capability to get anything of the train captured. Not only is the route and its rolling stock far in the east, out of the main 3, and behind a JR West license, the 381-series was just decommissioned from service in the late spring of this year; they were the last JNR-era express trains still in revenue service before being finally replaced by the 273-series. It was a bittersweet day here in Okayama among railfans when that happened.
Great suggestion. Love Japanese routes but sadly seems with just UW working on the region and still finishing up Tadami it could be a ,long wait, unless DTG start building themselves or find another associate.
