    The Nose Electric Railway is a Standard Gauge commuter railway in Hyogo, Japan. Trains are operated between Kawanashi-noseguchi, where the Nose Electric Railway meets the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, and the terminuses of Myokenguchi and Nissei-chuo.
    Overall, this route has 15 stations across 14.8km (9.2 miles) of track.

    As a subsidiary of the Hankyu Electric Railway, the Nose Electric Railway utilises old Hankyu rolling stock that has been withdrawn from service.

    Nose 1700 Series (Former Hankyu 2000 Series and 2100 Series)
    Nine 4-car sets were aquired by the Nose Electric Railway in the early 1990s, however one set was scrapped in 2005 as it was surplus to requirements. Due to a reduction in services, four more sets were scrapped between 2017 and 2019. A further reduction in services and the introduction of the 7200 Series means that two more sets are due to be scrapped at the end of 2022.

    Nose 5100 Series (Former Hankyu 5100 Series)
    Five 4-car sets and two 2-car sets are owned by the Nose Electric Railway.
    Some minor variations exist between sets with regards to destination displays, awning and power sockets for passengers. Trains are otherwise the same.

    Nose 7200 Series (Former Hankyu 6000 Series and 7000 Series)
    Three 4-car sets are operated by the Nose Electric Railway. These were aquired between 2018 and 2021.
    There are some minor differences on 7201 to the other 2 sets in the Nose 7200 Series.

    China, not sure about Japan. But would also be really fun to have some of that kind!

    Well, most of their TSC content was Japan, and the ongoing TSC work that they have been sharing on social media is also of Japanese routes.

    Added to the master list.

    I was not aware of that - haven't watched DtG streams in a long while. In that case you must be right.
