Callback on reversing train
Would it be possible to add a callback
that is called if a train changes direction,
e.g. at the end of the track or turning at stations and using the
"reverse train" button?
This is less then the "reversing trains" in the todo, but would allow recoloring trains, that have appropriate grf files.

Sorry, I don´t see the benefits at all? I think this proposal was aimed at the implementation of "driving trailers" but checking only if a train has been reversed the real engine would still be in front of the train and not at the end, i.e. the "engine" wouldn´t show effects but the driving trailer would.

Wow!!!! Awesome!!!
I assume the locomotive has to be at the head of the train? Otherwise this could lead to something quite common in the days of British Steam - The Push-Pull Services. A locomotive would be placed in the middle of the train and would both push and pull carriages and wagons - often, in a mixed service of both carriages and wagons, the carriages would go behind the locomotive, while the wagons went in front.
Obviously I'm not saying you must do this, or you must do that. I know that even the pix still show a design and test stage.
And, bloody hell, they look cracking! Very realistic!

That's impossible. You can't do that!

To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

I'll have to point this out in the Japanset.

Well, let´s talk about Josef Drexler in the first place.

True.

The "push-pull" feature would need to be integrated into the patch itself which then takes considerations of all those special cases.
> But still... *considers allowing push-pull for certain locomotives in the UKRS*
ATM, there are still a couple of bugs but I think I´ll include one or two engines using this feature as it is now into the DBXL. (Luckily, real push-pull service was pretty uncommon before WW2 in Germany and even in the DB era there was only a handful of locomotives used for this kind of service.)
O/c, something like this

would need the full patch feature.A locomotive would be placed in the middle of the train and would both push and pull carriages and wagons - often, in a mixed service of both carriages and wagons, the carriages would go behind the locomotive, while the wagons went in front.

Limiting it to particular locomotives, and passenger/mail carriages only, might just work out with variable graphics...michael blunck wrote:> And it will still switch any vehicles in between the first and last, so

It's not real common in any case, is it? Even less so that ordinary push/pull services.

Mmh?
As Pikka already pointed out, "limiting it to particular locomotives and passenger/mail carriages only might just work out for the moment".
Moreover, for the special case of the DBXL I really wouldn´t need much more because existing push-pull services ("Wendezüge") have been restricted to a handful of different types of locomotives and carriages (although nearly all of the existing engines have been able to travel backwards as well).
And as I pointed out above, to have TTD´s "real" engine in any position inside a consist would be a different kettle of fish. This would be indeed very much harder to implement.
Here´s another one, a BR141 with "silverfish" coaches and cab car, a combination which has been used throughout the 60s and 70s in Germany:
