Remove electrification from railtrack.

October 22, 2009, 11:13:07 am

After a question in the Dutch forum:

Does anyone an easy way to remove the electrification from railtrack? The only ways I could think of, is to delete it on every tile, or to remove the whole track en rebuild it. But I would not call that easy...

The original post was mine so let me clarify this.

If I start the game I find it is cheaper to operate a tram between 2 cities but layout the track so I can upgrade to full train operations later.

But at after I switched from trams to trains I have no need for electrical vehicles on that line for quite a while. So I rather get rid of the extra overhead (costs). But it is a pain to do this on tracks of 30 or more tiles. An the occasonal powerline that may cross such a line will be cut as well this way.

So if there is an easier way for this I would love to hear about it.

IIRC a way-objects (such as electrification) removal tool should be in TODO list.

Actually simutrans has this fuction already (it was added some weeks ago). It still needs to be added to the menus (via menuconf.tab) in the various paksets. So if anyone feels like drawing a nice icon for it, I could include it into pak128 at least...
