"textContent": "Hi nemethv, couple of remarks on the release:\n\n\n * > Moved all \"powered\" generic coaches to be actually electric. They can't run on non-electrified tracks anymore.\n\n\nThis is not actually a good idea because it prevents adding extra power unit wagons to DMUs. It's not completely impossible to have more than 2 power cars, e.g. with the JR 2700 series can have 2 or 3 cars, and all of them are powered with an underfloor diesel engine. With your change, it's not possible to create that with the DMUs in the set anymore.\n * The \"Katanga Mikado 2-8-2\" belongs to Democratic Congo, not South Africa.\n * The \"Amsterdam CAF 90\" metro should be assigned to metro tracks and not electrified tracks like currently.\n * The \"flag\" badge should be named \"Country\", not \"Flag\" (otherwise it's a bit weird in the menu selection where it says \"Any Flag\" rather than \"Any Country\").\n * The palette for the different badges is invalid: most of the pixels are animated because I think you generated them using the palette colors for sea animations so it looks a bit weird. The badges for the propulsion modes also have a blue outline which should be transparency but propably didn't get removed correctly because of anti-aliasing.\n * I wouldn't use the USSR and GDR flags for Soviet & East-German trains; the whole set was designed to always use the \"current\" country for each engine rather than the one \"at the time\"; this also avoids some geopolitical issues as well as avoiding some sensitive periods (e.g. by having all German trains as DB rather than some as Reischbahn). Doing this opens a can of worm in opinion.\n * To mark the electric modes of engines you can use badge subclasses (e.g. \"power/electric/ac/15kv\") which allows having menu categories and therefore does not require adding more text to the purchase menu, which may get cluttered.\n * If you wanna use the proper accents for Austrian/Czech/Turkish trains, then you can also fix \"NOLB 1-3\" which should be \"NÖLB 1-3\"\n\nAlso, if you want to work on adding/changing things, I'd recommend having a look at FRAX cargo classes. In the 2ccNML set there are quite a few wagons that are interchangeable and do not add much, but with FRAX it could be possible to make them more specialized. In addition, this would also fix issues with some wagons not being compatible with certain extended cargos (e.g. Tanker wagons not allowing Chlorine from Axis).\n\nCheers!\n\nStatistics: Posted by althonos — 14 Apr 2026 16:51\n\n* * *",
