  "textContent": ">\n>\n> Agreed with the rationale for picking up the dates. The one thing I'd do is for models that had to be rebuild (e.g. steam engines being reboilered after 30 years and serving 30 more years), then I'd take the date of the overhaul when sensible. In game, that would translate to having to buy a locomotive at the date where it was overhauled in real-life, which \"emulates\" having to perform extensive maintenance.\n>\n> Regarding the list I digged for a couple that were missing:\n>\n>   * CPR Trainmaster: they were short lived, most were scrapped in 1975 (from https://www.railpictures.ca/upload/a-li ... tied-up-at)\n>   * China Railways DF8: the DF8 0001 was sent to a museum in 2010 (from https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/DF8%20t ... tive/71738)\n>   * Budd SPV-2000: these were super unreliable; so if you take the FRA selling them off in 2000 that means a lifetime of 22 years, more than enough IMO\n>\n\n\nI think some of the dates in the grf won't line up -> Basically as I wrote above _at the moment_ there is a minimum age for vehicle types and the \"manual\" dates serve to extend those years if relevant. So for the BUDD because of its type the vehicle life would be 40 years. (intro year before 2000) - thus the 22 yrs wouldn't be hit.\nI feel this is going to be a sticking point. We basically can't override \"only one way\" or \"only the other way\" (ie take all manual dates or take none) because in some cases vehicles were withdrawn very shortly after introduction, so we'd end up with some vehicles with very tiny shelf lives, which then would never be used. So we either re-evaluate the minimums, or we just end up with things like the SPV2000 where they should have a short shelf life, but they won't.\n\nStatistics: Posted by nemethv — 29 May 2026 08:44\n\n* * *",
