Comment 13 for bug 1488329

Carlo,

It has been a long time since we interacted about this. Is it possible to remove the stipulation in OR that the locomotive MUST be of a compatible type? In the real world, a water tower would still be operable, even if it had a diesel below it instead of a steam loco. It shouldn't matter what type the player's locomotive is, only that the pickup object is operational. If the pickup were coal, but the locomotive doesn't use coal for fuel, the coal chute would still open and there would be no effect on the player train.

In the case of my scenario on the WP Feather River, the wash rack and wash rack signal should still be operational, even though a diesel loco doesn't use water. You should still be able to see the animation, but it won't have any effect on the player's train.

Just a suggestion.
