multihead problem

i didnt know if is hould post this here or not, but i have found a problem with the way the trains work.

ok, so i bought the APT set a few years back, i had many of them, but i ended up weeding most out, my typical consist is a control(engine) 4-6 cars and another control. now ive come down the line a few years and the train is at a very low reliability and is always broken down, but i cant replace it, becuase its broken down, and i cant add to it, becuase its broken down, and i cant remove it... because its broken down! i can stop it, but hey, one or the other of the control units is always broken down, so i cant get rid of or editing this train in any way! it travels very very slow and makes no money at all, the only solution i have is buy a cheap loco and ram it into the train to wreck it! something has to be done about this rediculous rule!

ok, now that im done ranting, i did wreck the train to get rid of it, but i just wanted to warn anyone who multiheads anything, if one unit breaks down, you cant do anything to the train, even if the other units still work.

Can't you stop it and wait for the breakdowns to be fixed? It shouldn't break down again while it's stopped. Or does it?

A stopped vehicle can't break down. Though if the reliability is low enough it might break down as soon as it's restarted

Just stop the vehicle and wait until it's no longer producing that ugly black smoke...

I had the same problem. If you have multiheaded locomotives low on realibilty its practically impossible to remove them. It took me 15 minutes with a train whose reliability was down to 4% to remove it.

And if vehicles are stopped they still keep breakin down, which is indeed quite a strange feature. Maybe they should fix this in a patch: If trains cannot break down while stopped this "remove multiheaded trains with low reliability"-bug should be solved
