Update: Posted a new version in first post that should compile on newer revisions, I havent checked this. I will see if I can get the patch compiled with the MiniIN branch at some time in the next few days.
I know I'm digging this up a bit, but would you consider continuing work on it?
Last week I was getting in some serious game play when I decided to try this patch out. Works great!
But while I was using it, I happened to open of a list of trains that go to a particular station. They were still running old engines so I wanted to just depot those two, and not my entire network. Since the "depot all" button was listed there, I pushed it. But all trains, not just those two, went to the depot.
Would it be possible to change it so that it is sensative to the context of the train list? If the train list is only showing a sub set of trains, only send that sub set to the depot.

Now that's an idea with some useful implications! Even if you're not planning to change your trains at all, a contextual button like that could also be used to render a given station free of trains ready for a station redesign.

Excellent!! Please post any update on the MiniIN thread as well - it would be great to have some finer control over this feature.
Perhaps link into the "Replace Vehicles" screens so that when you click on "Start Replacing", it does "and send to depot" as well. If you have breakdowns off, and "do not visit depots if breakdowns are off", then although the trains are marked for replacing, they never go to depot to do it! This would sort that problem out beautifully.

This should be an option which you can turn on and off. For me i do not want to send all vehicles to depot/hangar. They should wait until they drive/fly by a depot/hangar and then replace themself.
I do not want to know what will happen if you send ~30 planes to one single airport and replace them all. I know there is a small bug that planes which wait over 100 days (default service time) in the hangar, roll out of the hangar, roll onto their loading bay and roll back into hangar immediately.
Maybe you can make it turn on and off for each vehicle type individually.

A diff file that only contains the difference to the current miniIN branch should work best. So he hast not to delete lines which already exists or solve any confilcts caused by them.
I am looking for a way to just send all the trains that go to a particular station or all the trains that are on this particular route to the depot so that I can upgrade them to maglev.
