Isn´t this a bit over the top?
Or is it about game balancing?
It´s all about game-balancing, and I´m always striving for better game-balancing. But, setting-up complicated game-balancing schemes will never result in good game-balancing. And with ever more subtle features, game-balancing would neither become easier nor better.

Nice to meet you here, Anders. Get well soon.

I don't suppose you have this code still, a decade later? I'd like to explore continuing the project. :)

There's a fork of OpenTTD on Github owned by 'frosh123', which might bear fruit for you, 2TallTyler.

Karn did a patch on realistic shunting where reversing trains seems to be at work.
Sadly it seems to have been abandoned about 4 years ago.
I checked his source code link and it is still valid.

I got the code from frosch on Discord. Here is the original code and here is my version, rebased to current master.

I took a stab at fixing and completing the project, but am not quite ready for it. Still, thought I'd post it here in case anybody wants it.
