A decent steam train costs 30.000 euros/year to run (1940's), while later on there are (good, powerfull) trains that run with 5000-10000 euros/year. Some are even "new steam trains". Why does this happen?

edit: the "new steam trains" appear to be electric trains with steam train icons

Steam train icons? What game are you playing?

Running costs were altered in r3484 & r3488, so it works in 0.4.5...

Ukrs is United Kingdom Renewal Set(the very reason it's posted in graphics), not plain ottd. I think i understand one thing now, steam and diesel is expensive and electric cheaper which would make sense in ttd-patch (electric rails being expensive). I'm running 0.4.5. The BR 103 train has an icon resembling a steam train, it is labeled electric.

Do you mean TempSet, DBSet or DBSetXL?
