Train Depot Graphics question

Hey all,

I've got a question about train depot graphics. at this point in time is it possible to have separate depots for standard rail and electrified rail? With work ongoing on the Finnish Trainset, I'd like to have old style depots available at the beginning, but I don't want them replaced with new style depots on a reload, I'd like a newer style to compliment the old one so the two could theoretically ube used side-by side. 3 eras would be ideal but not mandatory.

I hope this makes sense... Is this even possible?

Different graphics for electrified depots and not-electrified depots would need new sprites in openttd.GRF file. And these new sprites must be enabled by developers.

I think that It is a interesting idea. Also, It would be interesting to have crossings with signals and barriers in four different sprites (and four more for closed state). The two first HQs needs three not-ground sprites. This would be interesting if someone wants draw a new HQ taller than the original HQs. Docks needs two new sprites....

OpenTTD developers should add more sprites in the game. This would allow more freedom for artists when drawing graphics.

It would be interesting a new tread in suggestions with all of these requests.
