== Notes ==
* Even long after your engine has been discontinued (=not available for new purchases), you can still renovate it
* If you play with single depot, the train depot area might get really congested if you send some 10+ [[Trains]] to replace all at once. There is usually no such problem with even large volume of [[Road Vehicles]]. Hint: You're not really limited to a single depot, only that all rail depots must be adjacent to each other. (The vehicle depot can be built elsewhere) You are therefore highly recommended to build a "cluster" of depots and use routing to make sure all trains don't try to reach the same one at the same time (they go for the closest one).
* This screen is built on the assumption you will just want to renovate/replace the engine, but otherwise keep everything the same. This is, however, often not the case. If you want to add more cargo cars to take advantage of a more powerful engine, for instance. Or if you otherwise would like to examine your trains once they have reached the depot. In such cases you have to send engines to the depot yourself...
* The game offers only a limited selection of late-era diesels. You will find that for old steam and diesel trains your replacement options are quite limited unless you electrify that part of your line.
