Fixes

Train easy duplication

Hello respected community!


just a small heads-up for today. I just wanted to share one of new features prepared for you together with 4th era update:

Duplication of trains!

(either stopped in a depot, or moving outside).

It shows you the overall cost and sum of all wagons. When you have enough tokens, you can duplicate any train (and its routelist) by a simple click ;) Finally...

Stay tuned, I will share some more info soon.

Best,
Jan
