@Mike nonsens - auto-reverse is great, much better than looking at trains speeding backwards (with carriage on the front and engine on the back how realistic is that) I hope this function will be impelemented to all cargo trains too

I tried to eliminate the auto-reverse effect with asset editor using ModTools but I din´t found a way. Removing second engine didn´t do the job; can´t remove/replace first engine. Really would love to see the 103 (4-Car) without auto-reverse, maybe you will find the time for that release sometimes.

My german map wouldn´t nearly be the same without all your great DB trains, thanks a lot !

Yea, I will try something with asset editor. Just consider maybe to relase two 4-Car versions for next ones if it´s not too much work. Thanks and keep up your marvelous work!

That's how they work in Transport Fever, didnt hear them complained about it till now. You can remove engine in asset editor I suppose and replace with actual engine. And disable its disappearence.

I'll consider your suggestion for next ones though, keep reversals only for long ones maybe.

Don´t get me wrong, I´m sure lots of people will like the auto-reverse thing, especially to run long passenger trains. So for that it´s a great thing. But isnt´t it also not very realistic to watch a train station and see an engine magically fly from one end of the train to the other end? For me I really would like this train to use it in the short 4-car version the "old fashioned AVO way" on a map with only standard train stations and maybe also to use especially your longer train versions with auto-reverse on a map which is set up for the running of long passenger trains. Only the explanation for my suggestion.

Why tho ? Why do you want to see a second engine behind ? As far as I know you trains do not roll with 2 engine, it's usually 1.

Yes, I get it that you can´t use replace last car with AVO with your auto-reverse-engine trains. That was the reason for my suggestion in the first place to also release a version of this beauty (4cars) without auto-reverse for those who are not that into this innovative new auto-reverse-technique and likes it more to replace last car with engine. If you don´t have the time to do so it´s ok, but maybe you will consider it. Thanks anyway.

I'm using Translate to understand what you write so I'm trying my best to reply. You have both issues because you are replacing last cars with AVO. This, you should not do.

You will NOT replace last car with AVO, because this train does not need that function.

Engines are auto-reverse, so you do not need to do anything, if it was the case, I would have written so. I also tested trains myself and asked others. The problem you mentioned only occurs when you use AVO.

As for lenght issue, it is 4 car + 2 engine. I will not remove cars further to shrink the train set. As seen in the picture it works fine on default train stations.

@REV0:
Tut mir leid, habe das Problem nicht vollständig umschrieben. Problem 1: Man kann mit der AVO-Replace Last Car-Funktion zunächst nach dem ersten spawnen erreichen, dass auch hinten eine Lok dranhängt, aber diese ersetzt nicht den vierten Waggon sondern erscheint zusätzlich, so dass der Zug zu lang ist. Vor allem aber Problem 2: Nach dem rausfahren aus dem nächsten Endbahnhof (da wo ansonsten dein "Reversing Engines" stattfindet) verschwinden dann beide Loks! Es fahren dann also nur vier einsame Waggons ohne Loks wieder aus dem Bahnhof heraus. Zurück bei Endbahnhof 1 erscheinen die beiden Loks beim rausfahren dann wieder und wieder zurück bei Endbahnhof 2 verschwinden die beiden Loks beim rausfahren dann wieder.

@Mike:

I'll see light issue.
As for AVO, you can disable replace car with engine inside the mod. it's not a general setting of AVO so I dont see any issue there.

Die 103 ist dir wieder mal großartig gelungen; ich bleibe ein großer Fan deiner Züge. Die Auto-Reverse Engines-Technik ist zweifellos sehr innovativ, aber vermutlich auch nicht jerdermanns Sache, da sie auch optische Nachteile hat. Und da man bei der 4Cars-Version hier nicht mit AVO die Replace Last Car With Engine-Funktion nutzen kann, ist dann auch diese kurze Version einen Tick zu lang für die Standard-Bahnhöfe. (Und übrigens hat die Reverse Engine auch keine voll funktionierenden Scheinwerfer.) Ich fände es daher schön, wenn du zumindest bei der 4Cars-Version auch noch eine normale Version ohne die Auto-Reverse Engines-Technik einstellen könntest.

Hab die 103 in Stuttgart Hbf gesehen. Die gibt's wirklich als IC.

Dafür wurde sie konzipiert und eingesetzt als Intercity/Eurocity bzw. Schnellzug Lokomotive, wahrscheinlich meinst du eher das du diese Farbkonstellation noch nicht gesehen hast...

okay, very rare

Okay, in all of my years living in germany I've never seen a 103 pulling an intercity
