Recovery Depot with teams and equipment

[jjanmarine3]

Hi guys, a suggestion : How about someone organising us a recovery depot with team and equipment like breakdown crane, ( and a steam crane of course ) jacks and the tootie that we can download and call them out by road , rail or ship to come and rerail our mess-ups ?

Especially when Iron Hand McTavish is at the throttle and thinks he can squeeze out a few more miles an hour through those turns...AGAIN

Hi,

Not sure what you had in mind, so just listing a few already available options:
- There is a rerail portal you can add to your route to return derailed material
- You can find a few cranes on the DLS, some even train vehicles, that might be what you are looking for in your session / scenery.

Yeah Thai1on , I have a habit of pushing back through junctions after stopping the driver, meanwhile the junctions have changed back and I did not save because it takes ages ..start over again.

Thanks oknotzen, I will have a look on the DLS for those vehicles, but I am still learning about the DLS and to find my way.
I was thinking of an operational depot and equipment like the cranes used in the woodyards in the sessions to make it interesting , that one could despatch that will 'fix' the derailments on the scenes, like lifting the trucks and locomotives and rerailing them. Not sure if it can be done, a lot of work if it could - i'm sure.

You can put the re-rail portal at repair depot scene, this would handle a locomotive and a few cars, however what would happen if you derailed a 100+ consist, in that case that would be impractical.
