Iron Horse suggestions

[mana451]

I love the game, but I have a couple of suggestions for the Iron Horse. First, it would be great if you could add a trigger function to the track to blow the whistle where you want to. Second, the bell on a train doesn't ring continuously, it only rings during certain train movements, such as entering and leaving stations. It's pretty annoying to me to hear it the entire time the train is in motion. Some theme parks may operate their train that way, but it's not correct in real life.

Thanks for taking these suggestions into consideration.

I was just thinking about this! I would love to be able to trigger both the whistle and the bell myself.

Another annoyance I have with the steam trains is that the side rods are not offset from each other like they are in real life. Rather than try to explain what I mean, here is a link to the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(locomotive)#Crank_angles

Basically, the way they are set up now would cause the mechanism to get stuck if the cylinder were to stop at certain points in its stroke.
