well even if the depot can be converted with a train in it, then how about this:
- you build an electric engine
- you build a diesel engine
- you use the diesel engine to pull the electric engine to a conventional depot
- you sell the diesel and make a train out of the electric engine

The solution should be a failture to start from depots with 0 hp. Best solution would be to replace the green flag with an error icon of some sort and then show that one if the train tries to leave in addition to it to fail to leave

I implemented the flag replacement by a different icon (currently the lock from network games).
If the train has 0hp, the start/stop button in the train view window is disabled (same for the clic on flag in depot window).
The train power is updated when the depot is converted, and windows refreshed.

Btw, if you add a diesel engine, the 'lock' disappear and you can start the train :)

PS: I think a new gfx would be better. But I'm not good in drawing.

I fixed many bugs with trains running while depot conversion (ie if an electric train is partially in the depot, don't update his power until it is totally in depot, or it will stop and block everything). Same kind of changes for train reversing.

When an electric train is entering in a depot while the depot is converted, if his power becomes 0hp, the order is changed to stop the train.

I still need a better icon (I think the lock is not accurate).

Bjarni closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Fixed

fixed in revision 5853

we might need a new sprite for this, but so far "No Power" written in red will do
