			As a final note regarding traincar DLC packs. It is expected that locomotives and rolling stock scripts will not break default functionality.

			Examples of this are startup/shutdown scripts that are off by default. For the average user who purchases a loco with this, they will have no way to know how to startup the locomotive, and hence are stuck with a locomotive that to them simply does not work. For startup/shutdown scripts there are two options for this, one is to simply have the loco on by default and allow the player to choose to turn it off in the properties, and then allow them to go through the startup sequence. Another, as seen on the Frecciarossa train DLC, would be to have the train pop up with a message to provide startup options.

			Another example would be custom throttle/brake controls that prevent the HUD controls, DCC controls, or keyboard controls from working. Again the average player who purchases this DLC pack will not know what is happening and will see this content as being broken. In this case you must ensure that custom controls correctly respond to the HUD and keyboard.
