    where do you click to close loco doors? Every route so far has been a guessing game. Some loco doors are easier to figure out than others but probably none of them close or open just by clicking the handle of the door. Sometimes you use the entire door to open it from the outside but if you wanna close it from the outside you can click a thousand times an still miss the door.

    Also climbing into a loco is a guessing game. You point where you normally would climb up but it's climb down on that loco.

    Consistency please! :(

    I think the German 110 (I was going to say the red one but yeah Germany :D)

    I was doing a scenario where I had to change ends of the train and I guess I wasted minutes trying to close the doors from the outside as I had to switch cab sides multiple times.

    i always stand close to the edge, and then jump out at the same time as i close the doors, a bit difficult but it usually works because it takes a second for the door to close. no idea if that would work on the 110 though

    Try stepping back a bit - you're probably in the ladder-volume and you can almost always "reach" the door if you step out of that.
    The other one i commonly do is to aim for the hinge area as that's again outside the ladder volume.

    Must have been "Stuck in the Middle with Hude"...
    Instead of reversing the 110, you have to change cabs.
