| + | Third rail is the best choice as they are much easier to program (just a new type of rail; no complex OLE logic), and is often easy to hide the pickup shoes if the rail is centred (which means they can be absent). | ||

This low-area transmission is a feature designed to encourage the development of working OLE (overhead line electrification). |
| Multiple power sources (which are transmitting power) on the same stretch of third rail will cancel each other out and mean the third rail is unelectrified. | Multiple power sources (which are transmitting power) on the same stretch of third rail will cancel each other out and mean the third rail is unelectrified. | ||

| + | * Leave gaps 3 m away from level crossings; stepping on a third rail is deadly and will kill if enabled. | ||
| + | * At junctions, ALWAYS electrify in-between points if possible (when the track is more then 3 m between points). It's likely a train will be long enough to stand on a third rail, but if a section remains unelectrified, | ||

| For combustable fuel, for automatic refuelling, there is a refuel track.
