Dave, just to reiterate what Paul wrote ... "... that trains with broken/open
doors shouldn't be allowed to move until fixed".  I don't disagree with what you
wrote.  However, my earlier reply was that nothing is done about the
"broken/open doors" (ie. no some kind of fix applied), therefore the train
shouldn't be moved until a "temporary" fix (such as a door insert) is applied.
