Great work!  Creating electrified railway services is now truly an investment. 
Building the ET-87 required some fiddling with the cars marked MORE and STOP, 
but I finally figured it out alright.

There is one problem though, because in temperate climate and with this 
newgrf.cfg (all latest versions):

newgrf/elrailsw.grf
newgrf/signalsw.grf
newgrf/trkfoundw.grf
newgrf/canalsw.grf
newgrf/newshipsw.grf
newgrf/newstatsw.grf
newgrf/arcticsetw.grf
newgrf/dbsetw.grf
newgrf/tempsetw.grf
newgrf/cargosetw.grf
newgrf/dbsetxlw.grf
newgrf/tropicstw.grf
newgrf/LongBusesw.grf
newgrf/McTrucksw.grf
newgrf/ScaniaTrucksw.grf
newgrf/VolvoTrucksw.grf
newgrf/SpitzerTrucksw.grf
newgrf/NavistarTrucksw.grf

I get an error message that NavistarTrucksw cannot be loaded due to too many 
sprites.  The DB set XL readme advises to include dbsetw and tempsetw in its 
examples.  That worked fine, until I added the long road vehicle grfs.  When I 
exclude dbsetw, dbsetxlw gives a warning that it's deactivating tempsetw, but 
when I activate tempsetw manually after the warning, they are both OK (green).

Because dbset(xl)w says it deactivates tempsetw, I excluded that one to 
attempt to prevent any warnings and loading errors.  That failed of course, 
because tempsetw was never loaded in the first place.  So I excluded dbsetw 
too; that worked.  But now I am worried that something from dbsetw will be 
missing, although I couldn't prove that yet.
