Example 1: Train editor [Nevalainen99]

In the Train Editor above, the user moves cars from one train to another by first dragging the cars to a visible clip board area (labeled ‘Leikepöytä’ on the screenshot), finding the target train, and dragging the cars from the clipboard to the train. The Temporary Storage is a place to keep cars during editing.
