one of the big plus's that most electric engines have over (most) alternatives is that their fully reversible and suffer zero losses/efficiency.

saw this mod, thought it was kinda cool--and now thought it'd be cool if you would add the same thing (or maybe it'd be easier to add it as optional dependency? IDK)

I've seen a similar mod before. Since the electric locomotives in this mod use the same LocomotivePrototype, they should work plug and play with them.

That being said, the trains will have insane acceleration if rear heads of the train also always provide driving force

nice to know

tbh, I think its fine that the trains can combo like that imo
