  O.engines=O.engines[:2]+O.engines[3:0]

will remove the 3rd engine, for example. You should not do it from
within the engine loop (didn't try, but that is what I guess), see
https://yade-dem.org/sphinx/user.html#checkpoints in the warning -- make
separate function that will wait for the step to finish, then remove the
engine, then call run() again.
