Changeable consist of trains on Multiplayer

[Chisato Nishikigi]

Hello all!
It could be good to change train consist in multiplayer like changeable locomative and wagons or you can go solo or duo pendolino if you wanted. But only allow change consist in logical way (so not allow to play players 40 wagon train and impossible consistes). Also it would be changeable werbelok (paint) in your loco etc. What are you think about in? Tell me in comment.

in a train game maybe,  but in a simulator it kind of screws the whole realism thing up i think,

In real life there is a trains which runs with different locomative every day and with a different wagons. I don't think that it would screws anything. That's why i mention "in logical way". So not everything can be modified in train.

The thing is, train consists aren't random. They follow the timetable just as much as anything else does. Peak hour trains tend to be longer and heavier then a off-peak or even night time train. Having a double-unit train off-peak would be unrealistic, as it's a waste of resources, and a peak hour train with only one unit would not be able to cope with the demand. 
And as a driver, you don't get to choose the loco you're driving. You're assigned one by the loco disposition. 
Freight trains tend to have more fluctuation, but they follow the demand and supply rule as well, only they aren't tied to peak or off-peak times.

What I could see would give some alternation when driving freight trains, would be randomised train lengths, maybe even have a low chance off the loco running light when it actually should have a train to pull. This way, not every train is the same each day/hour.

i checked vagonweb for what exactly runs at pl irl. I see so much difference in each train. so at least it could be more "color" on rolling stock not only 1 train / type.

That's a handy site, 

I keep hearing SimRail is based on the network as it was in 2018, 
The timetable posters on the platforms are dated 2015 - 2016 i think. 

And the EU07 seemingly stopped running EC services around 2015, after that it's all done by the pendolino 🤮

I'm always happy to be corrected 🙂

Oh my bad, I thought I read Intercity... Silly me. 🤣

[Locomotiveman 1994]

A Eurocity (EC) is standardised international UIC train class, and basically an international Intercity (IC). Of wich a main feature is, that they're made up of loco hauled stock. So, unless Poland denotes their trains different then literally the entire rest of Europe, Pendolinos can't perrform EC duties...

[Gazz292]

it's just me getting my letters mixed up again i think, i probably got the IC and EIC services mixed up... i had been searching for a specific service number on the side mentioned above, and somehow got it showing it being run by a pendulino (type) train after a certain date, but a loco hauled EU07 or EU09 train before a certain date.
