Train types and lengths have been gathered via watching multiple videos of trains in certain countries. My "research" may not be 100% accurate, so please feel free to correct me if I have made a mistake.

Things currently missing from mod (may be added in the future):

-Romania is missing certain trains. As for the missing romanian trains, I currently cannot find them with the extractor. They will be added once I manged to snag their files.
-Older unreworked countries (like Britain) dont have trains to edit and thus arent a part of this mod. An update will be released when they get trains.
-Intermodal trains currently arent a thing as no such intermodal cars have been added yet. I hope we will eventually get some. When/if we do, there will be an update.
-Finnish lumber trains will be added when a log car is added (hopefully with nordic horizons)


IMPORTANT NOTE:
This mod is designed to be used with Cipus' real train sounds mod. As such, it must be installed in order to prevent certain trains from not having sounds and errors in the gamelog. -THIS MOD MUST BE PLACED ABOVE REAL TRAIN SOUNDS IN THE LOAD ORDER-

Reccomended mods:
Real Train sounds ETS2 by Cipus - https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2439106226&searchtext=train+sounds

Thanks for the answers,
1. Understand about you not having knowledge about pushing and i accept having an Traxx version of it since it would be common to appear now with the 143 version appearing sometimes.
2. Yeah, it would be boring only having passenger trains in Spain so it's acceptable to kept the freight consists with the passenger trains together, and good about the possibility of reactivating Renfe 252, for the CP one yeah i have only seem the Renfe one but it was because i have not explored all rail lines in Portugal on that time so i don't know, and i just mentioned the CP one since an SCS Developer in the forums mentioned about it with the 252 but said that apparently there was problems in the spawn so i think this why we didn't seem it

3. As for the desiro problem, Im not entirely sure what in my mod is affecting that. I will have to look into it more. I know SCS recently added a ton of those for most major countries but so far I have not seen any.

(same steam issue)

@youngthug - Thank you for your information, much appreciated. I will try to clear up some points below.

1. With the regio train, this might be possible to do but Im not entirely sure how I could add a locomotive pushing. I could probably add the regio set to the german TRAXX since I already have one of the 143 pulling it, but at the moment I cannot do pushing. That's just due to my limited knowledge on modding.

2. I am aware of the differences between the 334 and 335. I have no intention on taking out the freight trains in spain because I personally like the variety in the different trains, so seeing only passenger isn't something I want. I can probably find a way to add the Renfe coaches behind the 334 though. I can probably reactivate the renfe 252, as for the CP one I have never seen it when it was (supposedly) active so Im not sure its even permitted to spawn ingame.

4. And yes, i know of the missing Romanian trains and i have actually seem then in an old version of the game (1.44 probably) and one of then i found in the game files. the Siemens Desiro called in the game files "train_sidero" and for some reason it's in the definition to appear but it does not.. as for the other one, i could not find it in the game files and in the definition, so it's sure to say that it is removed... also not only romania have trains that is missing but also bulgaria with another Desiro and an Skoda 68E, and Spain & Portugal as i have mentioned above... for Greece however the Desiro is back but for some reason it does not appear in the electric lines like OSE 120 and 220 with your mod active however, but without your mod it was the first train to appear in the line, so i would want to know if you know how to fix it. So that's what i know i have experienced during lots of my gameplays and watching trains sometimes

3. Speaking of Spain, there was another locomotive in the electric lines of Spain (the class 252) pulling passenger coaches with the actual Renfe paint job, but i looked in the game files and it's actually deactivated, it is in the game files but it's not in the definition to appear in Spain, only the Class 334 (and also the model was reused for Greece dlc since the OSE Class 120 is very similar to the class 252) and apparently, theres was also one in Portugal that is the Class 252 but with the CP paint job made to look like the 5600 since its pratically the same
YoungThug 2 Feb @ 2:29pm 
2. The train in Spain is the Class 334 which irl it only pulls passenger coaches (normal coaches and typically an Talgo consist) but in game it only pulls freight which is unrealistic, there's another locomotive that is very similar to the 334 (in case the Class 335) so i think its why SCS made it a freight loco, but those have different paint schemes so.. make it only pull passenger coaches if possible

Very good mod, it's cool to have a bit of realism in some things we don't normally see often, but since i have played with this mod i have realized some things:
1. In Germany there's an version of the DB Regio from the base game that its only the coaches without an locomotive pushing it, it does exist an electric version of the coaches irl, but it's not the same model since you can realize the train not having an pantograph (despite it having an electric sound in the in-game sound) so i want to know if its possible to make a version of the cab car
leading with an electric locomotive on the rear (an DB BR 143 or Traxx) and if its also possible to
increase the chance of the DB Regio consist you made with 143 leading since i have not seem it and its supposed to be a common consist to appear on every regional line
