In Explore Mode, I’ve been seeing pre-sets of engines with their certain rolling stocks and then on Timetable Mode, it was all “day in the life” of any engine but I was hoping for creating custom timetables and consists if it happens on the future updates. Example: James with 3 or 5 red express coaches, Emily with Annie and Clarabel.
I highly agree. Having a custom timetable for AI engines in Explore Mode would be nice, allows the world to feel more alive and it would let us create our very own Sodor. Whether we want to recreate a Sodor in its early days before some engines arrived or a Sodor with only engines from the RWS, model series or CGI series. So many opportunities like a dieselised Sodor or a fun mix like driving past Diesel 10 (if we get him) pulling the express.
+1 to this, Also the ability to save where engines/rolling stock has been placed in like a custom layout would be nice too.
I'd support this too - I've been having a blast running 15+ coach expresses, but setting them requires a fair bit of juggling!
Oh no, they massively over-run the platforms - but the joy is in running a massive consist and seeing how well the different engines handle it. I did my own version of 'Triple Header' earlier today and had Percy, Thomas and Diesel whisk a twenty-coach express non-stop from Vicarstown to Tidmouth in about 35 minutes. As well as sucessfully reproducing 'Close Shave' (rolling twenty trucks and an engine from the top of Gordon's Hill into the barber shop at Crosby), I've also tried to replicate Toby's Megatrain with some success - Percy successfully moved 48 trucks and a brake van up the 1-in-60 slope out of Knapford Harbour and got through Elsbridge and past Maithwaite, but stalled on the 1-in-50 approach to Hackenbeck Tunnel.
