    I finally took some time last night to explore the route menus in my library, and saw that while Long Island's timetable showed 181 services, clicking in showed only one locomotive, the M7, with 28 services. A quick forum search taught me that the LIRR train actually has three different lengths which can be selected as liveries. (I do have to admit being curious about the reasoning behind taking the trouble to create 181 services and then hiding 153 of them out of sight with no indication.) I also read that Tees Valley's Class 20, which I've just bought, has a similar situation.

    At that point, I decided to check all the route locos I have with livery options to see if any others had changes to services and found several, which I'm listing below in the hope that this will be of general interest. Please feel free to add any that I'm missing. And if I've somehow missed an already-existing list, I'd welcome a pointer.

    LIRR: M7 10 car has 28 services, 6 car has 88 services, 8 car has 65 services
    TVL: Class 37/5 RF has 47 services & RFD Class 37/5 x2 Light Engine has 32 services; Class 20 RF has 3 services & RF Class 20 x2 Light Engine has 32 services
    SPG: SD40-2 UP & UP SD40-2 (from Sherman Hill) & SD40-2 YN3b all have 54 services, SD40-2 YN2 has 56 services
    SKA: BR185.2 has 30 services, BR185.2 DB has 14 services
    MSB: BR185.2 has 193 services, BR185.2 DB has 88 services
    ECW: Both Class 66 EWS have 13 services & Class 66 DBS has 12 services
    GWE: High Speed GWG has two unlabeled options--1st has 49 services, 2nd has 48 (exiting this livery also replaces thumbnail picture randomly)

    To avoid duplication of effort, the following have no differences (in numbers; didn't compare at the timetable level):
    TVL: Class 08
    SPG: AC4400CW, GP38-2, SD70ACe (from Sherman Hill)
    ECW: Class 40
    GWE: Class 66
    NTP: Class 08 and Class 40
    West Somerset: Class 08, Class 40, Class 47 (that Class 47 green livery is sharp!)
    HMA, HRR, and RSN: 766.2, BR185.2
    SKA, MSB: 766.2
    RRO: 185.2

    I hope this is useful.
