Thought everyone would be interested in the following tool I've just come across - have no idea how well known it is but seems very useful. It is a website that details all known timetabled passenger trains in the following countries, with diagrams of train formation and class as well as the timetable. Albania Austria Bosnia Bulgaria Croatia Czechia Germany Hungary Kosovo Montenegro North Macedonia Norway Poland Romania Serbia Slovakia Switzerland It also allows you to see the timetables and formation by year, all the way from 1969 to 2021. Here's a screenshot earlier of ICE 1676 in 2021. Hope people find this useful, it can be found here: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/ The website is available in English, German, Polish, Spanish, Czech and Hungarian.
The website is a list of train formations operating in some European countries. And there are a number covering countries not shown in the list Although it will tell you how a service is formed I'm unsure how it will help create a scenario as there is no way to know which trains the service might meet on its journey A timetable is more important for working out which trains you might put in the scenario Peter
Thank you for your reply. I didn't intend for it to be used just on its own - but with a timetable. As you point out, a timetable provides you with the services, and thus the tool can be used to create AI trains with the correct formation, in conjunction with the timetable.
Reminds me of the very first thing I saw on the www after it was created: a plain text HTML page of a German railway timetable. Seemed like wizardry at the time!
