I don't understand why American freight routes never use freight car liveries anymore on time table or journeys (only scenarios)? Clinchfield only subs locomotive liveries, not freight. Cane creak also doesn't sub in ANY liveries on timetable or journey. And now sherman hill doesn't put in freight liveries (haven't tested loco yet). Why is this? On Oakville it spawns in a beautiful variety of all liveries, even from other routes and a pleasant random order. Even sandpatch uses some liveries, both loco and freight. Why has this changed and why would you make groups of the same freight cars in a row, and in a locked order so all manifest are identical? This is not realistic to American freight.
This same issue also plagues the mixed trains on Dresden to Riesa. American mixed freight trains often have blocks of the same cars for the same customer. But having almost every mixed consist be exactly the same is wrong and breaks the immersion, for me, and further more makes the whole experience feel carbon and scripted. If DTG could come up with a way to randomize the mixed freights, then they would be much more authentic than they are now; as American mixed freights never look the same twice..
