Ah no. There´s still no good solution for this.

Or, in the case of the german DB, engines are painted differently w. respect to
their specific service.

Yes, that´d be one possibility. Another one would be to refit vehicles to *the
same* cargo and thus cycling through different appearences. (George uses this
for his "long vehicles" and I´m using this for the canal boats).

But I don´t like this mechanism very much. Moreover, you couldn´t refit a
locomotive at all if it doesn´t have any capacity ...
