Of course it isn't 'real life', but the alternative is that you have to
sell the engine and then buy a new one, with the same end result, only more
hassle. I'ld rather have the automatic method, or else you're left with a
long list of identical engines, which is kinda unpractical.
Also, how often are you going to change the service of a train? That's
rather rare, I think.
On the other side, I wonder how do engine behave when they have different
kinds of wagons attached to them?
