Well, I didn“t point to the fact that it“s possible (and favourable) to have
different liveries according to a special service a locomotive is used for, but
rather to the fact that IMO it“s unrealistic to have those engines changing
livery *automatically* when de-coupling wagons type A and attaching wagons type
B in a depot.

I“m aware that there“s only few possibilities to get the desired effect, though
...
