Sorry,
The asset link was incorrect.

@Acc3ss Violation: Thanks, I did not know that there actually was a mod called Asset Vehicle Editor. An a special thanks to you for this great Extended Asset Editor mod, it so useful in so many ways!

Nice idea making this a fake cargo train, having it work as an actual cargo train would probably end up with a lot of train traffic jams because of the length.

And Mike, Asset Vehicle Editor used to be a thing until it broke, got abandoned, and apparently removed from the workshop. All of its functionality has been in Extended Asset Editor for a while now, which was originally started because I wanted some more features that were missing from AVE. But yeah, that link should probably be fixed.

And by the way, I dont think an "Asset Vehicle Editor" is exsiting in the workshop and also the link is not working.
Do you mean the "Extended Asset Editor 0.4.11" (800820816)? Thats what I am using to compile my own engine/trailer combinations in the asset editor.

By the way, is the "Invisible Train Station" not just doing exactly the same as any of your swiss station tracks (used without a station) ?
In fact I am using your S2 station track to have a passenger train stop right in the middle of nowhere without a station, just replaced a S2 track peace with an S2 station track.

I am already using this technique a lot. I have two (fake) train lines just for the joy of watching trains, especially very long passenger and cargo trains (with a passenger train engine and cargo trailers), running through my map. And I would recommend another very useful asset:

"Railway-as-Metro Station"

With that you can have undergroud stations to have underground stops for your (passenger) trains to create lines, use the distance control function of some mods to have the same distance between trains on the same line, and so on.
So you can let trains disappear in a tunnel, have very long undergroud loops with underground stations (you can hide the overground part of such a station under a building with Move It), and let them reappear out of a tunnel anywhere else.
That way there are almost unlimited possibilities to create very complex train line scenarios, only limited by your imagination:) .

Perfect for train junkies like us!

おすすめの使い方
"Invisible Train Station"をマップ端に設置し、
ループ線を作り列車を方向転換させます。
これでマップ内を通過する列車ができます。

Recommended usage
Place "Invisible Train Station" at the map edge,
Make a loop line and change the train direction.
You have a train that passes through the map.

大量に発生する貨物列車が嫌なので
見た目だけのこのような列車を使っています。

I do not like the freight trains that appear a lot.
I use this dummy train that looks only.
