 ====== Train Catalogue ======
+{{indexmenu>usage:trains}}
 ===== Types of Trains =====
-Different kinds of train wagons are provided with the base modpack of advtrains as well as with many additional packs. This section of the wiki is meant to cover what is available, not just in the base modpack but all trains made for advtrains.
+Different kinds of train wagons are provided as additional packages to advtrains. This train catalogue aims to collect all currently published train packages and their wagons.
 Train wagons can be identified by some of their features. In theory, none of these are mutually exclusive:

-Currently the [[usage:trains:advtrains_train_jre231|E231]] is the only known train with livery feature as it can be painted with the bike painter.
+The [[usage:trains:advtrains_train_jre231|E231]] was the first train with a livery feature as it can be painted with the bike painter.  Other mods now also support customized liveries, many of them using the Livery Tools mod by Marnack.
-Currently the [[usage:trains:advtrains_subway|subway wagon]] is the only known train with line number display
+The [[usage:trains:basic_trains:advtrains_subway|subway wagon]] was the first wagon with line number display, but the Minitram Konstal 105N now also supports them via a Visual Line Number Displays library, and other mods are also adding this feature over time.
