Train Mod

Hello, I have been playing Factorio since late August 2015 and was wondering if there is anyone who would be able to make my idea for a more realistic train mod a reality.

It would probably help if you explain what is your idea. "more realistic train" is extremely vague.

Well what I mean is different levels of trains. Specifically, smaller locomotives that have a lower horsepower and pull more like 8 to 10 cars, then moderate size locomotives and large ones that can pull more cars than the small ones.

I have some ideas down on a document already, my only problem is finding someone who can actually make the mod.

The only reason I didn't is because my idea is so long. I will add a descriptive post.

Okay, so here is what I want in the mod

American Diesel locomotives, about 3 or 4 small, 3 or 4 medium, and 3 or 4 large engine/power locomotives, if more detail is needed, let me know.

American searchlight signals, not as block signals, but connected to a computer or system that the trains could also be connected to, so that the signal system can know the location of the trains and set signals/choose the best path for them.

Something like that yes, but more detailed, more variety. From what I am seeing with that, I don't see it changing the length too much.
