The autocoach has a few quirks
I wanted to include an articulated vehicle with combined passenger and mail capacity, which can be combined with a small engine to make a nice 1-tile train.
Articulated vehicles don't work with auto-replace, so there's only 1 generation provided. This means the autocoach will have a lower speed than some of the available engines after 1930 or so. This is unlikely to change, and probably isn't a big deal on the short routes this vehicle is intended for.
Articulated vehicles can't be flipped, so only one livery option is provided for autocoaches.
Finally, a nice 2-tile train can be made with 2 autocoaches, a small engine, and a medium-length passenger coach or mail van
