Having used trains pretty extensively already, I'm incredibly excited for that 1.1 change. I've been intermittently dabbling in a ribbon world (width is limited, length is infinite), and I've been struggling to figure out what circuit wizardry I'll need to have multiple smaller smelters running throughout (the basic plan is to have a single linear train bus running across the top edge of the map, with the factory broken up into small modules that fit within the limited width below there). Being able to simply set a limit for how many trains can path to a stop at once is going to be an absolute gamechanger, especially with the ability to set that limit using circuits.

i might grab a mod in the meantime

I'd advise learning vanilla trains before dabbling in any of the bigger train mods. Logistic Train Network (which I haven't personally used, but it's one of the most popular mods) is incredibly powerful and helps tremendously with setting up more complex train networks, but it builds on the vanilla mechanics. Having at least a working understanding of signalling and the like will make it a lot less overwhelming to try integrating LTN's functionality into your factories.
