Working out how to do this kind of stuff in vanilla is fun 
(Hint: you can have a train wait in a "requester" station until empty or needing any resource, then send it to a supply when necessary via the circuit network. You can set filters on wagons by middle-clicking.)
There's also a mod doing stuff like this:
