Is it possible to automate the creation of trains?

I can assemble locomotives and carts in a machine alright, that is not the problem. I wonder if I can also automatically put them on rails and have them all fuelled up and ready to go.

Something like this?

P.S. You can blueprint them even in vanilla and bots will build them and bring some fuel. But they will stay in manual mode until you switch them to auto, unfortunately.

Ouch! I was so fixated on some inserter-to-rail scheme that I didn't even think of construction robots. Thank you very much.
