"Mmmmmm Smoooth" - Quantum Chief 2023

For the switch, you could try what they do on a roller coaster. Have two complete, separate track segments on a slider, one straight and one curved. When you want to switch the track, have a piston move the slider to line up the direction you want to go.

you should try using the beam blocks, i made a train and it was a fun challenge designing a train that could do that.

ahh SE being SE. the wobble you are experiencing is known as Hunting and is a phenomenon well documented by real Railroads. the wheels are trying to find their path which with SE Physics, can get a bit janky. it would be nice for Keen to actually make proper track and Railroad Wheel Bogies so all us Couch Engineers can go all Ham creating kewl stuff.

I was watching a Splitsie episode and he was being pestered by the wheels on his rover just randomly locking up, usually just 1 of 4. So he may have some ideas about overcoming the problem. Enjoyed the video, a lot of work but you managed 10 times faster than I could so well mate. My only attempt at a track setup was to use a bed of bullet proof glass with the angled half block on each side then I set the friction 0 or 1 (it was a while ago) and used a thruster at each end of the vehicle. It worked but was only about 200m of track for moving building materials to the busy end of a tunnel complex I was trying to build. I assume you've seen the 'hidden' track block, spotted it on LSG's KZfaq. Thanks for info and good luck with your train set.

Switch track I believe is the term your looking for. A siding is a place for 1 train to sit till another passes by. Good job

To get them going max speed, use jet engines or even install lightspeed to make some cross-world vehicles? Only problem I see is the curvature of the planet when going super fast? Probably also some top-heavy tipping issues if you are going too fast on a curve. Trains also make sense if you have a mod like Resource Nodes where you have mines all over the place and need to train a massive amount from each location back to your main base.

Great work!

Thinking even a monorail type. May even be more efficient. Use the same under carriage assembly and track bit flip it upside down..?

With the arrival of the new automation blocks, it will be fantastic, we will even be able to cross roads with autonomous signals. this video came at a good time. rails have rules, low speed in curves, and the curves are not closed, another thing I would try would be to put 4 wheels and not 6 on each Trick

Try taking a trip down a different track: Monorails. They usually work much better in SE. Go to the workshop, and look up the Dawnstar Freight Train, and the Dawnstar Bullet Train. The first is slow & steady & one of the earliest examples of functioning trains in the game, and the latter is newer but far more capable & extremely stable at maximum speed. Study their designs, and be inspired. 👍

Would you consider releasing that world on the steam workshop or the train tracks and the trains you had made up? I've been trying to reproduce the tracks and can't get the bends to work for me. Thanks!

Traihn Now I need a tutorial on how to make trains

Look at how a real train engines wheels are set up. Especially older steam engines. You could make any configuration. Example a 2-3-2 , 2small 3large 2small.

Why 3 axled trucks?

Mano, faltou o mod que tem blocos com trilhos de trem 😭😭😭

9:00 you just copied my design of the rails :D these are best and most stable. You just need to optimize bogies for trains. Small grid railroad will not work for long distances because of high number of blocks

100th like.... I like daaancing.....
