Show me your BEST locomotive builds, genuinely just curious to see what yall got

[stable merlin]

who you

me?
teacup?
niklas?

[fluid atlas]

what

[late quest]

It says I need to make more

I think that means me

[stable merlin]

my new best engines look crap compared to what "you now can do"

[late quest]

Ye, my new best engines

Ah you now can do

As in, what is possible nowadays, not really referring to anything specific

But for example how niklas uses createdeco boilers in small bytes to make tanks

[stable merlin]

look like crap compared to what You can do

[late quest]

Or the corner trims in bytes

[late quest]

Its a dutch thing that doesnt translate well

[stable merlin]

ok

[late quest]

Or well, it does translate well i just had a brainfart

[devout ferry]

on the ones i make turtorials for since some people dont want to fuck around with the files to get certian parts on the locmotive

https://tenor.com/view/memes-gif-9980668056796018353

only gif i found for this lol

[steady forum]

ohhh that metro looks sicks that i really wanna recreate it lol

[merry sigil]

which mod adds these yellow warning blocks?

[real ether]

dreams n desires

[merry sigil]

thanks

[keen owl]

you can also use the factory must grow for similar blocks although they are much brighter

and multi colored

[desert sparrow]

Something I tried to replicate using some builds I found and modifying them

Sheds are crappy cuz I built them from scratch-

[stable merlin]

where is that trams wheel coverings

[desert sparrow]

Good point, imma do that rq

-# somehow

[stable merlin]

just add em

[gusty skiff]

i think this belongs here

[merry sigil]

which mod adds these blocks?

looks nice

[weary aurora]

pretty in pink

which afaik is only available rn in the snr server pack

[stable merlin]

or if you download it and then put it to your own mod list

[chrome cape]

since its night i couldnt get properly but this is my second steam engine attempt (Also not based on any train irl, i just checked other builds)

[gusty skiff]

looks better everytime

[novel blaze]

nice job! I recognize those fellas 😄

[desert sparrow]

I did modify them slightly since I didn't have the right mods- but I think they turned out nicely

[devout ferry]

Idk if this is my best but it is probably my best shunting locomotive

[spiral karma]

this is my new best engine

[left raft]

Sir

Can I see them wagons?

[stable merlin]

Sir your locomotive reminds me of a certain locomotive https://youtu.be/PBZn5mX8K9E?si=O9Uh0aaI8aViniDv

[empty silo]

first attempt at building my own thing

[stable merlin]

american style 4-6-0?

[empty silo]

yeah

loosely based off manila railroad class 45

[stable merlin]

good could have some different blocks than locometal but good still

[silver cloak]

we are in fact using a very large amount of mods for decorations

this must be my best one

[mental wigeon]

Nope

[stable merlin]

[mental wigeon]

Ok

[fluid atlas]

i wouldnt say very large

[stable merlin]

yes we are

[fluid atlas]

its like 5-10 mods that isnt "large"

[devout ferry]

Me and @late mica made a budget Rapidlok

[stable merlin]

Must be my best

You are best locomotive/locomotive bogey builder😍🤩

[crisp ravine]

Mine is on the left. I give credit to N0V4 and Kathy

[tough orchid]

I love it but it slightly reminds me of minions

[dense tree]

How did you get so good at building?

Can you please build NW 611 like i asked you before?

[devout ferry]

Look i made NW 611

I'm not sure what that reaction means but this is one of my first trains so please go easy on me.

[snow patrol]

I have something similar

[karmic solstice]

2-6-0 Camelback locomotive I made for pulling passenger trains.

[silver cloak]

why is it so tall

[raven edge]

why are you so short

[devout ferry]

try using not only locometal

[stable merlin]

bc its Broaaaad

[clear socket]

Might I inquire how you made that so well? And if you've made any other american stuff? I made a decent 80ish tonner but have been struggling with making a bigger loco

[soft trout]

Here's some stuff from this thread uh lemme see what else

[clear socket]

Dreyfuss spotted, very happy

I am an NYC foamer lol

[soft trout]

But for how I make my stuff, it's just alot of practice to see what looks good, sometimes I remake a loco several times

Like even some of the ones I pulled up there I'm prob gonna redo at some point

[clear socket]

Do you try and scale at all/plan out how long? or do you just build and see what happens?

[soft trout]

Most of the time I just see how it goes, with planning just kinda being like "oh this dome from this pic looks to be between the 2nd and 3rd driver" or other eyeballing measurements like that

[upper flower]

its not specifically US diesel but same rules apply
#1380029469846278206 message

[clear socket]

It's not perfect, but I reverse engineered your cab and did not realize how many copycat blocks I could use/should be using. I'm probably going to go back over and redesign it my own way though now that I have kind of figured out how it can be done

I still don't like how I did the roof

[clear socket]

Much better, but still not quite happy with the cab. Might work on something else and come back to it later

I've got plenty of time to design, I'm waiting on create 6.0 support to not be so buggy. Then I'll start my survival playthrough.

I'll probably do a redesign of this at some point as well

[clear socket]

I think it looks quite good in a train

[mental wigeon]

Nice

[mental wigeon]

Maybe a bit Big

[silver cloak]

i hope its a scaled up narrow gauge locomotive

[slender frigate]

too many bogeys

[keen owl]

what is that abomination dude

im sorry but mate, you gotta think about proportions

[keen owl]

THAT THING is NOT proportional

[fluid atlas]

Those tiny buffers ain’t gonna do shit with this thing

[keen owl]

agreed

oops sorry i pinged ya

didn‘t mean it

[fluid atlas]

Ping me all you like I don’t care

If someone complains about being pinged they should find something that actually means something to the world to complain about

[devout ferry]

wtf is this

[late quest]

That niklas, is a train

[mental flame]

so real

[fluid atlas]

nah its a automobile

everyone here hates getting pinged.....

[mental flame]

I don't :3

[toxic locust]

Mhmm I seen this somewhere

[glass palm]

I only like getting pinged if someone has a genuine reason to do so!
Like directly at me, or has something to do with me!
If someones got nothing worth seeing, I dont wanna be pinged! 😂

[open axle]

I haven’t done anything in a long while but I am fond of this guy

[toxic locust]

Wow

[open axle]

Wow good or bad

[mental wigeon]

You made all that with CnB? Im impressed.

[raven edge]

pretty sure chisel and bits doesnt work with create so its probablby armourers workshop

[stable merlin]

CnB Does work with create trens but just some versions its AW

[dire pawn]

You can assemble builds that contain CnB. It's just Schematic that doesn't work.

[raven edge]

ah, the only time i tried to assemble a train with cnb it just didnt work in the slightest

[mental wigeon]

Ah

Kk

[silver cloak]

why havent i put this here yet

its a remake of the oldest engine i found screenshots of

[keen owl]

dang that shi goes kinda hard ngl

although having a single axle bogey under the cab would look a lil more natural

[silver cloak]

yes, but the wheel layout is quite significant so i ended up not wanting to change it

[soft trout]

[snow patrol]

Made a 4-6-2 pacific

I'm gonna add details to tender sometime later

[lavish stag]

based on WL class? or freelance?

[snow patrol]

WP

its funny I could replace green locometal with red/blue and voila I just got 2 new pacifics

[silver cloak]

that are all locometal still

grr

[lavish stag]

Has any WP pacific been unstreamlined? them standardized class 4-6-2s alaways have been streamlined from what i could find

[snow patrol]

bro

other than tender where is all locometal

[silver cloak]

i guess discord just put that tender in my face

[snow patrol]

yeah cuz it's first image sent somehow

Im gonna add more details to the tender later on

i played too much mc while making that and now I'm burnt out

[silver cloak]

the rest has a well balanced amount of locometal

unless you ask niklas

[snow patrol]

locometal hater /j

[snow patrol]

I don't actually know much about indian steam engines other than the fact that they have cool ass liveries (especially metre gauge ones)

[lavish stag]

i would love to see you making a WP-Normal streamlined but you making your own paint scheme but inspired by the "Beauty pagent" Decals these engines have

[snow patrol]

No i actually built this one

-# btw did i mention getting screenshot in minecraft was hella hard i actually needed to screen record the gameplay and then take screenshot from the footage and screen recorder was crashing like every 4 seconds

[lavish stag]

the Nose looks abit flat but hey its the limitations of copy cat-Or what ever block mod your using can do

[snow patrol]

its all copycat

[snow patrol]

Nose was flat because I was supposed to put some sort of light source there which can't be placed on slabs and stuff

[lavish stag]

I know you built it already but here have a Ery Noice picture

Diagram made by Pierwsza Fabryka Lokomotyw w Chrzanowie Fablok (drawings by Bogdan Pokropiński r.i.p.)

[silver cloak]

btw do you have a blueprint of a görlitz double decker car/multiple car unit that has a resolution of over 10x10 pixels?

[lavish stag]

I've tried looking but No king dice my friend : c

[silver cloak]

thats not good

i guess no görlitz double deckers then

(also they are converting görlitz into a fucking tank factory)

[fossil sapphire]

Tbh I would love it if SP had a garrat lol

[lavish stag]

They had a kitson meyer type proposed which ig its close enough but even then it wasn't built

[keen owl]

shiiii this kinda hits hard bro

ngl the engineers cooked on that one

[keen owl]

it looks like a soviet loco and a british one had a baby that was also partially american and somehow it looks kinda cool

[soft trout]

Is it wearing a tiara??

[hidden storm]

BR 99 633

narrow gauge

[lavish stag]

India has a bigger Broad gauge compared to russia but im not sure if the loading gauge is taller or a little smaller

[glad drift]

Futuristic steam train with true darkness and dynamic lights.

[left raft]

I’m sorry is that a 8-10-6?

[quaint girder]

Nope it’s a 4-4-10-6

Even more cursed

[glad drift]

It was supposed to be weird and futuristic; I was originally going to build a whole passenger train with a cyberpunk themed station. Might still do that though.

[dense sorrel]

last iteration of my consist is done. 0-4-2 Forney, with an RPO and Observation/Executive car. would love to hear thoughts n tips/advice :>

[silver cloak]

the interiors look nice

[silver cloak]

which of these mods do you have (just curious)
handcrafted
design and decor
macaws bridges

you can also make great details with metal brackets in copycats

[dense sorrel]

what kinds of details? :0

[silver cloak]

any kind

[dense sorrel]

lemme check 👀

[silver cloak]

you can put handcrafted tables and corner trims in copycats as well as design and decor diagonal metal supports and boilers as well as macaws bridges stairs (tho their texture sometimes glitches)

create deco boilers can also be put into copycats

putting non full blocks into copycats makes such nice details possible

[dense sorrel]

oooo hell ye

[late quest]

Another one i just found for great detailling, rechiseled window bars

[dense sorrel]

so i just looked, we don't have any of these lol

[wet spire]

so is this create windows in rechiseled?

[late quest]

Euhmm no

[dense sorrel]

ooooo nice!!

[wet spire]

Which are the rechiseled window bars then, just normal glass in rechiseled? I don't know the block but it sounds like what I'm often looking for

[late quest]

it isnt really bars, idk the exact name lemme look em up

window bars

[wet spire]

Oh they're mangrove only?

[gusty skiff]

no u have them in every vanilla plank

[silver cloak]

do you have them in metal tho

[wet spire]

Ooh, that could be useful. From rechiseled? I didn't realise they did glass, thought it was just stones

[gusty skiff]

idk could also be chipped i dont remember

[soft trout]

rechiseled: create integration iirc

[serene kernel]

Class 08 :)

[mental wigeon]

Gud shoonter

[wet spire]

finally, think this might be the first time I've seen one of these that has a good shape. so many people prioritise texture and varied materials over the core shape. sure you've used all locometal and I know how some feel about that, but it looks good anyway because the shape looks good

[uneven shuttle]

Cool loco

[dim vapor]

this little 0-4-0

[silver cloak]

you can replace the layers with stacked half layers to get rid of the texture glitch where the outline is shown in the middle

[dim vapor]

oh the little white spots?

[silver cloak]

yes

[dim vapor]

i knew how to fix it i just like how it looks lol

also in the process of making a class 40 so ill post that maybe

For those who once played with the Railcraft mod: You guys remember the 'Electric Locomotive'?

Well, I decided to recolor a GE GG1 as a throwback. And come to think of it, the electric engine from that old mod does kinda look like one.

I preferred Immersive Railroading back in the day!

Still do! I wish there was a way to make create trains control like the IR trains!

The lights should be lower

[devout ferry]

No

Move the lights down and in a quarter of a block

[green iron]

Ok

[oblique mural]

Yo this is epic, how'd you get the headlights on the nose and front railing? What mods aside from snr, create deco?

[soft trout]

dye depot, chipped, copycats+, biomes o plenty, nature's spirit, handcrafted, and armourers workshop i think

[silver cloak]

some stuff seems to be armorers workshop and otherwise chipped stuff in copycats and the black railings are macaws bridges blackstone bridge stair

Found it:
Yonks" is a British slang term used to describe a very long time, often used in the same way as "ages" or "a long time". It's an informal term and typically refers to a period of years.

no

Oops all wool /j

If I'm not wrong light blue wool's colour is actually most common light blue colour in minecraft so there are a lot of blocks (especially with chipped mod ) that have similar colours

idk what that is...

[gusty skiff]

Its a create server basically

[green iron]

Nice texture pack

[gusty skiff]

its not a texture pack...

[green iron]

What

Ok

[gusty skiff]

its the lastest version of PnP NeoForge

[green iron]

Ok sir

[gusty skiff]

i think it adds all of these: magenta, maroon, pine green, olive, lime, chartreuse, sea green, turquoise, royal blue.

[real ether]

oh my gawd its all pnp

[gusty skiff]

erm actually, it also has netherrack and scorchia

[vagrant rain]

Here was my first train on the train yard modpack :3

[snow patrol]

kio ❤️

what shader is that tho

[fluid atlas]

i think its bliss with some settings changed but i could be wrong

[vagrant rain]

It’s Kappa

[vagrant rain]

I see what you mean but ^

[fluid atlas]

i havent used it recently so i wouldn't know

im a boring complementary person

[lunar sigil]

[snow patrol]

I'm a guy with a midrange phone

[devout ferry]

It is impressive that you even have managed to run mc on a phone

[snow patrol]

what's more impressive is the fact that I play decently modded mc on DAILY BASIS

Some people mention that doing such things are impressive only as experiments and not as actual way to play mc on daily basis (because doing so is something only insane guy can do)

-# ||Not gonna support a resource pack made by a dude who’s not only a bigot but used chatGBT to code the pack and say “it was so easy”||

[stable merlin]

Its not that hard even

[snow patrol]

wtf

wdym code the pack is that even possible

I though resourcepacks were all about models and textures

[upper flower]

they need a small mcmeta file for the game to hook onto

it’s like 3 lines at best

which only really adds to bigTs point lel

[fluid atlas]

-# realealealealeaelaelaeaeaealll

[real ether]

theyre honestly rly pretty id love to use them if it wasnt for.. that

[upper flower]

oh maddy

no..

[real ether]

WHAT

whatd i do

[viscid oar]

heisler + steam tractor + possibly climax cylinders :0

If the engine has two cylinders on the side of the boiler like a climax loco, powering one wheel like a steam tractor and that one loco design. Wheels are connected like the aforementioned design and heisler locos

:(
Aw, i got bad wording

[snow patrol]

oh yeah I have made that it's not that hard to code why did they use ai

[strange blade]

pretty sure this one was designed after those funny rack railway locos

[viscid oar]

I see that now
Since they have extra cylinders above the wheels that drive the gears

[left raft]

How?

[wet spire]

looks like another bogie above for the raised valve gear, neat idea. trust teacup to come up with neat techniques like this

also the deployer as a whistle is v cool

[mellow thunder]

You’re also working to the benefit of only using two bogeys total so you don’t have to faff about with complex gluing either

Certainly something I did too for my problem class back before we had single axle piston drivers from eb borked.

[tall nebula]

Now when it comes to create, this is my best one

Mallards copy

[jagged nacelle]

Not really. The color, yes bc it was inspired by the British. It was built in 1937

But Mallard was built in 1938

[feral yew]

Boredome Railroad (BDR) Class P-1 (internal designation: BCA-3)

The BDR P-1 was a class of 80 4-6-2 pacifics built for the Boredome Railroad, they were numbered 5000 - 5079. They were some of the most powerful pacifics ever built, being able to handle 13 - 15 car passenger trains at a steady 80 mph/129 km/h or haul a 50 car freight train at 60 mph/97 km/h. The reason they could handle all of this is they are very free steaming, which makes it easy to take advantage of their 280 psi/1.93 MPa boilers. They also had boosters on their trailing truck, because why not? Also surprisingly maneuverable, not too uncommon to see them performing heavy switching.

Unfortunately, their versatility, speed, and power couldn't save them. All except one was scraped. P-1 #5059 is the sole surviving member. She's been given a name, Penny. The P-1 class did have a nickname, not a pretty one though. They were nicknamed Hell Raisers, why? Because they sounded like hell itself when worked hard, so loud they were obnoxious, sickening even.

Some crews said they were alive, they're not but it is believed that there were souls trapped in a few; Including Penny. A few P-1s got special paint jobs, not Penny; She's worn her Boredome black all her life. Penny is in operational condition and has hauled not only excursion but also a few fast freights, she's not done yet.

That's all there is, for now, about the Boredome Railroad's P-1 class, also known as the 5000 class, also known as Hell Raisers.

[bronze idol]

tried recreating one of my model trains, this is my second locomotive i have made from my own trains and i think it came out decently

[crisp ravine]

Because I need a whistle

[primal echo]

If I may ask, what decorative / building mods do you use here (especially that headlight)

[green iron]

Oops,All pretty n pink

[gusty skiff]

i mainly use Pretty in Pink but the smokebox is made of Armerours Workshop

Paperboardman made the part

oh and the bogeys are from Blocks & Bogies

[snow patrol]

Well it atleast looks good and the person building it probably enjoyed it

that's what matters the most

1 enjoyment
2 looking good

[green iron]

It does

Snowplow

[heady pelican]

Snow blower or plow depends on where u are from

[lunar mesa]

that’s definitely not a prr k4

[gusty skiff]

nah it is

[lunar mesa]

the front is completely different
doesn’t have any k4 features

genuinely does not look like a k4

[gusty skiff]

actually dont give a fuck.

[lunar mesa]

okay

i mean it’s not a k4 so i wouldn’t call it that

u can build a train & not refer to it by a specific class

[gusty skiff]

so what would be ur ''K4''

[lunar mesa]

lamp mounted above the smokebox, slimmer boiler, raised power reverse on the left side

bell is also on top of the boiler behind the smokestack

mine is the post-war version w the dynamo on the front of the smokebox & the lamp specifically on top of the boiler instead of above the keystone number plate

there r two preserved k4s & lots of photographs & videos available

1361 is also currently being restored

these were the most built locomotive in the us, with around 1k

[gusty skiff]

well i dont have AW parts where everything is the right way

[lunar mesa]

well u can use non AW parts, or try to make some urself

u can also go in & modify bigt’s using the armorer block if u want

they have all the right components, just not necessarily in the right places

[gusty skiff]

okay i absolutely suck at AW

[lunar mesa]

i have a tutorial in this server somewhere

#lets-talk-trains message

here

[gusty skiff]

oh well i already have a tutorial, i just really suck at making parts

tbf my trains arent really made to look real

i mean its still just a block game after all

[lunar mesa]

true, but it’s kinda hard to label something that doesn’t look like a prr k4 as a prr k4

[gusty skiff]

i mean everybody has their own design

[lunar mesa]

right but there’s sorta a line between building something with n actual photographed appearance, and just building something that doesn’t really look like the thing you’re claiming it does

you can build your own trains without a proper basis for em ,

or i’d look into doing locos that fit the aw parts u use

the prr has a very distinct style for its locos

& trying to recreate them if ur not able to properly represent them is kinda eh?

there’s skipping details for the sake of simplicity or style, that’s all well n good

and ur allowed to say “this is what my interpretation of a k4 would be if i were to redesign one” & u can go into more of ur design philosophy

or even “this is the fictional unbuilt k6”

Your UP engine is insane

[oblique mural]

Cute :)

See actaully the issue I'm having is that I'm in a bit of dilemma with the length of the engines. The UP engine is my second engine ever built, the CSX is the first one i built for this gauge. I'm not sure whether the UP looks stubby or the CSX one is just too long for a 3 block train (i come from 5 blocks not too long ago)

[oblique mural]

AYYY another UP engine. This one looks more industrial, which is nice :D

But y'all give me your opinion on whether the length of the UP or the CSX is better to stick with

[heady pelican]

wydm by length?

[lone fern]

Thank you!

What does your CSX engine look like?

[oblique mural]

It's the blue one in the image

[lone fern]

I see the birds-eye-view

[oblique mural]

Yea one sec lemme find some more

[oblique mural]

In the third image, the blue engine is a few blocks longer than the yellow, which one looks better?

[lone fern]

If you have a side profile of it then that would be great

I think the CSX engine is more to scale, but the UP engine is more coherent to Minecraft, less intrusive in the sense that you don’t have a behemoth of an engine strolling around, rather a smaller one that fits in a little better

[oblique mural]

Exactly what I was thinking

[soft trout]

i heard we posting csx

[oblique mural]

Oh this was the inspiration for my engines!

[lone fern]

Paper do you have a side profile of yours

[soft trout]

[frosty badger]

ye ofc! I just think it could really flourish with the slighest bit more of palette variety

otherwise I say give yourself a pat on the back 👍

[gusty skiff]

fair, but i kinda locked myself in using only PnP blocks

[frosty badger]

oh well even then, you've got some nice blocks to utilize I think!

[gusty skiff]

yea

[frosty badger]

this whole part in particular could have maybe 1 or 2 break ups with a different block
up to you if wanna do that tho, I won't force!!

[gusty skiff]

actually i might do that

would this be better?

[frosty badger]

I'd say tone it done a little bit, just so it's variety can match with the rest of the engine

[gusty skiff]

okay ty

a texture pack which i have no clue where to find, same with the more polygonal wheels (basicaly instead of 8ths its like 32ths or smthn like that to make it seem more round, love it but idk where to find it)

and i still don't know whether the brassless bogies pack i found is teacup's reuploaded or just an entirely different brassless bogies pack...

im so happy design and decor is back for 1.20.1 🥲

I see it’s been finally updated for the floodlights to work

[gentle pier]

yea i think they fixed the issue from 1.21.1 where bolts and frontlights disappeared when disassembling the train

[mellow thunder]

I was thinking more so about how they fixed the factor that floodlights needed a full block face to be placed

In the newest version

But it seems that’s no longer the case and it’s back to what it used to be

[wary niche]

can that even drive?

[snow patrol]

best tank engine I've ever made and best passenger coach I've ever made

[gentle pier]

it can actually

it barely fits a seat and controls

I ask cause I built a train like that but it didn't work cause I kept gluing the tracks

[wild glen]

[silver cloak]

you cannot glue the tracks to the train

if you make a glue box including tracks the tracks will just not be assembled

[wary niche]

yeah I know

my problem is I couldn't glue my train cause I kept gluing the track

when I didn't want to

[silver cloak]

you cannot glue tracks
it is physically impossible to glue tracks

[fluid atlas]

create unlimited lets you glue them to contraptions on newer versions but i havent played around with it very much

[silver cloak]

ah

in that case just glue around the tracks

[wary niche]

dawg

the problem is the train is so low that trying to glue it also grabs the track too

[gusty skiff]

u cant assemble tracks

[snow patrol]

It doesn't matter

tracks don't assemble with trains

unless it actually happens theyn you should only glue stuff that is near tracks

[silver cloak]

then dont glue in 1 single section

[ripe raft]

Wait nvm, immediately thought up a design improvement

First locomotive = best locomotive until proven otherwise. Decided to start small with a 4-4-0 American inspired locomotive.

I'll probably make changes to it through tomorrow, considering it was designed from 2-3AM

[silver cloak]

please lower your fov when you take screenshots

[ripe raft]

Fair, I forget earth Quaker or whatever its called gives other people nausea

[silver cloak]

also random fictional express engine

[upper flower]

it’s not rlly that… it’s more that we can’t really see the engine

if you stand further away and lower your FOV to 30, or even zoom in with a mod, you can get images that fit the whole engine

eg:

[fluid atlas]

do you like steam locos now or something

[ripe raft]

Yea I was just in third person and snapped the first photo that included the mountain for scale

[silver cloak]

yes
i like them now

[ripe raft]

I'll be sure to actually photograph properly next time

Ty

[silver cloak]

also funnily enough the engine is not allowed to run without cars attached unless specific conditions are met as the signaling instruction requires a red light to be present marking the back end of the train

[fluid atlas]

good

[upper flower]

me when red light on tender

[fluid atlas]

just realised this is a pacific with a extended 0-6-0
you could probably get away with it being a 4-6-0 and not having too much overhang

[silver cloak]

i prob could get away with it yes but i felt like pacific

[silver cloak]

well its debatable whether 1 or 2 red lights are required

[upper flower]

me when you scould still just put 2 red lights on the tender

[silver cloak]

yes but i did not put them on the tender

[bronze idol]

not a good look at the lovo but its a US style 0-6-0 with some hoppers
im trying to make a mine inside a big cave i found and this is what i have so far lol

[ripe raft]

My modpack makes superflats spaz out

and generate as just regular terrain

I've tried before to fix it, I gave up about 6 months ago

[spare horizon]

If you're running Terralith, you need to disable it before loading a super flat.
That usually works for me.
Probably the same for any similar terrain gen mod.

[tough orchid]

if i disable Terralith it should work or would i need to disable Biomes O' Plenty and others like that too

[spare horizon]

Just Terralith I think.

[ripe raft]

The last time I tried this it loaded a 16 chunk radius of superflat terrain, then everything past it was normal

I'll try again though, life has taught me that when someone else suggests the same solution you tried implementing, it'll work the second time

[spare horizon]

I only recall this happening if I re-enable Terralith after creating the superflat.

The best fix is probably rendering out a good chunk of the world so you don't need to worry about Terralith's world gen inserting itself into the rest of your map.

[runic shuttle]

Hope these would be considered good.

[real ether]

the shapes are great, but the texturing needs some work

[runic shuttle]

What would your advice there be, then.

[upper flower]

use something thats not black slashed locometal

anywhere

[runic shuttle]

I've already done that all over it, though.

[upper flower]

yeah its ALL black slashed locometal

so while the shape is there

texturally, colourwise, its not very interesting

adding some other blocks in the mix would help it greatly

[runic shuttle]

Alright, are you just not zooming in at all because this thing is covered in locometal boilers.

[upper flower]

eg:

ITS ALL LOCOMETAL

it doesnt matter what kind... its all black locometal

[runic shuttle]

Well then say that lol

deepslate, industrial iron, steel, blackstone, scorchia

[snow patrol]

hey guys does this belong in thread about locomotives

[silver cloak]

is that an emu or a locomotive

[wary niche]

took that feedback after making titan v1 for v2

replied to the wrong message

but you get it

[green iron]

Electric Indian Locomotive WAG-7 Tigerface

[dreamy cobalt]

Uhm.. question. I see that you used more bogeys.. how do you get past the bogey limitations without making it turn weirdly?

[runic shuttle]

It does turn weird, but it turns in a realistic manner.

In reality, the train I based it off of articulates such that the boiler assembly swings around

As such.

And an example of what that looks like on a real train (model, of course)

[upper flower]

it helps if you build realistically sized curves for your realistically sized engines too yea

[runic shuttle]

Yea

There's nothing you can do to save yourself around minimum scale corners.

Even the bogeys begin to cry.

[upper flower]

anything longer than a large 6 or an extra large 0-4-0 and yeah they clip on minimum radius curves

0-6-0(P/S)T for the win ngl

[dusk tundra]

this is my best steam engine so far

[snow patrol]

locomotive

[oblique mural]

What type of bogies are those for the carriages

[snow patrol]

Medium single axles

2 of them for "one" bogey

[oblique mural]

So how .. how does that work? How do you keep them together

[silver cloak]

glue smartly

[real ether]

gloo

[silver cloak]

the copycats+ fake bogey structures are attached to the outer bogies, the carriage body to the inside bogies

so what looks like 1 carriage is 3 in reality

[oblique mural]

Oh so the bogie "bends" on curves

Makes sense

[snow patrol]

they arent fake bogeys

those structures are part of bogeys you can't just call them fake 😭

[silver cloak]

they are fake in the technical sense

not in the asthetic one

[snow patrol]

programming sense

technically they're still part of bogeys

they're glued to the side of bogeys

[silver cloak]

technically they are part of the first carriage

[jagged nacelle]

ED250

[snow patrol]

Programming technically

[runic shuttle]

I will truly never understand this sort of thing because, well.

Sometimes they just are like that.

[real ether]

i promise you all black locos can be not all locometal

[runic shuttle]

I mean, I guess if I really wanted to I could.

But locometal has a lot of variety already and literally perfectly fits the bill.

Shiny jet black riveted metal.

Just seems weird to treat it universally like a shortcoming rather than a definite choice.

[real ether]

so basically

[runic shuttle]

I'm unsure what you're trying to say.

All I am saying is that all locometal can fit sometimes.

[silver cloak]

this is clearly blackstone and scorchia

[ripe raft]

yea you aren't wrong

They aren't disagreeing with you from a strictly utilitarian perspective, they're disagreeing with you from the perspective of a minecraft builder

Does it make sense to have your castle feature wool in its walls for texturing? No.

Do builders do it? Yes.

Does locometal fit as a functional material for transcribing locomotive shine? Yes.
