Who does not like trains?

[Spyler.X 625]

I'm creating a rail system, it's not easy.
To do this first you have to tame the ylands cars

                                                           Kit small rail train- https://ylands.net/asset/361

 

but hey, in the end I managed to do something 

more taming of cars ylands I could not put more than two wagons

from here, it can only improve

and maybe someday ...

talking about roller coasters I did some test with this

 

I still have not managed to put it completely horizontal ...

Interesting - do the "tracks" guide the steering or do you have to actively steer the "train" along the path of the track?

the rails guide the vehicle, except in the 10º and 15º curves that need a little assistance with more than two wagons.

I'm finished some details to put a simple model in the workshop

 

[Spyler.X 625]

good of everything I've done so far this is what has cost me more but the result has been pretty good.

This is the first version I have made it very simple so that you can experiment with it and decorate it to your liking.
Use the least amount of blocks so that no performance problems.

And the assembly is quite simple. The only thing, the curve sections, you have to adjust them manually, you can create the composition of the complete curve in the editor to be able to use it later more easily. But keep in mind that the editor still gives some problems with large compositions.

With the 5º rail and smaller trains with two wagons you can go forward and backward. with more cars just forward.
I do not recommend going backwards in the 10º and 15º can get stuck.

With one-way routes and large trains in the 10º and 15º curves you will have to attend the curve from time to time with the direction.

I'm improving the system, I'm getting less friction in the corners to increase the speed.

 

I am also leaving a conduit in case you want to put an electrical system

I hooked two ships together to make like a cruise boat, there is an obvious quarter block gap that opens an closes while underway. I think I can hide this for the most part. My biggest issue is that even with six engines, this thing crawls about reverse speed trying to drag the other ship.

Have you experimented with this?

not much. I tried to transport a small boat but the ship's direction was affected so I left it.

But I can tell you that for example in cars it does not accept more than four cars in a row if they are linked, however, when putting mobile connections, it allows you to put whatever you want.
I am finishing polishing the train and I have achieved a fully functional system.
look at this connection gives a lot of freedom when maneuvering maybe you can serve.

But I'll try later with the boats

 

 

[Spyler.X 625]

mm well I have two questions.
Does anyone know why it will not let me edit the model of the workshop? other times I did not have any problem.
and how do you prefer the models one by one or as they are now?

[Spyler.X 625]

for those who have tried the other one they will love it

The new system is finished It is fully functional.

 For now only the straight line and the 5º curve are the ones that work best. I'll put the rest later.
The system is already fully functional in both directions. Just need a push to change direction you can see it in the test shown in the video.
The wagons are separable and the rails have conduits for electricity.
  The model is simplified so that they decorate your taste and be more fluid. Over time I will make a decorated version.
And of course I'll keep doing tests to see how far you can go with this.

*warning: the noise that collisions make is hellish 

since I have not been able to edit the workshop model, I have reloaded them. I've deleted the old ones because they will not be very functional. Sorry for the inconvenience

I have optimized the 5º curve by reducing the number of blocks a lot, the rendering has also been improved since the blocks of 1 are the main causes.

Also say that I'm experiencing some problems to update the editor version so wait a bit to build big curves
I will wait for a response from the developers. if this is delayed I will upload them together with some more elements.

Does it move any faster if you engage propulsion on the second vessel?

Same question for the OP's train set up - you mentioned this system only works with a limited number of cars attached, if you add some additional powered cars, does it increase the capacity?

No, you can only engage propulsion on one vessel.

That has been thoroughly tested I believe. 

[Spyler.X 625]

I'm in a hurry, so I'll try later, meanwhile ...

[Baz Foobar 102]

Attach some explosives on the rear and detonate it at the peak!

putting motors on the other cars does not work. maybe you could try that with two drivers at the same time.

I have managed to drag up to 6 wagons without losing much speed.
You can add enough engines to get more speed, the short cars are faster and work better in more closed corners.
the long wagons the best size ratio functionality that I have got is 3 cars with 4 and it is only possible to put a wagon for a reasonable speed.

* At some point I will make a detailed explanation of all this

I'll try it with big vehicles. Maybe there is some difference

Well, it has always been said that the third time is the good one. 

I have finished the small train model in its most simplistic version, designed so that everyone can use it without problems.

The result has been really good is very easy to build, it could be built in survival mode with some adjustments. But do not be fooled for sure that a future we can improve the system.

It has not been possible to update the workshop model so I have raised it again. Again, apologize to those who already downloaded it.

This will be the definitive version of this model,... I will not erase it again I promise 

Rail train: https://ylands.net/asset/361

This includes several via models:
straight
curve 5º L, R
curve 10º L, R
crossroads
5º rise slope
5º downhill slope

I'm also making a model for big cars that I'll upload too.
although you really just have to separate the rails to get this.

And I will do some tests with the trains and upload the car models that work best

now you can make your train tracks as big as you want 

[Baz Foobar 102]

Wow, I just watched the video.  As impressive as I thought it was before, it's even better to see it in action.  The coupling solution is genius and I'm impressed at how well everything moves together and stays within the tracks.  You are a god among men, @spyler.1989 - well done!  Muy bueno!

[Spyler.X 625]

haha thank you very much Baz Foobar
I was also surprised at how well everything worked 

[Spyler.X 625]

I was appreciating these beautiful cars and I thought I should look for a suitable place for them.

So the first thing I needed was a door worthy of a garage.
It occurred to me to make a sliding door, taking advantage of the train.
It works very well, plus it can be made as big as you want.

 

 

wonderful car SyxtySyx 

I already read some post that the doors were small hehe 
I would like that in the future, we put some kind of engine with which to make these systems, without having to use cars.

[Spyler.X 625]

I think it's more than enough. 
They could practically build a village for the whole server mounted on the train

I'm also doing some missing sections of the train tracks.
