I built a STEAM TRAIN in Minecraft Create Mod!

[@AVoiceForRadio]

Y'know, I made this suggestion in the last world, but I can definitely see it fitting in even better as part of a theme park. Since Create has liquid chocolate, you could absolutely make a chocolate factory and theme it to look like a Santa's Workshop area, surrounded by snow and decorative winter theming, complete with a gingerbread train.

[@lotus7175]

Omg that would be so cute and cozy. Please do it 🙏

[@Supinator-iu8fs]

With Alex's Caves (they recently added a candy themed biome with gingerbread men) it would look cool as heck

for your next ride, maybe build a wizard tower that is a drop tower with a phantom farm. Could be a good idea for a smaller ride

[@squibitbessy7382]

I was honestly having a panic attack, I put this on to try to distract myself, that peaceful cinematic log ride actually helped me calm down. Lovely ride, great video as always.

[@cellbuilder2]

If you swap out the rear bogey on the locomotive for one of the triple ones, you essentially have a shortened and painted version of an American-made Shay geared logging locomotive. Their special quirk is that they use gears and axles instead of pistons and rods to transfer the engine power to the wheels, enabling them to climb slopes under load that most other engines couldn't even dream of. You could almost call them the steam equivalent to diesels for this reason, but with even more torque. About 5 of them live at the Cass Scenic Railroad in West Virginia to this day, where they are shown off yearly as a group.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

There's also an intact example at the El Portal Transportation Museum in California, though it HAS seen better days and doesn't really run anywhere.

😂Tell me you're a train nerd without *saying* you're a train nerd:

[@shadedalion5478]

Train name time: Ol' Steamer. It's simple and even a reference! It's a reference to Mario Party 2. On the Western Land Board of the game there is a sentient train named Steamer who will go along the tracks of the board. This board recently got a remaster in Mario Party Jamboree as did Steamer! He sports the EXACT same colors as your train, being a Green and Black locomotive with Red passenger cars. Steamer also moves people around the board to get to where they need to go, just like your train would take them to and from the park. Plus, y'know, it's a STEAM train. And Ol' Steamer just sounds so inviting! "All aboard Ol' Steamer!!!" Fun and Whimsical! It's a bit of an obscure reference, but a fitting one nonetheless

[@KrispyKalamari]

I really like this!

[@racinracerxp8645]

A great name and a fun reference how nice

[@championgaming-g4t]

I am not reading a whole paragraph just for a reference

[@shadedalion5478]

@championgaming-g4t then read the first sentence

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

For the station, you could always just have the locomotive stop past the station, so only the carriages are in the platform. And if that's not enough, only one door of each carriage really *has* to be in the station, so they can stick out either end.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

Use flywheels or something to replace your missing train bogey. They don't spin but if it's round it will look pretty good from a distance.

21:38 in Steam and rails theres double bogeys with those large wheels, you can just use one of those

[@MrBeardstone]

I shall have a look!

[@ianbroughton7074]

​@@MrBeardstone I think you could also make the rear bogey on the engine its own "carriage" instead of glueing it to the locomotive. Just glue it to a single block on its top attached separately from the main assembly.

[@SCAXRailfan]

​@@MrBeardstone Hey Mr. B, You Made A Train Naming Mistake, You Have To Rename 2 Trains 1. The "Steampunk Choo Choo" Is Not The Correct Name, It Should Be Renamed As "Aeronautica Cargo" 2. The "Trainy Train" Is Not The Correct Name, It Should Be Renamed As "Emerald Odyssey Express"

[@hyrulechampion5451]

The Emerald Odyssey is my vote for a train name.

[@gdragonlord749]

Now the park needs an Emerald City wizard region to hide the power plants and resource generation. Pay no attention to the mechanical strawmen behind the cog curtains.

[@HomieAtHome]

Hey Mr. Beardstone, I believe adding passengers to the log flume and having people on the paths would greatly enhance the park's atmosphere. It's essential to implement a bus or tram for elderly visitors and those with disabilities, as the current train station isn't wheelchair accessible. Creating overall and specific maps for the park would improve navigation and would add decoration. Additionally, installing trash bins, ATMs, and bathrooms would enhance the realism of your park. You should also consider barracks for staff in the future. Lastly, a horror section in the Nether, featuring lava, blaze, wither skeleton, hoglin, and gold farms, could attract a diverse crowd and provide a thrilling experience!

[@SirNeko_07]

The problem with the bogeys at 21:19 might be able to be solved by using a certain glue trick... or you could check the extra bogey styles for a longer set of connected driving wheels :)

[@shimesu443]

I've got steam coming out of my ears right now. You mean, I built this HUGE multilevel mineshaft to create a metal farm FOR the zinc, and all I had to do was make scoria? Which can be made via a cobblestone generator with chocolate instead of water? Excuse me while I go scream... *wanders off* WHY didn't it show me that! WHY???

[@prof-quack]

You should call your train the “Verdant Express”.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

Not that it matters really, but Tenders don't have buffers or a knuckle usually to connect to the engine. In most media I've seen and in real life it's usually some form of draw bar that's just linking the two together to provide a closer connection. I usually use the copycat steps or some form of quarter block similar to them to make a half block gap between the loco and tender to give it a more realistic appearance. Bonus points if you glue the engine in parts and not all at once and add some form of board that goes over the small gap to allow smooth passage. The gap would still be there, visible from the side, but covered on top. Also, genius use of the mechanical piston to basically use a poor man's world edit. I completely forgot that was a thing because the piston push limit is absurd with those things. I was gonna suggest using world edit to copy-paste the structure, but I just completely forgot that the pistons could do stuff like that. Literally moving mountains.

[@slidingarchitecture]

Love the train. That green and red colour combo is so satisfying, but my favourite bit of the episode has to be moving that massive chunk of land with a piston. Create is ridiculous sometimes but amazing

[@carracerv1522]

I think what you cold do for the train station (looking at it from the entrance) is: extend the tracks over a small bridge. That would give you a reason to continue the station without too much extra work, and open an opportunity for a river or obstacle for the bridge to go over. Finally, that would play into the rule of thirds from the entrance perspective. That contrast from slope on the left and bridge in the right would add some nice intrigue and character.

[@lizzfrmhon]

Inside the mountain is my most favorite of Beardy’s builds. So awesome and fantastical.

[@MichaelWeber5237]

You really didn't have to extend the station back, the engine and coal tender cars can be out past the station, that's fairly common with only the passenger cars actually pulling up to where the station platform is.

[@p6ths]

Here’s a suggestion, add villagers from different biomes with different professions sitting on the train seats as passengers. 👨🏻‍🍳🧑🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🔧🚂

[@rhysburge4017]

I've seen you do some weird, crazy but often wonderful things...but I think watching you push a hill with a piston, frankly, takes the cake 😂😂😊

[@alan0493]

I think a suspension bridge , like the Humber bridge would look awesome

[@NissilleChristian]

For your wooden attraction : the boats could go down one more block when they arrive in the water after a big slope and come back up further. It might make a nice effect. And add a few looking up fans for a splash effect. Great videos :)

[@larcek.giglamesh]

here's me imaging GoodTimesWithScar walking through the theme park at some point, enjoying the view, and maybe adding some more details. :D

[@williamreid4577]

for the big bridge you could always build up a small island or land mass in the middle point of the two islands and have two identical bridges connect to it from either side to make the the cross connection a little less comically large. could even put a little water tower in the center two.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

The train was honestly pretty great before you removed the wheel set. As someone who likes making trains with more than two, you can actually make it work. You need to make sure one of your bogies is glued to a block, but isn't attacted to the rest of the locomotive. This would actually be really easy to do with the bogie under the cab, because you already have a floor over it to hide the shenanigans. You just need to carefully do the glueing so that the bogie is glued to that industrial iron block behind it and nothing else, and every other block is glued together and to the two driving wheels at the front. That will also make the wheels act more realistically, with the trailing truck sliding beneath the locomotive, and the locomotive pivoting around it's fixed wheel base.

[@MrBeardstone]

Interesting idea!

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

@@MrBeardstone It works well. I've made a couple locomotives that way.

[@dragonmaster_95]

Afaik there can only be 8 "stream":true sounds at a time (and of those only 4 instances can be of the same sound). Basically all default sounds that are longer than a couple seconds are usually set to stream, else it would freeze/lag when it tries to load the whole sound at once

[@SteamLance]

You probably don't need to extend the platforms, as long as the coaches fit in then having the loco in the platform doesn't matter. Sometimes long trains would have to stop twice at the same platform anyway

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Just as a heads up, Beardstone, but I think it'd make sense for the railroad to have a repair shop either in the park itself or on the way to the industrial island. (Which would allow the perfect opportunity to play around with more Create stuff, to boot.) Details like these go a long way into making a piece of infrastructure like a railroad feel real, which also enhances atmosphere.

[@greenjackle]

Well the age ole question. Which should be done first. A train station or train. Train so you know how big the stations need to be. I really liked your train and everything. Make the Golden Gate Bridge.

[@snikibiki1337]

I think you could use "Create: Pattern Schematics" to build the bridge. You just need to build one segment, and the contraption will replicate it along the entire length of the bridge. It’ll make your work easier, and luckily, the bridge doesn’t have any curves, so it should be a straightforward task.

[@CommanderNull01]

For the name of the train, how about "The Green Lancer"? It has a classic, regal feel that suits the vintage charm of a steam train and the green and black colour scheme. The "Lancer" also evokes a sense of strength and speed, perfect for a theme park attraction! Alternatively, "The Maroon Marauder" could work well, with a nod to the mangrove carriages and an adventurous vibe.

[@dwr1001]

Love your builds, and dont let anyone tell you that your train stations are too high

[@zwartdude]

You don't need to extend the station you just need to move the stop point forward. The engine and the tender don't need to access the platform just the passenger cars.

[@Razsiel89]

Great episode as always, still think the log flume 'lifts' would look good if you added belts directly next to the tracks on either end (tracks only occupy the middle block-space), you tried on top before, but not on both sides. They don't even -need- to be spinning to look more immersive.

[@flapjaaak]

What a neat bit of Create engineering by moving that mountain with a piston! Such a cool mod and series!

[@CalAdv]

Mr BeardStone What if you could get a red stone signal off the train somewhere at the top of the downhill slope out of the mountain and time it that once it hits the water at the bottom you have some all white fireworks explode in the water to give off water mist! Mixed with the audio it could be amazing!

[@Hmlake8]

It always amazes me how well Mr. Beardstone can build. Your builds are absolutely amazing and beautiful. He inspired me to start my own Minecraft world and I told myself that I wouldnt use any tutorials for my builds but trust my instinct and inspiration for them. I think a cool name for the train Ironwood Express!!!

[@fettbricks0258]

Depending on your launcher, I’d recommend adding Extended Bogeys to your modpack! It’ll allow more wheel options at different sizes for your locos

[@Evil.Zeraphir]

21:30 To have 3 wheel segments for my locomotives, personally I divide them into 2 pieces, the 1st and the second segment are glued together, and the 3rd at the rear of the locomotive, the two parts are therefore not glued together, and the ' rear is just considered the 1st wagon ! You can try this for your futur train builds I think- 😊

[@henryrodgers7386]

As a nice callout to the movie "Up", might I suggest naming a train the Spirit of Adventure? Sounds suitably impressive for a theme park!

[@iq_belowtoaster5030]

[@Pyrotrainthing]

I like how you unintentionally built the outline of one of my favorite locomotives: A Shay Locomotive (If you wanted that to look closer to one: achange all the wheels to use the same styles of bogie, while real life shays have two-truck bogies, I like the three wheeled bogies yours has to be honest, and lastly, offsetting the boiler to the left & adding piston assembly to the right side near the cab helps but I really this all of this is not necessary for you to do).

If I had one critique of the Log Flume, it would be that the ones I remember being on, when it hits the water after a drop, the crash slows it down drastically. Honestly, that would be the only nitpick I would have. Everything else is fantastic.😁

[@MrBeardstone]

Yeah sadly the limitations of create trains prevent me doing that - the trains speed up and slow down over a few seconds (8 blocks/s I think) so I can't adjust the speed as much as I'd like! Better than nothing though haha
