I Made The Best BIG BOY Train in Minecraft Create Mod!

[@ikermitai]

Finally an actual accurate build for this unit of a machine, cannot wait for the schematic so I can drive in circles all day! Amazing work, thank you for this build!

[@generalross]

Thank you for the kind words😄

@@generalross You're very welcome! Your efforts and quality as a creator deserves so much more, I look forward to the next projects

@@generalross hello can you specify when the schematics will come out maybe even a guess?

[@masonhughes5925]

10:40 that is actually how the big boy turns. Albeit, the connection between the boiler and drivers is on the "leading" section in this time-stamp. The real Big Boy's smokebox (front end) gets some overhang when going around turns, not the back.

[@SouthlandRails]

The real Big Boy articulates around curves very similar to this. In real life, a big boy couldn’t get around that tight of a turn, but in theory it would look almost exactly like this if it tried. There are also mods to extend the curvature of the track to mitigate the absurd turns.

​@Neutronium_bomb hello :3

[@FuelFire]

You could make it better with Extended Bogies as there are actual rod and piston bogies ranging from 2 drivers to 12 drivers

[@generalross]

I tried but extended bogies is very buggy at the moment. So sadly i couldnt really use that

[@theacrsofficial]

I know that you can use Extended Bogeys: Borked mod for Forge and it works. Hope this helps! Also I really love your build!

[@Tonkgerman]

fun fact: the UP Big Boys are originally gonna be call as Wasatch naming after the Wasatch Mountain but unknown ALCO worker scrawled "Big Boy" in chalk on the front of No. 4000's smokebox door since name as bigboy which stuck to among the worker and by the way the bigboy was classified as 4000 class

[@Messier-gq9yl]

10:30 This is how real articulated locomotives turn, which the Big Boy is, so you actually made it correctly the first time

[@generalross]

I know😂 I did it on purpose to keep the shape right. Otherwise it would have looked very weird in minecraft.

[@jameskarg3240]

Again, it is a SICK JOKE that the bogeys that make traction for these locomotives CLEARLY have side-rod attachment points and yet absolutely NOTHING even CAN attach to those points. I love this mod and this build, but those bogeys just vex me EVERY time I see them, it's like they HAD the formula to make it work...but either chose not to follow through, or the mods own functionality hardgates "a blocks own motion-based animations cannot make other attached parts move in motion" Like GAAAAH, ITS RIGHT THERE IN OUR FACES!! XD

[@ThatPilot174]

You should make the full excursion train with all the Union Pacific cars

[@brennanvilcheck9469]

Whats funny is its only called big boy because one worker wrote it on the boiler of 4000, the first of the 25 big boys to be produced. Originally, though this is a rumor, they would be called Wasatch, due to the wasatch range they were designed to go through.

[@tsuaririndoku]

10:54 Big Boy turns similar to the first one turns. First sets of driving wheels are detached from the boiler but not the second sets.

[@generalross]

Yeah I know. The real one had the front 2 bogies separate. But to keep the shape right for this build i decided to do it like this. Otherwise it would have looked really weird 😂

[@Philippinescountry-999]

THATS MY FAVORITE TRAIN❤!!!!!!

[@Philippinescountry-999]

Bro killed the chicken

[@Watsonincorporated]

Great job! I made a Big Boy of my own, it was also pretty hard to glue it together.

[@generalross]

Yes its super hard to glue it together

[@immortlsans99]

Fantastic BIG BOY locomotive. Tho most people get it confused. The locomotive is the engine it's self. The train is what it pulls. Eg. Coaches or goods.

[@pccc5431]

10:30 ........but thats accurate, that *thats literally how the Big Boy articulates itself around a bend (all be it in minecraft looks very exaggerated)*

[@generalross]

I know😂 I went for looks over reality. It looks very strange in minecraft if you let the bogies bend that way

[@ChristianKlasen-mq4rs]

Would love to see a snowpiercer themed create add on for the extra wide rail... Imagine live on that never stopping machine 🤔

[@ianbroughton7074]

Holy moly that's amazing! Could you make the 844? 👉👈

[@generalross]

Thank you! Maybe i will. I will see if i will make more of these trains

[@oleglesnoy9171]

Amazing!!!😍😍🚂🔥🔥

[@generalross]

Thank you!!

[@Bucatini98]

I loved the video, You should build the 2-4-0 no. 16 next

[@generalross]

If i found the right one its a very small train haha. Maybe i will one day😂

[@Bucatini98]

@@generalross its smaller than the big boy, but not really that small. Is it green, with 1 circle windows at the front? Maybe its to small to build. If it is you should really build the union pacific 844 or a yellowstone, although that one might be a version of the big boy. The nevada northern no.40 is really cool its definetly too small to build.

[@ProperDaveXD001]

Would you be interested in building a bayer Garrett? Could such a Loco be built in Create?

[@Capy-bi2sj]

this is absolutely amazing you are so underated

[@generalross]

Thank you😄

[@Neutronium_bomb]

i absolutely love all of these train builds but i would really like to see some kind of industrial tank transport train (those trains that transports tanks)

[@generalross]

I will keep that in mind!

[@jordanfoy5902]

funny enough the big boy engines weighed about 1.2 million pounds or around 600 tons

[@BrickCraftDream]

Amazing job as ever. You should definitely stream building these things live on twitch (Why am I the only person following you there? It has been like this for months)

[@generalross]

Streaming is definitely something i want to do in the future. The channel is ready but i need to make everything work aswel as get to know how to use twitch. So for sure i will do that in the future

[@ฐิตานันท์สุเป็ง]

😮

[@jackgamer6307]

I wish I could build like this. My trains all suck

[@MrEarthMinecraft]

THE BIG BOI🤣

[@josephgibson5981]

Amazing work! If you can, I would love to see the Dreyfuss J3A in a future video.

[@stiches2690]

I got to see the big boy in person and it is huge and loud

[@zfilms4858]

3:30 thank you!, i didnt know about that!

[@MothflavoredJam]

That menu only pops up if you have the Steam and Rails mod installed

[@thelivingcat0210]

11:50 this is actually inaccurate to the real locomotive, the boiler is fixed to the rear 2 sets of boogies and the front 2 should be free floating. in order to not let it overhang too much just use wider curves on the rail.

[@generalross]

Yes i knew that but to prevent it from looking weird with the Minecraft logic i decided to glue it to the middle bogies to preserve its shape

[@thelivingcat0210]

@ fair enough

[@H-townVR]

I’ve seen it irl and have some coins ran over by it

[@1987nightrap]

Steam engines are just the coolest trains

[@generalross]

Agreed

[@potatoman-y9e]

glad i subscribed very cool video

[@generalross]

Thank you so much!

[@frasesaleatorias9107]

actually, in real life the rail curves for this type of train are suuuuuper long xd so, to make the curves less strange for the train you just can make the rail curves more long :D I think you have to press ctrl or another bottom in a long distance do make the curve more smooth other way will just look like an big L. (sorry my english is bad but i dont want to use google translator lol)

[@korbloxudzal3222]

Wow thas a big boy

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

I have a cool suggestion It’s a train from where I live . The uk She is called tornado and was made in 2011 as a re make of the LNER A2 . Search it up and try to built it It’s probably my favourite steam engine ever that I have seen in person cuz it is younger than me that I find kind of funny . Anyways bye and try to build the “Tornado A2 Pacific Locomotive” Bye

Could you try making an sncf class 241a? I have been trying to do the same and was wondering what your take on it would be

Hmmm I will look into it.

Question are u selling schematic of this 😮

Yes I will be. But that’s something I’m working on right now. So it will come soon. All my vanilla builds will always be free to download

[@eliteknight9312]

How do you get more than 2 bogeys?

[@generalross]

You cant. I thought i explained in the video. You can glue up to 2 bogies. Meaning that the remaining bogies act on their own. I explained it in the video

[@boxcatgames537]

you know there a modd for that a train mod

[@Ngocthach7554]

It's look like the Aurora train from Metro exodus gameplay. Except is almost look likes😅

[@generalross]

It kinda looks like it. But alot of trains look like each other 😂

[@MrTrain_4014]

i like the train so you say there is no mod to make the wheels better well there is one tho its just not in curseforge or modrinth

[@generalross]

You got extended bogies but that mod is buggy atm so I couldn’t use that one. You do have some mods that retexture the bogies which could have looked nice but didn’t choose to do that for this video

[@ShiiNaNo.1]

Hey what about eric 2-8-8-8-2 steam train?

[@generalross]

Its almost exactly like the big boy with minor changes. Maybe i will make it we will see.
