NEVER give an engineer a toy train set...

Tracks is a toy train set builder with seemingly no limits, except your own patience (and PC hardware...). I built a toy train track that is 100% pure insanity...

[@BirnieMac1]

I think they added the speed limit because of RTgame building a particle accelerator

[@cat1554]

I think the limit is because the boosters are too far apart in this case.

[@BirnieMac1]

​@@cat1554 neat, cheers man! Seems like you're a bit more versed than me NGL - did they actually impose any limitation since then? or is this apparent limit just a manifestation of that booster spacing like you said? It sounds way more plausible to be the booster spacing than them taking grievance with a youtuber making a particle accelerator yknow?

[@renakunisaki]

This definitely seems like the kind of game where the devs would see someone build a particle accelerator and say "nice!" rather than "oh no!"

[@SylviaRustyFae]

I didnt get to exp that as a child, and even had i, i dont have memory before age 11 for reasons... And yet, this video still did the same for me. RCE convinced me to ask my fiance to get me the game (im prty much a sugar baby lol; horrible start to my life, but what seems to be the middle of it is awesome indeed :3) and ive alrdy gotten the childlike joy of just buildin to my hearts content and then ridin the train around and gettin to exp it as if im small enuf to fit in the train :3 I actually made a tunnel that literally took ppl like five ft and then to make it look right i spawned like a hundred rocks to fill it in so it looked like there was a mountain in my bedroom xD The toybox available in this game is incredible and im lovin it even on Switch; the port is a true 1 to 1 port. They didnt even bother tryin to shoehorn in touch controls, but instd have just a rly user friendly control scheme (same as they have on xbox prty much) that condenses the whole keyboard into the gamepad. I was shocked that the switch version looks feels and plays akin to the steam version tho. Im very used to bad ports like cookin sim (just the worst port ever) so it was unexpected but rly happy for here Bein able to paint your train and even make it look like the train paint has worn from use is **chefs kiss** perfection If ya wanna feel like a kid again, and ya love trains (trains are a special interest to me and i am the person who always has to say "Train!" even just to myself when i see a train in the wild, parked or movin); this game is 100% a perf choice for you Oh yeah and its on sale rn at least on steam and switch; id guess xbox too :3

Ah, wooden train sets! Known in my locality by the brand name Brio. First my older brother, and then I, had the privilege of a really good extensive set of this stuff, including several pieces my Dad and Grandad made to go with it, including: extra lengths of track; lathe-turned trees; a harbour/quayside section with lighthouse, tugboat, container ship and fishing boat; the row of houses in Conwy that includes the smallest house in Britain; a 5-carriage Intercity 125; a diesel shunter, and Jodrell Bank radio telescope with control building - all convincingly made in the Brio style! Testament to my Dad's and Grandad's uncommon generosity with their woodworking skills. Still have it all, too. Major sentimental value!

[@DarraghD-ww6th]

[@Finetales]

I had a ton of Brio trains like this as a kid. My dad liked woodworking so he went crazy making tons of custom tracks that I could use with the ones we had. He made some crazy tracks (an 8-way intersection) and a lot of really useful tracks with male-male or female-female connectors. I remember making layouts with 3 levels that wound over and around each other like in this video. Was quite the challenge for the motorized locomotives.

I had a big box of BRIO (wooden trains & track sets) that my dad got me as a toddler - and it was hands-down my # 1 favorite toy. Over the decades, I’d been saving it to one day pass on to my _own_ kids, a milestone made even more important with the unexpected passing of my dad a few years back… Unfortunately, the train set got STOLEN from the storage area in my apartment building a few years ago! I was (and still am) devastated by the loss. I appreciate this video, it brought back some great memories :) As an aside, if anyone has info on a big box of BRIO train stuff floating around that may have “recently materialized” in Western New York, please let me know!!

I bought several of these wooden track sets for my girls when they were young. We would spend hours building tracks all over the living room or their bedrooms and have a grand old time with it all. Nothing like what RCE did here but still a lot of building. I think towards the end of having the set, it filled a box that was 2' x 2' x 3' so (to me at least) a LOT of track. And when they outgrew it, I gave it all to a friend who had two boys and heard they also added to the set.

As someone who had one of these wooden train sets, lets just say they require overengineering to account for gravity.

Imagine you are waiting on the train on a usual workday. Your usual horde of engineers is pressing you into other engineers like every other day. Then the typically sized train comes like every day. You get in - probably not the first few ones but definetely in the first half. Then you wait, checking your phone and already begining to work. You can see the usual tracks ahead - the great corkscrew created by the big engineer - and up the train goes. After some while working you look out of the window. You see that you are still in corkscrew and going up. But you also see a problem: The locomotive which is pulling your train just flew by - and its taking all the passengers waggons with it. Do not worry though because you are also an engineer and engineers have solutions: You waggon wont fall down due to the locomotive reaching the bottom while most of the train is still on the track and it stopped. You are safe and can complete your neverending work. What a wonderful happy end :)

[@hockeyhacker97]

13:15.... My best guess as to what happened is the same thing that happened to the bridges, the source block of the rail despawns when you are too far away as to prevent lag of having things loaded that you can not see and so once the train got to a distance from you that the rails were no longer loaded it thought there was no track left and fell, the reason why the train didn't despawn is because you were still near the back end of the train keeping it from despawning but you were too far away from the track to have the track loaded into memory.

At 12:17, you said the Concorde increased in size during supersonic flight. However, it was not due to the speed itself. As an aerospace engineer talking to a colleague engineer, I would like to inform you that due to the extreme velocity, the minimal viscosity of air particles was enough to create a lot of friction on the surface of the aircraft. Due to the metal's thermal expansion, the aircraft slightly increased in length. No worries for the explanation 🙂, ps. keep architects away from aerospace, they are only useful for sci-fi movies.
