If you've been playing SP2 with me recently there's a reasonable chance you've seen this at least once.
Or, at least, its predecessor.
This ancient failed project turned out to be so great for SP2 (being actually made of fuselage walls instead of "hollow" fuselage, thus Chad-friendly) that I revamped it a bit for VR/Chad control.
Is it a clean job? Hell no, but it does work!
It's pretty easy to work out, just stay away from flat surfaces or else it does the dreaded Concrete Dance due to the incredibly high sideways traction.
Have fun kidnapping your friends and strangers!

Tip:
~1% power will maintain speed, ~2% will gradually increase it.
Do not use 100% power unless you plan to floor it like a soccer mom five minutes late to practice.
You may find this difficult to manage using Chad.
Yeah, I know. That's part of the challenge.
Good luck!
Two things:
1. Do not use the parking break when going into the cabin; the input does not exist in SP1 so there is no way to turn it off once in VR/Chad mode.
2. Yes, the light button is tooltipped as Gyro. I just noticed. Goddamnit.
@BYardley @TheLoadingGorilla Mario!
@BYardley lol when I hear “Odyssey “ I think of the epic poem Homer wrote about Odysseus.
Me read "Odyssey", me thinks about this Odyssey, me wrong, me disappointed, me upvote anyway,
Hehe, nice little tren. uses 100% throttle AHHHHH NOT NICE TREN AHHHHH
@YarisSedan This isn't a train in the sense other SP trains are. It's a land vehicle which you have to steer. It was meant to use high sideways traction to get instant, track-like turning, but that didn't really work out and it could never pull anything properly.
It's technologically unrelated to the trains other people make. Like how buses aren't actually trucks but are actually part of the van family, simply looking similar due to convergent evolution.
you making trains is the last thing i expected on my bucket list ngl
Maybe THIS time curation will happen before this thing is two weeks old and long forgotten about...
Okay so at 25kph tops it'll be guided. Past that it'll jump the track.
Good to know.
Funny discovery: This thing's gauge is slightly more than SP2's rail gauge. Unfortunately, it just jumps the track instead of being guided by it. At least, at top speed it does. More testing required.
@Boeing727200F It is VR now.
@GuyFolk In case you don't want to pay the fare again.
