Hmm..... The repost of the winner got removed, even though I credited the creator, and even said that it wasn't mine and Ethan's. Whatever. Railfan Ethan won!
Alright Ethan, the results for your trains test are in...It can pull 67,000 lbs of dead weight, and 2,500 gallons
of fuel, an amazing 3.7 times its own weight! It is a great contester. Leading the current scoreboard.
Thank you for posting the link. @RailfanEthan
Entry
Sorry it wasn't made a successor.
Update: the challenge will no longer be accepting entry's on December 1st.
Also, the design needs to be a predecessor in some way, just make one of the blocks from this on your design. So it is easier for me to keep track of the entry's.
Hope that clears any questions up!
I may not have specified enough! I was using a 4-6-0 type locomotive as an example, explaining what the x-x-x system meant. You are free to make any real or fictional train, when I say it is meant to look real and you wanted to make Thomas, I don't want to see a lime green Thomas, with a giant smokestack, only that it be the right shape and color.
Oh if can why not made a thomas the tank engine
Well, a train challenge in general would be nice. I don't mean to loosen the rules, but it would seem more open if any recreation of a real train was able to participate.
I might give it a go
@jamcastillo The rules have been changed for you! Try again, if it fails, Try once more!
I will also change the rules some for mobile users. To compensate for lesser processing not power. For freight mobile users can have 2 cars. And 3 for passengers. As I have seen that there is some crashes occouring.
Nevermind, my phone crashed after the 3Rd cart and lost everything
I'm in
Eh, why not. Brb after I get something together
Note: Your train may not win if it flies, has the speed of a top fuel dragster, and if it doesn't look like a real train.
