Tbh it's a bit annoying to me. I used to be (and still somewhat am) obsessed with steam locomotives (trains, tractors and trucks) and this train (called the a4 mallard) is a passenger train. Though it's also the fastest steam train in the world (to my knowledge), so you could add seed upgrades. (Edit) when I wrote this I was up to the joke train.
Only you can pull off a train having the turning radius of a lorry hahahah! I love it! Shame the gantry crane was too stubborn to allow you to load the train ''realistically'' :(
Right, this is possibly going to sound a tad odd, but... your content is endearingly reminding me of my dad. The way you talk, the accent, the humor, the jokes, down to the sheer precious joy and enthusiasm regarding the trains is how i'd imagine him play this game and modpack if he were still around. He was a massive massive train enthusiast and built several n-gauge tracks and dioramas over the years, including a rather large track inside my room that he had to take down in bits because it wouldn't fit through the door, sadly. I'm sure he'd've loved to watch your current playthrough together. Nevertheless, I really appreciate your content and wanted to thank you dearly for it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find this bleedin ninja that's cutting onions.
Yea the ninja even cutting onions somewhere near my place too it seems :< . No but for real , that's very touching and made me sad for you... I didn't lose my dad yet but he's a big fan of animals on the other hand , make me think I should tell him about the mod that Foxi uses with all the cute animals in there :D . I think no one is ready to lose someone close to them ... I'am NOT eager for it to happen , but yet it's life ... Anyway, hope you have a great days or night ! And just you know , I'm very sure he's happy that you remember him in such a way 🩷 :] !
now that you have a hobo living in a shipping container, your train yard is complete 😂 i loved hearing about the chaos surrounding this build on your podcast with Slack and am looking forward to more. i hope this series runs for a loooong time. thanx for all your awesome work Foxy!
@twiexcursori Foxy and Slack have a biweekly podcast that is posted on Foxy's 2nd channel Foxy2. It's live on discord every other week and is really fun. 😊
i love how it's based on the british A4 Steam locomotives, they were known, specially by one of them, Mallard for being the World Record taker for steam locomotive top speed, it's funny to see it taking freight since it actually happened once in the lifetime of these engines
very cool train i would say it looks more like the mallard which holds the steam record post ww2 and worked for L N E R (short for London Northern Eastern Railways) as a passenger train and now is at the York railway museum
If only there was a framed vault block that could be used to allow for the creation of train cars that are pretty much all storage without using unnecessary blocks/framed blocks for hiding said vaults. The use of framed stairs, slabs, and slopes is okay, but framed item vaults would be such a cool block.
The decoration was amazing, the loading machinations were crazy, great episode and I can't wait for the movie! You've made everything way too complicated, but it turns out so much more interesting than trivial get-it-done solutions. I do worry about all the framed blocks tho....
Amazing! That A4 class (Mallard) looks awesome! Those copycat blocks really make a difference. As a special request, could you build NY Central's J3A Dreyfuss, Union Pacific's 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, or the English LNER A3 or DRG 01?
The train looks awesome! 😄❤ Shame about the turning radius and the fact that you couldn't do the more "realistic" loading system. 😓 You know, that Shoo-fly just heard you were hiring. No need to resort to murder! 😂
Protip: You can click the keys onto the controller to lock/unlock all connected drawers at once instead of having to repeat it for every drawer individually. They will retain their status even if you remove the controller after.
22:17 The bogey moves with it and looks like a fantastic machine, i didn’t know that was even possible in create!!! I hope folks can make all sorts of cool looking stuff with that trick since it is possible!
If you keep having issues getting into tight spaces, grab the "GoProne" mod. It basically sets things so you can just hit a single keyboard button to go into the 1-block-tall "prone/crawling" position at will, instead of having to rely on trapdoors and stuff.
You should have a thing under the gantry shaft loading area that puts blocks in from underneath the train. It would be fairly simple, youde just have to temporarily remove terrain and glue the top to the bottom with a large empty space. Im not sure if that will work though. (Edit) hadnt seen but thata exactly what you did.
One tip for your tenders, most of the space is actually taken up by the engine's water tank. So the back of the tender is usually just covered up and doesn't have coal it it.
I can't wait for the Create Aereonautic to come out, then all the transportation issue will be fixed by magnets connecting movable containers to other contraptions.
@FoxyNoTail - You can use the quantify/lock keys directly on the drawer controller to lock all drawers! Also use a storage downgrade for the drawers to only allow 1 stack of an item then use upgrades x2 will allow 2 stacks or x3 for 3 stacks etc...
This was indeed a tricky problem. My sollution to it was to uniform my trains and have standard lengths for everything. Have the exchange looking down and chute in what it needs.
This is just something I myself wanted to point out, but I think you should change when you use the Nailed Spruce Wood, and instead of using it every block for the supports, you should use it when there's an intersection, and the rest be just normal spruce. It'd be a nice change and would be less jarring.
The gantry way should work. You only have to fiddle with the timing so that the gantry would stop when every interface meet each other, when stopped it will will be placed and stop being a contraption
@@foxynotailSort of a Life style series, make a set of challenges centered around the create mod. Like junk yard wars, it’s a timed build off. I would add in the complimenting mods in your create series. It can be teams, single, have guest builders, etc. I’m just tossing some ideas out there for the “Mojang will definitely add that to Minecraft” bin.
I am a german train nerd but i got a bit confused about the train. I thought it was the Mallard he built but then he said Sir Nigel Gresley. Thats what confused me. So my question is those are the same locos but with just diffrent names or are they one loco with multiple names? I do know that the companys always built multiple of the same engine but that fact just confused me real hard.
@@nostancenochance782 Same class, but two different locos. Although the color chosen for the build is Mallard’s current Livery, I believe Sir Nigel wore it at one point
Alright, I have a couple of "loopholes"/solutions if you run into a similar situation in the future (correct to my knowledge, but some may not work). "loophole" 1: you can set the gantry system to become a structure when it stops, but this means it no longer has the connected inventory of a contraption, which is why things won't transfer properly, so your inventory *has to* be directly connected to the item interface on the *gantry* side, not the train side. "loophole" 2: you could just build a double item interface (one up, one down) permanently into the structure of the loading station. This means the contraption is offloading to a structure, and the train is loading from a structure. However, this comes with the drawback that the train may get confused about whether or not it's finished loading, so some advanced signaling work may be necessary. "solution" 1: I'm 90+ percent certain that you can actually load item vaults on and off of trains (the real version of what you're simulating). I've seen it done in the past, I'm just not 100 percent on how it was achieved. "solution" 2 (not a solution): use the train station signal to activate the gantry when the train is in the station. It means the gantry doesn't actually load the train, but it will at least be animated as if it were. On another note, I've never thought to use toolboxes for stack limiting items in contraptions, and I'm definitely gonna have to use that. Edit: I commented too soon and you already thought of the gantry moving while the train is loading.
They will still spawn with the shorter night, it might just take a couple extra nights before they will, since the chance to spawn is determined by total amount of time (in ticks) since you last slept. Local difficulty also needs to be high enough (unfortunately, the actual number needed is random), so you probably need to be somewhere that you’ve spent a good amount of time at.
Funnily the steam train you made Mr foxy is an A4 pacific which are the fastest steam locomotives ever made & where passenger locomotives. But i love you made it
Hey Foxy, if you fancy a train that might be more realistic on the corners, you want to try making something akin to maybe a Shay locomotive since it's on actual bogeys?
Watches train back up around the corner *eurobeat starts* watches it start to turn like its drifting **eurobeat intensifies** "Its drifting" MULITRACK DRIFTING??? DEJA VU I JUST BEEN TO THIS PLACE BEFORE HIGHER ON THE STREETS WHOAAAAHHH
my only problem with him using an A4, which im impressed at his knowledge of is that A4s are passenger locomotives and hes using it for freight also, schmatic please

That train is going to make beardstone slightly jealous
He gonna beg him for the schematic
No, beardstone has his own cool train, also beardstone likes a bit of simplicity
Well _I'm_ jealous and slight irritated (read sad?) to see what I assume is a A4 pulling freight, but oh well
i loved Beardy's attempt at Foxy's delorean lol even he couldn't stop himself from laughing

Using toolboxes in your train is a genius idea. Gonna steal that for my own world now❤
You and Beardstone should make a duo create series but keep y'alls singleplayer series!

I agree, BTW, there is one in Canada.
Yep, LNER 4489 "Dominion of Canada"@@BattleshipOrion
He did build that train. Sir Nigel Gresley is the guy who designed the train, not the name of the train.
I was just thinking that! I love the mallard! imagine if he created the tornado!
i know the tornado is a great train@@egg5195
Dang bro that is sick it’s insane what you can do with the create mod
If only there was a framed vault block that could be used to allow for the creation of train cars that are pretty much all storage without using unnecessary blocks/framed blocks for hiding said vaults. The use of framed stairs, slabs, and slopes is okay, but framed item vaults would be such a cool block.
use ctrl when building rails it will make them smooth!
That gantry crane gave me flashbacks to that awful mission in GTAV where you have to work the cranes in Los Santos harbour.
The decoration was amazing, the loading machinations were crazy, great episode and I can't wait for the movie!
You've made everything way too complicated, but it turns out so much more interesting than trivial get-it-done solutions.
I do worry about all the framed blocks tho....
It's actually the sister of the train, The Mallard - that holds the record for fastest steam train.
Nice job. Beardstone is gonna HATE YOU lol
plz build a modern electric train one day
Amazing! That A4 class (Mallard) looks awesome! Those copycat blocks really make a difference.
As a special request, could you build NY Central's J3A Dreyfuss, Union Pacific's 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, or the English LNER A3 or DRG 01?

I had a good idea for you.
You should make some merch with your minecraft skins face on the back and 'oh jeeze' on the front
Like t shirts and hoodies

Thank you very much!

The LNER A4 is a express passenger loco
In the October half term i went to the NYMR to see Sir Nigel Gresley and have a ride. A superb loco in person and you did an amazing job recreating it
One tip for your tenders, most of the space is actually taken up by the engine's water tank. So the back of the tender is usually just covered up and doesn't have coal it it.
the thumbnail and title mix is underrated comedic gold
Super cool train!
It sure is!
A tip for making good looking trains is to end it with a break van or caboose. Great job doing the A4 though!
That train history was rather nice
This train is AMAZING
I can't wait for the Create Aereonautic to come out, then all the transportation issue will be fixed by magnets connecting movable containers to other contraptions.
This is gonna be a fantastic video as always
@FoxyNoTail - You can use the quantify/lock keys directly on the drawer controller to lock all drawers! Also use a storage downgrade for the drawers to only allow 1 stack of an item then use upgrades x2 will allow 2 stacks or x3 for 3 stacks etc...
Intresting quark about late LNER tenders is that they have corridors to let one crew go into the coaches and another to replace them from the coaches
3:00 threshold switches work on storage draws. though this might be a compact mod addon I have
corecton, A4 Pacific Mallard was the locomotive to set the speed record. Sir Nigle Gresly is a sister locomotive to Malard.
You can have the gantry stop at every portable storage interface (turning the gantry contraption back into a structure), and then it would connect.
A4 class locomotives never pulled cargo they were express locomotives also love the A4 you made. Also ive been on it (irl one)
The Sir Nigel Grealey actually did pull freight. It didn't pull passengers until it was overhauled in 2022 and put back to work
Nice mallard you got yourself there good sir
I only recently found your channel, and I love it now. You have awesome create mod videos!
This was indeed a tricky problem. My sollution to it was to uniform my trains and have standard lengths for everything. Have the exchange looking down and chute in what it needs.

You should one day add a 4014 big boy with articulation would be a cool freight train to have
i saw the thumbnail and immediately thought it was the LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard lmao, im obsessed with that train.
mr beardstone gonna be jealous about that mallard replica! 😂
The gantry way should work. You only have to fiddle with the timing so that the gantry would stop when every interface meet each other, when stopped it will will be placed and stop being a contraption
Carriages are also a correct term for train cars, but only if they are designed for passengers.
9:45 train history, yay!
Idea : make a big train building building factory:)
Because you're using a British Engine, 'trucks' or 'vans' would be the correct term for the goods train.
Trucks are usually open top and vans normally have an interior so I think wagons probably fits best to be honest
@@foxynotail
Oh they are like removable shipping containers, then it would be a 'flatbed wagon' (flatbed for short).
You can use a drawer controller and simply just right click that, when it’s attached to the drawers, to lock them all at the same time. 😊
Nice cargo train
It's awesome the create series has taken off! Congrats foxy! Loving your builds. What about a casual create smp that's a once a week recap video?
What do you mean?

Foxy make signal towers every 15 chunks along the rail
hey! The awesome steam locomotive I think it was actually based off the LNER 34
Love your videos, but as soon as Lupus Nocte came on 8 mins in, you hand me sold! 😉
you could have the contraption load the items into a temporary storage before the items enter the train.
It looks great 👍
there is a mod called Create Steam 'n Rails where if you give a deployer a wrench (through a funnel or chute) it can disassemble trains in the station
Yes but then when they are reassembled the driver won't continue his schedule
what i did not know this i have to test it tho
Foxy! Loved the episode! I think it is time for some Foxy sing/hum-a-long during the time lapses :-)
Having a prestige Express engine pull dirty wagons!? The shame of it.
A goodstrain, a goodstrain, the shame of it, oh the shame of it
This is my favorite video of yours
You shud make a halway in the tender so its a corodore tender and its actualy a pasenger locomotive

beardstone or foxy needs to do the flying scotsman for the next train with its double tender set up
Train went back to its Tokyo roots.
If you put a Colored Carpet under the smoke. Chimney thingy it will change the color of the smoke 😮
the construction will look better, if you change some of the griders to other blocks
For the phantom never spawning it might be because you disabled them at the start of your world, you can re enable them with a gamerule k think
So you can get phantom membrane and invisible train tracks
It's because I sleep every night and I have night set to only last 5 minutes so they don't get chance to spawn
@@foxynotail then add or change the recipe of phantom tracks (or make a phantom farm somewhere in the sea)
They will still spawn with the shorter night, it might just take a couple extra nights before they will, since the chance to spawn is determined by total amount of time (in ticks) since you last slept. Local difficulty also needs to be high enough (unfortunately, the actual number needed is random), so you probably need to be somewhere that you’ve spent a good amount of time at.

Funnily the steam train you made Mr foxy is an A4 pacific which are the fastest steam locomotives ever made & where passenger locomotives. But i love you made it
With the amount of drifting this train has done should have been the polar express 😉
Well that episode was a bit of a brainteaser but you worked it out in the end well done!
Super cool
What a trial, but you did it!!!
I hate to be the one to say it but could you please make the turning circles larger please.
Oh dang, I hadn't even thought of using Toolboxes as a filterable inventory for contraptions....!
That's a wonderful, fantastic train. However, as a train nerd, that wheel arrangement is cursed. It's not your fault, it's my brain's fault.
foxy been watching to much "The polar express" with that drifting.
Hey Foxy, if you fancy a train that might be more realistic on the corners, you want to try making something akin to maybe a Shay locomotive since it's on actual bogeys?
Damn foxy you must have decided with beardstone that you would booth make an amazing train your train and his are so damn good loking 👍
Build UP 4014- Union Pacific Big Boy (the largest steam loco ever built)
The ski resort Area should be named "Steamy Slopes"
the loco you build is called Mallard
Try Effortless building, it's a good mod for building
Mallard my beloved
Not foxy ignoring a industrial accident 😅😅😅
Watches train back up around the corner *eurobeat starts* watches it start to turn like its drifting **eurobeat intensifies**
"Its drifting" MULITRACK DRIFTING??? DEJA VU I JUST BEEN TO THIS PLACE BEFORE HIGHER ON THE STREETS WHOAAAAHHH
I'm gonna have to say to name it 'Mallard' after the locomotive it looks like. Also, there is one in Canada I believe.
my only problem with him using an A4, which im impressed at his knowledge of is that A4s are passenger locomotives and hes using it for freight
also, schmatic please
The train likes drifting so let him drift
Fork trucks don't lift containers. You need reach stackers for that.
I've carried containers on forklifts myself. In real life, in my old job.
Not full ones, just empty ones though lol
Pleaseee make the train longer only 3 extra carrieges is enough🙏🙏🙏
You made a Mallard!
OMFG WAIT my school did an evacuee themed trip to a railway station and istg we rode that train as part of it.
Still if you put string underneath the gravel, it will not fall and it’s a lot less laggy
You can also just put a normal slab underneath gravel
