    oh god … hopefully that front car was able to keep the distance and just outpace the rear cars until the friction slowed them down enough.

        i dont think the waggons get accelerated … but i might very well be wrong. i am by no means an expert on this subject matter.

      front car

      You mean train

      I assumed that the train could just slow down a very little bit till it touches with the car to then slow down when they touch each other but that’s probably not how it works.

        the train could just slow down a very little bit till it touches with the car

        That sounds kind of dangerous … i know that the train and all the waggons have springs to dampen connection impact but … not sure how much those can take or how much the difference in speed/force of both sides can be without one pushing the other (in the worst case of the rails)

          I am no means a train expert but that doesn’t sound that dangerous, only the relative speed matters and if it was a very small difference the wagons will eventually catch up and the impact might be noticeable but not fatal. But ig the emergency brakes would be a safer option either way.

        maybe a problem with the rendering. all the fluid simluations should cause some problems in the matrix

          The car’s position is glitched, physically it’s on the track but the render is under the ground.
