Under some circumstances the 1/12 grade ascending track disappears:

Its an annoying bug that I am aware of, basically it happens as minecraft expects block models to fit perfectly into a 1x1x1 cube and no more, and only checks to render them if you can see the origin block. Basically I'll get to it later, when I have got the mod to a stage that other people can start contributing models.

(You can reproduce it if you place any track that is longer than 1 block across a chunk boundary)

Thanks for taking a look through this :)

A few helpful things to know (that won't be in the final version, so are dev stuff):

Trains don't despawn or load properly, so use "/kill @e[type=!Player]" to remove them
There are only 2 trains right now for testing, they can both be spawned by right clicking (or shift-right clicking) a straight (axis or diagonal) track.

Another thing: you can create different materials by giving the ascending track a different damage value (so you could do "/give @a traincraft:ascending_track_12_long 0 4" for material number 5.) I don't think I have got the item ID right though.

NitroxydeX commented 8 years ago

Yeah, ID was wrong but that's what auto-complete is for.

Spawning works but the Cart not the Loco is just standing still. Is this right?

One of them doesn't have an engine so it wont move. Unless you place it on a hill, in which case it will (under the act of gravity) begin to CLIMB the hill.
