why does the train not conect right?
Hello, I have built and connected a locomotive, but apart from a few blocks everything remains stationary and only a few blocks and the wheels of the wagons move with it. I've seen many YouTubers say that anything can drive, so why can't it work for me?

Hello @Magier148! Someone will help you shortly, please do not ping moderators or other people and just wait for someone to come help.
Is it glued? By describing only a few move makes me feel like that’s likely
yeah the main is glued i cant glue everything because of the wheel you can only conect 2 or 4
You can only have 2 bogeys glued to each section of glue, mathematic limit, IDK if that’s your issue however
I would still recheck glue, I find it easy to mess that up
ok
hang on, that engine looks familiar. did you follow a tutorial by a youtuber named MadenPlay
yeah :pls: is that a problem
no it should not be. What blocks are not being included upon assembly?
most of them
like every wagon an most of the train
from what the original message says, it makes it sound like you glued every carriage together, is this possibly the issue?
i glued the train because in a guide the youtuber sayed the other blocks would be conectet too because you can only glue 2-4 weels
let me try to explain this: all blocks on a contraption have to be connected for them to attach, this means that any blocks not connected to the main body will not be assembled. Train contraptions are limited to 2 bogeys per carriage (this is due to mathematical reasons). I know from following that tutorial that there are only 2 bogeys per carriage. The only reason the station would be telling you there is more would have to be because you glued from the front of the train all the way to the back with one glue blob. Instead you need to glue each carriage individually
ok thx i will try
at least the coal wagon can drive now and the train complete
i have found the issue. You are attempting to glue everything together at once. Trains will automatically connect different carriages after assembly. SO you only need to glue the engine to it's two bogeys, the tender to it's two bogeys, and so on until you get them all glued
