Train wheels

[Benny47]

so im new to building trains and my train is using 2 classic train wheels. Is there a way to make them move like side to side. because when i go around a turn it acts like 1 large solid unit, and tends to fall off. Can they act separate and turn a little to make turns go more smoothly?

Slow down before turning, easy solution

Put the train boogies on unpowered pivots so they can rotate. To make them go side to side either attach the pivot to an arm attached to another pivot so that it can swing, or... Attach the pivot to one of the large slider blocks with the no power and it will slide freely side to side.

The built in wheels don't have a function to slide. You need to build it with the other pieces that are available. Most of the advanced trains on the workshop have some sort of solution. Check my PUMA out.

I'd advise against using the train wheel assemblies that come with multiple axes per part, they never seemed to work right.

Better to use multiple single wheel assemblies, they never derailed for me so far (going ~350km/h through the tunnels towards spycakes terminal) and give you way more traction than the multi-wheel assemblies.
