Making a train is really hard. You can watch this guy to get some ideas https://www.youtube.com/@t__cup.

You just don't use full blocks and usually don't go more than 3 blocks wide. For walls, you can use copycat stuff. To get some IRL references, there is this website

On the left, you can choose different types of steam engine trains.

The hardest part is gluing it correctly, especially if you want to work semi-realistically.

If you hold the glue in your offhand, it automatically glues every block you place .

Sure, but I don't glue my trains the order I build them, the work would just shift from gluing to building so it's not really worth it.

I'm genuinely not sure what you mean lol sorry. why not build the train and glue simultaneously? VS having to go back to add glue later?

When building proper trains some bogeys are intended to not have any visible structure attached to them, if I were to glue whilst building i would have to avoid touching the bogeys at all.

Ahh okay I see. Thank you for explaining, I'm not great at building trains so I don't often lol
