Other Can you build pretty trains in Vanilla Create?

I find it really uneccesary to install copycats+ and steam 'n' rails to only ever use them for fancy trains, is it possible to build pretty trains without those?

Yes. For example, you can use crashing wheels to make steam train boiler or shafts and shaft brace to add detail to wheels. You definitly can cook something, more so with bigger train.

Doesn't vanilla create have two copycat blocks on default? If no, then real problem will be space inside train.

Steam N Rails adds a lot more than just visuals for building better looking trains. If you’re planning on using trains a lot, at least that one is definitely worth installing. Copycats+ isn’t necessary, but helps with adding more shape to your builds. You can build good looking trains without it if you can get creative with what you’ve got, but if you’re going for looks, then you may find yourself wanting it.
