I don't know exactly how the cushion worked, but it was unintentional.
Charles and Slime helped me fix my algorithm so I could replace that thing
with a "modelled" object such as this one...

The NTSB would never approve that rail line.

I liked the sausage better!
There's a small problem here with the middle set of wheels, they
don't always touch the track.
I still like both animations (boys and trains...)

That does real good. Looks like if you monitored angles off from level you
could set speed changes and a tipping over limit.

Of your over cook the motion slightly, would be excellent for a 'toon train'
animation

Independent suspension?: Ugh, more coding headaches! The biggest one I face
now is how to get a second car hooked up to this one and keep everything
purely procedural.
But seriously, would a real train have independent suspension of that type?
I suppose the answer is no, but they wouldn't go on non-NTSB-approved tracks
like this one, either. I'm probably going to model two kinds of engines,
1) Thomas-like, and 2) highly detailed from some blueprints of 1910's steam
engines I found at the local library.

You could also get the sausage back and bend it ;)

Perhaps not, or at least not as flexible as would be necessary
for your track.
But having a single set of wheels in the middle increases the
problem (I've never seen that on a real train).

Would it really be that hard to model the suspension
(realistically or not)? You already have the movement of the
upper part, guided by the track, so you also already know the
position of the track. If you take the current position of the
wheels, then put the wheels on the track and stick a bit of
bubblegum between those two positions it should work nicely.
Oh, and if you work on the Thomas-like version I'd really love
to see a sausage (even though I don't eat them). :)

Remco
