The challenge was to build the best looking train and shalz did that, but he also made a station and a train yard now that is insane detail.

*BREAD*

0:34 the way this man laughs at grass is golden, the random humor is on point

I'm not in any way a professional on steam locomotives, but I do have a few tips for you Shalz. - One, turn the bogey around. On the locomotive, the pistons were in the back. I don't think that would make the engine any less capable on its own in real life, but the tubing from the boiler, to the cylinders, and back to the funnel would a nightmare, and it can also look weird lol. Looks like some others commented on this already - Two, the tender is responsible for holding both the coal AND the water for the engine. I assume you had the intention of adding water to the boiler directly, but in doing this you had the water going into the funnel. Others have commented on this too. Do yourself a favor and make the water go into the tender, or if you're building a tank engine, add a hatch on the tank to add the water. - Third, for larger trains, maybe you don't necessarily HAVE to physically connect the bogeys on the trains. I've never used the create mod myself, nor any of the extra mods used, but if you let a pilot bogey be detached from the main engine, it might help a lot since the pilot wheels could then turn without making the entire engine look like its derailing this would allow for more freedom with the trains design and allow for even bigger trains. - Fourth, (and possibly the least important), don't forget the little things. the buffers and lamp were pretty cool, but don't forget the other features like a dome, whistle, maybe a campfire for smoke (or add another mod that just adds a funnel which you've reviewed on your channel before) I'm no builder, nor am I a locomotive expert, but I think adding these details could easily step up your next build.

4:13 the fact that he used a framed block instead of the slab itself 😂

Yeah no when shalz said "you know whats harder?" With his sense of humour I was not expecting him to say finding a browser.

A modeler of extended bogeys here, and thanks for using the mod!

As a person who has studied steam trains for 10 years just for fun, I can confirm that your locomotive is fairly accurate. My only two complaints are that the driving wheels that control the rest of the train are backward, and the cab and boiler are connected to the front wheel and not the driver wheels. Overall, I approve of it Edit: I like yours the most

"if I make it wider then it also looks weird" narrow gauge trains:

Shalz: I don’t have much time to build Also Shalz: I made a whole train station and train yard

I vote Shalz because the amount of detail is just insane, he even made passenger seats and a whole train station!

I'm sorry cactus failed

Shalz is just the Grian of create mod.

To help the process of making a train, definitely have a reference image that you look at at all times. Makes building soooo much easier and less time consuming

0:46 You know what is harder? I fully expected something else.

11:14 - the amount of pain I'm feeling is indescribable.

These build battle videos are fr making me wanna pick the create more back up

i love how you are probably the only youtuber out there that actually admits that he's drained out sometimes and needs some time.. you're doing so well, shalz, we all love your videos and support you no matter what!

for the locomotive itself cactus did better (coz theres more than one type of color and the shape is a little more normal so it brings more life into the build) but for everything else (the carts) shalz did better for the same reason

I vote shalz, he just made the best train without any reason, he remains undefeated.

Love your content, but as a big train nerd, there were several things that struck a nerve, but all good, lol.

11:24 The new “floor is made of floor” “Your train looks like a train” XXD

Shalz you won a easy dub

I was going to vote for Shalz until he decided to pump water down the smokestack. That's like trying to fuel your car by sticking the fuel hose up the exhaust pipe Also his pistons are backwards

The back wards pistons are killing me as a train fan

Protips for modeling trains: 1.) It's pretty safe to go with wooden cabs, or go for a "painted" look, steel cabs pretty much always had very curved roofs that are hard to model in minecraft. And steel cabs were introduced as a relatively late game design innovation, usually only on very large/articulated engines. 2.) Cab pretty much always has part of the boiler/firebox inside of it, since access to the firebox door was helpful engineers and firemen usually had seats _next_ to the corner of the boiler, not with a large empty cabin. 3.) The front of the "boiler" in the train is the smoke box, and it usually has handles and the front of it opens up for maintenance, lights were usually installed on a shelf above this door. 4.) DO NOT FORGET THE SANDER DOMES, usually on the top of the boiler there are other domes besides the smoke stack. The sander dome and steam dome are found on the top of most locomotives. 5.) The tender is called a tender and not a tinder, as it's providing both the fuel AND water for the locomotive to use to generate steam. Without water, you're not going anywhere, so make sure you add sections for both on the tender. You cannot dump water into the boiler directly because it would require a system that would maintain the pressure of the tank while adding the water. 6.) The "running boards" along the side of the boiler are for walking on, so sloping them is probably not a good idea. I mean there's a lot more here to unpack, our host did not make a very convincing locomotive, where as cactus at least made it functional within the context of the mod itself, which naturally ended up making his build look a bit better anyway.

You could make a series where you try to build trains from Viewers countries! 😊 Good Video Btw.

Shalz on the best build, but the friend of shalz get the price of best working train. Congrats on both. Really cool builds! 😎👍

WE LOVE YOU

I love watching create content. This is an amazing create video + editing is so goddamn good (especially the mirrored swear words) + the humor is funny. THIS CHANNEL IS PERFECT!

Glad to see you uploading again! And glad it's such a banger

11:20 Ah yes, water in the smokebox. Looks good though.

its been too long shalz ive missed your vids!

Shalz + Create = Life is a dream come true 🎉

Hey wow thanks for including extended bogeys in this video!! im the spriter for the mod and its crazy to even see my stuff in one of your videos. hopefully you do more videos with train extensions because we got a lot more stuff planned for it

the train he made reminds me of the old train from the immersive engineer mod from 1.12.2

Shalz, im just saying, every person, EVERY person that subscribed to you are supporting you. Even me!

Shalz did a bit of off camera grinding between the building and the viewing

"going for the steam train look" *proceeds to build the piston and drive wheels backwards* Cactus' train looked better, the Copper really added to the locomotive, and he had the drive wheels and pistons facing the correct direction for that style of train.

"Bedrock is hard but you know what's harder?" - Shalz 2023

first farts

Seeing some of my models on other people’s videos makes me feel so grateful! Thank you RabbitMiners!

yaay new shalz video, stoped sleeping for this, it better be good lol :)

först

he said he did not have enough time to make it function but he ended having enough time to make a whole water dispenser, a train station, bigger rails, and 2 cabins.

I want to see someone recreate a gigantic train like the Union Pacific Big Boy.

"I am Shalz, and I hate you" was the best outro I've ever heard💀💀💀 And: Bro be pumping water to where steam has to leave instead of tender💀💀💀

Love how Shalz puts his mods in the description unlike many other Creators

Interesting and cool vid. I think Shalz gets a win for how cool the train looks and Cactus gets a win for all the functions he made his train do and have.

You should build that train in your survival world

Always good to see another shalz video!!❤

you're the first youtuber that plays modded minecraft and links the mods that ive seen, Thank you so much!

0:43 "Bedrock is hard, but do you know what's harder?" me.

Shalz won with looks, cactus with usability

shalz was struggling on the train next he done all that

this dude is the mumbo jumbo of trains

Shalz definitely wins with that amazing train, trainyard and station.

Very beautiful!! Can you give us the schematic of yours buildings?

Bro this looked so insane i actually came

finally a new video from Shalz!

Please make more vids on the s server their so good and funny keep up the good work

Your train looks so cool!

you won, not biased. I am a huge train fan and one of the reasons I watch your videos is because of all of the trains. While Cactus mainly focused on functionality, while you focused on the actual subject. So you, but I still really liked Cactus' train.

i now consider this guy as the most giga chad, awesome, and cool person why is he the best? he placed the mods on the description

I am getting addicted from these videos to try these creative mods .. but once i launch a game and see how much grind and how hard it be.. i rather pass... oh lord... still love it!

Omfg I haven't seen the frame work mod in such a long time, it was a mod back in 1.12.2 or 1.7.10 or smth damn old memories

bits and chisels mod would come in clutch here, you could basically make 1:1 train in mc

"all the best Create mod train addons" *sad Steam 'n Rails noises*

My guy spend 59 minutes fooling around and 1 minute creating an entire train system

I love how Shalz knows he’s saying bogeys wrong, yet he still says boogies 😂

Just wanna say i always love your vids

i like the size and colour of cactus's train, but shalz wins for actually using more than 1 part from the mods

Earliest ive been to a shalz video i already know its gonna be a banger

Lord thank you, I searched for two days straight a reddit clip shown in a video from another youtuber showing the extended (and more realistic) bogies and you featured it.

Finally uploaded, I’ve been waiting 😂

The trains go like TSHO TSHO

IRL trains almost twice broader than rail gauge, so don't worry! 5:16

Hm.. Maybe it would look better if you'd used regular steel for the side trapdoors?

I hope u r feeling better

I love your videos and watched all of them. Could you make a video where you build an infinte create mod Train with a turning mechanism, like it scoopes up the rails and places them back down? I would really like to see how to build something like that, especially the turning!

That oopsie moment when you refill water through the smoke funnel

Loved the video @Shalz! Can't wait for the next video man! You might want to build a Steam Engine like the One you built in the Challenge for the Survival Series. Maybe Take a look at the Stanier 4-6-0 Class 5's. They were known as the Black Fives for their All Black Livery. I would've had the Specs for them typed up but the Damn FAfffffffing Page Reloaded on me. This kids is why you either Never Deal with Multiple Tabs on even a Tablet or you make sure that you've Copied everything you've typed up every so often, so that way you don't go into the Edge of a Blind rage and just flush your mood down the Toilet LMFAO!!!!!

ty for linking all the mods ☺

LETS GO EXTENDED BOGEYS

Just to build ur railway knowledge shalz. The back coal thing is called a tender. These are for tender engines holding the coal and water, however engines like thomas have a bunker and sidetanks so they don't need tenders. Just a bit more of knowledge for ya

2:37 the "coal thing" is called a tender and aslo 4:54 the cabiose was a coach that went on the back of the train

It's a good day when shalz posts

When you’re making a train, I recommend you using mangrove wood for the foot plate

Create mod trains are really cool

Shalz remember that block thingy on the extended bogies should go in the front

Gotta vote for shalz.

SHALZ I was literally thinking "oh this is probably the first build battle where nobody peaks" then I was thinking about all the videos that did then I hear "I know I'm not supposed to do this and all of my faith left

Imagine if the guys who made this mod added a joke feature where you could add Thomas the Tank Engine's face to the front of the smoke box of these trains! That would be genuinely hilarious!

Yeah those boiler and frame mods transform your create train building

So that's how you use extended bogeys, thanks man.

Shalz definetly won

Bro I love these videos but pls do more of your survival minecraft videos

That is so amazing! I have to say that shalz wins, his is amazing!
