HoverRail

Description:

HoverRail is a selection of new blocks that enable you to create maglev style trains and much much more!. The original mod was created by FeepingCreature and he kindly gave his permission for us to reupload and maintain it.

HoverRail is opensource so if you would like to help out please feel free to get in touch.

Contents:

* Maglev Engine Large/Small * New Maglev Engine Large/Small * New Maglev Engine Small 3x1 * 1x Rail * 3x Rail * 10x Rail * 30x Rail * 10-12 Radius Curve Block * 10-12 Radius Left Junction * 10-12 Radius Right Junction * 1x5 Upwards Slope * 1x5 Slope Bottom Transfer * 1x5 Slope Top Transfer

Basic Guide:

* Build two rails with a one block gap * Build train above it * Put MagLev engine blocks at the bottom of the train in-line with the rails (Four needed to keep it stable) * Make sure train has power available. About 1-100kW are required per engine. * Cautiously drop the train to the track (Good idea to start with block destruction turned off) * Slowly raise force until stable. Around 1-10M is recommended.
