In the Trainz series, there is a type of programmable railroad crossing called, TRC. In order to program them, all parts of the crossing have to be named (alphanumeric character)&(number).
Example:
1&1
1&2
1&3 etc.
or
A&1
A&2
A&3 etc.
But what about Japanese symbols?! Can you name one
電車&1
電車&2
電車&3 etc?
What about special characters like
π&1
π&2
π&3 etc?
Well, last week I spent way too much time experimenting with this, and it did not work. In this video, I tested this method with several TRC crossings on my fictional Railroad Crossing museum and it corrupted the route in very interesting ways, all of which, I've documented in this video.
