UE4 Physics-based train on rails - Part 5 - Sample Project
After a lot of tweaking and fiddling, I've decided to upload a sample project. Still a lot of things not quite right but it gives a good overview of how I've been approaching the challenges involved in getting a train to run in a half-decent fashion in UE4.
Here's a link to the sample (engine version: UE4.27.2):

I've stripped out most of the non-essential stuff, but it still comes to 80MB zipped and 218MB uncompressed.
BEWARE!!!!! migrating this project to UE5 (in my case UE5.5) causes the custom collision channels to stop functioning. I found that creating new custom collision channels in the Project Settings and putting them in instead of the old ones solved the issue.
I've started a Discord server for this and other projects: / discord
