Create: Trains On Trains
by sindarin27
With Create: Trains On Trains, a train can carry other trains, letting players haul whole trains along a Create track as one connected unit.
What it does
The extension for Create lets players glue a train onto a train, so a carriage can hold another train and move it along the track without the carried train being unloaded. The author built it to let long chains of bogeys line up with the original ones, so a single carriage can add many bogeys. The mod was tested with Create and with Steam n Rails, which allows building trains that transport other trains of different bogey sizes.
Only the server needs the mod: it is server-side only, so players can join a server running it without installing anything, and clients do not need it. Create is required. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, both dated 2024-10-24.

How it compares
Create Train Parts is open source under the MIT License, runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and needs both the client and the server. Create:Now that's a train! is Forge only for 1.20.1, is not open source, and also needs both sides. Create: Trains On Trains is server-side only, so clients need nothing.
