IR DE Ket’s Global Train Pack for Immersive Railroading Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I spawn a locomotive from this pack?
Use the Immersive Railroading spawner item and select your desired locomotive from the Global Train Pack models in the menu. Place it on completed rail track and it will appear ready to drive.
What's the difference between steam, diesel, and electric trains in this pack?
Steam locomotives require fuel and water management, diesel locomotives need fuel, and electric trains require overhead wires to be installed above the tracks to operate. Each type has different performance characteristics and visual details.
Do I need overhead wires for all the electric trains?
Yes, electric locomotives and multiple units from this pack require overhead wire infrastructure to function. You'll need to build the wire system using Immersive Railroading's catenary blocks above your tracks.
Can I mix passenger cars from different regions together?
Yes, you can couple any passenger cars together to build custom consists, though mixing different regional styles may look visually inconsistent depending on your preference.
How do I build a multi-car passenger train?
Spawn your locomotive, then spawn individual passenger cars on the same track and couple them together using Immersive Railroading's coupling system—typically by positioning cars close and using a coupling item or interaction.
Why won't my electric train move even though it's on tracks?
Electric trains need overhead wires installed above the track to draw power. Check that catenary wires are properly placed and connected above your locomotive and the entire route you want to travel.
Do these trains work with regular Minecraft rails or only Immersive Railroading tracks?
These trains are designed exclusively for Immersive Railroading's custom rail system and will not work on vanilla Minecraft rails.
What should I do if a train model looks wrong or textures are missing?
Make sure the resource pack is enabled and loaded above any conflicting packs in your resource pack list, and verify that Immersive Railroading itself is installed and working correctly.
Can I drive these trains in survival mode or only creative?
You can drive them in both survival and creative modes, though spawning locomotives may require creative mode or admin commands depending on your server settings.
Are there sleeper cars I can use for long-distance trains?
Yes, the pack includes several sleeper train cars from Japan and other regions, such as the 20-Series sleeper train and 583-Series sleeper unit, which you can couple into passenger consists.
