HOW did you make the boxcars follow the locomotive? I'm doing a similar project right now and the deadline is two days from now, but I still haven't figured out the way to do it. Tried IK HI solver, didn't work - the train would bend, but in the wrong direction, like a caterpillar. Could you please explain this to me? :)
@jfyork1 yes! thank you. Interestingly, that's the exact way I did it in the end (the movie is finishing up as I'm writing these lines), since none of the other methods (like path deformation of the whole train or bone systems) seemed to work in the way that I wanted...
Very nice, rendering and everything... So again:

@Nebuchadnezzaurus It was done using motion paths with each carriage following a seperate timeline. Hope this helps.
