I know this is a month old, but fun fact: Valve is terrible at making trains. Theres not 1 (one) valve game where the trains actually fit on the tracks properly.
Man, this map's so cool, I also really love the sound design in it, it sounds oddly realistic and I could totally see myself sitting down in one of the cabins and listening to long videos while on my way to another city. Also that lever to toot the horn? Essential.
There was an old map with planets, there was an underground bunker on an ice planet. There was also a non prop spaceship. That map was awesome, but GMod updated and it was lost.
As someone who really enjoys levels set on and/or in vehicles, this map is perfect for me. I've only played it once, but now that they've added chairs and stuff, I might play around on it a bit.
@@rcpwProductions Yeah, icerailway is an awesome map. My favourite feature that places it apart from all the other maps is the fact that you can just stop the train and get out, I find that so cool.
This looks fun, the kind of thing I'd load up as a fancy screensaver or something while I sit there and have a drink. I love this series for showing us this stuff.
im surprised you picked this one and not the other ones, this one is still being worked on unlike others, i also remember reading that hes gonna try to make the glass breakable, which would be really nice
5:59 Just wanted to correct something, player ragdolls are basically ghosts, they pass through anything that isn't static, so props, doors, breakable geometry, etc. This also means they are unaffected by things that push or move props, like the trigger on the ground.
it's not the most original concept, but this one is probably one of the nicest 5:58 that's an engine limitation, vanilla player corpses can collide or interact with only a handful of entities, to save performance. if you got one of those "player keep corpses" addons i imagine it would be pushed backwards
completely by chance an actual train sounded its horn at the exact same time as you pulled the lever. matched up perfectly. freaky part is I jumped back 10 seconds to listen again, and it happened again...
playermodels don't move in the same way as props because vanilla playermodel ragdolls are handled clientside. install a serverside ragdoll mod and try it again. keep corpses if you intend to achieve the same with npcs.
there's a fun version based on snowpiercer featuring a weird portal and attacking trains and an assault mechanic and ai and an automated turret, the turret does bug a bit if power is cut but can be fixed with a combination of something
1:35 IIRC, I believe this was how level E1M3 in Blood, named Phantom Express, looked like the train in the level was moving. The whole tain was stationary and the ground was what was moved in an infinite loop.
Yep! Was going to say the same thing, but this is just how the Phantom Express worked. It’s extremely clear if you jump off and watch the blood decals/sprites.
You should check out Cruiser Canyon, it's a nice map for flying LFS/WAC. It also has some interesting features, like the huge ship in the sky that lets you fire a particle beam. All in all, a great experience.
Player ragdolls are not effected by push forces or really anything that would effect props or ragdolls spawned by the player or map and don't have collision with props, entities, and npcs
I want a train map like this, but with a day-night cycle and drastically changing environment! Something cross-country, hell, maybe even inspired by the orient express.
Another train-based map that popped up recently is just called "Train Test" by Bombasticked. It's basically a giant, working trainset with switchable switches and a very interesting mix of environment themes (or the beginnings of them, anyway. Right now it's just props and dev textures). I'd keep my eye on it as it develops; could make a very cool video once it's done. RUclips won't let me post links, but the ID is 2761142407.
Is it actually possible to move player and npc ragdolls with push brushes? I've never seen any flag for that, nor have I ever seen a map that does that either.
the developer said he dabbled with horror first right? I almost feel like the night version should have a little innocent horror easter egg or something, like maybe when another train passes by, there will be a shadowy figure hanging on. just watching.
I adore train levels in games especially source games
or even just levels that happen to have trains in them such as hazards in TF2 maps
I just remember how people would always gather around in Gears 3 to see the train go by after triggering the secret, then go back to gnasher spamming.
I like trains
I know this is a month old, but fun fact: Valve is terrible at making trains.
Theres not 1 (one) valve game where the trains actually fit on the tracks properly.
Me too, especially when there’s Razor Trains.
I really want to make an hour-long edit of this map now to serve as an ambiance video
Then do it.
Then do it
Not exactly an hour, but I made a small ambience video on the map :)
TTS is perfect for this map, especially if you try to do RP at the same time with appropriate player models. Massive Hercule Poirot vibes.

sounds like a space build map I used to play on, I have a few saved away from years ago that it might apply to!
I think someone re-uploaded it in 2013, if I know what you're talking about
As someone who really enjoys levels set on and/or in vehicles, this map is perfect for me. I've only played it once, but now that they've added chairs and stuff, I might play around on it a bit.
these are my absolute favorite types of maps, they're all fantastic
my favorite is rp_icerailway, a huge map and heaps of details
@@rcpwProductions Yeah, icerailway is an awesome map. My favourite feature that places it apart from all the other maps is the fact that you can just stop the train and get out, I find that so cool.
TTT_Terrortrain is the best gmod ttt map imo simply because of this.
god i hate you people
Can we have a map with literally every type of transport on a infinite highway ect
I've always loved these kind of maps.
4:07 - did you mean to say "a slightly faster train"?
Yes I did haha
Hey! Guys! Look its the hl2 city 17 train!
Gosh, I would love to see some RP done on this map. Such a cool place to just "be." Thank yoh Whomobile!
You're right, there's something undeniably cozy about this map. Always wanted to fall asleep on a passenger train
This map really makes me feel like 007 fighting on top of a moving train
This looks fun, the kind of thing I'd load up as a fancy screensaver or something while I sit there and have a drink. I love this series for showing us this stuff.
That source bloom works really well with those train lights
This map is just so immersive.

Whomobile, thanks for using OTTD soundtrack at the begining. It really made my day :) I hope you're doing fine
Remember that one Dessert Bus map?
Sounds yummy
Your weird maps series is my comfort watch, I love them so much
4:06
-Sometimes a slightly slower train will pass by.
*sad slightly faster train noises*
Passing _other_ trains is such an underappreciated addition. It grounds the map a lot, making the world feel alive.
this map reminds me of the train map in hitman 3. that one is also really cool.
completely by chance an actual train sounded its horn at the exact same time as you pulled the lever. matched up perfectly. freaky part is I jumped back 10 seconds to listen again, and it happened again...
This isn’t even that weird of a map, it’s just an awesome one
yeah, "Weird maps" has kinda more become "interesting maps" but weird maps sounds more catchy
@@Whomobile true lol. Still a pretty cool map and I should probably watch more episodes
playermodels don't move in the same way as props because vanilla playermodel ragdolls are handled clientside.
install a serverside ragdoll mod and try it again.
keep corpses if you intend to achieve the same with npcs.
I remember actually downloading this map and having a lot of fun with it
TTD OST is the best OST in any sandbox transportation game to ever exist.
Nice, I love this series, thank you for your hard work following up with authors!
Weird maps is your best series.
Never heard of this map, but its definitely a treat!
Love this man, especially the I remember that we build a freaking Minecraft house on rails, also it's pretty chill just infinity Train ride...
I like this map as an action movie shoot out. I did it on my game once
I've only seen one other GMod map which featured a moving train, zs_obj_857_to_phoenix which was less detailed but featured the moving train illusion.
oh dang I remember that map! I've never seen it won though lol
I recomend looking at Borealis_Sinkable, a really good ship map that also sinks
I remember filiming on this map for a April Fools day video and I had no idea the prop trains use all of the blank track so I was in for a surprise
Didn’t this map come out just recently? I remember seeing it on my front page. Ah yes yes it did
Impressive! Very nice! I love a map like this.
there's a fun version based on snowpiercer featuring a weird portal and attacking trains and an assault mechanic and ai and an automated turret, the turret does bug a bit if power is cut but can be fixed with a combination of something
I love these videos, man. They remind me of the Videogame Bathroom series - just quiet appreciation and attention to small details.
yess new Weird Maps video!!! Truly your best sort of vids.
i love that u have returned to making map reviews!
As a zombie escape player those green lights just scream pressing to me lmao.
truly a generation of mappers
I really really like this map, I've played with it a lot making little scenes and messing around
2:33 Correction: Gondola cars
5:20 Correction: Engine Cab

@@seven07707 it's as shrimple as that

Fell asleep watching the playlist of weird map videos again :(
What a cool map! I’ll have to try this one out!

After a Year i Finally found this Map
Man, thanks to a rail that doesn't have passing trains I placed a combine train and then did a rebels vs combine wars
Transport Tycoon Music FTW!!
This is like a door to the past
I have this map its one of my favorites!
Is it actually possible to move player and npc ragdolls with push brushes? I've never seen any flag for that, nor have I ever seen a map that does that either.
I just downloaded the map yesterday
Ironically enough I actually got this map a couple of days ago.
U need to make more videos about gmod maps in this series
Looks cool.
Would be a cool rp one or travelpart of an RP
More like "Riding a train in terrible weather conditions."
the developer said he dabbled with horror first right? I almost feel like the night version should have a little innocent horror easter egg or something, like maybe when another train passes by, there will be a shadowy figure hanging on. just watching.
I *love* trains! Who doesn't love trains!
Are you implying I don't like trains?
@@Whomobile I would never.
But you said "who doesn't like trains" :(
@@Whomobile No, I said "Who doesn't love trains!"
serms like a fun map
Wouldn't it be cool if someone made an RP Snowpiercer map where the entire server takes place on a train?
wouldnt call it weird, i would call it FUCKING AMAZING
I don't know why but
We need more Train maps in Gmod Workshop
4:10 the other train is actually slightly faster ☝️🤓
Weird maps, pog
I always using this map to play hostage rescue
I really don't get how this is weird It should have been listed as cool maps at least
All Aboard!
I really want to make an hour-long edit of this map now to serve as an ambiance video 👀
do it
I feel like this map would fit right in as a fake half life 2 beta/prototype intro
were you looking for terrortrain?
I played that map and i put gman into the room of the train
this is fun nextbot cant chase me on this train
alright cool ass train, what was weird about it????
This reminds me of ttt_terrortrain
RAZOR TRAiN?
Ai LOVE RAZOR TRAiN :)
Was just rewatching your Weird Maps today, so the fact you uploaded another was a happy surprise indeed!
I swaer someone made something like this for vrchat but for the life of me can't remember the name
cover gm_cliffyscape
yes
4:10 faster* train
Whe-moble
4:08 "Sometimes a slightly slower train will pass by"...? I've never heard of a slower moving object overtaking a faster one :P
Interesting video! ^^
I feel the same coziness seeing the map. Could make for some interesting TTT or prophunt lol
Ungh
huh
100th viewer!!
