This really isn't a "problem" or a question, but I though some of the Trainz folks on here might be amused by a little playing around I've been doing with "stunt" Trainz..
I suppose this happens to us all at some point...after playing with Trainz, making serious layouts, the urge strikes to try something "crazy." For many, it's staging spectacular wrecks and posting the havoc on YouTube. For me, it was jumping a TGV loco over Union Pacific engines...
I started with a small ramp and five UP engines, on rails spaced one grid square apart. I could have jumped more by placing the tracks closer together, but I set the one grid distance as a sort of arbitrary "rule" for setting records. And it worked! I cleared them with room to spare. I put together the following video of the results. The link will take you to YouTube:

Since that was so easy, I doubled the ramp height and the number of UP engines to ten. Again, I cleared them with room to spare. I will probably try to see just how many I can jump when I get some more time to play. Or maybe some of you will want to see if you can set some records of your own using other engines. There are videos on YouTube of bullet trains doing insane speeds in Trainz that would make for some spectacular jumps!
In any case, the jump of the ten can be viewed here:

Enjoy!
