In fact, func_trains CAN have an origin brush, and it is sometimes useful. If you want the train to roll (like, oh...I don't know, a boulder maybe?) then you can set it's angular velocity using the avelocity key. The angular velocity will use the origin brush for it's centre of rotation.

This is not like the tracktrains "align to corners" rotation.

i have discovered somthing about tracktrains
how you have the distance between wheels set up is wrong
i noticed this when i played hl and noticed how the front of the train would always seem to off the track when it came to turns
i also noticed that the origin shouldnt be in the center unless you want it to pivot from the center
i cant explain it too well but this i know i am very right
ill make an example map with the differences
