hi folks, this here is an appeal to make a constraint system for a train so that a wagon drives along a spline and aligns his front end end part tangential to the direction of the spline.
This is just the beginning.....


Known Problems:
If u play the animation backwards or scroll too fast backwards through the timeline the constraints flip. I dont know why.


I encourage u all to modify and improve this constraint set and make it better and better and better :) so i hope this thread gets some nice feedback and better improved constraints

This is the setup I would use, although it has it's own problems I dont have time to fix:
the distance between the bogeys is not allways the same, because of the nature of spline node. However if your spline is not to curvy it should work fine
