The train must be stopped to refill the lamp, and the beacon projection is disabled by default in config, but its a nice feature if your shaders accept it.

Hello! Hope you're enjoying ChooChoo!

The sharp rotation glitches when taking corners have finally been fixed across all supported versions, so trains should now handle turns much more smoothly.

I've also been thinking about a possible damage and maintenance system for a future update. This could include checking the condition of your train, replacing worn-out wheels, and replacing damaged coupling chains. 

Nothing is confirmed yet, but I think it could be an interesting addition to ChooChoo. I'd like to hear what you guys think.
