The pure joy when the train cars attached to the engine is incredible.

Me and my dad played this and he loved that he was able to control a train. Was a blast.

It's definitely a dad-game, but in my case I am the dad :D

The concept here is nice, good job by making and posting it. I hope you keep working on it! I would love to see how this plays out :)

It's difficult to come with useful/helpful feedback since it's so early in development, are there any specific goals in mind for this game? If you even plan on working on it (which I hope you do)

My eventual goal is to add RPG elements, such as characters to speak to at stations, quests to deliver goods, and unlockable exploration of a railway network.

The short-term goal was to implement the difficult bits first (track-following, wagon collision) so that me and my son can work on the interesting bits together!

interesting! Do you control a character, who controls the train?

Potentially, then there's the possibility to drive different ones. I've always found it interesting how in Thomas & Friends, the engines are their own characters. In earlier books it's more vague how much control the driver and fireman have, and to what extent they're wrestling with the personality of the engine. In later books and TV series, the drivers may as well not even be there, it's practically the engines themselves driving around and talking to each other.

This is a good start! The experience was brief but I like the train driving experience :)
