mLine 4:
Line 4: + + − The world record for distance swaps the positions of the [[Tank_Wagon|Tank]] and [[Crafting Wagon|Crafter]] wagons with two [[Dynamite_Wagon|Dynamite Wagons]] near the back, in front of the [[Tank Wagon|Tank]]. There are a few reasons for this: ideally, your tank of water will not need to be filled or extinguished as often as you will need to pull tracks off and place them. The tank of water can also be refilled from the engine making its default position redundant. You want a rearward water reserve allowing it to be refilled from either end of the [[train]] and your tracks as far forward as possible to allow the designated track layer to easily pull tracks off whilst refilling the [[Storage Wagon|Storage]]. Also, running to the rear of the [[train]] to pickup tracks is very inefficient and could possibly derail the [[train]] at high speeds and one-way pinches if you have not placed enough tracks ahead. You can swap wagons around as early as the completion of the first station. While in the shop, simply pickup the [[Tank Wagon|Tank]] and drop it in place of the [[Crafting_Wagon|Crafter]]. − [[File:WagonPlacement_Easy_Record.png|thumb|475x475px|Wagon placement for the Easy Endless Highscore (Legacy): 4321m]]

You should save up as many [[bolts]] at the beginning as possible and not spend them until [[Dynamite Wagon|Dynamite]] appears. If you have accumulated at least 7 bolts and the cart selection is not in your favor, you may purchase upgrades for the [[Crafting Wagon|Crafter]], [[Storage Wagon|Storage]] and [[Tank Wagon|Tank]], keeping in mind that you can earn up to 3 bolts per level. See the picture below for wagon placement.

When do you buy that engine upgrade? Well, if you have an experienced team, you can push to 600-700m fairly safely in the first [[Biomes|biome]]. With that being said, the world record pushes it to double that on Easy and over 1000m on Hard. Ideally, you want to avoid buying a new engine until the [[train]] is going too fast for your team. That will vary based on your team's experience level of course. You should be trying to push the speed as high as possible and feel comfortable playing at around 0.650m/s.
