After two years of saying I wanted to, I've finally gotten around to adding deformable terrain.
Along with the terrain I've implemented flexible track that allows you to more easily built on the new terrain or just make interesting curves you couldn't before. This track can be manipulated by grabbing it by the endpoints and moving them around.
The deformable terrain comes in the form of a new table that once placed can be edited with the new terraforming tool.
When held near a deformable table, editable points will be highlighted within the tools radius.
Pressing and holding the trackpad (or A button on Oculus/WMR) will let you raise and lower the highlighted area.
You can adjust the range and falloff of the selected area with the dials on the end of the Terraformer's prongs. You can also paint this new terrain multiple colors allowing you to create snow topped mountains and green valleys.
In addition to these new flexible features, I've added two new locomotives:
As well as a light control signal block, a double-wide crossing guard, and a little trainarium.
Changes:

Added deformable terrain and Terraformer tool
Added flexible track
Added Deco loco
Added Punter loco
Added light control signal block
Added double-wide RR crossing guard
Added bell to RR crossing guard
Stopped bell and horn signal blocks pausing control sequences
Added trainarium
Rearranged locomotive inventory drawer

Known bug: Terraformer sometimes loses ability to terraform (I know, it had one job) Linux build coming soon. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1430077455

Are you a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you an adult that misses playing with your model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult that missed out on playing with model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult with a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you just an adult that wants to play with model trains?

Are you a person of any age/race/gender that wants to play with model trains?

If you answered yes to any of the above, do I have news for you because Locomancer lets you PLAY WITH AND RIDE MODEL TRAINS!
(Also if you answered no to all of the above, come on, we all know you're lying to yourself and everyone you love. Take a break from the wave shooters and play with some trains.)

Locomancer is a toy box style model train simulator for touch enabled SteamVR headsets. It allows you to build layouts of varying complexity and even defy what is physically possible in fake virtual reality (reality).

Featuring:

Multiple locomotives including steam and diesel engines
A variety of rail cars including a fully functional cannon car
Straight track, curved track, inclined track, loop de loops, and more!
Various pieces of scenery to add detail your layouts

Plus, with support for custom scenery, you can bring models created by yourself or the community into the game for even further customization (Steam Workshop support coming soon). The possibilities are nearly endless*!

Fully embracing the physicality of touch enabled virtual reality you are legally required to build layouts piece by piece, tree by tree. Then, once complete you must remotely operate your trains with a replica DC control panel or hop in the cab of any of the available locomotives and drive them with physical levers, knobs, and dials! They even burst in to flames when they crash, you can't say that about your real model trains can you?

Oh...you can? I'd get that checked out if I were you.

So what are you waiting for? Become The Locomancer!

Yes, you are the Locomancer. Was that not clear? It's like a train wizard. You're like the babe with the power, but instead of voodoo it's train magic. Also, there's no magic dance, but you can still dance to twenty-six minutes of sweet big band jazz by Nathan Boler if you want to.

*The possibilities are totally endful, but there's still a lot you can do.
