How train meets on the ES&DT are supposed to go: Theres one train rolling through slowly then the other one is going so fast it's leaving an uproar of dust in its wake, like Native Americans trying to row their boats on a dried up riverbed ("How do the Indians know the river has dried up? The boat's kicking up dust") My favourite whistles (courtesy of the CPLW's whistle pack) are: -D&S 476's Lunkenheimer 3 -US Navy 9's SOU 5 -N&W 12 inch hooter I'm envisioning for someone to beat Jersey at railroading on the ES&DT they'd have to beat him to a switch with an F-71 hauling a 2500 ton freight at 60 mph or something 😅😅 Theoretically he got from Sylva to Bryson in about 42 minutes, which I've not ran that length of the railroad but assuming the whole route takes around 2 hours and Bryson is about the half way point that's ~18 minutes on timetabled speeds

How many turntables are there on this layout?

Does he come with steam locomotive scratch and sniff overalls?

I loved the pics of Goose's kitty! A truly magnificent creature!

Have you seen Mr. Barry Bogs full scale and narrow gauge G scale layout? It’s incredible!!

So how long does it take for a train to run the Intier layout? A day? Plus, how many areas are there for just switching ops? Amazing.

I take it that he doesn't play golf. 😂🤣 Great layout! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

there is a soviet(ish) version just replaces the music with the soviet march from Red Alert 3

You did not mention the major reason for very large drivers on a fast steam locomotive. The rods cannot be perfectly balanced, so the locomotive will either shake itself to pieces or pound the track excessively if we run the drivers too fast. The diesel's wheels are perfectly balanced, so small wheels can run at any speed.

Отличный музей и хороший рассказ!

I wish the US would adapt more international signage I think it's clearer. I driven in other countries and found it more pleasing to the eye with their color schemes and graphics.

please tell me you can do an interview with Doyle about his stories that would be bonkers

3:30 start up

So to set it straight, did SP and UP MERGE or get BOUGHT OUT? I keep telling my buddies that the DRGW which merged into SP, was never bought outright by UP but rather merged and kept board members

The 94’ El Cajun accident 2 of the 3 accidents on the grade

1:57 I'm just looking at the tool board you have nailed up in the background. I shoulda thought of that.

Facts are facts! Whether we want to accept them or not. Great information. Interesting!

The valley is beautiful it has awesome scenery I would live there like if you would live in derail valley

Fabricate a new firebox door with fireproof glass tank facing the fire and a circulator pump hooked up to the tender!

Love the Chernobyl reference

Train Tarded.

This Is one way To Become Tarded👍👍👍.

I love Train's, I live in Placerville CA and I visit the train museum when ever I can.

We need this in Century of Steam, with the (really awesome by the way!) vocals included

Oh come on! What a bunch of hoooy! Big Boys can't run as fast as say, 844 or even 3985 is because of the size of the drive wheels. Compare them. Small drive wheels give low speed but high power. Look at the high speed prairie engines with their huge drive wheels. Look at the coal train engines from back east with their itty bitty drive wheels. Big Boys are stuck in low speed because of the size of their drive wheels! They were purpose built to haul lotsa weight up Sherman Hill, by themselves, at any any speed they could manage.

Diesel train is there for down hill breaking

There’s the short line, based on a local company, the OT&B, as it only ever goes over there and back, and the main line affiliate, GB&L, Grievance, Break, and Lunch.

A great layout would of been nice to see a train runnning on it

The camera work needs improving not showing what Eric was pointing to and way to much showing the side board( not high engough to see top level

Still on repeat

i'll be honest...i never thought about trying to fly switch. this could have saved me so much time lmao

Great video, one suggestion, don't move your hands so much when standing still. Everything else was great!

Who ya gonna call... BOOSE BUSTERS!

0:53 bro how and Where to exctract files?

22:28 : yes it is, DO NOT STOP :D

I can't even count how many times I dragged my poor dad there as a kid. I also hated it when we drove, since it was so much more fun to take light rail.

i had no idea hyce had a tutorial for moding derail vally till i googled how to mod derail vally and he was the top google search

Should have bought a bigger house then could have it all on one level. Thinking this is bigger than Rod Stewart's.

Citation?

At 28:50 break out your poling pole. Not any more unsafe than Dutch drops...

Fun fact, our smallest map in Century of Steam will be 41 times the area of this layout, *after* it's been scaled up from HO scale.

Very good. I've been playing train sim since 2001 (MSTS) and I understand the brakes from watching how they behave, but this helps with some of the mechanical details.

I'm wowed like you. Even though I watched it all, I downloaded to watch again. To much to take in all at once.

Ummm why are you fiming the guy cackeling instead of the layout?

You forgot a type mate

Hello hyce

The ES&DT the only railroad that offers a free coffin for every ticket purchased

I know this is harder to edit but this was so fun to watch

"TRAIN! I thought there wasn't supposed to be one!" said the engineer of the number 5.
