The fellow members got a chance to read this in the members-only post, but I'm feeling a little generous. Here is my rendition of Jerry Reed's 'The Legend' (from Smokey and the Bandit btw): 🎶"You've heard about the legend of Jesse James, or John Henry, just to mention some names. Well there's a train runnin' legend in the west today: a man called Hyce from Golden, C-O! Every train foamer knows his name. Ya swear he's got rails a'runnin' through his veins! A hand like lead, and nerves of steel, he's gonna go to glory on a 4-4-0." 🎶"He left Golden back in '23, haulin' him a load up to Inner Bay. He hit Kenosha Pass in a drivin' rain, so hard he couldn't see the eastbound line. Well he started down grade when he lost the sand. Grabbed the automatic, found he had no air. Ol Kenosha Pass was steep and long, and everybody that could see, thought the birbman was gone!" 🎶"When the drivers slipped traction and started slidin' on, he was headed down the pass about the speed of sound. A lot of folks seen him, and they all say, he had his head out the window yellin', 'CLEAR THE WAY!'" 🎶When he go to the bottom, safe and sound, everybody asked ol Hyce how he made it down. He said, 'Folks, when the choo-choo picked up too much speed, I just ran along side it and drug my feet!'" 🎶"You heard about the legend of Jesse James, or John Henry just to mention some names. Well there's a train runnin' legend in the west today, a man called Hyce from Golden, C-O! Every train foamer knows his name. Ya swear he's got rails runnin' through his veins! A hand like lead, and nerves of steel, he's gonna go to glory on a 4-4-0!"🎶

I just bought derail valley the other day after watching you play it... Here's how my first day went! Boiler explosion of an S060 Crashing an S060 at a end of track buffer, derailing it smashing an DE2 into another DE2, smashing the windows Starting a Diesel Flamethrower from a tank car playing and completing the tutorial Binning a DE2 into the bottom of the lake in the middle of the night (this game is a horror game all right) your video's taught me well it seems

[@alexolgr7755]

Thats a classic first day in derail valley. There are worse things such as exploding the whole oil central (which i did in my first day in the game because a switch was in the wrong direction) dont worry.

Hyce, just make sure that the passengers have a couple of extra pairs of underwears. Because they will need it on the ES&D.

On the brake keybinds they actually made the whole thing super intuitive IMO. T/G = Throttle (you know this) then it goes along the keyboard in matched pairs, top row key increases, middle row key decreases) Y/H = Reverser (Simple F/N/R in Diesels and electrics, more like the throttle in steam) U/J = Automatic/Train brake I/K = Independent Brake (Also means that you can remember I = Independent) O/L = Dynamic Brakes P/; = Hand Brake Basically: How fast you want to go, which direction, then Brakes in (general) decreasing order of stopping power and usage. For the DM 3 {/" is your left gear lever, }/| is your right gear lever On the bottom row B/N is sand, M/< is cylinder cocks, and >/? are wipers

[@EpicPuma]

What i used to do on TSW is set up the brake keys in the backlight setting to be red for apply and green for release whenever i started tsw, was helpful for remembering which keys were which

[@michaelimbesi2314]

With regard to hauling the world up the coal mine hill: might I suggest the 2-4-4-2 duplex? If you have sand on, it hauls a lot. You just have to remember that even hauling tonnage uphill, the bar should be hooked up partway to keep it from slipping. It doesn’t really get centered up because it has 4 cylinders, so it’ll just crawl up the hill. That also means that it will usually start with the bar at 50% cutoff or less, since at least one of the cylinders is probably on a power stroke.

[@johnrhodes4273]

To whom it may concern, I’m starting to think the only way to successfully have passenger trains on the ES&D is smaller choo choos. The less driver the less possibility for problems. From now on all passenger trains are limited to 4-4-0 and smaller until further notice. Please take this as a warning that the engineers will be held accountable for any damages caused by not following these “guidelines” . Thank you and have an unsafe day here at the ES&D John Nobody important to the railroad in anyway whatsoever.

1:30 - Oh you do sound more allergy-struck again =\ Hope it got better between the filming time and my watching time^^ 10:45 - Not sure if I described that before. With buffer and chain couplers, the RL procedure would be like this: - safety stop a few metres before the cars (not required in every system, but always a good idea, if you ask me) - gently (< 2 km/h) creep up on the cars (especially with locomotives whose force isn't so finely adjustable it's common to apply a bit of the independent brake and work against that for better control) - compress (as strong as you can; I regularly compress with some 200-240 kN, though that obviously requires proper securement of the cut of cars) and apply the brakes, *then* take down the force - if coupling the heating line, cut the traction system out (obviously not a steam era thing) by lowering the pantograph or shutting the diesel engine down - connect and shorten the hook (leaving no more than two or three thread turns on passenger and no more than five thread turns on cargo trains) - connect the air pipes - connect other stuff if applicable 29:10 - don't jinx it o.o Nice episode again =)

Process makes sense to me; we do safety stops even with knuckles much of the time over here. :)

I don't know how possible it is with the boxcar mapping in DV but some of Hyce"s comments regarding train handling along with the previous passenger runs got me thinking somebody should do some ES&D boxcars with the old passenger service advertising slogans like Ride The Miracle Express. If You get There Alive It's A Miracle or ES&D Quit Complaining You're Alive Ain't Ya

[@makostesztakft]

At this point in time, I ignore a lot of the boards in this "spine" of the map in favor of three anecdotal operating rules: 1. SM wye - CSW: just peg the 60 tick on your speedo and fuhgeddaboudit; enough of the trackage is at 60 or 70 and coasting/cracked throttle at this kind of "common denominator" is economical or whatever (or am I just a Soviet metro designer) 2. that dumb hill west of SM: uphill slow, downhill fast (the tangentlike route on the wye is good for 80 if you can tolerate a singular frightening sideways jerk (we're on SEPTA rules here, not the Rocky Mountaineer lmao)) 3. racetrack east of SM: fine, obey the boards and open it as hard as you can on the north bank part

[@BunTheRabert]

I believe u wanted to know the key binds for the brakes, Independent = I and K. Automatic = U and J. B and N also control the Sanders.

[@NullReference119]

RE: "look at our feet", I guess I watch too much racing. I expect the ES&D to be limited by how hot their break shoes can get. They know the speed limit... they just may push the equipment hard around them.

You can bring up a keybind cheat sheet in game if you press ALT (mouse mode), then click the little keyboard icon that shows up in one corner of the screen.

Hey Hyce, two questions, one related and one not. 1. Out of Curiosity, I remember you mentioning that someone was making an I1sa mod for DV, any updates on that? 2. You also mentioned (I think) you were cohosting a podcast, where can I find it? Thanks for all you do :)

Hey Hyce, if you want to know the keyboard controls of most things: When you hit alt and go into the static camera mode (I forget what it's called) there will be a small button on the top right of the screen with a keyboard symbol. When you press that 3 popups will open listing all the keyboard controls.

At the same time, if you don't want to change them, it'll also show a list of the key binds, to help you memorize them!
