[@QuorkQTar]

I'll say that I do think the *Railroad Safety Blues* by you would be a nice song =) Around 58:50; in Germany we had (and actually still have) fireless steam engines. That's steam engines for industrial use, they are filled up off site and then operate off that pressure. Sounds crazy, but it's for industries where you need to be very careful with potentially explosive stuff in the air (gasses, flour dust and the likes) and that's also the reason why they're still in use (the latest in Germany were actually built in the late 80's, the last ones in '88); both combustion engines and electric engines do have the risk of sparks.

[@LionkingCMSL]

In regard to wheel slip controls, the EMD F7, 1949, as built had a wheel slip indicator light, and the engineer had to manually reduce the throttle. A GP38's, 1966, wheel slip system had some automatic functions, but the operator's manual warned that the engineer should reduce the throttle only in severe wheel slip conditions. I have Operator Manuals for a number of locomotives including the F7, GP9, and GP38.

Tip for flicking the double-switches, that are back to back: if you just look at the overlayed levers, you activate the one from the further switch. I don´t know, why the game does that, but it´s pretty useful, because you don´t have to worry, if you do it stanging on the front board of the locomotive ^^

[@Eternon2000]

Hey Hyce, I hope you´re doing great. First of all i´d like to say that ever since i discovered your channel i´ve been learning a lot about steam locomotives and trains in general and i absolutely love it so thank you. Second of all, i´d like to talk for a minute about my railroads online world, because even though i´m just some guy who doesn´t know the history behind every american train ever made or the purpose of building tracks in specific ways in order for them to be as cheap but efficient as possible. I have spent months building a map since the spline update where everything is conected by two way tracks and every industry has space for switching and storing plenty of rollingstock. The most important feature about it is that everything is conected with just 0.5 inclines (maybe in a couple of small places it reaches 1%). Since you are the inspiration behind it i´d love to share it with you, not for a video just so you can tell me anything about it. I could send you a map screenshot or maybe if you want i could share the save file, although i´d understand if you don´t have time for something like that. I just joined your discord because i don´t even know why i wasn´t there to begin with so i can share it there if you want. At the moment this map allows me to take 60+ long trains anywere, although pulling them takes 3 engines: The (2,6,0) Cooke, the Glenbrook and the mosca. But i dont know were the limit is because i only have 60 carts because i was saving for the new locomotives. I love to watch every single one of your videos when i have some spare time or to have them as background while i play. Thank you so much for uploading this type of content that not so many people seem to enjoy and i hope i keep learning more every day from you.

Regarding the size of the pipes: a lot of the common sizes of casing (pipe directly in contact with the ground, prevents well fluids from leaving the well) we have in our wells are 13 3/8" from surface to around 500' deep (surface casing), 8 5/8" inside that from surface to around 2000' deep (interme casing), and 5 1/2" inside that from surface to formation around 5300' deep (production casing). There's also cement between each layer and the next, and also between each casing and the ground all to hold it in place. Inside the production casing is a string of tubing, usually 2 7/8" for us. The tubing is where most of the fluid production comes from, with the space between tubing and casing allowing most of the gas flow to not go through the pump and mess with its efficiency. As far as the size in game, and especially the game era, that does seem awfully large to me to be used for drilling and more for line pipe as kAN said.

[@fireutility21]

@13:08 I found another way to "gameify" in game. Unloading cars onto other cars. No I haven't tried this with coal/iron ore, tools, oil, or barrels. But, it works with everything else so far. I build dual track at all my loading platforms and then stage cars side by side. Hit the crane, it loads the immediate car, when full, unload it into the car next to it. The crane will continue to load the first car. You move your empties as the first car loads again, repeat the cycle! I've loaded a 8 car cordwood train in approximately half the time that way.

So for the update, we have gotten: The Mason Bogie 2-6-6T ET&NWC 2-8-0 Ruby Basin 2-8-0T Cooke 2-6-0 (Coal Burner) Coffin Tank car EBT Hopper Cattle Car Skeleton car Notes on the cars EBT Hopper carries ten coal/eight iron ore Coffin Tanker carries eight crude oil Skeleton car carries 5 logs As for the Stock Car-I don't know it's limit for carrying tools (until we get cattle) Also, watch your coal usage, as when you are working hard, you will be eating coal like candy. Also, there are new sheds, water towers and coal tower as well as a three way stub ended switch track. One warning on that three way stub ended switch, you have to constantly set the switch as it doesn't kick over like the other switch tracks in game. Plus, with the hopper having two different cargo amounts, make your choice whether or not to use it for either mineral. if you have eight ore at the iron ore mine, then the EBT Hopper is the best choice, as it means your not wasting one of the existing hopper for carrying less than it's capacity. As for the Skeleton log cars, you can't even send it, as these things will fly all over the bloody place. Also, you want them behind the big log cars as they will be sandwiched off the rails if the skeleton car is between two bigger log cars. Also, with the skeleton log cars, they are $200 compared to the $300 of the bigger car, making it easier to run log trains and they are perfect for working with Betsy or any of the smaller engines. As for the Coffin Tanker, they are slightly heavier than the original tankers when empty, making them weigh the same when loaded as the original when the original tanker was loaded. If you have any grades up to the refinery, you'll either double the hill or double head the train up the hill (I should know as the only 10% grade on my route is the grade to the refinery). Also, if you really wanted to use a tank engine for a train this size, the Ruby Basin 2-8-0T would be ideal, but like the Glenbrook, you can't send it as you will bin the entire train, same with the Mason Bogies. Have fun.

Those boxcars look like the 6000 series used by the famous Virginia and Truckee railroad (standard gauge) out in Nevada. I believe there were some preserved at places like the Nevada State Railroad Museum and the California State Railroad Museum, but two of that series of cars, numbers 6010 and 6012; along with a couple of the V&T's passenger cars and the pride of the V&T, the 4-4-0 "Reno". were preserved at Old Tucscon Studios, a movie studio and theme park out in Arizona responsible for many a Western, both on TV and the silver screen. Sadly however, a few years back there was a large fire at the studio and all four cars burned along with the Reno and her tender. All the wood on Reno was burnt, her cab was destroyed, the paint and brass were blistered. and the only things left of the cars were the metal trucks. The cause of the fire was never determined. Reno herself was cosmetically restored but she's still blackened and burnt. She was also converted into a steam-outline engine by putting a diesel engine in her tender and an air compressor in her boiler. She'll never move again.

I have heard that the Nickel Plate Road would sometimes put two Berkshires on a train, one pulling and one shoving. The second one would cut off at yard limits, and the first one would pull the train to the next yard. The train was too heavy for one engine to start, but once it was moving the singular Berk could keep it moving, at speed as well. Of course, that only worked if it never had to stop again for another train. (This is where you want that double-track nickel-plated road, right?)

Electric motor torque also varies somewhat as the motor turns, because there are only so many rotor and stator coils, and their relative position matters. Traction motors are designed to minimize this effect, and you have however many drive wheels instead of 2 pistons, so it's not usually a concern for a diesel-electric locomotive. But a sufficiently cheap hobby motor can definitely "center up" under load and refuse to start. Heck, that's part of why fan motors switch from off to the highest speed.

Ok I have something you can talk about in your nest recording with Kan. How does weight effect traction with a steam engine? This is something that I have debated in the Stormworks discord repeatedly because trains in Stormworks don't behave like you would expect them too. My argument is that increasing the weight of an engine would increase the traction it would have on the tracks, this is because I have built train engines with 100% power to the track (meaning every contact wheel is applying power from the engine to the rails) and engines that are applying 70%-80% power to the rails, and both will still spin the wheels even unloaded. And no matter how much weight I add to the engine itself the wheels will always slip, weather at speed or starting from a stand still.
