Mission 'Turn Hyce into a Foamer': Success ✅

The red running gear is great for finding damage or cracks, since the dirt/grime sticks to the cracks and creates a easy to see black line.

[@twkolejofil]

And Polish locos additionally had the tyres white 😉

[@vornamenachname727]

5:18 You´re right! Usually in german german locomotives: The round type of heat exchanger is a "Oberflächen-Vorwärmer" (surface pre-heater), where the cold water flows through pipes surrounded by used steam. The square type, seen on "Reko" (Rebuild) locomotives (In East Germany from 1960 onward) mixes the used steam with the cold water. It´s called "Misch-Vorwärmer" (Mixing pre-heater). It´s the easiest way to tell apart a "Altbau" (older build, which means pre-1945) locomotive from a "Reko" (Rebuild) locomotive.

[@JonatanGronoset]

To Greg, if you see this the gauge glass as modelled is the protective shield around the glass tube that contains the actual water. The shield should not contain any water, its only job is to protect the tube from being damaged and protect the crew from the steam and water should the glass tube break. Otherwise the cab is nicely done. The valve gear is excellent.

[@greggorytame6672]

Oh bother, you're right 😅 I'll see about revising that

[@TheMofRider2]

And also, maybe even more important - you swapped directions of the throttle. In real, when the lever is at full right the throttle is completely closed (in German zu - Z)*, and the more left it goes, the more you open it (O). I'm used to that the brakes in DV work opposite to their real life origins, but a mirrored throttle is kinda new to me (or I wasn't attentive enough). *I'm referring to the letters, which can be found on most valves/cranks in a german steam loco cab and on the throttle indicator, f.e. in 20:30

[@IamTheHolypumpkin]

If you ever visit Germany, the largest narrow guage Steamlocomotive network in Germany is the HSB "Harzer Schmalspurbahn" (Harz Mountainrange narrow guage railroad). They are very special in many ways: - 140km (87mi) of Steam powered meter gauge railway. With extentions considered - A tunnel - A turnig loop (like on streetcars) - A short street running section. - A station at a college campus, so you can commute to university by steam locomotive. - a siding where you have to back out, so only a single switch. (legally the siding it's a station but no person or cargo is allowed to enter or alight). - A, section where also actual streetcars operate (by using a secondary diesel engine) - if you enjoy hiking it also a great hiking region within a national park. Also the network is not entirely tailored to tourism they also provide a rudimentary commuter/regional rail service but obviously the majority of revenue comes only from the line up to the mountain peak for those who are to lazy to hike up just two to three hours. You would really enjoy it there.

[@Hyce777]

That sounds awesome!

[@Ronald.Golleher]

I agree with Hyce, that's quite an interesting thing. Has this stayed in service, or was it brought back as a tourist railroad like the main ones Hyce talks about (Cumbres and Toltec, Georgetown Loop, and Durango and Silverton) in Colorado?

[@mikeblatzheim2797]

@@Ronald.Golleher It has mostly stayed in service throughout, the exeption being the route up the Brocken mountain (which was reserved for military purposes, then closed down for a while before reactivated). Most of their rolling stock is also original from this network and has never seen retirement, and they have taken in some locomotives from former railways since (the highlight being a 0-4-4-0 Mallet tank engine from the 1800s which also sees nearly daily service).

[@Armageddon_71]

@@mikeblatzheim2797 The 99.72-73s are also interesting. These 2-10-2s are the most powerfull german narrow gauge locos. Ofcourse dwarfed by the american stuff.

[@HimboJimbo]

Hyce has extremely contagious excitement. Hearing him get excited makes me excited and I don't even know how valve gear works

[@nononat7579]

You've probably have gotten like 10 comments on this already but yes, Most of smokebox's engines have the valve gear animated for every reverser position. (Save for the 2-8-0 Connie, which was all the way back in 2013) But For everything else it is there. It's actually the thing that takes the longest to animate for him I believe. Incredible Model for this though, Stoked that this game is finally getting cool cool shit like this.

[@ajaxengineco]

My favourite big tank engine is the Great Western Railway's own 2-8-2, the '7200' class. But this thing is so brilliant in its own way, amazing to have it in game!

[@dasraffnix9471]

Man I love german trains. As a kid I had an 86, a 52 and an 03

[@kayneahnung3661]

a short note about the cab of the engine: Class 89 and 86 were indeed closely related. In general the engines designed in DRG period (1921 - 1940) really used as many common parts as possible, servicinge the engines was just way easier if you could take the engine apart and just rebuild it with already serviced parts. The prussians did that already to a great extend before WWI - just look at their classes P8, G10 and T16 as example, they share almost everything. The cab being nearly identical also goes back to that standardization effort. The Class 86 is actually considered to be a medium engine. The T20/Class 95 or the Class 94 (bavarian GT 4x4) are the heavyweights of german tank engines. BTW: Germany did not use any US-Parts back then in any railway application - the railway was a national agency, not a private company since it was considered critical infrastructure.

[@sambrown6426]

Someone needs to make an Erie L-1 class for Derail Valley. I can already imagine running from the cab to the back to shovel coal, then running back to the cab to keep driving the thing.

[@Ronald.Golleher]

That sounds horrendous, but would be perfect for multi-player

[@sambrown6426]

@@Ronald.Golleher Plus, that thing's an 0-8-8-0, so it doesn't have leading or trailing wheels, and the whole point of leading wheels is to improve stability in corners, so derailing the thing probably wouldn't be too difficult.

[@Ronald.Golleher]

@@sambrown6426 if that is modeled. Not sure if that would be a physics engine thing to add, or if it's something it takes into account already. Like what's the base game difference between SH2-8-2, DE4, and DE6 as far as wheel arrangement in derail calculations?

[@sambrown6426]

@@Ronald.Golleher Plus, the L1 is articulated, and I'm not sure if the physics engine would support that.

[@JonatanGronoset]

Everything on german locomotives was german! Including the dynamo. ;) I think the dynamos were built by AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft) but can't verify, pics that show builders plates are hard to come by. The Kunze-Knorr system was the german counterpart to the Westinghouse brake. The air pump on the model is the Nielebock-Knorr doppelverbundluftpumpe, or double/cross compound. As mentioned elsewhere the 86 was part of the einhetslok standardization program that started in the 1920s, every loco is built from a set of standardized parts which is why german steamers look the same. The gains in cost and servicability was the drive force behind this radical move as a common part from an 86 could be replaced with a common part from an 01. You could say the DB/DRG was the Pennsy of europe. ;) A playlist with lots of german/european locos for you to study, it shows many great contrasts between american and european locomotive building and operation practices: kzbin.info/aero/PLvnHDnL1qXo825lEZJmZGibPsHPC-VAcg

[@robloxthomasrandoms573]

This class of engine was at a Belgian steam festival where you could ride passenger trains and way more stuff but this engine (the New engine in the vid ) was pulling a train when its safety valve burst and well the fireman and driver were severely burned but recovered. (a little story about that engine cause why not)

Something even bigger whould be class 65. That is a Berkshire tank locomotive with the east german version having 63" drivers and being able to go 90 km/h. Pretty much my favorite german tank locomotive because its pretty big.

[@CMDRSweeper]

You should know by now Hyce that you should NEVER foam near a steam locomotive unless it is the Factorio one running nuclear fuel... Otherwise you will extinguish its firebox and how will you get your steam then? :D

[@victoriaharvey8374]

also the valves on the dome is a blow down pipe for when the locomotive is finish running for the day the open the valve and all the steam is released it best to open both valves as so not to spray your fireman or worker with superheated steam

To add to my problems I didn't realize my trailing Loco(there were 3 on the head end) wasn't configured correctly and the Dynamics did NOTHING. I went through the Horse Shoe 20mph over the speed limit and mumbling "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit Ima bout to have a Kenosha moment before I can get to Altoona!" I was in Full service and Dynamic 8 and she was just slip sliding all the way down.

one last thing: if you use the lean keys(Q & E), you can phase into the firebox. that makes lighting the fire *SO* much easier!

[@Railman1225]

also, it appears that this locomotive models proper fire management! too much coal added, and the fire actually starts dieing out(because irl, the sudden increase in coal smothers the flames somewhat). that's why you had to keep the blower on climbing out of the Harbor & Town.

[@Idaho-Cowboy]

Yep Smokebox models in TS2022 have fully animated valve gear. Love seeing this kind of attention to detail from modelers.

[@legdig]

The reason a lot of british (and so some extent european) locos have tiny single chimes is because they operated in highly populated areas at all hours of the day and in high frequency, I think there were some old LSWR commuter tank engines that had larger whistles that had to be replaced due to noise complaints. I think it was M7's?

[@ajaxengineco]

Either the M7s or the O2s got Caledonian-style hooters attached which were so disruptive as to frighten horses. The Great Western Railway gave it's engines a pair of whistles, one of which was used to alert the guard a brake application was necessary. When both whistles are blown simultaneously, a rather pleasing chime note is issued - although I suspect this is a happy result of the practice as opposed to being by design.

[@General_Taylor]

Hyce saying "nope" in fast speed is the best part. Also, with the 0-4-0 (0-6-0?) I didn't need to remove the coupler mod. That didn't mess anything up. Also, VALVE GEEEEEEAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

[@oliverschofield6396]

Well you learn something new every day

[@marktownend8065]

Many post WW2 BR standard loco tenders in UK had a narrow coal compartment with windshields at the cab end for working safely and comfortably 'backwards'. Some earlier designs, and most built for the war effort (including the US manufactured S160s), also had this feature for maximum flexibility. They tended to be smaller machines up to class 4MT, used on secondary lines and branches. Larger freight and express passenger locos on the main lines particulalry continued with their bigger full height full width tenders for maximum range and were severely speed limited when running reverse due to poor visibility, so had to be turned.
