Full Steam Tutorial! | Trainz A New Era | #5

Green lights are for eerie ambiance when stopped at a foggy station, naturally.

[@ECGadget]

This is the sort of answer I needed. Perfectly accurate!

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

The cut off is the amount of steam that is allowed to enter the cylinder. And you control that with the reverser.

[@harikrishnan1954]

Does this have automatic fireman!?

[@ECGadget]

It does, if you wish it to have

[@watershipfalls5520]

Something always goes wrong when I try this part of the simulation, I always get stuck on the gradients. And everytime I get to the part where I'm supposed to shut off steam and let the train coast, I instead lose momentum and struggle to get it back, leading me to end up struggling on the next gradient! Edit: Okay, I realize the problem, I'm not getting up to 30% speed, how do I get up to speed?

Locomotive classification lights Classification signals - colored flags by day, lights by night - were once used throughout North American railroading. U.S. railroads used a single light and outer lens, with colored lenses in between that could be changed as needed. Canadian roads used three separate lights; on diesels these were often located near the numberboards on the front of locomotives. The purpose of classification lights was to help identify the train on which they were displayed. The three colors and their meanings were as follows: White. Indicated an "extra" train not shown in the timetable. For much of railroad history, train-movement authority was granted by timetables. If a train was listed in the timetable, it had the authority to operate according to its printed schedule. Deviations from the timetable, such as a train running late, were handled with train orders from the dispatcher. Under this "timetable-and-train-order" system, it was important that trains kept as close to schedule as possible, and that any special trains not shown in the timetable be clearly identified as such with a white light. Many freight trains operated as extras, and thus carried a white classification signal. Green. Indicated that, while the train displaying the lights was a regularly scheduled one, a second section was following behind it. This was done, for example, when ridership demand exceeded the capacity of a single passenger train. If there were too many passengers for a single section of, say, New York Central's 20th Century Limited, a second section was operated, and, if needed, a third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth. The engine of each section except the last would display green lights. While each section was a separate entity, the timetable's "train 25" would not be considered to have passed a given point until the last section of the train had gone by. For operational convenience, special trains that otherwise might have carried white "extra" signals were sometimes operated as advance or second sections of regular, but unrelated, trains. Red. Indicated the end of a train. A train, be it a single engine, a group of engines, or an engine(s) with cars, must have a marker on the rear end. In the (relatively rare) situations when the last element in a train would be a locomotive, the red lights would be lit.

Fantastic! Thank you very much for that in depth explanation for lighting! We certainly have a different way of lighting our trains (except the red light at the back of course). Now I wonder if there is a way to change to the lights on that engine...

Can someone tell me how you name your Mikados and Mountains?(like a Mikado is a 2-8-2) Edit: did Auran reuse their Trainz 2000 Big Boy whistle for this version of Trainz? That whistle is nearly 20 years old now!

[@ECGadget]

If you are referring to the 2-8-2 config, it is the front wheels, the driving wheels then the trailing wheels. So in this case, the Mikado has 2 small front wheels, 8 driving wheels, and then 2 trailing wheels. Also no idea about the whistle!

[@eliteproductions7636]

How to release steam?

[@tt-wisty6878]

14:25 why are you going half the speed limit?

[@piyasutra20]

This steam locomotive is a Chesapeake and ohio kanawha aka Berkshire

[@harikrishnan1954]

Is this the only steam locomotive available in Trainz A New Era stock game!?

[@ECGadget]

I am not too sure of that

[@KwabenaL.]

No it's so there are LMS And other British engines

[@silentwraithog7638]

The green lights are the class lights fo the locomotive

[@ECGadget]

I have been told differently now; it is to do with timetabling I believe

[@silentwraithog7638]

ECGadget who knoes

[@wildman510]

What I do: turn and move everything I can

[@ECGadget]

Maybe now you will do less of that!

[@BKRproductions6468]

I tried following this tutorial but for some reason it didn't work. My engine is currently at a standstill UPDATE: A YEAR LATER WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE

[@watershipfalls5520]

My train is like that too, I've made progress, But I always hit a snag somewhere.

[@LegoPrime7]

I like steam engines better than diesel and electric engines

[@IroncladInSteam4007]

The wheel is a reverser

[@IroncladInSteam4007]

😂😂😂

[@IroncladInSteam4007]

Damn you knew

[@ECGadget]

I did yes, I just had a complete blank moment as to the name for it!

[@KwabenaL.]

Your video triggers me so much. Stop making fun of our engines, they are beautiful!

[@jasongeerer8163]

Thank you for saying that! I love all the old steam trains! They are a work of art....what got under my skin is his dislike of the horn! Hes a brit....hes never heard one before!

[@ceciliaruiz4406]

Yeah They are very Historical Without There would be no such thing of Transportation

[@LegoPrime7]

Steam engines are my favorite 😃 and Berkshire’s class 2-8-4 is my favorite type of steam locomotives 😀
