[DV] HAULING A REAL LIFE SIZED TRAIN IN DERAIL VALLEY!

18:45 "I should've brought a caboose." Yes, yes you should have. But not just to tell where the end of your train is. The caboose is equipped with a charger for the loco remote, and(more importantly) a signal booster FOR the remote. if you had a caboose, maybe you could've had enough range to control the locomotives from the back of the train. also, it shows the caboose on the world map, so you would've been able to tell where the end of your train was

It's interesting - any game with economy is built for small trains, but any game built as a "driver/driving" was built for big trains. All we need is RRO to have a bigger map and quicker freight car loading, and we'll have ourselves a diamond in the rough.

[@erumaaro6060]

And if possible, a map where it makes sense to have a marshaling yard(with a hump!). This way you can run long distance mega-trains with cars from several industries to the MY and sort them by destination and reassemble new mega-trains.

[@OscarzProductions]

2700 tons is enough for 2 DE6, but it would have been an interesting time getting out of the harbor up the grade (Each DE6 is rated for 1400t). It also depends on if you are going to the harbor or from it. For instance, my most recent train was/is 1201m long weighing 3,471 tons leaving OWC. I picked up all the Steel and harbor jobs going from iron mine west down towards the harbor. Though I may have an issue going up the grade just south of SM.

I was a kid and liked counting train cars and there were two consecutive Sundays in the early 2000s when my local line into NYC that usually had 50-120 car trains had a 500+ and a 600+ car train. My dad and I couldn’t believe it. It blocked the level crossing for a half hour even though it was moving at speed.

[@Bendigo1]

Where i live, we regularly see 2km or longer trains. It can take 5 to 20 minutes for them to pass depending on their speed. If they stop, you may as well take a 1 hour detour to save time...

[@DFX2KX]

"Accordian forces" Yeah, that sounds about like the free cart I towed home with my Ebike yesterday. which then broke free and rolled down the road on it's own at one point. Toasted the motor I think on top of it, good times! Edit: yes, when diesels run dry, you have to at minimum pull off and refill the filters with fuel, then re-prime the fuel system. Dad used to work in Towing, and regailed several funny stories of having to go out and tow trucks that had run out of gas...

1:02:40 Night shift left you a surprise present. Payed them back by leaving cars blocking the yard. This is what I call realistic railroading.

[@Spanderson99]

There’s something about this game, especially with the airbrake mod installed. Like you, the only run I really know is the Harbour-Steel Mill stretch. Though I was crazy running the steamer through there with 50 cars, I think my laptop would melt well before 75! White-knuckling it into the steel mill with no air left is always a fun time. For future reference, you can bleed the air with shift-b while standing on a car. It only bleeds the brake cylinder, not the brake pipe so the car needs to be dumped for full effect. Best paired with the handbrake mod to avoid accidental runaways. Next time you try a monster train, marshalling the train with your setouts near the head end will help with the RCL issue. Also makes your conductor happy since he doesn’t have to walk so far!

[@Hyce777]

Awesomely entertaining ! It genuinely made me nervous when you were shoving backwards at the steel mill, every time. Don't believe you got that time bonus, or that you didn't "find" a caboose somewhere that you could add to the train ! And OMG those runaway scrap hoppers !

[@Klip]

I'd love to see you do another massive haul, but with some S282's instead. Nothing could possibly go wrong :)

[@cryptoneo]

I'd like to see this as well! I've done multiple S282 runs with up to 3 of them, it's really not that hard except you need to be aware that each section of cars is only braked by the locomotive at the head of it for some reason; I'm not sure if that's realistic behavior if you were really running multiple steam engines on a consist.

[@frayziedaisy]

@@cryptoneo usually the 2nd engine just acts like car while double heading the air compressor is cut out so yeah just one compressor each but usually the other way around, head engine got the automatic breaking control in real life

[@TheMofRider2]

​@@cryptoneoIn real life, no matter if it's steam, diesel or electric, only the brake valve in the leading engine/cab is working, all other locos have their valves in cutoff position. And only that one train driver (who is actually driving the whole train) is in charge of operating the brakes on the train. BUT: If there are drivers on the other locos (mandatory on steam locos, optional on diesel and electric locos which can be remotely controlled from the leading loco) and communication between them is more advanced than giving whiste/horn signals, they can temporarily activate their brake valves to help and speed up filling the brake pipe with air pressure when departing from a stop. Also, each loco can provide additional brake force and speed in case of an emergency brake application, allowing the air to escape quicker and use sand under its wheels.

[@1MBStudios]

I'm not super familiar with locomotive diesel engines, but on automobiles, running out of fuel means air in the injection system. Diesel engines really hate that! You have to bleed the air out of EVERYTHING when that happens, because you have introduced a compressible fluid in a system not designed to work with it. Hope that helps, cheers.

[@Bendigo1]

It isn't so much about adding compressible fluid, but more the lack of lubrication and pressure that can burn up pumps, and the junk that is usually at the bottom of the tank getting into the system and clogging filters. It is also a pain to prime the system when it runs empty of fuel.

[@brianargo4595]

I still don't understand how people think fuel tanks somehow send fuel from the top of the tank. Aerobatic airplanes may have a weighted pickup hose, since they'll probably spend some time fully inverted, but nearly all land based fuel tanks simply have a port or pump at the bottom of the fuel tank. The idea of "junk at the bottom of the fuel tank" screwing up an engine is bunk. If you have an in tank fuel pump and regularly run it low, you'll burn up more fuel pumps because the fuel acts as the coolant, but even in aforementioned airplanes, they're still drawing fuel form the "bottom" of the tank.

[@kevinhicks1108]

Running a diesel out a fuel isn't totally horrible, you just have to manually pump fuel through until all the filters and lines up to the injector pump are full, then crank it until it fires. Under "normal" circumstances they'll fire right back up and run without issue. Worst case scenario you airlock the injectors, and then it takes a LOT of cranking (and maybe some starting fluid) to finally get it running!!

[@buckduane1991]

You have to bleed the whole system when a diesel runs out of fuel. I would’ve recommended not a caboose, but a switcher on the back of the train. Could stop, cut the consist, use it to pull things into place, turn it in, hook to next, repeat, then move to the next place. Or use that third “not really needed” diesel that ran out of fuel and the middle as your primary power and the lead engine for switching… heck, the blocked track you ran into even agrees with me as it sent the cars into orbit.

[@Dusto9]

That's a good sized train! Next up: hooking up ALL the cars in the harbor and hauling them across the map. There can be close to 200 cars in the harbor so you'll want to come prepared. It took me five DE6's to pull about 180 cars up the mountain pass from the harbor and across the map :D

[@Hyce777]

[@Dusto9]

@@Hyce777 Yeah definitely, it took me a good 3-4 hours just to arrange all the cars but it was good fun! You know you've succeeded when the signal booster in the caboose can't reach the back end of the train anymore even though it's in the middle :D

[@Bendigo1]

That is pretty much what I do, except for a few stretches, by the time you get up to 60 or 80, you gotta drop back down to 20 or 40 to make a curve or switch without loosing cars.

[@ninjia7347]

Yes a narrow gauge engineer running a 1300 meter standard gauge train is a good idea.

[@brianargo4595]

A: running a diesel out of fuel means you need to reprime the whole system, which becomes more difficult as the engine gets larger/has more cylinders. 2: Diesel fuel is the lubricant for the injectors, so as you spin the engine to attempt to start it, those injectors are eventually running dry, which CAN wear them out faster, but if you've properly primed the system, it's not likely. If your priming pump doesn't work properly and the only way to get the system primed is to keep the engine running on ether, you'll risk washing and scoring the cylinder walls.

[@0ptera]

Whenever I try building trains from more than 3-5 jobs, I can't stop thinking about what a waste of time shunting a train together for an hour for a run that will take 30min at most and end with another 30-60min shunting to park all jobs... However Oil and Cryo often spawn as long 2. If you get lucky 1km trains are quite easy to achieve. Edit: seeing how you "handled" SM brings back unpleasant memories of me doing the very same thing. xD

[@werta5000]

the reason for running completely out of fuel being very bad is because of the high pressure fuel system. I would assume the filters are because of the crap in the bottom of the fuel tank being drawn into the fuel system. the high pressure fuel system when run empty gets air in it, which of course is compressible and most notably not fuel. If I can recall correctly the unit injectors have issues bleeding because you dont get the air compressed enough to open the poppet valve in the injector. most of my knowledge is of common rail and of the P pumps on Cummins diesels. its all the same with direct injection but for where the fuel is being pressurized. some high pressure fuel systems produce metal shavings when they dont have fuel

[@Armageddon_71]

1:00:00 -ish. True, Diesels (both car engines and bigger) need to have all internals that are supposed to have fuel in them be submerged in fuel the intire time. If you run out you have to release the air out of the system for the next 3-6 hours depending on how big the engine is. Im not sure on filters needing to be replaced (that might be a choo choo only thing) but they need to be submerged completely in fuel again. Gas is just fill it up again and run the engine until it isnt sucking in air anymore.

[@pootispiker2866]

Not true on unit injector engines, which is a lot of them in rail service. While the injectors may not be happy with being run dry, you only need to wait for the lift pump to prime the lines on the top deck before you can start it which takes at most a minute. Getting air out of the injectors takes maybe a few cycles.
