With regards to the accent, I think it depends what you're talking about. If you're roleplaying as the mechanic driving the train, do the accent. But if you're talking about Westinghouse brakes and out of game stuff and how American trains work, then the accent is a bit much.

Some tips: You CAN actually get of the train while it is moving, you just have to slow down to about 5Kph to avoid injury. Every throttle notch has a speed it will hold you at. Notch 1~2 will keep you under 5kph, good for If your throwing switches outside the train, but want it to stay moving. Notch 10~11 will hold you around 40kph, good for those dangerous areas the game warns you about which BTW are usually indicating sharp curves or other areas were going to fast might cause a major incident (the first one you saw seemed to be indicating a small yard). Notch 16 will hold you at about 60Kph which is a good line speed for this railroad, hence why it is called out as the "optimal position". Turn your heater off occasionally, either when it is hot enough in the cab, or when you are leaving it. It saves some wear and tear on them. It is always nice to keep some spare parts on you. You of course already have some spare train controls and heaters in the other unit's cab. As for parts to purchase, I recommend getting some spare shocks, a speedometer( the one in the other cab will wear out around the same time as the one in your main cab), light bulbs for the buffer lights, and brake cylinders. Those wear out the fastest in my experience followed by bearings and journal box leads. The rest of the parts wear out slow enough to not really be an issue. Just remember to keep an eye on things and you should be good.

[@Hyce777]

Thank you for the tips! My next episode is already filmed, but I'll look to these for next-next time. :)

[@Knsgf]

42:15 "Field Generator" is supposed to toggle exciters, which power motor fields for dynamic braking. But since DB doesn't work in the game, the switch does nothing besides making vacuum cleaner noise.

[@KarolOfGutovo]

34:55 actually, idk how bout Russia but in Poland the colored lights are for more than just tail signalling. Running with various combinations of lights can signal things like going on the left(wrong) track, doing shunting, or an emergency, besides the usual front and end of train signals.

[@xanukraine]

About optimal position thing… Those old primitive DC locomotives, like VL10 in the game, only have 3 “optimal” positions: -all traction motors in sequence -sequence of several groups of parallel running motors -all motors in parallel Any intermediate positions between those 3 are created by connecting resistive elements that reduce traction motor power by burning electricity into heat, which results in abysmal efficiency.

[@Grigori423]

Yeah, those gaps on a BEANS lever like position 16 means that you are in one non-resistive position, so none of the "go places juice" is wasted

[@crazychris960]

I got familiar with this system thanks to the older trains in SimRail.

[@Streaky100001]

I had a look at some UK based stuff on train lamps. I found it interesting and amusing to read the reason why it was a requirement for all trains and light engines to display tail lamps. To paraphrase, the tail lamps exist to provide evidence to the signalman that no part of the train has become detached..... that's excellent!

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

Gated off areas are usually industrial sidings, its basically to stop the workers from that industry trespassing on the main and allows for controlled access

[@Hyce777]

Interesting. We use derails, without a gate. But that makes sense.

[@Canleaf08]

According to EBO law in Germany, you need two white lamps in front and one upper white lamp (Spitzenlicht) and the end side has to be either two red lights or two reflecting red white signs. Then it is a train in Germany and most of Europe. This is interesting with the tram trains in Karlsruhe, where railway tracks under EBO law are connected to the city's tram tracks under BoStrab law, because the trams here can use the regular railway infrastructure with equipment fitted for both legislations. Normally, a Strassenbahn does not have a Spitzenlicht in Germany. I am not so deep into this.

[@Hyce777]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@brillbusbootcamp2320]

[@benceseger7748]

About that grade at 2:33 at that gate, it reminded me of a story I heard from a locomotive engineer in Hungary. There's a depot in Budapest, where Stadler FLIRT EMU's are taken to get cleaned, remove graffiti and it even has a specialized cleaning facility in case a train hits a pedestrian they can wash the train off properly. Anyways, that place has a very steep grade and an electrical boundary (not sure if pantograph down or circuit breaker off only) and on top of that a 10 km/h speed limit. Now, the engineer says, he has two options: either go at the speed limit and risk getting stranded and have them bring out a diesel locomotive which takes over an hour while they're yelling and swearing at him or go over the speed limit and risk getting fired. He chose the latter.

[@Pystro]

"born in a barn because i left the door open" i didnt know you were a wordsmith too comrade hycekov

There is a common russian saying "в хлеву/сарае родился" (literally "born in a barn/shed") that is used to passive-agressively dunk on someone who has specifically left the door open. I didn't know that it's also a thing in english until this video, but from a quick google search it looks like it is, but has a somewhat broader meaning of being generally uncultured.

[@LexsZero]

24:09 Gates across tracks are commonly used as part of perimeter fence for large factories and other industrial facilities that have their private branch lines but only rarely run trains on them. Some depots or maintenance yards also sometimes use it, but it's far less common. Also, that style of concrete fence is everywhere in post-soviet countries and has a bit of a cult status in certain circles, there are all sorts of merch you can find with that PO-2 fencing panel design.

[@jordyboy62]

I'd assume the brakes not working when there is no power is to prevent you from soft locking by braking to a stop in an unpowered location.

[@panzerkampfwagonmausbattalion]

Soft locking?

[@jordyboy62]

@@panzerkampfwagonmausbattalion a soft lock is where you make a game unable to progress through your actions or glitches. A hard lock is a crash. So since stopping in an unpowered section would mean your train cannot get power and start again, the game is unprogressable.

[@QuorkQTar]

5:55 - Who'd have guessed charging the brakes has an effect on their effect :D At least that is my careful guess of what might be happening here 🤔 Given how bad it braked in the first episode. 6:40 - Yep, we do use slips regularly over here. The one showed here is often also called an "Englishman", because they've first been popular in the UK. They are usually built for max 40 km/h in the diverging routes. There is also what's called outside slips or "Bäseler" after the guy who invented them. They're more complicated with the point blades being outside the crossing ("diamond"), thus needing eight instead of four frogs, but they allow for 60 km/h in the diverging routes. They're not only used in transit but also on regular railways. However, this being said, their maintenance is way trickier and thus they're decreasing in number, being replaced by regular switches where the space allows for it. 10:25 - I commented on that in the "what's a train" video in more detail, so I'll just put it in very short and simplified terms and brushing over national variations: Over here in Europe, a train is a movement over the main line and is usually defined by its timetable (not to be confused with a schedule) and train number. It carries train signals (effectively three whites = front of train and two reds/two red-white boards = end of train) but isn't defined by them, with shunting movements commonly keeping the train signals of the train they were before, or carrying the train signals of the train they'd become. Some vehicles can't even *not* show train signals while moving, like many multiple units. This being said, some countries have a bit more information conveyed by train signals; Poland e.g. changes one of the two bottom whites for a red when running on the "wrong" track of a dual/multi track line (not sure what for, must be some historic remnant), Switzerland has three reds as an alarm signal etc. 14:40 - Yeah, good bread is definitely something way better than toast :D 15:30 - ɪˈvan. First letter is like the i in bit. Third letter is like the a in bra. 18:01 - That does read like there's brake charging/filling and preparation involved. 41:40 - Well, that's how we do it over here =D Headlights aren't for seeing, they are for being seen. Stuff you could see is too close anyways to do something about it 🤷 Obviously there are exceptions like running on sight where you'd use what I think you called the high beam once. But in regular running - low lights. 57:00 - (ish, didn't note the time stamp) Восточная (Vostochnaya) means "Eastern". So it's just the Eastern station of the city you're in. 59:30 - Did you consider learning Kroatian? Might be interesting, also for the music project =) 1:03:10 - Okay that's hopefully a bug. Brakes not working without electricity is utter BS. The brake system has nothing to do with electricity at all … 1:07:10 - Weird toilet …? It's a basic old school flushing toilet with the water tank above the toilet and a rope for opening the flushing valve. I'm sure old WC in the US worked the same? 1:09:00 - Didn't you want to try to sell the hand gun to them? 🤔 In a weird, somewhat trashy way this is fun. Thanks for showing it!

Are there any "missions" on the ЧМЕ? Those six axle diesel-electric heavy shunters and freight locos were used where I live. I heard them late at night working hard, sometimes as pushes up the incline from Devínska Nová Ves to Lamač in Bratislava. Same type was exported to the USSR en masse in the old days, where they got the designation ЧМЕ or ČME in Latin. No wonder they were called Čmeliak (bumblebee), as their abbreviation in the former USSR was phonetically "ČME" (Tschme). And the word for bumblebee in Czech and Slovak is čmelák/čmeliak. Of course, in Russian the abbreviation was Czechoslovak motor-electric locomotive or so, I guess.
