The generator is only on the Climax and the Heisler and is a steam turbine used to generate electricity for those locos electric lights. The compressor uses steam power to fill the air reservoir for the air brakes on some of the locomotives (including the Mogul). No air means no brakes. Please stop commenting that the generator and/or compressor make the locomotive more powerful. Also note that the UI doesn't sync up so even though my compressor is on it shows 0% in the UI. Thank you!

3% is mountain grade. The steepest grade ever was 4.24% I believe on a now disused line. .8% to 1% is Light grade. 1% to 1.8% is heavy and anything about 1.8% is mountain. That's all for main line. Spurs that went into logging picks up and stuff sometimes hit 5%+ and that's where the geared locomotives shined.

[@raphaelbrasse1996]

The steepest grade of a adhesion railway in use today is 13.8% (Lissabon tramway). And for the US, the Cass Scenic Railway is 11.1%.

[@BrandonH88102]

Steepest mainline grade in the US was Saluda grade. Average grade of 4.24% with a maximum grade of 4.9%. The grade was so steep trains were usually split into 3 parts and taken up one part at a time with many helpers attached. They even had runaway tracks a lot like runaway truck ramps.

[@kristianstaalby8499]

The curves are out of this would. You really should lay out your tracks for maximum speed, avoid steep inclines, (smooth them out over longer distances) and make yards with shunting in mind. To end off, the game really needs a way to remotely operate the switches, even if it is unrealistic.

[@KerboOnYT]

The track was laid in a hurry for the Porter and is being relaid as needed. Much like real world 😀

[@HannoBehrens]

My suggestion for the remote switching is, that you can build a little telegraph station, have to enter a station somewhere and key through your path, so if you are in station 01 to station 02 and station 03 something like: "02 DE 01 SW LEFT + 03 DE 01 SW RIGHT " No, I don't want you to type, I want you to key the signal in with a morse key. That's fun! And then it's realistic, because that's the way it worked. You had an operator in a little hut, waiting for the message coming through the whole day. Going out and switching the junctions, handling the signals and giving feedback. 73 DE DL7HH

Advice for dev to modifying a railway arrow to add lever 100 meters before the arrow to change direction without stopping train

[@Failer__]

27:20 it seems that you typed in name in "number" tab, and number in "name tab" that's why it didn't let you put more than 4 characters on 203 carriage. It was the number tab.

You should get yourself a little betsy so she can pick up the train cars and have them ready for you and use it as a shunt train

[@georgianbents]

I was testing and as long as even half your car is even with just the stairs, the offload will count. So, the platforms seem to go from stair end to stair end, and I mean the end in the grass. So you can actually do 8 cars on the west depot platform instead of 7.

[@RVJimD]

[@KerboOnYT]

[@gtw5812]

Great videos! Just curious, since I run real steam locomotives..... have you ever cut back your reverser lever to about 30 percent once rolling with a train? This should increase speed in real life, by reducing stroke travel, plus save steam / fuel. Also curious about the big Consolidation, one of my favorite locomotives......they say " no brakes", which I find had to believe. Two things. One, leave the compressor on all the time. Two, if it actually has no brakes, open the cylinder cocks, and place the reverse lever about 25-30 percent in reverse to stop. This is called "Antebellum" handling, a practice used near the turn of the century. With the cocks open, it will reduce the chance of cylinder damage, but slow the locomotive..... once again, really nice videos!

[@KerboOnYT]

Thanks for the info. The reverser in game is just a simple reverser so none of those IRL tricks actually work. The only effect I've seen from reducing the reverser is a loss of power. Opening the cocks doesn't seem to do anything but provide a nice visual effect

[@alexpym8216]

You wouldn't use the handbrakes on the freight cars to go downhill. In real life it can be very damaging.

[@ludvigherneklint1625]

Well.. Before pneumatic brakes were invented and in widespread service, that was the only way to do it. Brakemen spread out along the train together with the steam brake on the loco

[@StephendeRiel]

As the other commenter said, using handbrakes on cars going downhill was absolutely the norm, at least for logging railroads. They'd be set at a certain amount depending on the hill and used to control speed, since very few railroads had the $ for air brakes. A couple RRs didn't even have locomotive air brakes in the early 20th century. The trainmen would climb over logs to get to the brakes which were almost under the car on most logging trucks (the type of logging car where each car is just one bogie and sets of two are connected with a log spine), which was very unsafe and often deadly. I've mostly studied Northeastern logging RRs, but I can say that air brakes were basically nonexistent on most logging operations.

[@dash7828]

Loving this railway youve designed. First time watching the channel and some pretty decent stuff fron this video alone. Although, while I dont have the game (yet) and cant confirm this, I saw someone commenting on one of Kan's videos that when yoy get your train to speed, it might help to take down the percentage on the reverser. They compared keeping the reverser at 100% like keeping your car in 1st gear. Something to test off camera maybe, and if it works let me know cuz that'll be super useful when I get the game for myself.

[@KerboOnYT]

The reverser is just a simple reverser right now but might change in the future to be more realistic. I tested on both Porters and the Mogul and lowering the reverser just led to a drop in power

idk if it was ever a thing, but they should implement mechanically automatic switches, at least on the split end not the splitting end so the switches get pushed to the safe open position when a train rolls over the actuators. they could implement a train side points-pusher, which i'm pretty sure was a thing somewhere, but that deviates from the real trains so i don't think they'd be willing to implement that. also, sometimes the point of a game is to deal with inconvenience, and implementing convenience features can detract from immersion.

[@launcesmechanist9578]

When it comes to pulling heavy loads, do the locomotives have wheel slip? Anyway, when starting with heavy loads, rule of thumb is to start the sander so that you have enough traction and then stop it once you get moving. Geared locomotives are known more for their tractive power and pulling strength. They were purpose built for mountainous, curvy tracks and terrain. Do not assume however that 'geared locomotive' means it has a 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear. The steam engine turns a central gear (or series of gears) which in turn rotates a drive shaft connected to all the wheels and turns all the wheels together. Hence why geared locomotives are designated 0-6-6-0, 0-8-0, 0-12-0 because all their wheels are drivers. They're not fast, max speed 40-45mph I think, but they can handle steep grades and tight turns that would derail most standard locomotives and even modern diesels and diesel-electrics. Railroad History: The famous American Engineer, Casey Jones, during his time shuttling passengers at the World's Columbian Exhibition in 1893, became enamored with one of the latest steam engines on display, the Consolidation 2-8-0 type 2 locomotive which was, to my knowledge, a heavy, and powerful, mixed goods engine capable of pulling passengers and freight. The engine he was driving when he was killed however, was a Rogers Ten-wheeler (4-6-0) number 382 nicknamed 'Ole Cannonball'. The Rogers was a similar design to the Mogul. Kinda wonder if the developers will put either one or both engines in the game at some point

Yes, wheel slip is modelled and sometimes you have to use sand and/or modulate the regulator to avoid it. I plan to get a geared loco when funds allow

Do you need to line up junctions everytime it's not your direction? IRL when you drive the other way in a junction that is not lined up your way, you basically force your way through it and the junction gets pushed open. Not healthy for modern junctions, but we have an old, small train from an old iron mine in our backyard (no joke) and i've did that several times. No problem because you just cross into the tracks. But idk if that also works in the game.

this look cool i tryed the pirate version, but i still dont understand the point of game, all you do is moving sliders, and deliver some vagons?

[@KerboOnYT]

You could say that about any game. You're just shooting a gun, you're just driving a car, etc.

[@oskarmihalovic3903]

@@KerboOnYT well am playing some sim games, but most of them have some content, upgrading, skins, customing parts,some progres, i dont see any of this here, except 3-4 locomotive and 3-4 type of load on vagons, maybe i missing something idk

[@KerboOnYT]

You're missing the early access part ;) They're just getting started and have a lot more planned. Their Discord has a proposed locomotive tech tree with dozens of locomotives

[@oskarmihalovic3903]

@@KerboOnYT nice nice, the game have potential

[@Ladyoftheroundtable]

what are you going to do when the tender runs out of wood? just buy a new train? I couldn't imagine filling it by hand

[@KerboOnYT]

I've been topping it off occasionally so it's not too bad a little at a time

[@Javious_Rex]

To ease the reloading of firewood you can toss the wood through the tender walls from the outside.

[@Ladyoftheroundtable]

@@Javious_Rex the time isn't the issue. It's the number of clicks

[@Javious_Rex]

@@Ladyoftheroundtable True, I have multiple issues with firewood, adding to the fire box is hit or miss and reloading tenders. The game is designed as multi-player and several people loading firewood would be less painful.

[@Mizant69]

You deserve way more clout than this my man

[@jordy7028]

i love this game

[@MarcDupont]

Wasn't expecting this today. Cool. You're like a real youtuber now. Feeling to presure to feed the audience LOL.... I can sure see how a multi player with shunters at all the industries and a mogul main line would be a riot.

[@KerboOnYT]

I had the time so got a Saturday episode out. No promises for Tuesday though 😀

[@nickdoyle1329]

this train has done so well, she needs a name

[@kevinStyler6299]

This episode was fun! I love the look of this game.

[@SaxonIVKGames]

Yay new episode imma go watch it

[@AllThingsRailroad]

How many cars do you got on that bad boy?

[@KerboOnYT]

12 stake cars with iron and 2 empty hoppers

[@lachyness]

Yea this train is godly

[@erikhoglund666]

Love it! Need to relay some of the curves so big trains can pass more easily 😅😅👌🏻🛤

[@KerboOnYT]

Yep, the RR is a work in progress

[@Peepjouster27]

The one thing I see all the KZbinrs do that frustrates the heck out of me, is the inherently tight loopback turns... In reality there would just be yards and turntables at the end of a line. That's what I use!

[@Peepjouster27]

I assume it's for the sake of the videos. But still.

[@KerboOnYT]

Plenty of railroads used balloon tracks to turn entire trains and tight curves were common for narrow gauge so I'm not sure why you would be frustrated

[@Peepjouster27]

Kerbo maybe that’s more of a western/strictly narrow gauge thing. I grew up in the white mountains, lots of old rail lines in those parts being run as tourist operations today, you won’t find any in those parts, the terrain won’t allow for it.

[@Peepjouster27]

Kerbo (I also find the yard planning & management to be a really fun challenge I’d like to see others tackle)

[@KerboOnYT]

The terrain does allow for it here on my RR :)

[@morganashfordmusic3432]

use the sand, compressor and generator for that locomotive

[@morganashfordmusic3432]

never mind i just watched on lol but use the sander

[@mrmooneys5883]

Btw are you going to be streaming this week or no

[@KerboOnYT]

I can usually work in a stream or 3 during the week but it all depends on work and family commitments. The schedule is random

[@mrmooneys5883]

Yeeeees new episode

[@Velor_X]

This is game is amazing

[@totalyanoob3620]

At the amazing spot you ned to do * amazing * so you get *amazing*

[@spongeorpete7289]

Cool!

[@buckrodgers1162]

At about 9:00 things like that is why this game looks better with more than one person. But it's also why I would want something more powerful than even that Mogul. Like the old '4014'. But still, even if I personally can't afford the time to play it myself, it does look good.

[@xumpxs]

To make the train go faster you have to use the generator all the way up and the compressor

[@KerboOnYT]

Please see pinned comment

[@luisross3690]

on generator, on compresor, train fast /s

No that is not how that works

[@koko__official2259]

hey man you might want to turn the generator and compressor on so that the train will go faster

[@everythingfeline7367]

That's a myth. Generator is used for electric lights. Compressor is used for air brakes.

[@KerboOnYT]

[@rileydowell1626]

Tip if you need some more power for hills run the generator and compressor it will help with torque

Nope that is not how it works
