Leighton BREAKS US via LIVE jeopardy... the BEST YET! | 3/4 Show S3e1

Amazingly halrious as always 🤣. The intro came together even better than initially!!

[@Hyce777]

This is the intro man, myth, and legend, everyone! I just did the music.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias drive through voice: OMG, YES! Brilliant intro, crossing everything that the song Jessica by The Allman Brothers doesn't get into any copyright issues. It was such a flashback of nostalgia moment combined with so much shenanigans! Now I know who to recommend for more intro work!

[@JChristiansenLuckythebrony2222]

If the Krupp-built Mikados are knockoff K-36s, then why don't we import one of them to the states a restore it to represent 485? If I understand correctly there would be no need to convert it to burn oil either since they already burn oil.

[@3801NSWGR.]

Best intro yet

The Top Gear Intro was just a pure nostalgia rush! Absolutely love it! Quick edit: Man that dig on 3985 in the defect category was so low man lol (but not untrue sadly). theres also a joke on the talyllyn that on the early days the track gauge was so freaking wonky because it was poorly maintained, that gauge was 2 foot, 3 inches and one thumb

[@amahashadow]

Yep, I had youtube autoplaying in the background and when I heard Jessica and the intro narration, with big choos on the video I did a massive double take. Even had top gear dog :D great work

[@TitanicKid]

"Attack of the West Texas Drawbar results in losing entire train." For anyone who doesn't know, this refers to an incident with the 4449 when she was running to Railfair '84. While traveling at speed through western Texas, the drawbar retention plate worked itself lose. This retention plate holds in a drawbar pin, which allows the drawbar to connect the tender to the locomotive. Without the retention plate, the pin also worked lose and fell out, causing the train to go into emergency and 4449 to go speeding off with neither train nor tender. Because 4449 has an enclosed back cab (Oil burner, no need to shovel coal.), the only thing the crew in the cab felt was a bump and a sudden acceleration. 4449 has rearview mirrors because of its enclosed cab, and Mr. Doyle McCormack looked through these and spotted the tender and train disconnected. He stopped 4449, the crew went out to figure out what the heck happened, and they recovered the dropped parts. They put engine and tender back together, reconnected the oil and water lines, and continued as if nothing had happened. Now they pay extra attention to these pieces whenever they run 4449. Before this, they almost never thought about them, because how often do you need to separate a loco and tender? If anyone doubts this, there are photos of a tenderless 4449 in the middle of vast, empty west Texas. Look them up.

[@LunaGenYT7905]

There's another instance where 4449 loosened her rod and Doyle McCormick was photographed holding said rod

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Who was best? Bev, without a shadow of a doubt! Runner up: Whoever made that new intro, that was nostalgia in a new wrapping! Third: Goose! Fourth: Leighton, a railroads knowledge gent. Fifth: The disembodied voice in the background, that I'm guessing is Leighton's fiancée, for forcing Hyce to add so many sound effects in such a short time! Sixth: Brett, for winning. Seventh: Hyce, for the bewildered reactions and screams, scaring poor Bev. Do I want to see more? Doesn't the comment length qualify as a yes, I don't know what else to do! What a wonderful group of railroad geeks you are part of Hyce, absolutely brilliant people!

[@Acela2163]

The Little Joes went to the Milwaukee Road and the South Shore Line as they were the only railroads that had a large enough loading gauge and used DC electrification. The name Little Joe references Joseph Stalin, and one of the SSL Little Joe's is operational at the IRM, and was seen on July 1st of this year towing a GG1 and an AEM-7.

[@BaikieRyan]

If I had a nickel for every locomotive that IRM has that was supposed to go to Russia I would have two nickel’s which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I still want to challenge you to a "Who has the most scale model railroad rolling stock" championship. :)

[@tylerodonnell-paccione7523]

I do think that'll be the highlight of the season lol

[@Hyce777]

It may be the highlight of the entire series thus far.

[@3801NSWGR.]

It will be THE highlight

[@wesw9586]

Sweet house, Mister Moreland! Would love a tour of all the trains but if you are unable due to "legal reasons", I understand.

[@peregrina7701]

Y'all are hysterical and had me rolling. Thanks for the fun!! My engineering TA heart rejoiced that Leighton made HO scale into a bizarre ratio that scrambles metric and freedom units. Screwing with units is one of the best ways to addle tender young engineering students.

[@zacharyhaag5989]

23:23 Hyce: it’s called a skillet you dense mother . That is my favorite hyce quote this video.

[@ryank1273]

That may have been the Loco Gordon Ramsey coming out of him.

[@captainkrazee7726]

Hyce, for the catagory “Flanged Stars of the Silver Screen” the question could be “What Colorado narrow gauge railroad hosts the circus train in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” And the answer would be the “C&T.” 484 I believe was the loco in the movie.

[@MachRacer4]

The Talyllyn Railway was 2’3 and 1/2” gauge from around 1865/66 until the 1960’s because Talyllyn’s rigid wheelbase after a rebuild in 1865 to add a trailing axle, was too long for the proper 2’3” gauge and they figured widening the gauge by half an inch would fix it. And it did… until 1952 when #’s 3 and 4 arrived and #3 kept falling between the rails on switches. They regauged to proper 2’3” gauge after Talyllyn was rebuilt to have a pivoting trailing wheel in the 1960’s or 1970’s.

[@OliverSallis]

That is the most British solution to a problem that should not have existed I have ever heard.

[@MachRacer4]

@@OliverSallis it is however, the truth. When Talyllyn was given the trailing axle in 1865 the builders of Talyllyn; Fletcher, Jennings & Co, simply mounted Talyllyn’s trailing axle right to the frame with no way for it to pivot, so the whole railway ended up needing the track gauge being widened by 1/2” to allow for Talyllyn to negotiate curves and switches without derailing.

[@TrainMann]

Nobody got this right- It's actually 2'3 and a thumb!

[@MachRacer4]

@@TrainMannit was until the 1960’s. Talyllyn during it’s rebuild in the 60’s, the trailing truck was rebuilt to pivot and they regauged to 2’3” even for Sir Hayden’s sake.

[@MattyJ7316]

I liked this video straight at the intro! Lovin' it!

[@highball5550]

This is one of the funniest 3/4 episodes so far, not 10 minutes in and laughing my ass off. You had me when you threw the towel in and flat out said you’re drinking. Side note yesterday I went to the East Broad Top and it was incredible. I did a shop tour, saw the machinery run, rode the train, I even met Midland. That’s a 13 year old dream ticked off the to do list, hope it’s not another five years before my next operation steam engine.

[@Hyce777]

EBT is so freaking cool! Glad you got to experience it.

[@highball5550]

Additionally I love the unfiltered content, the amount of swearing is perfect. Kind of refreshing from the other content. Which episode of RO was it that you shot with kAN while drunk? I recall something about it being hysterical.

[@Lillstisse661]

Nice intro! Love to see it.

[@RIOthedog]

As someone who used to watch a lot of Top Gear back when it was on Irish Netflix that intro had me cracking up😂😂

I would love to join in on some of your antics. I got the "Little Joe" question correct even before Leighton finished. As someone who is interested in all things railroad related I think I would be able to hold my own, except for maybe some of the narrow gauge specific trivia.

Brett needs to amend his answer for Talyllyn and Corris being the only 2’3” Welsh narrow gauge railway. The Glyn Valley Tramway trust announced in Oct 2022 (and laid a section of track) they were going to gauge the new preservation line at 2’3” (compared to the original 2’4.5” gauge), which two of the GVT coaches eventually ended up at Talyllyn Railway

[@sambrown6426]

So today was my first day (Not including last summer) of me working at an auto shop, and one of the guys there gave me a freakin' WELDER as a gift. And the cool thing about this welder in particular is that instead of needing a big oxygen tank, it includes like 2 pounds of solid oxygen pellets, and you literally put one in this canister, then set it on fire, which releases the oxygen this welder needs. It's absolutely bizarre, but it's so cool at the same time.

[@OliverSallis]
