MAKING HUGE CASH with MILITARY trains in Derail Valley! | DV Career Ep. 17

[@zeibach9075]

re: damper making the expert shovel useless, this is not at all the case. It is much more efficient in terms of coal consumption to have the firebox 20% full, with the damper wide open, rather than a firebox that is 100% full with the damper at 20%. The latter consumes something like 4x as much coal for the same amount of heat generation. Choking down a fire by restricting its air supply results in incomplete combustion and the production of carbon monoxide, which produces much less heat for the same amount of fuel as full combustion does. And of course, plumes of black smoke as incompletely burned fuel leaves the stack.

[@zeibach9075]

You don’t *have* to. It’s really more of an expert’s technique. Using 4x more coal sounds bad, but 4x of almost nothing is still not really worth worrying about. As you know your range is generally much more limited by water than coal, so saving that last few shovels worth of coal is maybe not that important.

[@KR4FTW3RK]

This advice really helped me save a lot of coal. Thanks zeibach! With simulator bringing water towers to all the stations, saving coal gives me the range to do multiple missions back to back without driving somewhere to get coal.

To Hyce, ES&D CDO Fees and fines cost before being paid off at the end of your shift was 55,516.30 dollars. We appreciated you paying your fees in full. Thank you for paying off your fees and fines. Derail Valley Debt Collector, John Doe

10:08 You probably didn't notice, but when the lantern fell of the turret, it knocked the blowdown valve ever so slightly open.

[@elaineturnipseed198]

And don’t forget the Kenosha😂

[@legdig]

You know I have an operating theory that running with a full box is less economical than running with a box half full because of the restricted airflow, i've been able to max out the fire temp gauge before. I fire my s060 pretty much the same way as that LMS training video haha. watching out for the colour of the smoke and all that jazz. Good episode! :D

[@Hyce777]

I'd bet you're right!

[@musclecat1005]

Little and often, little and often

[@Sweetw4ter]

I tried to do that but i only get to 1200°C when i shovel the maximum amount of coal into the firebox. Since the smoke stays lightly gray it is still efficient tho.

[@jsjinc.8949]

Liking the new tunes

[@Spanderson99]

Another lovely episode. You’re in the endgame now, get to know the harbour-military base run well! It’s not exactly a gravy train, but the money is well worth it. The DE6 is pretty nice, you can hear the main relay go “clonk” when you take the first notch, which makes me smile every time. I’ve been having too much fun with the steam engines to run it very often. Once you get 2 or 3 MU’ed though, you can pull the whole yard! I use a dead de2 with the electrics cut in as a “robot” car so i can run the whole consist with a remote.

[@Brotherdot]

Did anyone mention how ridiculously great music you have in the outro? Worth sticking around for, love it! 😄

[@bluescrew3124]

Yes I second that……

[@WhitzWolf92]

You didn't ask and might already know, but in case you or anyone else reading doesn't, the title is "End of the Line".

"End of the Line." Is for his game, Century of Steam. It was released on YT under the CoS channel.

[@adamrosenhamer3762]

Some of your lanterns are turned down. They have a little wheel to make them brighter

[@rahulgupta43701]

Yea just scroll the mouse wheel.

[@mobeus5019]

This game could really use a headlamp.

[@F4productions4072]

Yeah basically, it’s to dark so they need it

[@psycotria]

Perhaps they could simulate night adjusted vision, coming and going as light exposure changes. The blackness could lessen as eyes adjust to the dark.

[@AuraKnightTheLucario]

started trying to build a tendered steam engine in stormworks. still working out the kinks... like lighting itself on fire and air frying the engineer, but hey it moves!

[@WhitzWolf92]

Just working out some minor bugs. You won't notice a thing! (Of course charcoal isn't exactly known for being observant).

[@jondorthebrinkinator]

Lanterns and flashlights disappear fast if you leave them on the ground. Annoyingly fast if you're trying to switch at night. Be nice if the devs added a spot on the switches where a lantern would stay put. Also, fun fact, you can light the firebox with a lit lantern rather than the lighter.

[@jankington216]

The devs should make regular lanterns hook up to couplers, and EOT lanterns should show up on the map

[@jankington216]

And maybe some kind of magnetism to the lantern shelves in the locomotive cab

[@KanjiasDev]

In the DH4 my lantern (I tend to use them as not as bright cab light) always gets out of the cab through the wall somehow 😂

[@WyWorks]

It wasn't until after the video I read the title correctly. I was waiting for the "huge cRash" with military trains, when in fact Mark was only making massive bank rather than fireballs lol

[@TheSteamdriver]

Considering this was Hyce it wouldn't have been surprising if he had crashed

[@thomasn3071]

In this episode of Derail Valley, Hyce drives cab forward

[@kepstin]

honestly, with all the tunnels he went through on this run, it probably wasn't a bad idea. less coal dust and exhaust in the lungs ;)

[@ravenheartFF]

I frequently do gravity runs down this alignment from the junction @ iron mine east all the way to the harbor. I have a single DE2 wth the train just to give better brake control, and a DE6 to push out of the military base. I leave the train balanced across the grade transition before returning the DE6 to the base and shutting it down. Then, I head back to the DE2, start it up and give just enough of a pull to get it started downhill, and let it roll. Managed properly, one can roll from there all the way into the B yard at around 45 kph. The savings on maintenance give a decent bonus despite not making the time bonus.

[@Railman1225]

29:45 And that's why I like to ride the tail end of any cut of cars I kick to realign a switch! _So that I can properly tell when it's passed the points_

[@aceproductions43]

You know using the S060 for your first military job is actually quite fitting considering it is based off of a variant of the USATC S100 class which were used for wartime shunting in Europe in North Africa during the Second World War.

[@CyarSkirata]

Hyce talking about kAN has just gotten me thinking now: I already hope Derail Valley gets multiplayer someday because I'd love to run trains together with people, but now I also want it in order to see Hyce and kAN play it together.

[@andrewproof1775]

Just gotta mention, love that you used the USA 0-6-0 for the military stuff. It's just a perfect fit because those 0-6-0s serviced in WW2 in a few spots.

[@LordGadwin]

[@survivor1014]

Put your lantern on the floor directly under the handbrake in the S060, that is the best place I found for sight glass visibility. Not perfect but it makes it noticeably easier to see.

[@seymoarsalvage]

I like how you were really dialing in the injector towards the end.

[@longbow192]

I don't know if you've ever talked about it, but there's been a question on my mind for a while now: if I understand sight glasses correctly, they always have boiler pressure (and temperature) in them. How safe is that for the engineers, in case of accidental damage? I guess it's built robustly enough to withstand the normal operating temperature and maximum pressure of a boiler, and if it does get damaged from the boiler itself, you've got bigger issues than a broken sight glass anyway.

[@kepstin]

I think he's mentioned this in one of his museum videos before, or maybe a railroads online video with Kan? The sight glass itself is in a double-wall safety container, so if the glass tube breaks there's an outer wall to catch the flying glass and hot water. If the tube breaks, there's a valve to disconnect the sight glass from the boiler - this allows it to be replaced while the boiler is pressurized, too (it was apparently common to carry spare glass tubes).

[@sitharc]

[@C-M-E]

Just because I can't leave well enough alone, whoever set up that train job Greatly underestimated the real tonnage of the tank set. Cargo alone would be around 1200 US tons, not including the weight of the cars. (That's even scarier if its in metric tons!) I get some things are fudged because train game, but other things go Deep into hardcore sim. You'd think it'd be closer on the other bits. Meh, things I think about while watching someone else play a train game. 😁

[@Drif19]

Congrats on 90k hyce! Road to 100k!!

[@realteimopielinen]

I cannot get enough of these videos!

[@QuorkQTar]

Around 8:10 "come on, the buffers are that strong?" oh yes they are. You couldn't actually couple like you do on DV. You need to push the buffers in with full force (bit less for cargo, you want more play there) and while applying the force apply the brakes with a very substantial set before slowly cutting the force out. Otherwise you'll just bounce back. Remember that virtually everything you have to mind about train handling is completely obsolete with chain and buffer - you really do need strong springs to achieve that.

[@Hyce777]

That does make sense! Wow.

[@TheMostUt]

Whern moving that slow (14:40 or so), shouldn't the chuffs be two chuffs close-ish together, and then a slightly longer gap? I think I've got a tiny PTSD, every time you check the water glass, I expect it to be empty, followed promptly by a big boom lol. So....how much pressure do the cyl coks bleed out of the cylinders when open (assuming no liquid water is present)?

[@Hyce777]

The chuffs should be perfectly even. The cocks do bleed pressure, but they're a pretty small hole (Maybe 1/2" diameter) so less than you'd think.
