2012 NerdCubed logic: If releasing the accelerator doesn't work, set it to full throttle and apply a little bit of breaks

[@KasedaFromMinecraft]

I like how none of the train people know yet I'm not a train person and I noticed. The reason the train goes faster at 50-ish% is because the pressure is too low to go that fast. If you look at the PSI meter on the right, then it will go red if you go too high with the throttle, so until you build up more pressure, going fast isn't something you can do. So by using the blower and stuff you can build up more pressure in order to go faster.

[@KR15MES]

you can go fast you just have to move the reverser back abit and like what you said watch your pressure

[@mihaelalaber2084]

Aint correct

[@flyingbuzzard8868]

It’s also due to too much draft in the engine when you fully open the throttle

[@sandermur5613]

ahh, the nostalgia is real when you remember that nerdcubed's computer sounded like a vacuum cleaner.

[@AviationJeremy]

34:33 you're right: it is a pressure thing. 50% throttle gives you more torque (power) , while higher settings increase RPM (speed)

[@steamedlyons]

The reason the loco increases speed at 52% is because locomotives are delicate machines that need to be treated with care, also its like putting a car into a lower gear for more power, which means speed will be increased more effectively with a load. Or at least that's how I think it works, look at me! The worlds most clueless enthusiast! Sure I can tell the difference between an A1 and a A2 but yet I can't tell how different cutoffs work! :-D

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

Locomotives need to built power. If you release all power in ones most of the power will ebe lost in steam. But your story Sam is also correct. I know how to drive a steam locomotive. But there is one engine only the best can drive, And that is the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy.

[@vaska00762]

I'm a train person! At a lower power, you will have much more torque for the speed you're going at. Think of it like the gears in a car. You don't move off in first and immediately shift up to fifth gear, you need to accellerate.

No, they operate best at 290% boiler pressure. Then they explode.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

***** Okay.....I think you need to see a doctor....

[@Alex2Buzz]

TTAMTWASOOC It's a joke. In a real situation I would not recommend letting the boiler pressure go ANYWHERE NEAR 290%. The train would go fast, but it would go fast in multiple directions. At the same time.

[@The4449daylight]

i know it matters no more, but you ran our of pressure in the boiler so you were dumping steam and not getting any power, you put the throttle up to 25% then bring the reverse (center lever) to 60, then 50% throttle to 50 reverse and 75-100% throttle and reverse to 30-15 depending on whether you lose speed or gain speed. this is how you go faster. brake cylinder pressure is what the brakes are set to and the brake pipe is your pleasure you have on stand by. you have to wait for the brake cylinder to empty pressure before your train will move

[@RamsFan93]

Red one is throttle, blue is the gear (forward, reverse or neutral), the black one is the break

[@kare2much]

Excuse my nerdness, but: It is known as a gear in cars, but in trains, that is known as the reverser. Its not even a word, but that's what it's called.

[@giovanniguild8846]

When the throttle is fully open, you force more steam out into the pistons. When they're half open, more of the pressure (PSI) is put into the pistons, making the wheels spin faster.

[@gimpdoctor8362]

why is it so entertaining watching long videos of you trying to figure out buttons on an interface

[@magicman1398]

"How long is my train" I say that every time I wake up in the morning

[@vectorbrony3473]

The way it works is the reverser controls the amount of steam into the cylinders. closing the valves puts less steam into the cylinders but also makes the train run faster

[@raccoon.878]

This is my childhood

[@sarahhughes6946]

I think the speed stops going up so it allows it to cruise at the speed limit perfectly

[@Doctor772]

This shows how much dan loves little big planet he was playing it at the loading screen

[@jacobwoods8738]

You need to wind the cutoff (middle lever) back, that is why you can only run at 50% regulator! wind it back and put the brakes in "running", between 4 and 25 generally.

[@GuathixStarDust]

>hears hello procrastinators, crys irl.

[@Fishfingers232]

instead of lowering the regulator, lower the reverse to increase the speed, treat the reverser like the 'gears', except lower reverser setting is like higher gears.

[@Mhnd-qc4zo]

Best tutorial ever. You can be my driver every day. The minus in your score must be a bug, i recomment an update of the game.

[@mholm09]

The reverser controls the amount of time that the valves are open. Once you get to a certain speed you don't want the gear to stay open as long or it will slow you down. It's much more complicated though.

[@Iamsigma79]

His rant on courage the cowardly dog will forever be in my life

[@nothisispatrick6180]

Ive watched this video 100 times over its great

[@aswmkid3]

with the steam engine you lower the revercer. it increases the cylinder pressure, which in turn increases the force, and increases the speed. the regulator does basically the same thing but its not what real conductors would do.

[@yilibobchris]

that's sort of it. the reverser adjusts cut off which means instead of having a long stroke it has a short stroke and short stroke=faster choochoo

[@q13e5]

That lever you are calling speed is actually controlling the water supply used for speed. Its all about heat, water and steam.

[@dannydorito9815]

[@jamespercival6855]

who watched this after nerdcubed john and matt's crew series and got really excited at san bernardino

[@rusty_5196]

You should build pressure in the boiler(big tank in the front) and then the engine uses the steam created from the boiler to push pistons that drive the wheels

[@nebula_the_starfish]

Does 3 scenarios. Derails all *except one* . _I AM THE GOD OF TRAINS_

[@jeffreyblack666]

If the train was travelling at the speed of sound, the first thing you would hear is a loud bang, followed by you possibly getting knocked over.

[@raccoon.878]

I really did not know what was happening

[@ironhorsestudios5068]

That is the maximum economy rate for the locomotive. If the throttle were opened full, pressure would decrease, thus lowering the speed.

[@defaltgaming9353]

Dan with the flying train at half percent,think of it this way.If you turn your computer on,it ill lag a bit,and then get no-lag as it warms up.U have to push up the throttle SLOWLY

[@Lukeknott]

Full throttle from a standing stop with small wheels means wheelslip will occur. So starting off at half throttle will allow to you gain traction and then increase to full throttle to gain speed. Also using the reverser lever as a brake is not recommended when coupling up. Great review though.

[@UCvow2TUIH0d2Ax2vik9ILzg]

"I'm not someone who drives trains for 120 minutes", he says as he drives a bus in the desert for 8 hours with no stopping.

[@silence8550]

I facepalmed so hard. When driving on Cajon (ca-hone), put the throttle down to zero, apply the dynamic brake, and then start applying the throttle.

[@abbyrichardson2829]

It is hilarious when he went to full throttle and you just see the lever next him going mental

[@T-Waldo]

you have to build up your psi. when your psi is built up then you can go faster otherwise your just losing pressure. you psi meter will be green when your in a good throttle percentage for your current psi.

[@Whosafain]

"I'm the type of guy that doesn't play a train simulator for an hour and a half" but you are the guy that plays a bus simulator for 8 hours

[@mattwhelan13]

By the way the coal train that you saw in the first operating session was in fact a small train but not uncommon in the United States. I typically see coal drags carrying more than 70+ hoppers with just coal. Typically over a mile long with two or more locomotives depending on where it is and over 70,000 tons. Try driving that train.
