Welp sorry I posted this late, I was working on the very efficient thumbnail I swear! Anyway, check out the free Train Valley World demo now: tblink.co/RCETrain

[@claix]

sus

[@aDeathbomb]

Your late even writing this

[@RealAndySkibba]

No worries Matt!

[@qirex3093]

Yay!!!

[@endersdragon34]

Are we entirely sure that you are not Alan?

[@Dfarrey]

This gives me an idea: build a city in cities skylines that uses only trains for transportation.

[@Ludi_Chris]

I had the very same thought

[@DavidUsandivaras]

Like this so he sees

[@o_s-24]

Yessss. A train-only district on Engitwopia

[@RininGamingYT]

Please like this so matt sees it... Great idea

[@DavidUsandivaras]

why do you say it like that, yk i meant to like the idea of this dude so matt sees it right?@@RininGamingYT

[@masterzedric]

The town names seem to be connected to railway history. Motala is a town in Sweden which had a locomotive factory back in the day. Creusot in France has an Alstom factory and high speed rail lines. Birkenhead has the Mersey railway. 🤔

[@8OutOf10Crafts]

i was wondering why birkenhead made the cut 🤣

[@ant71989]

Well, it is home to the "Wirral Transport museum and heritage tramway"

[@bobbyggare8364]

I am swedish so I spotted Motala. one of my local railways had a lot of Motala trains.

[@Soken50]

Le Creusot is also home to a gigantic forge where they make nuclear reactor vessels, very cool place when they're not involved in corruption and fraud.

[@whiteclaww4423]

I'm actually from Le Creusot! Was really surprised to see the name show up!!

[@AdamHinckley]

the double ended train is called double fairlie, there are some at Ffestiniog railway, so if you want to see some in real life, that's the best place to see them

[@andyfinney8697]

Also, the Trench loco looks like a Baldwin, used in WW1 to take supplies to the front. There are a few in preservation on narrow gauge lines in the UK

[@TheDrunkBunnySociety]

I used to live in Birkenhead. nice to see my hometown in a game :) also Janus (rhymes with bum-hole) "In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of doors, gates, and transitions". often depicted as having two faces, hence the double ended locomotive.

[@nEiKKah]

You should ask the game dev to implement a feature that lets you build bridges if you send proof of an engineering degree.

[@phenomonox]

Do you think they would accept a resume that has an engineer somewhere in the title?

[@entropic-decay]

one thing I don't think I've seen IRL with train networks that I'd love to see more of is what I refer to as "diverter rails" - essentially, instead of the main line going right through a station, the station splits off from the main line and then re-merges on the other end, allowing trains that aren't going to a particular station to just go by without even going through the platform. Also allows stations to be worked on, renovated and so on without just closing that whole line. It's essentially just a single extra bit of redundancy that lets the entire system run smoother when spots undergo maintenance.

[@bobbys332]

After watching this I gave it a shot and got 1:08:12 which puts me 3:12 over the time limit and just shy of 3 stars. Managed the other goals but I lost time in not starting the copper pipe train as soon as possible (I wanted to complete the copper city mission first) and forcing it and the steel goal train to share a good bit of track and 1 station meaning a few times they had to wait for each other. A very fun little puzzle game that could use a few improvements such as being able to tell a train which station platforms it should use or which path to take to get to it's destination (since the shortest might be shared by a few trains while the longer is better for a "direct" line). Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

[@gaysarahk]

Any time you rate a bridge lower than 6, I have to compare it to the wooden one in Hydroneer that you gave a 5.9. I understand the reasoning behind the 5.9, but I have to think it was vastly overrated.

[@kerstinxerxesus5506]

Fax

[@lonewolf4215]

£2000 to travel such a short distance by train? Sounds like the devs have taken inspiration from the UK railways!

[@thenon-vapingsubie]

Im a simple man. I see RCE with a knob on the game he’s playing, i click. 👌🏼

[@ebreshea]

i'm a simple man too. I read the word "click" as "dick"

[@Nick-hi9gx]

I loved Matt saying "two and a half grand?" with a question at the end. He did the math correctly, he knew he did. He just also knew if he had gotten it wrong and it made it into a video (and his editors would "let that slip" I bet), we would all call him an architect, forever.

[@ilikesharks2020]

Matt trying his hardest to enunciate Cog for KZbin captions gave me a nice chuckle

[@se-os6xt]

Yeah. If you mispronounce it it sound like c🍆ck

[@Fives5275]

This is if Sid Meier's Railroads and Transport Fever had a baby

[@WolfkunDotInfo]

You should try railroad tycoon 3 if you like trains. Its a fairly old game at this point, but was implemented very well.

[@KesSharann]

Might as well go all the way back because each successive Railroad Tycoon game was a dumbed down version of the previous one.

[@Ulthuanelf]

Railroad Corporation is also basically this game but with more Stuff

[@TheKalmier]

3:09 "See this cog you weren't paying attention to? Ignore it for now..." ROFL

[@tannert5112]

This game is like OpenTTD had a baby with Civilization.

[@MichaelMoore99]

See, what gets me is Matt not upgrading his earlier trains to better ones.

[@Ineedanameplease]

Anyone else audibly groan when Matt destroyed that tree right before the bridge review? 😅😆

[@crazyhistorian]

Basically OpenTTD, but a little bit more modern 😃

[@itsamemario_yahoo]

i had openTTD on my laptop its fun (especially when you make it so that your starting lone is 90M XD

[@Pyrotrainthing]

The double ended engine is a Double Fairlie, they’re common notably on the Ffestiniog. The Double Fairlie design was 2 locomotives put together as obvious as it looks, bug it has 2 boilers and separate injectors, which meant the design wasn’t used much outside Wales. There were also locomotives that were single Fairlies, which was more successful because it wasn’t twice the engine to maintain. The oldest operating Fairlie today is a Mason Bogie named Torch Lake.

[@mcpenguin001]

At least Paddy's OK.

[@RealAndySkibba]

Finally! Was worried something happened to Matt!

[@WhoIsRyanFox]

You should really try OpenTTD. It's a lot more realistic: trains can't just magically spin around on the tracks, or drive over other trains on the same tracks. It's actually really satisfying to have active networks full of dozens of trains, where you have to worry about signalling, roundabouts, bypasses and removing bottlenecks.

[@tomroethke]

Calling the mine cart a mini train sent me 😂

[@TheEggYouAte]

I wonder what would happen if Matt played OpenTTD

[@chetmcgovern9985]

I like this, it's like Mashinky light. Very cool stuff

[@s_m_v]

0:10 "Cow shed"? Do you mean "Barn"? 😆

[@mariealba4158]

I really want to see more of this game!😃 it's so run to watch you do it!

[@themachine03]

You could engeneer much more advanced trains inf factorio for sure!

[@afalconnamedbob4805]

I have one major complaint about this game Birkenhead isn't anywhere near accurate. Not enough tire fires, dinosaurs or incest. I should know, I'm a scouser

[@Frank_Furter92]

I think you'll find the incest is contained mainly to Neston thank you very much

[@TheDrunkBunnySociety]

to be fair, we did put out the tire fires...

[@opiedoig9121]

Used to live next door to Birkenhead on the Wirral. Good little rock pub there 😂 gawd watch RCE, get memories

[@masterzedric]

And I live close to Motala. We were at a rock concert in the old locomotive factory there this summer. 😁🤘

[@masonaxenty4869]

12:33 a double ended engine is called a double fairlie. They’re pretty much unique to Great Britain.

[@wesleyackerman8211]

Looks very similar to Railgrade, I don't know if you've played that one before.

[@axiezimmah]

this game seems pretty fun, I love train games

[@badziaczek]

i need more of this

[@brandonrankin6825]

Would love to see this upon release.

[@ScP-049-01]

Hey RCE, about timeberborners The beavers don't get contaminated if they walk over infected ground, only if they go in badwater if a beaver is contaminated they can't work. Now to the badwater season: all the water sources will make badwater.

[@jameslloydatwil7905]

You mean badtide.

[@ScP-049-01]

@@jameslloydatwil7905 yeah sorry my English is not the best

[@rodepet]

It might be time to re-review your old bridge scores. I feel like this one was a lot more usefull then some that got a higher score in the past. And it looks stable and can hold a lot of weight.

[@Alsadius]

Decided to try the demo after watching this video. Got a 3* completion on my first try, though TBH that's mostly just because I saw how you did it, so I wasn't really going in cold. Also, got the mission completed at 1:04:58 out of 1:05:00. So that was fun.

[@angillas5699]

I appreciate that you have started using the word stonks

[@Shuizid]

That looks neat and cozy - tried the demo right away and failed the goal xD However two things I noticed: you can up-/downgrade trains when selecting them. Also there is no reason to keep "lucrative" lines going because of the limit of 10 trains it's better to repurpose them as you cannot do everything efficiently.

[@Som3_Rand0m_Guy]

hi RCE can you make a city with only trains as transportation??

[@Snowball_avation]

Huh this isn’t the normal time😮

[@AnemoneSilvermyst]

I love playing Bridge Review with my young son!

[@joaofilipesantos7410]

I already know matt's voice tone when a video is sponsered😂 I watch way too many of his videos

[@HenryOfGnarlia]

I need a railway round-about.

[@WinterBean.]

I love your videos mat!

[@volten1606]

This game remains me of transport tycoon. I miss the classics

[@Gemstone_Vodka]

24:30 did NOT appreciate the cashback😤

[@tufvatornqvist3481]

3:06 This is actually really funny because there's a Swedish town called Motala 😅

[@nielsvandenbranden7202]

Rochefort is a realy city in the french part of Belgium (:

[@Dinospearr]

now I can download the Demo :D

[@PhysicalEngineering]

I NEED MORE ENGINNERRSS BIGGAR BRIDGEEESS LET ME RIDE THAT HORSE (ARCHITECT) SIR!

[@andrewc2611]

You definitely got to play this again

[@biancaberg]

Loved this! Pls moreeeee

[@bobbyggare8364]

in Sweden we have a city called Motala.

[@creadmarster3]

I saw the notification for this video and thought “trains… sounds good”.

[@themig292003]

I see what you did there. Building the triple intersections in the other strongest shape.👍👌

[@Maxwell89216]

great vids as normal matt

[@nekochanmomo5484]

The bad water will flow from all water sources when a bad tide starts.... It does ruin everything. Have to redirect the water before it gets to your city when a bad tide starts

[@aydendejong451]

16:14 I honestly thought matt was just going to get his coal from the other side of the map.

[@proesterchen]

I liked this game when it was called "SId Meier's Railroads!", back in 2006.

[@davidpereira5969]

i played so much of that game as a kid, it was great. really wish there was a more modern game similar to that. I know of games like open ttd but those just feel like "transport logistics manager" and not "train logistics manager"

[@sirtanon1]

What you should do is figure out roughly how much that train with those 3 big hoppers full of sand would weigh in polygrams, and then make a custom level in polybridge 3 where you build the bridge that can support it

[@AkariEnderwolf]

pretty sure Creusot is pronounced as "Crew-so", but I could be wrong.

[@user-ep7gj9tq3i]

Flashbacks to Trains in timberborners

[@steveboswell]

1:40 Haha, "Janus"

[@officialnucky]

Oooooo this looks like Station to Station. Have you tried that one?

[@lordsrednuas]

Well, had to restart a few times, but managed to get all the bonus stars. That time limit is reasonably aggressive.

[@teaisloveable]

This reminds me of Sid Meier's Railroads!

[@NineEyeRon]

This video made my Monday

[@michielvankessel4972]

I was afraid there wouldn't be a video today😢

[@fruitfulconnoisseur]

I would have gotten the Janus with the speed boost on all of the train deliveries

[@TheEJackUK]

I could tell this was a sponsored video with the title. Do sponsorers do that overlay for youtubers? Or does RCE use a particular cutting tool for this? Just curious..

[@lemingtonstation9899]

Matt you live in wales and don’t know the ffestiniog railway where they have what’s called a Double Fairlie locomotive if you love trains which I think you do you need to visit it it’s amazing 🤩

[@tyelork]

This reminds me a vastly simplified version of Railway Empire (which is a great game I might add).

[@Jaguar_Avro]

Day 1 of asking RCE to play OpenTTD. I think he would love it.

[@Atlessa]

I abdolutely LOVED the original Train Valley. Really sad how much their other games differ from that first one in gameplay; TVW reminds me more of Railway Empire than of Train Valley.

[@NoobThatBuilds]

I think the double sided engine is called the double farly maybe

[@JamesGilmoreGilly]

Anybody else notice the thumbnail changed from tracks in the form of the strongest shape to just regular tracks? Such ashame, was a great thumbnail 😂

[@Tee-np1fc]

So, Love the channel! But what are your thoughts on the workers that have to work on what you have built? Just giving you a little jab lol.

[@ignus9928]

You should nickname the Janus as Hugh. Hugh Janus.

[@MNSweet]

Your first thumbnail was more efficient than this current one.

[@Thecatsgsmes]

RCE you need to make this a series like the; city skylines, and polybrige

[@Thecatsgsmes]

@realcivilengineergaming

[@jordanshilander7402]

I'm shocked that you didn't pronounce the Janus train as Jay-Nuss. Like the prank Hugh Janus.

[@JosefdeJoanelli]

This is very similar to Transport Fever

[@jonathanlonsdale3404]

Hay Matt, can you not build like a huge roundabout that goes around all the towns and then just have tracks branching of to where they need to go ?

[@Petidani0330]

So, this is basically Railway Empire, but with less thought given into it.

[@SWBF2-2005IsBestStfu]

Any chance of you trying out NIMBY Rails??? Would love to see you improve the rail network of the beautiful Birmingham

[@scottrussell360]

I can hear thoughts 😂

[@limezthereal]

We need timberborners

[@trains6824]

@Real Civil Engineer Hey RCE! love the vids :D I was wondering if you planned on making more Acres Videos??

[@BruhFatal]

always love htis

[@matthewmagadza3919]

I kinda want to to see RCE play pal world

[@magecu]

Transport tycoon light edition. :D

[@maximilianseibert7851]

I want to play with Patty too

[@8paolo96]

This game remembers me Sid Meyer Railroads I used to play when I was younger, loved that game and will probably give this game a go

[@Baer1990]

4:57 Wouldn't it be better to just get the 1500 worth of tiles first, and then take the shortest route again? For efficiency?

[@revengeofspoon1470]

This game is literally just transport tycoon 2 with a graphics update and only trains

[@chisu2754]

I live in one of the cities in the start :D
