[RO!] kAN makes the best sawmill layout I've seen yet!

In this episode, kAN makes a badass sawmill layout while I run several loads of logs and we talk plenty of trains along the way.

[@Pitstopcomponents]

@@Hyce777 I have a question, all my Locos are having the Porter sound… driving, whistle etc. i got a full map with tracks that i dont want to loose, but a Mosca sounding like the Porter sucks. Do you think its safe to reinstall the game? Will it keep the safefiles? Would be glad if you could give your opportunity Thanks for everyone helping me solve this shitty problem.

[@Railfan105.]

16:41 The fact that Smells like Kenosha is playing while you lose control of the train makes this even better.

It's almost as though I edit it in on purpose ;)

​@@Hyce777 if only it was in game and just happened like that lol. But as soon as I recognized it, I just knew something was going to happen. Although it was honestly better than I could have imagined from your POV (haven't seen kAN's video yet).

@@Hyce777 Fair enough.

[@Spanderson99]

I chuckled while Hyce finished loading the log train and checked every brake on the way back to the head end. Brakeman instincts kicking in😂

[@omegafalconoriginal]

That's a good thing. The one time you don't check.....

[@omegafalconoriginal]

@@BMMEC6000 that's why I'm laughing too. I've tried to move 14cars with 14 brakes on because I didn't check. Unlike me he check:)

[@BMMEC6000]

@@omegafalconoriginal one of my funniest “should’ve checked the brakes” moment was when I was playing with a buddy (I was in front of him heading uphill with a log train while he was following behind me with stake car train) where I stalled on the hill (I was in a Betsy so he hat was kinda expected) and told him that I would drop one of my cars and he (in a Eureka) would grab it on his way up the hill and shove it to the sawmill where I could couple back up to it. I decided that I’d pull the pin first and then set the brakes. So I pull it and “set the brakes” (in reality I hadn’t actually clicked on the brake wheel) and then hopped off expecting it to slow down and meet with my buddy later on. About a minute later I hear a “Oh my god!” And a frantic whistle echoing throughout the valley. You can probably guess what happened next.

[@maxwilson7001]

I agree

[@Ronald.Golleher]

See it's not only Hyce's knowledge from working steam, kAN has great questions to bring out the knowledge. Great duo, would be great to see some of the other guys getting involved later on also like mentioned before.

[@sudriansignalman9387]

If I may I believe I have a solution to the having two number 1 problems, either use Betsy as just a construction engine, or when you get another engine, put her on display by the Depot so you have the "old" No.1 and the "new" no.1. Then you can just number the next engine 2 and continue from there

[@EdyAlbertoMSGT3]

Alternative, make a whole new, separate sub railroad and slap Betsy on it (jk)

[@Yorie1234]

or just number every engine as number 1

[@Finat0]

I love all these ideas

[@amtrakp4242]

I did think about retiring your trains

[@ajaxengineco]

[@el_sheppe]

You know it's not gonna be a calm ride to the sawmill when Smells like Kenosha starts playing

[@Foxymorris9236]

16:50 Hyce, so you are saying that there is a unmanned train heading towards a unfinished track with no one onboard and full throttle. Kan, everything is fine just slap down the end of track buffers and hope for the best

[@P_litzer]

A tip for laying bridge splines for you and Kan is that they are placed best in one go. If you have any questions about the game ask them here.

[@tylermcgonagle5866]

I love how you synced up Smells like Kenosha with the barrel rolling engine

[@K10wNs-Shed]

Coincidence - I think not!

[@lordsrednuas]

I think it'd be interesting for industries to have optional inputs to increase their efficiency. Particularly cordwood (for the workers woodfires) and tools (what industry couldn't benefit from new tool deliveries). It could be a neat way to encourage more mixed loads and revisions to the track layout in the later game (trying to get tools everywhere after that industry is hooked up would give lots of room for optimisation).

[@Pystro]

I was thinking of a "The next car load of X that you deliver pays $Y extra" quest system to encourage mixed trains. But your comment made me realize that it would be better if it was a "Industry X needs commodity Y and will pay a $Z bonus (over the usual rate) for it." kind of requests. That would make it worthwhile to park a mixed train with one car of each commodity at every industry, assuming you have that telegraph teleportation system in place.Or if you always have lets say 10 requests going at all times, you could assemble a mixed train and make a trip through all industries with 2, 3 or more active requests.

[@drewbarker8504]

I like how around 15:00 when “Kenosha” started playing-and knowing full well your game was going to crash from kAN’s stream-was pretty fitting. Montezoooma took a walk, went cab over boiler, the Porter ran away, and pee went into cups. I’ll pour another drink to that. 🥃

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

I can totally see a Doubleheader with both Mosca & Class 70 Consolidations for hauling big hopper trains from the coal/Iron mine to the Smelter. that is some serious Quantum Habanero Kinky trackwork. Zooma Yeeting = pix or it didn't happen

[@Ronald.Golleher]

I mean, kAN does have his video up to see Monteyeeta

[@bustedsiderods8544]

Montebooma

[@JochenBoy]

The two of you running RO! together is a perfect example of the total being more than the sum of its parts.

[@richardjayroe8922]

They have a new choo choo, and adding a Mallet. The Mosca is highly recommend, just swap the tender with the 70's tender and it is fully perfect

[@thekathal]

You two should look into RROx (railroads online extended), it includes flying, fast sprint, teleporting, adjusting cash and xp levels, remotely controlling locos, and it procedurally maps the world as you play, including an adjustable minimap. It's really useful and I honestly can't play the game without it anymore.

[@railroadactive]

You have more patience than me Every time Kan would say any variation of "shunt", I'd want to yell out "Are we going for a spo' of tea mate?!"

[@VirtualRailfanProductions]

The fact that the train derails at the end of the song "Smells Like Kenosha" is just so perfect

[@SETO-HUTO]

thats the best intro ever lol

[@jacebeleren9290]

As someone who looks constantly at any conveniently placed rail yard in the state of Georgia, there's a metric butt ton of curved yards, especially when you get more towards Atlanta

[@ZaksMTS]

Wonderful placement of smells like Kenosha! How it crashed right at the end of the song. So great!!!!

[@firewolf2079]

Loving the content and your shenanigans. I've actually worked lightrail and the #1 thing they tell you is DO NOT couple on a curve. They couplers will swing away from eachother, hard. Don't ask how I know XD Also cordwood, great way to farm quick cash for early game.

[@BartonRocks]

What I've heard with Blue Peter is dat it broke all the rods because the driver tried to brake (after he tried the reverser with mentioned results). I believe it was the Dutchess of Hamilton who had the same thing happen but came out fine because they just waited it out. Dug some grooves but just could continue.

[@BNSFandSP]

Regarding unit trains vs manifests in-game, I have set up my network to take advantage of manifests wherever possible. I have two yards, one at the sawmill and one just east of the oil well, and I run a manifest between the two that easily exceeds 20 cars. I even mix logs and cordwood in the same train.

[@double4790]

That saw mill setup reminds me of the start of Walt Disney's the brave engineer

[@ChadmasterDante]

Watching you chase Betsy reminded me that(if you didn't already know) if you hit *crouch* WHILE you're running, you run like twice as fast 😂 you're like crouch-sprinting, and it's a big help if you really need to catch something

[@BigRigginRoger]

speaking of crossovers, i would love to see a 2-way Y switch and a 3-way W looking switch, i think it would definitely add more options to laying tracks

[@BentendoGameBoy]

I'm excited for the caboose Rollercoasters you can make with the new splines

[@yaboilemonboi5223]

I know this is 4 months old but I think a good idea for a turn around at the saw mill would to have a dual track at the saw mill and ahve switches on both ends to run around the train, but you could also sing with this have a turntable at one end to turn your engine round so it’s facing the right way

Wheelslip on a modern (sd40 and newer) engine breaking free does NOT take long to burn some nice groves in the rail. And if you slip bad enough suddenly some track needs a new piece placed in.

[@scotrailfan170]

Can't believe epic music was played when hyce was firing Betsy up just to maybe save montazooma hahaha

[@Electricfox]

9:38 sounds like the coal staiths we had in the UK pre-steam railways, like a pier out to the river and you dump the coal down onto the waiting barge.

[@1TruNub]

I just want to point out that hyce starts out with his first run and it smells like Kenosha starts playing

[@N00N01]

The way idd make the sawmill is a large bow tie southeastish of it, stubs for the loading 4 cars long, and a triangle pointing along besides the main and its NE heading onto the log unload , plus a runaround loop going behind the SM just connecting up to the main and yard-mainline Basicly a big collector yard with many stubs and a triangle

[@coyote16able]

I'd think a good way to get that Mixed train would be having all the industries need something from at least two other industries. Also I think weather dynamics would be interesting especially so people could replicate the RGS clown show in '38.

[@meow6939]

[@ytzpilot]

I don’t do reverse loops just do a back in empty and forward out on a full load, to be honest that is faster as it takes too much time to make the loop and more realistic because log camps were temporary infrastructure and the locations move when the trees are gone, therefore minimum money is spent on a line. If track laying had a cost this game would be very different

[@johncaglejr524]

[@3ftsteamrwy12]

wow! that IS the best sawmill trackplan I've seen yet. Cant wait to see the "mosca" the D&RG engine that never was...that the EBT got (IIRC it lasted till VERY late, going to at least one other RR before it was scrapped)

[@Two_Bears]

There is shunting space I found to the west of the lumber loading area at the sawmill but you will have to change your approach to the logging camp. Also, the flats area between the sawmill and the logging camp on your existing approach has room.

Just wanna say I’m from khans channel and love the engineering side of the channel

[@0megaming]

When you said, that his layout is pretty straightline, I remembered, that kAN named his first RO company "Straightline Rail Co." ^^ And with his friends, he means Kosmo and Dapper ^^ They´re gonna be good helpers in the game ^^ Also, i think you should let Kosmo build rails too, because Dapper is more a driver, than a builder (XD) and Kosmo is really creative, when it comes to making awesome tracklayouts ^^ (you could watch his videos, to get a picture of that)

[@davidcox2125]

Wish I could show you what I did. I have a loop around the mill and lake with turn-offs and turn-ons to the lumber, depot , and smelter (just added). You can also place a firewood camp on the other side of you car at the lumber/beams and load car the unload on other side for quick cash. Not saying I did for a start up fund. 😅
