[SFM] Trouble At The Steel Mill

The RED Iron Works is the proud owner of a trio of industrial steam locomotives, making them one of the few operators to still use the iron horses of old. But a sudden New-Mexican heatwave might show up Mann Co.'s fancy new technology, in turn giving the industrials a day of fun in the sun!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn't get the video uploaded on the 18th (18-3-2024). The challenge this time was to make a substantial animation in 10 days - and if not for the delay, 10 days was just about feasible!

[@nielsleenknegt5839]

Scot. This is amazing. Talking about your animation AND your voice acting!

“American-compliant GWR pannier tank doesn’t exist, it cannot hurt you.” American-compliant GWR pannier tank:

[@asteroidrules]

It reminds me of the trench engines, Americanized panniers built during the First World War. A couple ended up on industrial railroads on both sides of the pond afterwards.

[@MrTramMan]

I just noticed and, OH THATS GOOD

[@The_NW_EngineYT]

The British Steamers feel so out of place, and yet I could still see this happening.

[@AppalachianRailfan99]

There was a tourist railroad in Oklahoma I think, and they had a 0-6-0 tank engine from a steel works from Britain and 3 BR coaches. They had it modified to meet USA railroad standards

[@VestedUTuber]

Panniers with lights and bells are something I never knew I wanted, but now I do. If any one UK-built locomotive from that era ended up being exported to the US, it'd probably be one of them, as a private-use switcher for an industry not quite big enough to need a Baldwin saddle tank but big enough to justify a switcher of some sort. Unfortunately it never actually happened, but there were so many panniers built that the odds were in their favor.

[@asteroidrules]

Interestingly enough the Pannier design did end up crossing the pond during World War 1, Baldwin, Alco, and Davenport made Americanized narrow gauge panniers originally for military use that were later converted to industrial applications. It's a funky looking hybrid engine, a pannier tank with pony trucks, outside cylinders, sometimes bells, and top mounted lights.

[@tophatgaming1873]

@@asteroidrules what's the name for those?

[@asteroidrules]

@@tophatgaming1873 Class 10 trench locomotives. Bachmann makes a pretty nice model of them.

[@tophatgaming1873]

@@asteroidrules wait a second that's the basis for stanley, if you've ever read the railway series

[@asteroidrules]

@@tophatgaming1873 Yup, his origin was historically accurate too. After the war many of the trench engines in Britain ended up working narrow gauge slate mine railways, the ones in France continued their military service through World War 2, and a handful that stayed in the US were used in farms and road construction.

[@TheLostGamerMan]

Panniers in red > panniers in green

[@jlee.Creote]

Great animation! With these Pannier tanks in this story setting is realistic, as these were sold off for further use in other industries and companies after their service life in BR.

[@brendanhanley2741]

Never ask a woman about her age Never ask a man about his salary Never ask about how red iron got these British locomotives in America

[@Victor-056]

Easiest answer: Zephirith Mann brought them over to the US, and kept a fleet of them that his Twin sons inherited. Remember, his sons were rich enough to waste money to move an Alamo to the top of a desert mesa just to have a private talk... And Zephirith was WAY Richer than his sons were, both in fortune, and in wits. Not too far fetched to believe Zephirith brought over some British Locomotives because he liked having them.

[@I_aint_active_no_more]

Tf2 and trains, a winning combination!

[@asteroidrules]

Panniers look pretty good in red. It's interesting how TF2's artstyle helps make the different eras and nations of rolling stock work together without looking out of place.

[@reimufan205]

and that is why steam is better than diesel

[@davidmcgillveray146]

I fully agree with you.

[@68poundercarronade]

Not really though because most of them had less tractive effort compared to diesel locos with the same size. Also maintenance would be kind of a problem too. But i get your point. They're beautiful and pretty satisfying to watch them chug along the tracks

[@h5skb4ru41]

Steam is Just not profitable maintenance wise, only 2-4 steamers can be more powerful than diesels and that's pretty much it

[@1_railfan]

That was a great video! I'm quite impressed with how you got the panniers to have knuckle couplings, & I saw some rolling stock that haven't been seen on SFM before: mainly the gondola wagons and the hopper wagons. How you imported them, I'll never know. But I applaud you once again sir!

[@FlyingScott]

The Gondola and covered hopper are assets from TF2Maps. Much like with your own made assets, they are compatible with SFM's \models and \materials maps: tf2maps.net/downloads/gondola-prop.14046/ tf2maps.net/downloads/covered-hopper-car.7134/

I want to tell you something Scott you forgot to add an American steam whistle

[@autoiko4300]

As a lifelong Thomas and Friends fan, I couldn’t help but notice the T&F vibes from all the locomotives and rolling stock. Those Class 37 and Class 08 diesel-electric trains bring back memories when I watched the 1980s era T&F episodes. As a full grown adult with some technical knowledge, however, I’m a little surprised those diesel engines couldn’t start in the heat - diesel engines usually function better in warmer temperatures. Diesel fuel has a higher flash point than petrol; the cold makes it difficult for diesel to ignite. Nonetheless, this goes to show the simplicity and robustness steam locomotives, especially the ability to operate in any weather, even though they are much higher maintenance and more dangerous - it requires skill to maintain a balance between water and heat to create the perfect amount of steam safely and consistently.

[@AW.Dry_and_Co.]

A pretty good video! Although the title in my opinion, dosnt really make sence

[@Nyinxie]

So these guys use american coaches, British steam locomotives, an American Santa Fe, A Class 37 using BR.2 coaches... how...? oh and a Class 08 Shunter that aparently can't cold start. And then now I see a fucking A1 Peppercorn...? Also steam locomotives wouldn't pull a consist in reverse during standard operations due to the lack of proper viewing ports in the cab, only doing so when things are dire and with a break van/control wagon at the back for controlling the locomotive from there. as well as the fact that if Red Baron is a dedicated push-pull locomotive, it is missing the rear lamp needed to say "hey, this is the back of the consist"

[@Nyinxie]

Other than these inconsistencies... I LOVE this! nice to see something special and unique made in SFM

[@FlyingScott]

You seem to have misidentified the Santa Fe type (which is a 2-10-2 type, not the 4-8-0 as seen in the video) and the Peppercorn A1 (the one in the video is a Gresley A3). Furthermore I must admit I don't know where you got the idea from that steam locos don't haul trains backwards. Here is just a few images where both big and small steam locos are doing just that: www.flickr.com/photos/david_christie/9310357069 www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/lnwrchg2807.htm www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/photographs/item/1998-43564 photos.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/LNER-and-BRE-and-BRNE/LNER-post-grouping-locomotives/LNER-tank-locomotives/i-Vthcb7Q/1/hQM7Z8dHL5k2rkhb6n99ggmrM9skDtQbNFx9Dq6k/M/E_BR_68912-M.jpg
