The Duluth & Iron Range Railroad also had some 4-8-0’s.

Strasburg 475 was Baldwin built in 1906 for the N&W as part of the M1 class of engines. (M for “Mastadon”) They were nicknamed “Mollies” as a short for the “Mastadon” wheel arrangement and the M1 designation. It is also a deckless engine and has Walschearts valve gear.

Thanks for the extra info on these. I agree, these are satisfying to drive in TS. The couple things I didn't like were the cab camera views seem to clip the back of the cab (easily fixed though) and the key binding to open the windows is the same for loading/unloading. But despite these small issues, this pack is definitely worth buying.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Have you figured any other details like maybe flags/lamps for extra services perchance? Usually they add a little key guide iirc. I agree w the view, not only is it a bit back but its hard to see the track ahead as well - the angle could use a scooch to the right.

[@ozdazz]

@@schnauzahpowahz I'll drop a patch on your Discord once I get all locos done. Have tested one loco, moving the camera forwards, right and up. Also added two extra cab views (firebox and gauges), plus tweaked the head-out camera a bit.

[@ozdazz]

@@schnauzahpowahz I couldn't see any extra key assignments.

13:00 That's not a dynamo, it's the air pump. the dynamo is the whiney spinny generator usually mounted on the top of the boiler. It makes power for the lights on the engine. And on modern ones, i believe it makes power for the water pump too. The air pump is what makes that chuffing noise while the loco is stationary.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Did i say dynamo? 😆 Steam engines really bring out my stupid

[@PowerTrain611]

@@schnauzahpowahz They are complicated machines! Lots going on. You are forgiven!

[@Bamaji2]

I didn’t realize the Lackawanna had these. If your looking for more places to run these, try my steam workshop route Lackawanna Mainline. It’s the DL&W mainline going west from Hoboken NJ set in the 1930’s. In the next update the route will be over 30 miles long.

[@omaha2pt]

Sold! I'm heading to the website to buy it as I watch this video.

[@galia2843]

These steamers are simply fantastic! As soon as I got the mail that they're available to purchase I bought them instantly. You can't beat the price either - 10 bucks for this loco pack is such a steal, honestly! I can't wait for more North American steamers from these fellas! Little fun fact: Doubleheading works! You can clearly hear the chuffs being offset from each locomotive too which I really like, its a nice detail.

[@octane2099]

Good videos I like how you explained everything on them, hope to see more of this type of videos

[@Motherslug-q7l]

Really nice looking Locomotives these are good sounds of the panting. That Whistle is sweet sounding. I really want a Allegheny 2-6-6-6 N&W Steam Locomotive one of the most Powerfull Locomotives ever made.

[@galia2843]

There's a freeware C&O Allegheny on RailworksAmerica which is pretty good, in case you haven't heard of it!

[@Curious_Skeptic]

These look beautiful. Seems like the sounds aren't too bad. Always feel that is where these models lack. Very generic sounds. Audio is important too.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Agreed, this pack seems a bit better from memory of their last handful Sounds are huge, id happily use rolling stock from 2009 of it sounds like the real deal

[@GBRf66715_]

I’ve watched a few of your videos on their stuff, and it seems that they are taking sounds from other developers… that has the SSS 5MT/8F chuffs sounds aswell as the Cylinder Drain sounds - also noticed on the H9 that it has a few GWR sounds from Victory Works, especially the rod clanking

[@archstanton1137]

Thanks for your videos, always full of information!

[@timosha21]

I'm a train and I approve this video

[@shopdog831]

You should try taking this thing over the Stevens pass rout

[@stevessteam4538]

Absolutely stunning! I have to get one!

[@NW-gi1cp]

Beautiful

[@danielohearn7544]

Great video! What rolling stock pack are you using?

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Mixed bag of a lot of the stock from golden age of railroading website and an old GN stock pack off steam

[@danielohearn7544]

Thanks, man!

[@GenX-Gamore]

I have noticed this on several locomotives from TSW2 & 3 as well as Classic, and now this video, the wheels are not round, yet on many they are, as to not being round, is that so the wheels can produce that clunk sound as it pass over track transitions or just unable to make a r\ound wheel?

[@octane2099]

Can you make a video on how to get started on steam locos in the early 1900s like running logs, not sure what dlc to buy.

[@BackshopRailProductions]

I purchased this bundle from Machine Rail but I can't get the tender to attach to the locomotive. Could you tell me how to fix this issue?

[@brandonoconnor1079]

You would think the guys at DTG would want to produce locomotives like this! Most of their locomotives are not designed with the details Machine Rail locomotives have.

[@bryanosborne4282]

Which route are u using on the video??

[@TheShadowGuitarist16]

I bought this a couple days ago and it's giving me a "coupling error" between the locomotive and tender. Still waiting for a response from Machine rail about it.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Are you placing them down in the editor? I haven't tried a quickdrive or consist builder In the editor on occasion theyll swap around and you have to re set the tender

[@TheShadowGuitarist16]

@@schnauzahpowahz I tried doing the editor but everytime I do, TS crashes with an "Out of memory" error.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

@@TheShadowGuitarist16 i get that as well. Make certain you clear your cache and let the engine fully form (load in) when you place it down then same for the tender. It may be a specific rte causing the error, have you tried another rte?

[@vincentmarfe445]

Will this work with the Steam version of Train Sim 2022?

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Yeah

[@BMMEC6000]

Train simulator classic?

Those are purdy.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Shonuff 😁

[@katherinespezia4609]

I don't get how people are still leaving clicks in payware audio in 2021. I know it seems like a small thing but when it's a sound effect that plays a lot, like the bell, the constant clicking is incredibly annoying and makes a train so much less fun to drive. I know making good sounds is harder than it might seem but it can't possibly be THAT hard seeing as most competent developers don't have clicks in their audio. I expect these kind of sound issues from people like DTM but it's surprising to see an otherwise great developer like Machine Rail fail to fix something so basic.

[@schnauzahpowahz]

Valid point. While the sounds are good (great compared to the usual suspects) editing could use some work. Even the whistle has a bit of a chop at the end. Knowing that theyve corrected some things historically, hopefully theyll fix atleast the bell like they did w the 260 (i think it was the 260...)
