Hey everyone and welcome back to more Railroads Online! Today we are going to use the new train engine sheds in order to make a proper roundhouse area! Our old engine storage is outside and is really quite terrible so today we're going to re-engineer a new storage area for up to 8 engines!

Cold steel has basically the same friction as when it's warm. The winter-problems for railroads are frozen switches/points and large quantities of snow. Basically: water is bad, no matter if liquid or frozen.

Just FYI, that glitchy texture effect has a specific name. It's called Z-Fighting. Multiple 3D objects with textures on the same plane will attempt to display at the same time. Z-Buffer does not allow this so the buffer instead flips rapidly between the textures. If the render engine is setup properly it'll automatically offset one of the objects(so one texture is covering the other) by just a hair to stop the Z-fighting effect.

The Engines should be parked with their chimneys aligned with the ones on the shed as they help with draft when heating an engine from cold. Oh and it's true you blow the cylinder cocks when turning the engine off, but also after prolonged periods of inaction like at a station, as the cylinders might cool, water in cylinders are a really bad thing. water doesn't compress so if there's water in the cylinder when starting without blowing the cocks, a pocket of water might warp the pistons or crack the cylinders, and then you have a very big tea kettle instead of a train engine.

I wish we could have those longer building segments more

If you drive the trains FORWARD onto the turntable, you can immediately grab the turntable handle and run it around 180 degrees. This lets you then have the handle next to you next to the shed when lining them up. It just makes it a lot more convenient rather than trying to look around the train and guess when it's lined up.

Looking good. Now just put another line off the turntable out into the shunt yard and you can enter/exit in either direction!

What if a train got between two rails adjacent each other, as in like "H H" and the space between was equal to that of rails they ride on, would they theoretically be able to ride like that, or would that cause some sort of glitchy jumping? would be interesting to test I feel.

Seems like you really need a Y-split/switch for those sheds

I think a cool addition to the game would be a rotary snow plow that you have to use like once every 12 hours of gameplay or something to clear snow from the tracks

You could turn the oldturn table into a caboose storage yard or a retired retired engine area

Save the other Turntable for your Cabooses

I understand that when you have 2 engines pulling against each other the coupling goes yeeten't. However, what is you "double headed" 2 engines? Possibly a Heisler running in reverse (With the railcars coupled to the front of the Heisler) and a Mogul/Class 70 in the front. On flat ground, Hop in the front Mogul/Class 70 and you have quicker speed and when you need power, the Heisler is your friend. No idea how this will work as I only have an 0-4-0; an 0-4-2; and a Mogul. Ideas be springing.

I finally have a line to the Logging camp in my game. I called the railroad the "Pine Valley Railroad"

The water tower idea is both genius and realistic! The level of attention to realistic details in this game allows for the player to actually think from the perspective of an engineer that would have been alive and worked in the steam era of railway history.

What do you think about hooking the turntable into your second shunt yard? It's trivial to build a second entrance to them. Just hook the rail up next to the rail that you linked the table to.
