and I quote "what the hell am I supposed to do with the prompt, wooferdunk!?"

I love how everyone is introduced by their full names and then Jimmy is just "Jimmy from the Cog", like that's literally his full legal name

"What's a wooferdunk?" Well, there's nothing in the rulebook that says a dog CAN'T play basketball...

I had to do a double take on that picture of the CB&Q engine, it's located in a park in La Crosse WI that has a train show I've been going to with my dad for 30+ years. They set up air to the whistle and let kids go to town on it for a buck. Took both my kids with last year and they had a blast pulling the rope and climbing around the tender.

I'm speechless... This was so awesome! I'm flabbergasted... The railroads really produces characters like Hyce in every shape and sizes! That was over 15 minutes that just disappeared and I'm sitting here like: "It's over? But I wanted more!"

Whats surprising with this episode is not a SINGLE lime was launched... But yet it still had me rollin' 😝

Hearing Brett's voice while holding a machete being told he sounds like a homicidal Bob Ross had me dying laughing, I now see where the emoji in the discord of Brett holding a machete with a maniacal smile and fire in the background comes from.

I've never heard WD Austerity 2-10-0s called 'Wooferdunks' before, the 2-8-0 versions were called 'Dub-dees' though. Well you learn something new every day.

The fact there is no mystery citrus in the video is astounding. I love every one of these episodes. What a fantastic idea to put this together. Great work guys!

Well, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a wreck train that uses support from trees to not fall off a cliff😂

Damn it! I wanted the crane story to be true!

3:15 He’s talking about Aeolus (it actually survives today, and is one of the few to be officially named).

Just love everytime someone swears, (minus the video about the ES&D railroad) it's just a random whistle lol.

Holy Crap Hyce i never would have guessed Id see something from my hometown in one of your videos. When I was little I would blow the whistle on her every year during railfest. I never knew her nickname just its engine number 4000. This made my day. Cheers!

I figured out Layton's tell. He looks to the left when he lies.

There were old anime, called Outlaw Star, and that Leighton's version of Alice the Goon really look like steampunk version of really wacky spaceships from it. Like, melee fighting spaceships level of wackiness. Really good anime, BTW.

Hyce and a British engine for the thumbnail? Odd, but this should be good. Love the 3/4 idiots, keep em coming Mark. (also here before carl)

"Were all the same amount of broken" has the same ring as "Were all professional idiots here" by a driver on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in the UK.

Every time I hear "Jimmy From the Cog," my mind immediately replays it as "I'm still, I'm still Jimmy from the Cog," to the tune of "Jenny from the block." I Know some of y'all would get cursed by that, and I can't suffer alone. so you're welcome.

So you're the "Amarican Railroad Technical Difficulties" now? Does Tom Scott know about this? XD

Brett so calmly in joking manner: do you fear death? XD

So glad for the return of the mining establishment

Hilarious onomatopoeia, not enough limes. 7/10. But seriously, that one was definitely hilarious. If I hadn't known Aeolus existed I probably would've guessed Leighton myself. Side note, you might recall the Zephyr trains were named for the Greek god of the west wind, Zephyrus, partly because it started with the last word of the alphabet and would thus stand out more. Aeolus, as I recall, was the chief Greek god of all the winds, so naming a steam locomotive that (and on the opposite side of the alphabet) makes thematic sense.

A, Carl did a good job, it alerted me to this video before youtube, and B, may I just say the giant wall of text at the end is glorious

lovely to see this normaly watching you with Kan in railroads online.

HEY HYCE :D thanks for your work :D

I'm a recent Hyce fan because of the Kan and Hyce podcast masquerading as a video game, so I've not watched one of these before. It makes so much sense that Hyce is the Tom Scott of trains! Time to binge the entire last season of 3/4 of an idiot lol

That was an impressive level of BS by the liars, especially improvising on those topics. Loved it, can't wait for the next installment! Thank you! :) PS. Brett and the grease machete are nightmare fuel even more than those weird Fairlies (spelling?) from the last livestream.

Learned something new but happy about the mining consortiums

Aeolus Wooferdunk, owner of the Mining Consortium

The ladies love it when I whip out my Wooferdunk.

An hilarious start to the week! 😂 Fabulous and as always a fun learning experience! Thanks Mark and crew!

Man, Carl had is coffee this morning!

Thanks for the laughs and trivia.

I love how wooferdunk is pronounced just like the opening of rock of ages

As soon as I heard wooferdunk and british locomotive I though "OH! war department"

Someday I’m waiting for ES&D “toilet bowl” hats. I’d wear company merch. 😆

I remember hearing about the 'Wooferdunk' nickname ages ago. Besides the noise of the locomotive, it also came from the Austerity 2-10-0s and 2-8-0s' WD classification (WD being short for War Department). Funny thing is, in New Zealand we had a type of 2-6-4T from Baldwin that was also designated as 'WD' class. And is it just me or does Jimmy From-the-Cog look like Gary Brannan from the Technical Difficulties?

This is literally my most favorite thing that ya'll do cause it is just so damn funny!

I thought “Wooferdunk” is the sound of British plank wagons make when fly shunted to a coal tipper in which their buffers (or bumpers for US audiences) make that noise before having their coal tipped backwards.

@13:12, excuse me while I pause the video and search “Plot’l dance”

4:00 anti ohio sentiment is approved

Fun video , informative as well thumbs up keep them coming g

Four train nerds having fun in a consensual circle j**k..... Totally funny.

Mark's facial expressions starting from 4:39 XD I love this show

Wooferdunks. When my 2 Bass cabinets roll out of the trailer and onto the road. Woofer. Dunk. I did once slam a black widow and the magnet shared off. We use to be rough. Thank you 4 🐑🔊🔊🔊🔊

as a british rail enthusiast, ive never heard of the WD's as "wooferdunk"

My friend's 21st birthday, we had to cut him off when he said that "Train" was an onomatopoeia . TTTTRRRRAAAAAAIIIINNNNNNNNN

​ @Hyce Have you guys ever thought about live-streaming one of these? Audience participation is both fun & profitable. tl;dr = Shut up and take our money! 🤣🤣🤣

I had to pause and catch my breath at "Homicidal Bob Ross". Still gasping.

Sir Jimmy OF the Cog, "Maximum adhesion!!!!"

love these

Hey Hyce you wouldn't Have Happened to Be operating a Train Near Palestine Ohio Recently Have You?! For real though I live in Ohio and That Derailment is crazy! 50 Cars with a Massive Inferno... You should make a video

My sole complaint about these episodes is that they are too short!

Love these videos

Yes I missed this series

14:18 oh wait its actually over lol, after watching hyces other vids, you expect like 45 minuities long stuff. then they throw a 15 minute one at you

10:30 I'm suing for manslaughter. Y? cos I'm dead!🤣🤣🤣🤣

8:40 Aeolus, if I'm remembering properly, in greek mythology he was the "Keeper of the Winds" meaning he controlled the four winds that blew over the world.

Sitting here, watching this video while waiting for my class 48 in RO to fill with water.

5:07 *Choo Choo Charles enters chat*

We need to get flying scot on this

The camera angle variety and selection is very immersive!

I really badly want to see a video of y'all hanging out with the technical difficulties lads. Would be my dream crossover episode.

then just starts changing almosa

As a Bavarian, the wooferdunk thing is very funny to me

The Pinkertons are in Blackwater looking for Author and Dutch's gang in Red Dead Redemption!

I mean, in Norway steam locomotives go: Tøff tøff!

Lol extra of Brent singing Das Deuche Band in German accent please

Damn, these things are so hilarious those 15 mike is gone i a second and I can't wait til the next video 🐻💪🏻

Boy, you should probably start calling this game "Whistle sneezes" because it does that a LOT during this game.

1:30 looks like he's all "geared" up.

CARL DANG IT

40 years ago, my teacher laughed at me when I told him that reading those Popeye comics he complained about would eventually help me answer a train trivia question. Well, who's laughing now, Mr. Pritt.

The wooferdunks look a lot like BR-52’s. I’ve heard somebody say that the 9f looks like a BR-52 but I think I have found the true British kreigslokomotive.

this one is funny like all the other ones

Gordon from the Severn valley railway is one of these

on the crane talk the whole anchor off of trees thing isnt unheard of, infact operators of the old spit boom holmes wreckers did it quite often in areas where they dont have space for the outriggers like on narrow bridges or in slip prone conditions or where they just needed counterweight in general. basically theyd have one boom rotated one way anchored to something solid and the other boom would be swung off the other side of the truck recovering whatever wrecked thing needed recovering. that ability is why some operators still consider them to be superior to modern rotators in a way despite having lower weight ratings.

It's the 3/4 of an idiot show! Brought to you in part by Slacks and The Men's Warehouse. "You're going to like the way you look!"

Still need some ES&D decals in all the scales in the store.

1:01. I laughed soo hard wen he said baaa Funnyest 3/4 idiot episode ever

I think the wooferdunk is a 5000 class steamlocomotive

Yes, it's finally back

WOOFERDUNK = It's what they call the Air-Bud series in Deutschland!

Would it be possible to bake bread or cake in a steam engine? and what would it taste like?

Aeolus is an old Greek mythological name. It surprised me because I’d actually heard it before, in completely unrelated contexts.

Wooferdunk Wooferdunk Wooferdunk Wooferdunk My Stupidity aside, It's always interesting to hear the onomatopoeias from other countries,

Ooh, I guessed well this round, it was Brett!

almosa 491 you can hear it in your new short

seems like the wooferdunk had a lot of dohickies and whatzamahoozits on it

The thumbnail is a war department 2-10-0 from England

i always find it funny that when english speakers try to make something sound German they automatically make it sound Dutch. Leighton being the case here.

Rip leighton

I require that a lime be thrown at me

Woah it’s Jimmy the Cog

For the next 3/4 of an idiot show can use use the story about the uss barb? During WW2 in Japan, the uss barb put a scuttling charge (a dense explosive) on the rails with a pressure plate. The train went in the air about 100 feet and landed on its side and rolled in the ocean.

little dumb fact, but most of the Great Western of Britain's tender engines legit go "wooferdunk wooferdunk" even when they're fresh out the shop, please send those engines help

yes, vooferdunk

A boy named $oo

Wooferdunk, a party foul when a rowdy patron kicks your sound system into the pool. . . . . Or the bass boosting speakers used by Hyce for when he plays RO and DUNKs his trains. Alice the Goon, some say on the darkest of nights when you're all alone on the rails. When you go and check your load, you'll find an extra car not on the manifest. All who have gone in to investigate return with their spirits broken and their minds shattered. They say that Alice the Goon haunts the rails as an freight car undelivered and long forgotten. . . . . Except for the fact that there's so many instances of that through out history that it's impossible to tell which one it actually is, but forget about that. Spooopy out-of-season ghost story..... Or, the infamous brakeman who was also a kind of "enforcer" who rode aboard the Big Boys. Somebody got out of line, Alice the Goon chucked them off the train and threw their baggage out after them. Seeing how this is post video, I can't be lying at all.. . . . . . Hyce, could there be a 1/4 of an idiot episode where you have kAN, kosmo, and Dapper on? Do something simpler like Citation needed while building an RO empire. Could be fun AND a potential 1/4 idiot could be in there.
