What should we do next in Railroads Online?

Day 3 of telling Kan he should time a run to the sawmill and back (like you did when testing the snowplow) that way you can do the same run when they increase the speed limits, and compare. That way your viewers can get a better sense of how things are affected by the speed change

Duck is missing out. His American cousin is looking dapper with those antlers.

The locomotive sold in the US was ordered for the newly built Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in 1872, and was named "Mountaineer". It was the only Double Fairlie to operate on an American narrow gauge railway. This was a smaller locomotive with four-wheel bogies, giving it a 0-4-4-0T configuration.The railroad's experience with the locomotive was typical, and an indication of the fact that, though Fairlie had eliminated several problems of the conventional locomotive, he had introduced new ones of his own. At least one double Fairlie 0-6-6-0T Janus was built by the Mason Machine Works in Taunton, Massachusetts.

We need the Thunder Mountain Bypass at the top of the switchback. Basically an extreme gravity railroad with a dedicated re-railing section at the bottom.

I'm totally here for the colorful engine Kan loves and hyce hates lol

since hyce works with high pressure steam you should tell him how much pressure freezing water creates because it is an insane amount

I'm with you Kan, that is a beautiful engine! Should get a mod to replace the whistle with a quack 🤣

Kan:it’s so pretty Hyce:why just why

Now Duck's a true great western engine

That steam engine looks like Stanley from the railway series

As an Australian the Ruby Basin is so cursed. It's a 2-8-0 version of a 2-6-2 Victorian Railways NA class (no. 1 and 2 of course built by Baldwin). Both the Two tone green and two tone red liveries are ones used by the Puffing Billy railway on the remaining locomotives. I love it but still, so cursed

You could also call the two Shay engines Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Of what i have found out by playing RO myself, if you put the brakes at 100% so they lock, you get less braking force than you do if you use 98% where the wheels don't lock up

19:16 kAN struggling for an entire minute to get back on the train while Hyce just talks…

If you getting another 2-8-0 engine, can you name it after a certain red fruit/vegetable? Would be fun to see you run around in the 2-8-0 "Tomarto".

single fairlies look like regular tank engines, but the drivers are on bogies, and are popularly known as mason bogies. the double fairlie is the one that are double ended. some double fairlies have 2 seperate boilers. edit: probably the most famous fairlie is in the ffestiniog railway's little wonder

When I saw the update and first saw the green on an other channel showcase, I knew Kan needed to get that color and I knew hyce would want a different color

I love this series, also can confirm you left the brake on last video

You went full meme with number 34, love it. LMAO

About the double fairlie locomotive discussion: you and hyce are both right since both versions existed. Though, the single shared firebox version wasn't as successful because the draft between the two halves was uneven and was inefficient in comparison.

I got a Ruby, and it's the best engine in my fleet (granted i only have 2 engines, the ruby and betsy) and I have to only use 30 reg to make sure this thing doesn't fly off the rails going UPHILL. best engine ever.

Since you came up with this crazy idea of one train running on different gauges, I thought I'd let you know about the real thing: There are actually trains that can drive on more than one gauge. The most prominent example of this is in Spain, where there is a historical broad gauge ("Iberian Gauge") of 1668mm for most conventional lines, but a standard gauge for the high speed network (so it would better connect to the French system). So in some areas, instead of rebuilding the old broad gauge lines to standard gauge, they simply built a special high speed train that could change gauge. The best part about it is that they could do it ON THE MOVE, driving through a special gauge changing facility at a slow speed. This technology was also employed in Switzerland, since they have a lot of narrow gauge lines. Although I think they had some technical issues with that recently and it's only in one spot. So the only place that I'm aware of that has trains which change gauge on a large scale is Spain!

Imagine this: you’re chilling with the boys in a caboose peaceful day, looking out the window at the scenery and then all of a sudden you see a boiler shoot by

You should name this new locomotive The Emerald Cup. Rubies are red but emeralds are green. And cup because. . . a basin is like a caldron for water, but you guys deal in cups of. . . well, _other_ liquids.

Them old fangled bluetooth links really are something.

How about having a small section of track with a 3-4% grade at the end of the yard lead at the coal mine, that could help change directions during switching and when you leave the engine to roll back down after using it to push it might end up a bit closer to the main yard so it's not as far to walk

Right, I just did some light research, apparently the early Fairlies had a single boiler, but the later ones had two

Duck from Thomas and Friends is a pannier tank engine.

Hey Kan and Hyce, I just heard about in switerland they are trying to make solar railways. Personally like the roadways I don't think its a good idea due too warping of different climates, salt and plows (for roads), warping of the track along with the dust and dirt etc. But I would love to hear you guys talk about it.

The engine is so wonderful I like it very much

What if kan naming the loco duck is a hint to possibility the GWR pannier being added, probably not but would be cool

Duck is actually a pannier tank which were used exclusively in Britain

I was watching some videos about some huge steam engines (stationary boiler that are like three stories tall and the like),. What they all had were some kind of method of setting the pistons so they will spin the fly wheel. One engine used a pony motor, and another had a wheel with sockets in it you would fit a pry bar to turn the wheel. That yould position the piston to not be at top dead center, I would assume. With a steam train, because you have two cylenders and are 90 degrees out of phase of each other, you don't need to stage the piston?

I just realized that men in the 1800's running trains told stories probably like this

Kan was definitely recording this episode with a wasp in his hand. You know what they say... "Beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder."

you should ask hyce about the Canadian Bayside Railway

If you wanna fill up the firewood depots i recomend using cordwood cars. 4 cars fills up a depot.

BTW the 3 way switch does not auto switch, and one side goes off at a different angle than the other.

That looks almost the same as a 2-6-2 Victorian Railways NA class, even the livery is the same as the pre-1903. Today several are preserved on the Puffing Billy Railway. They were made by Baldwin the same as this loco which is why they're simular.

You guys should watch Animagraffs: "How a Diesel-Electric Locomotive Works" its a great video and explains the parts really well

29:35 let out the longest and loudest f bomb in history

I run this loco backwards as well. It just makes sense.

You need to run the shay on the switchback that would be appropriate

Talking about boiler explosions. C&O 1642 has enter the chat. A 1.2 million pound 2-6-6-6 that blew its self to pieces, in Prince WV. Blew the boiler into the new river.

The Sierra railways #3(engine in back to the future) has much stranger wheel spacing

Who thought a pannier tank look like an American tank engine

That engine reminds me of a longer version luke from Thomas and friends

Yeah, Duck is called a Pannier

Wait. Isn’t the next number on the Fibonacci sequence 21?

Nice

just for the record kans brake was at 0% when going up the 6% but it looks like hyce has before the moment they came to a stop shoving in the wrong direction

This locomotive reminds me of a giant davenport

Hey Kan yall could get another engine like duck, put em cab to cab and it would be a 2-8-0+0-8-2

Hey Kan little birdie here went back to your video you definitely didn't leave the brake on it was down to 0% the only time you did leave it on was when you went to get the class 48 and you where about to go "micro manage" it but then Hyce said he is already busy doing it so no you didn't it was definitely off

You need to use the pin from the locomotive, due to the hit box of the cow catcher, you use the pin from the engine, not the car

How about purchasing the class 70 and do a race like this. Tweetzy hauls coal down the switchback and Hyce takes the 70 (his baby) down the 10% grade and let's see which is faster or who is an better engineer!

ayyy he said thomas and friends!

My knowledge on the Double Fairlie Engine (which comes from the very reliable sources of 3 websites online, 2 of which are Wikis), it looks like you're both wrong. Hyce is right in that there's only one, double ended Boiler with 2 smoke boxes, but there was also only one firebox between the two.

Question for HYCE, in your opinion which locomotive would be considered the Big Boy of the narrow gauge?

Think we could get a Rail Studio picture of the railroad so far?

You're going to need the EBT hoppers to load the coaling towers, they are bottom dump hoppers.

That train in the beginning would also have had been my favorite if it could actually connect to wagon. Without there being so much free space between them.. But i guess it might be because the train for pulling some special wagon

Question for Hyce, how do switches work on dual gauge tracks?

British double fairly have one boiler going threw the cab

you should try to get the class 70 and have a tug or war to see witch is stronger

So steam engines usually have a steam dome om top of the boiler, an extension sticking out of the top of the boiler to allow the steam pickup to stay as far away from the splashing water as possible. Where does the steam dome go on a saddle tank engine? Also been driving the ten.... something lately. It has air brakes but the compressor consists of a valve and a brake lever... steam brakes?

Make a 10% down the switch back and run down it

you should lean to whistle like a train with your hands!!!😀

Weeee weeeee choo choo

I have a question for Hice. When he was working for BNSF did he ever see any MRL power units? If so does he have any stories about them?

I love shay locomotives regardless of how ugly they are the ones in Cassinic railroad is beautiful

I didn't see any brakes on while pulling the hill on last episode.

Have you seen the last smokestack option on the Tenmile?

Railroad Tour?

Maybe I'm biased based on where I live, but Tweetsie has the better whistle

Hey Kan, recently I went on a steam train ride, and I noticed that the engineer, the fireman, the conductor, and the rest of the crew were all talking to each other using sign language. I got to ask them if any were deaf or hard-of-hearing, they replied that they weren't but one of the earlier engineers was hard-of-hearing. So, my question is were people working with steam train using ASL or hand signals to talk to each other?

I think railroad online should add the k 37

This is why I prefer to watch other people’s videos your in. Your video is 37m Hyce’s video is 1h13m so much more fun per video!

The double Fairlie's are on the Ffestiniog not the Talyllyn

u know the trolly problem right, can u ask Hyce if instead of picking a single direction can't u just switch it back and forward really fast and it will derail the train so no one gets hurt ps sorry for the bad grammar I can't spell certain words. So I tried to replace the words that I don't know how to spell, with words i do know how to spell

The water tank is connect.

👍

If you put the link into the Duck you get a super long link

so I've learned that there's a 2-12-0 "centipede" type (oh, nevermind, there are also 0-12-0, 2-12-2, 2-12-4, 4-12-2, even a 4-14-4, and a 2-12-6 was proposed but never built)... that's a lot of -damage- wheels on a loco. O_O

Did the porters dynamics change?

When did you and hyce switch over to derail valley

Hyce probably got blinded by the engine lol

If the shay is the hump engine please name it Humphrey

Finally, I've been featured in a video! lol

The Talyllyn never had an articulated locomtive, let alone a fairlie...

Why u post so early at 5 u normally post at 1am or something

Tl;dr of the vid: Some completely accidental & confusing pee's in cups.

Hyce, not the Talyllyn, the Ffestiniog.

you guys should name the hump shay the unpaid humper

How the flop did you stack the names like that

23:50 to shays or tue shey

It's luke

Duck is a G.W.R great western railway paner tank tank engine none faceless steam engine

BASIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
