Happy to finally get to show everyone something the team is very proud to offer 😊

theres so much attention to detail within just this one small area of the game, im really excited to see whats to come.

43.2 trillion combinations.. W O W ! That’s DEFINITELY got to set a record

Factorials are pretty incredible.

Amazing to see everything! I love that you can actually see the steam shoot out of the stack with every "chuff" of the compressor, and that it's separate from the idle smoke from the fire! So many little details, I can't wait to see what is next!

The air pump puts a puff of steam out the stack!!! So damn cool

Between all the knowledge on the Dev team, and the community, I hope there's an in game encyclopedia! Excited to see whats coming!

@@barrel6468 hmm..... I guess they could just limit it to their top 5 or patrons each. Not exactly fun or ideal having to limit it to up tier patrons, but would definitely be a reason to pay for a chance to play with the masters of the game. Lol.

I never would have guessed it to be in the trillions. Good work y’all. Btw, how do the roundhouses work? will you have to select how many stalls you’d like? And how will building construction work? Last, Would it be possible for you to use a k-28 or class 125 for the next video? Hope that’s not too much to ask. Keep up the good work!

The customization is awesome, you can tell everyone working on this game is a trainfan/railroader by heart. Can’t wait for the game to be out

Imagine this with the “Superpower” ear of railroading. Maybe one day. Looking forward to this!

I hope y'all do get them different knuckle couplers in when they're good and ready, it's only gonna skyrocket the number of customizations until we're dealing with stuff that's gotta use the letter E in a calculator.

It just looks so freaking cool, getting super excited for when this releases

Hi, Mark. It's my first time to your channel. I must say you sound awfully like this fella from the Colorado railroad museum. That does a KZread channel under the name of Hyce. I think you and Hyce would make a great train show. (Don't worry your secret is safe with me. 😂) It through me off hearing Mark when I knew of your other channel. Keep up the great work bud. 😊

When you eventually add shays and or Willamettes I know I will fall in love with one locomotive and just drag it through dozens of modernizations way too late into the game lol

Love all the detail and options! Great work!

Good to see this game is coming along rather nicely. Keep up the good work Mark and team!

Every video I want this game more because this might have the most care put into than any other game I've seen. I'm not into trains. But what I have seen of this game and of Hyce's content makes not care that I don't care. The sheer amount of love for every bit of everything here makes it a joy to see. I'm not a train nut and Century of Steam is my single most anticipated game. Keep on doing what you are doing!

This game just gets better and better with every single video you guys post. I can not wait until this game is released. By the way, will these options cost extra in-game money on top of the original purchase of the locomotive? I would think that makes the most sense when it comes to implementation

*Sees Pt. 1* 346: There's more Me: *distorted voice* Dear God...

I REALLY like the idea of a higher status/level/number of achievements allowing for antlers with more points. I'm 100% all for that. Legitimately seems this is the only contender for "Top Dog Sim" for Railroader, which I am equally excited for next month.

Welcome to the beginning of the Baldwin Experience™

Nice to know that ‘Trainboi1’ is involved! His content for Trainz is excellent.

Thank you Dan and everyone at Studio 346 for your hard work and attention to detail. Here's to the future best train game on the market! 🍻

You guys are doing amazing work!

Totally insane and amazing amount of customization on this loco! Well done to all the guys who are creating this simulator. I am creating my own train simulator as a hobby project based on a 5 inch gauge model engineers railway and I know just how much work goes into making a simulator. The problem is when to decide that it is ready for publication. One could go on forever adding more and more detail. Can't wait to try this sim out one day!

Wait, did Mark just say 43,200,000,000,000 different combinations with JUST the locomotive and tender options? DAMN!

This is just mind-blowing! Also Dan is the man!

Dan’s the man. He’s one of my best sources for information on how to paint things.

You definitely should have an encyclopedia in game at some point.

Yall brought in one of the best trainz steam devs, off to a great start

I remember Daniel (Trainboi1) from Trainz, we both did stuff at Trainz Forge. I never did much modeling but I did some model reskinning that ended up there. Haven't had much time for simulators in a long time but have a blast watching y'all's videos!

Another Century of steam video... And love that customization of these locomotives. And also can you do another video of Different types of locomotives of this new game

Trainboi, awesome work, good to see your work outside of trainz

Wow this is truly insane that we’re getting tons of customizations for this game. Absolutely stunning 👏

that is a mindbogling amount of customization!

Will some of these combinations (like the plow or steps) cost extra when buying the locomotive?

@WasatchWind

8 ай бұрын

Yeah, it'd be nice if you could buy the plow and then permanently have a plow owned.

Wow that's looking amazing. yes to more and soon :)

I don't know if it would be possible but it would be really nice if the options for what was on the tender could remain separate from the main loco as mixing tenders and cabs could make for even more custom prototypes.

Hey Mark and Dan. Aren’t markers called classification lights if they’re on the front of a locomotive? I looked in a 1910 Pennsy rule book and they only call them markers if they’re red/green and facing away from the direction of travel. Not to nitpick, but since you guys are going so detailed I thought I’d question. Ya’ll are absolutely insane for the amount of research and level of detail you are putting into this game. I can’t wait. Dare I say this will be a revolutionary interpretive experience about railroads in this period as well as a fun game. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this so authentic - the passion is evident, and the tiny and authentic details are what already set this apart from anything else. I would love to see a video on the Baldwin paint styles, and if there are any non-Baldwin locos represented, how research went into their paint styles. Cheers from the east coast!

This is So Awsome! Can't wait to try even an early access

Were there going to be any additions for Bull Moose paddles? Would be great to see since I think there were photos of moose paddles on headlights?

This is gonna be a FANTASTIC game

I'm very excited for this to come out!!!! I'm most likely going to try to make a D&RG 340 as she looks now at Knott's Berry Farm

12:17 I did not expect a Dukes of Hazzard reference. That show will always be one of my favorites.

Love Daniel's work in Trainz! Well don, lads!

One thing I have wanted in a railroad game is to be able to custom order locomotives from the manufacturer. Because that's what railroads did. For example, as soon as the tech is available in a game, I will order my new locomotives with brick arches, and have my existing locomotives refitted when I can afford to.

Great job guys. A couple of questions: I guess some things like changing the brakes and fuel actually changes the gameplay, but does changing stack make any difference other than cosmetic? Does different headlights perform better in the dark? Do the snifters chnge how you have to operate?

Great video! Can't wait for release. Be safe, until next time...

30 seconds in, and I'm already excited.

Excellent work. I want to see the various iterations on your model based on what’s to be found in the Great Baldwin Paint Book.

I love hearing from Daniel! what a stud!

I’m so happy that the people making a train game are learning about game design instead of learning about trains

I would love to have the ability to do stupid but easy to implement things, like having both styles of marker light mounts at the same time, or mix and matching your air tanks and your airbrake pump between two different styles. Also, replacing the tender entirely with a completely different style, because I know that's a thing that happened to at least some engines, though I don't know if it happened to these specific engines. Also, the ability to have fictional accessory combinations, like using a stack style with a locomotive where no real life example had that stack, would be a lot of fun.

Looking awesome

For the 6,12, and 14-point deer antlers, you could get them by running over the deer with said locomotive

Really cannot wait to see the K's when they're done. I hope you guys decide to show off the "bumblebee" paint scheme when it's ready

This is awesome! I’ve always wanted a game where I can play as the engineer who designs the locomotive. Like Automation, Sproket or Flyout, but for trains. I understand this isn’t that, but it’s probably the closest to it. Maybe that would make for a cool future project for your game development company

Super excited for this!! Any plans for Articulated/Compound steam locomotives? Camelbacks? Geared locomotives (Shay/Climax/Heisler)? Cab Forwards? Turbines?

I can’t wait for this game

I want to know if these are all available from the beginning or if you have to purchase/unlock over time. I'm excited to see more loco paints and customizations.

Just drool inducing😂. Had to watch it twice, the first time I was just so distracted by the sound and the interplay of the exhaust and the breeze. It is so lifelike it is scary. Train swimming has come so far from Flying Scotsman in MSTS 20 years ago. I just hope I can eventually decide on loco mods before I run out of life 😂. So looking forward to this one...

The customization is seriously impressive here Cant wait to get the entire Grande stuck in the snow like the good ol days

Here in the State of Wisconsin we had a 3ft railway. Owned by the C&NW called the Dinky line which ran from Fennimore in the south west portion of the state.

Love the little history lessons threwout

We used 3'6" narrow gauge here in Newfoundland IIRC. I'm sure with that many combinations I could make one of our 2-8-0s (if I can find data on them). I might still have to mod the Newfoundland Railway logos into the game though, hahah.

God I want to play this so badly.

idk if this is a far fetched idea. but it would be cool if a couple of the locos were super customizable and were able to be turned into like a tank engine. like the 2-8-0 in the video turn it into a 0-8-0 tank engine with a deck on the back for some fuel or a coal bunker or oil tank on the fireman's side. :D Cant wait to see your track building and some of the physics at play in this game! like if the 0-4-0s are going to do the dance as they go down the track. or what kind of traction/braking system with the sand and weather you guys might implement. maybe in a few months it would be cool to see a train list of what might get added to the game. I loved watching the video for the old RRO tech tree video just for listening to all the stories and opinions about each one. Super excited for the games progress! Good Job Studio 346!!! :D

Lokks like this will be an incredible game...but only ONE of these 2-8-0's made it to preservation?! I can't wait to get my hands on this game with the "eastern" map...I ALWAYS wanted to try and build the projected Western Division of the Peach Bottom Railway that would have supposedly connected Philidelphia and Pittsburg across the southern section of Pennsylvania and tying the East Broad Top into a national narrow gauge trunk system...that would have ALSO included the D.&R.G. and D.,S.P. &P...

HOLY SHIT that's a REALLY healthy amount of customization already!

Rewatching this vid and seeing all the DSP&P equipment on just a single locomotive makes me hopeful that eventually when the game's more feature-complete we'll see more DSP&P locos and rolling stock, obviously the game needs to be in a more complete state for that to happen, of course, though the variety with just one locomotive shown here is immensely exciting to watch.

Probably going to buy this game, and Probably I mean 90%+ percent chance of a purchase, you all did a great job

When will this release? Because the moment this games released I will literally drop TSW immediately and spend every hour of the day i can to create the greatest narrow steam gauge railroad this game can handle. The variation depth is absolutely insane. Cannot wait. And this is Hyce isn’t it?

Not known at the moment, Mark has said they just have to much to develop before it is anywhere near releasable yet. I’d bet at least a year and a half to two years before anything close to release (and even then, that is pretty fast for what I would expect). That is just my hunch though. Yes, Mark is Hyce’s actual name.

Can’t wait to see what modders do with this after the eventual release

When you talk about the diesels you guys showed int eh trailer? The ones from the White Pass and Yukon.

.........You do not know what you have unleashed. If I get my hands on this game, AND I WILL, I will customize EVERYThING about EVERY ENGINE IN ThE GAME....Even if I have two of the same engine they will look nothing alike...you have awoken a sleeping, customization freak, MONSTER.....I'm gonna love this so much.

When is coming out? I what to know! it looks so much fun!

I am SO looking forward to seeing this game be released. A far way off, I know, but nonetheless looking forward to.

this is going to be the sexyist steam loco sim to ever grace our eyes, i can't wait to see what this game becomes. massive thanks to all members at studio 346 and to Mark / Hyce, your all super stars thank you.

8:40 regarding brakes, will we have cars that are stuck at a specific standard, so for example a vacuum brake car that straight up doesn't work along with a sane brake equipped loco?

Nice that there's _$reallyLargeNumber_ customization options, but could we see more gameplay focused devlogs?

They've said (I don't remember where) that a lot of the actual gameplay mechanics aren't implemented yet. This is consistent with what we saw in the NNGC demo: you could run trains in circles, but there wasn't actually any *game* to it. My guess is it'll be a while before the core gameplay loop is ready to show off for a public audience.

I don't remember which lumber company did it but there's a picture floating around with the hines lumber company pilot with I ridiculous looking Tower knuckle couple on it. the bar on it from the roll bar to the pin is literally the length of the protruding link and pin you see on what you got. I think there's even one where the coupler looks like the release is installed upside down cause they put a lever pivot point in the middle of the beam.

So are some common things tjat may not be prototypical on that but still common among railroads have options? Looking at that list i didnt see a boiler tube pilot (RGS 20). Liking that swither style pilot though and loving just how many combinations will be available. Honestly excited

Now we need to go over paint schemes!!!!

On some engines, will you be able to modify and/or extend the smoke box for better drafting?

... Okay, it was just so _jarring_ to hear "What's up guys, this is _Mark"_ in that familiar voice that knows you as _Hyce!_ Like, "woah! What the heck?!"

"Hello everyone I am Daniel" Everyone: "..." "I'm known in the Trainz community as Trainboi1" Like half the audience: _sits forward_

9:21 yeah this is way goofier than the Nesmith stack- "cannot convert it to standard gauge" *F*CK* I'm going to need to write down a list of the mods i might put on

Are you going to add the option to have tank locomotives? I would really love to run a porter 040t as they are cute, dinky engines.

@@emm4rmstrongI’ll have to take a look at those sometime.

Snowplow? Oh, please please _please_ tell me you're going to have those big honking rotaries. The snowplow to rule them all!

Question for the team: is there a plan to implement the Miller Hook coupler?

That snowplow looks impressive. But it has me wondering. How will the weather work? will the maps that have snow have it as a permanent feature or will it go away for most of the year? Im hoping weather wont be just random like RRO Instead changing in patterns for less blizards and fog and better game play.

I am curious, will their be any progression with couplers? Starting with link and pin and then later getting knuckle couplers could be fun.

Include a 'randomize' button.

This is an incredible video and i wouldn't be surprised if there are a trillion combinations glad everything is coming along smoothly 🙂, trainboy1 crazy? Alright then mr Daniel i challenge you too a crazy off 😄🚂

I'm more excited to get this game than when RRO was first released.
