Better yet get the biggest locomotives tender in the game and hook it up to the Porter

the locomotives where the headlights don't open require you to open the generator. It's a dynamo mounted on the top of the boiler that creates electricity for the headlights. I honestly thought that was a feature only found on locomotives build after 1900, but after doing some research I found out they were actually invented in the mid-late 1800s, i think is was the 1870's

Consolidation doesn't have brakes at all, as the IRL DRGW consolidations only had train brakes, no loco brakes, and this game doesn't have train brakes, only loco brakes. Also, the generator is for the dynamo which runs the headlights on the non-oil lighted locomotives.

Having used the Heisler now for over a week, I really wanted to comment on your video. The Heisler can use up to 50 to 60% regulator as well as 100% reverse and operate just fine. Anything past that on the regulator and it slips wildly like the Climax did during its segment. It can be a bit tricky to get out the power you need, but it'll rock up with a heavy train like it's nothing. I for one recommend it, even in its currently 'broken' state

The tender bug for eureka was fixed a little while back. The Cooke Moguls are getting remodeled soon with new textures as well(ie- DSP&P and UPD&G variants). And lastly The hand valves on the locomotives are the manual way to turn on the Dynamo and Compressor for loco brakes and headlights.

@drg-desperado4636

2 жыл бұрын

Edit

9:01 I love the level of detail with those valve gear eccentrics.

The difference in the headlight options on the cooke (and also in some others) is that the more expensive headlights have plates that hold the engine number, the standard headlight does not (its helpful for people that give 3 digit numbers to their locomotives) Also the red or green lanterns on the sides come from ships navigational lights. Ships have red lights on their left side (port) and green on their right sides (starboard), they are used at night when the ships is moving so other vessels know which direction they are going; on locos they can be used to signal if the train is moving normally or tender first (put red lights on the left side and green on the right side, left and right, foward beeing the direction the train is moving)

Only fault with the Porters should be ridiculously low top speed with those tiny drivers. They would have really high TE.

The Hitbox for the F to get in a train is usually pretty low placed so if you are inside in the cabin you have to look down to get in works most of the time

funny thing about the DRG Class 70's. they had a tractive effort of ~19,000lbs hence their reclassification as C-19 (Consoldiation wheel arrangement - 19,000lbs tractive effort)

Don't know if I missed it in the video, but there's a "hand valve" (iirc) in the cab that enables the brakes on the big locos, maybe that's why the brakes didn't work on the connie, but it's just a guess. I couldn't get them to work until my gf asked "what's that for?" when I accidentally moved the mouse over the valve, haha. I didn't see that it was highlighted. Man I love her :)

I love the H.K Porter 0-4-2T He looks so wonderful

I was hoping to see DL&G 191, 1880 Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation. They have the Cooke 2-6-0 Mogul which is so close, just needs another axle. They also have the D&RG Class 70, that's also relatively close. I think I'll unfortunately have to run the Class 70 with a Congdon.

You can slow the locomotive down by reversing the J bar and adding throttle

Sugar Pine logging railroad in California has a gear driven engine they take out for exhibition tourism runs. It is an offset, side piston gear engine. They let us get in the train shed and even get up on the engine.

They should add a Mallet locomotive, a 0-6-6-0 steam loco. That be the biggest loco.

This video makes me look forward to getting the Climax and the Hisler! I believe the lights on the geared locomotives work by running the dynamo. Also, i road in a Climax in real life and there a lot of fun!! The one i road in seamed to go faster than the one in the video, the enginer told me that climaxs have gear boxes that allow you to swap between low gear with high tractive effort or a nother gear that will make the engine go faster for longer runs where the max tractive effort is not needed as much. I wish the game designers could add that to the Climax!

Both headlights on the geared locomotives need the generator on to work

The lean thing is a bit tricky. R makes you lean left, and R again returns you to center. T makes you lean right, and pressing T again centers you. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Most trains have a three section wheel arrangement. An example is a 4-4-0, their are four leading wheels, four driving wheels, and zero trailing wheels. Geared locomotives like the Shays, Climaxes and Heisler’s have a different classification based on the number of trucks they have and/or cylinders they cave. Class A has 2 trucks and two cylinders, Class B have 2 trucks and 3 cylinders, Class C have 3 trucks and 3 cylinders, and Class D have 4 trucks and three cylinders and their are only class D shays. If only they added shays into Railroads Online. Climaxes and Heisler’s are similar in that they have their gear shaft the under side of them however, Climaxes have their cylinder power transferred through a gear box while the Heisler’s power is directed strait to the gear shaft because of the Heisler’s cylinders being in a V shape. Shays have the most unique arrangement. They have their Cylinders directly on their right side only and their Gear shaft is also on the right side so to counteract the weight of the cylinders, the Boiler of the Shay is slightly to the left of the locomotive. So while the Climax and Heisler locomotives have perfectly centered boilers and two cylinders on both sides, the Shays have their boiler to their left and their cylinders to the right. Also, Shays are the slowest of the Geared locomotives while Heisler’s are the fastest and Climaxes are the cheapest and have the shortest service life.

I did this with the parking break on a 74 pickup with a 454 and a load of gravel. By the time I got to the house, my brakes smoked for 15 minutes.

Baldwin Locomotive Works constructed over 75,000 locomotives from 1832 until it closed its door in 1956.

if the game mechanics is same as train simulator and such , you should be able to increase the speed of the locos with the reverser , as this is basically allows the loco to use full steam pressure if it is set at 100% forward or reverse , so having the reverser at 50% cut off would allow the loco to speed up and use less steam , like full size loco would , maybe give that ago in the game and see if your fuel, water and steam use will change ?? BTW i drive and own miniature steam locomotive soo it should work same as in game with how the miniature one works.

You have to use the generator for the electric lights on some of the locos.

The climax has light bulbs. It also has a generator to power said light bulbs. You might want to try that

About the connecting rods on the Heisler and not on the Climax: Both are geared locos, driven by a drive shaft from the pistons. The on the Climax, both axels on each truck are geared and driven, thus no side rods were necessary. On the Heisler, the drive shaft only connected to the inner axel. Thus the side-rods are necessary to drive the outer axel on the truck. The name for the "reverser" is interesting. Steam locomotives don't actually have a "reverser". It should be more properly called the 'cutoff', as it controlled at which point during the stroke steam was cut off from entering the piston. The regulator controlled how much steam got let in per cutoff stroke. Some steam engines controlled direction with the cutoff, others with more complex valve gear had a dedicated reverser mechanism to move backward (it changed the position of certain parts of the valve gear, so the initial stroke rotated the wheels in the other direction).

On the heisler and Shay locos the drivehift drove both axles through bevel gears by passing through the trucks. The climax used siderods.

If you turn on the generator it will make certain trains go faster

This is SO cool!!

One thing I hope we can unlock later on is knuckle couplers. Iirc, all the old pictures I saw the engines had that style of coupler. And the tracks were scary-looking.

hey just by the way.. Hearing the blow-off valve, you know the over-pressure relief valve, the only thing that's preventing a boiler explosion, yeah that's not normal you're not supposed to hear that.

You will run out of that water far sooner then wood, so there is no real reason to have so much wood with you in the first place.
