damn, i remember these videos when they came out lol hope in the future we can get some kind of drone rail videos back being in either railroader or even railroads online for that matter
My family is from the Pottsville- St. Clair area. I have 3 generations of Reading Railroad workers. My Grandmother was born in the 1930's and her parents live right near and along the tracks that lead to St. Clair railyard. She recently told me that her mother knew when to take the laundry off the drying rack and inside the house so that the close would not get dirty from the Steam engine smoke and she also rode Steam engines from Pottsville Station to Philadelphia. During the late 1950's or ealry 1960's Grandfather took my Dad to Gordon Mountain see a Reading Ramble go through the area, but unfortunately never arrived. My Grandfather during the 1950's was a Brakeman on Reading GP-30's and my Grandmother's father was in charge of a section of track that started at Minersville and went through Frackville during the 1930's. My mother's one uncle worked for the Reading, but we dont know what his job was.
Yes. The engine does have synchronized chuff, albeit not prototypical, since it chuffs twice per driver revolution instead of 4, although back when that engine was made, a lot of the Lionel engines chuffed 2 times per revolution. The sounds are the older Lionel railsounds card. Pretty sure it’s the old “Atlantic” sound set.
I too have this model but I finally, after years of ownership, had it upgraded to PS3 and it performs so much better. PS3 or Legacy are the ways to go now.
With modifications it actually runs pretty decently. See my other videos on the engine for more info. For the $89 I payed for mine, I’ve enjoyed it a lot, to the point where I bought a second one.
Some of the coaches are lego brand, from the old hogwarts set from the mid 2000's, one from the old red passenger set from lego, and a coach from the lego Emerald Knight set. The other two coaches were from a bootleg brick company called "Enlighten". If you are looking for nice passenger cars or even freight rolling stock, a german company called BlueBrixx makes nice rollingstock. You can find them on Bluebrixx.com
Oh mate, you don't know how much it takes back to when me and some friends attempted to make a minecraft operations server. got so many ideas fro then on that god knows how big they were for such a small group. heh.
holy shit just saw a bit of the video. god damn, you've literally made a very complex and Civilized system for the railway. That's very cool. i hope there are more people there helping. mr controller.
My channels profile pic is of the grand engine IAIS 6988. Sad that it is now in need of its 15 year mandatory rebuild and her last run was in June 2022 to Silvis, IL
The reason that Riley couldn't see the Long Low Trailer was because they that car didn't render for clients at the time, the update after you recorded this fixed that. I had fun in this Op session, hopefully I can join in on the next one.
yeah I recall. He spawned the cars in by accident while he was rendering, and as such the cars didn't render, so they were on host side, but missing for his client
That is a great question. I know without being in the world it can be a little hard to tell, but my suggestion is look at episode one, compare to the track layout in episode 11 and 12, then compare to the layout in the two recent episodes. In episode one, nothing north of harts creek was built. The line ended there. We also didn’t have the double track section from harts creek junction to heavy goods. The spawn yard has been completely revamped as well, and the north and south division yards are new.
There’s both narrow and standard gauge in the game. The way I setup my world, the line is mostly standard gauge, but there is a segment of narrow gauge that runs from timber falls down to Billy’s boards, serving as a logging railroad. There’s only one spawn area for spawning in rolling stock, so we use the in game flatbeds that have the narrow gauge rails on them to ship the narrow gauge stock from spawn up to the unloading area at timber falls. The narrow gauge engines and freight cars are spawned in and purchased at spawn, loaded onto the rail flats and shuttles up to the narrow gauge interchange yard and unloaded. It adds to the operations fun
