Bringing COAL Supplies to the COAL Mine with our COAL Powered Train in the COAL Update! 

Any chance you'll name the Ruby Bason "Duck" because it looks like Duck from Thomas and Friends?

There is a 97% chance that Hyce builds a run of track to a distant valley near the edge of the map and YEETS the lime green tank engine into Narnia. He then calmly rides back as he deletes the track behind him. Lol 😂

Fun fact about gustav, so much friction was created in the barrel when each shell was fired that it would damage the barrel. No two shells were alike and each one was numbered to ensure proper firing. The second she’ll would be slightly larger than the first. The third slightly larger than the second. So on so forth. The barrel was only good for 20 shots before it needed to be replaced. And I think after ten shots it needed to be re-bored.

Kan needs to buy the cursed lime green Ruby Basin with antler headlights and obnoxios smokestack. That way they have a engine that makes people remember the Central Rio & Pacific for all time.

16:08 Hyce: I promise to not derail. Proceeds to bin it almost immediately.

YT: how often do you want to use Coal in the Title? kAN: YESSSSS

Wouldn't it be a nice idea if you both have your own rail-company in the same world? Like 2 different carriers that have own engines and cars, but use the same track. Maybe both have an own engine shed. But sort of competing for money. Then you would at some point have trains consisting of different number cars

kAN, I have something for you to consider. Your cars, as has been discussed early in the series, are all facing whatever way they want. If you get them all into the hump-yard after one episode, you would be able to then use a save editor to change their alignment such that all of the brakes point in a single direction. (Of course, you could re-rail them one by one, but a save editor could be a lot less tedious. Then, see how long it takes Hyce to notice, since you so often work as the brakeman.

Here in Germany, there were some passengers who bought a pizza and let it deliver to their train. But they tought the train would be late and the would have enough time. But instead the ICE was on schedule that day and they blocked a door to get their pizza delivered. They delayed the whole train for a pizza. I believe they got arrested and had to pay a fine. Greetings from Germany. Edit: The schwerer Gustav had 80cm projectiles

Day2 of asking kan for a first person only run

They accuallly used the Schwerer Gustav for the siege of sevastopol (Town in Crimea) It had its own Railalignment to aim the Cannon. Because as Kan said it cant shoot Sideways from its mount because of recoil. Some other Fun statistics about it include: - Firing range: : 47,000 metres (51,000 yd) (HE); 38,000 metres (42,000 yd) (AP) -Height: 11.6 metres (38 ft 1 in) -Time to Assemble on Location 56 Hours - They built two of these Fuckers -5.620 People of Crew. - and yeah of course the Gun was made by Krupp in Essen and the Barrel is a completely seamless Steel Barrel with Calliber of 80 cm (31,4961 inches for hyce) and a calliber lenght of L40,6.

There were several versions of railway guns, invented during WW I and further developed during WW II. Even though Germany had the most famous railway guns, most of them had France. They even developed them on in the time between the both wars and it is said they had the best ones and the biggest number of them at the beginning of WW II. Originally designed for the static warfare in WW I their role was in WW II a different one. It was more a siege weapon. Laying siege on a territory from a distance between 100km - 200km. Most of them were the normal guns only suited for one track and the track was also used to dampen the recoil as the whole train glided back on the track. Hyce was right when he said that they couldn't tun their gun. They could only fire into the direction of the tracks. To aim a special curve was build to aim. another way was the cannon riding on two carts and those two carts were standing on two different tracks which were crossing each other in a 90° angle. The gun you mentioned that was mounted on two tracks existed in two versions only and was far to big to operate. In Russia it was mounted at the place where it was used as it would have been impossible to get it there a different way. It was on special build tracks just build for the purpose firing this cannon. The missing static warfare in WW II was rendering these kind of cannons near to useless. Even though in Africa there was a relative successful use of one of these guns to bombard supply of the British troops. The Brits hunted it for a long time, as they never could find it. Now you ask how would someone hide a train with a gun, where the train with gun and ammunition is several meters long and has a weight of about 120 tons? Planes are for sure faster than trains and all the British planes could find were empty tracks. So were went the train as they hadn't have a cloaking device. The planes needed some time to react start and get to the position from where train should have been fired. As the Germans always fired just 2-3 rounds, they used the rest of the time to drive the train into a bunker removed the temporary switch and camouflaged the rest. As finding something from air with your bare eyes is very hard, they just never saw it. They found it out accidentally with a spy.

Spruce pine (Pinus glabra), also called cedar pine, Walter pine, or bottom white pine, is a medium-sized tree that grows in limited numbers in swamps, river valleys, on hummocks, and along river banks of the southern Coastal Plain. Its wood is brittle, close-grained, nondurable, and is of limited commercial importance

If you get a ruby basin in the lime green livery, you should call it "mistery citrus" ( if that is too long then maybe "citrus?" or type in "Mistery Citrus" to have it on two lines) Ask Hyce about the "mystery citrus"

Im pretty sure the Gustav was made, but it never got to fire at targets. Turns out its really easy to spot where you are making a double railway.

Kan: “All, 100%. “ Says with no boiler pressure.

Hey kAN, you should ask Hyce about engine 5629. It’s at the railroad museum. Also, there’s 2 Shays there.

I agree that metric is better than imperial for most purposes, but it’s not perfect either. Metric is based on base 10, which is not very convenient for dividing things into equal parts, because it can only be divided into halves and fifths without decimals. Base 12, on the other hand, has more factors and can be easily divided by 2, 3, 4 and 6. Imagine how much easier it would be to measure angles, time and fractions with base 12 instead of base 10. I think that is one of the main reasons imperial holds strong in America, and are still often used by craftsmen around the world. There are 12 inches to a foot, and inches are usually divided by 12 as well. Because those are the most common units of measurement, it makes calculating in them really easy. The French tried to impose base 10 on everything when they invented the metric system. They even tried it on clocks. Luckily, that failed at least. Base 12 is more intuitive and logical than base 10. Another advantage of base 12 is that it can be easily counted on one hand using the fingerbones. Each finger has three bones, so by using the thumb as a pointer, you can touch each bone and count up to 12 with one hand and 144 with two. This is more convenient than counting only up to 10 with two hands using the digits. Some cultures in Asia still use this method of counting, which shows how natural and intuitive it is.

I think you should watch the documentary on how the Hoover Dam was built. They had an elevator that they used to move rocks and cement.

The Schwerer Gustav was build to shell the Maginot Line, wasn't ready by the time the Wehrmacht just went around it though. It was used in the siege of Sevastopol where it fired 46 shells and destroyed an underground ammunition depot and several fortified positions. And they laid track to aim it, it wasn't on a turret. Oh, and we didn't only built one, there was a second one called "Dora"

if i remember correctly, britain had some elevators for the london underground to get steamers in and out, and i believe an engine fell down one-

"What in the name of coupling is going on there?" Might be my new favorite sentence ever

If your confused as to why the imperial system is the way it is, look up a video named “in defence of the imperial measurement system”

The Steam Monorail Locomotive is one firebox but two boilers. and it's used as an attraction in like the UK/Ireland or something of that nature.

For an area that goes from really hot during the summer to really cold during the winter, it's a lot less depressing measuring in F and also gives a better sense of scope. Plus, the number 20 doesn't feel like a hot number. But 100? That's hot. C sucks for human temperature

1 inch is approximately the total length of the middle bone on your index finger. 1 foot is approximately the length of your foot. 1 yard is approximately one piece measured from healed to healed which is about 3 feet. A mile is what a Roman Centrillion could march in a day. 100°F was supposed to be the average operating temperature of a human body, turns out it’s actually 96.8° which is really close but. The The imperial British system is based off the human body. The French metric is based off a trigonometry that they originally got wrong and water. And for the people who say say ‘well you need to know the temperature of water when it freezes when it boils’

Since it seems you're getting to the stage of the game where you'll need tanker cars soon, I thought I'd share one discovery I've made now that I tested it out: The Coffin Tanker cars do only hold 8 units of of Crude Oil, BUT they are much easier to align with the loading chute since they are slightly longer and actually match the distance of the two chutes. This is very convenient for me since I play alone most of the time. Since you have someone to spot for you I suppose it's going to be easier anyway, in which case I can definitely recommend the standard ones because they are more efficient on a weight per unit of cargo basis.

40:12 if you look closely at the front engine it looks suspiciously like someone forgot that their engine is driving backwards

The Ruby Basin looks more like Duck than Percy from Thomas and Friends

OK, so the issue with the US customary unit system (which is _not_ the same as the imperial system) is that it's not *a* system. It's a collection of multiple different, independent systems that, under the influence of the SI (Système international d'unités, or the International System of Units) - which is a single unified system - were cobbled together without any thought or consideration. Why are there 5280 feet in a mile? Because miles and feet measure something completely different - feet measure height, miles measure long distances (and also, yards measure short distances, and inches measure manual sizes, i.e. length, height, breadth). Compare that to metres/kilometres, which measure length (not short length/long length, just length). The same goes for pretty much every other unit as well - the units were originally used for a very specific measurement until they collided with each other into something approximating a system.

Hell yeah Kenosha time. TRADE VIDEO LETS GOOOOO

Also, hearing Hyce say we want to shoot half-meter projectile at the English, just straight killed me lol

It's concerning, that the fact is kAN's brain is getting de-aged day by day, yesterday he built a 69-420 track (in Zeepkist) & is now going to buy a locomotive which is colored & named like another one from a cation series 20 years ago. Change my mind.

As for why the US uses the imperial system is because when Britain founded the colonies they gave us the Imperial system, after the US gained independence Britain converted to the Metric system due to the close proximity to other nations using the Metric system the US had no need to convert because of their isolation and by the time trade and communication across the Atlantic ocean became frequent enough to consider converting to the international system the nations infrastructure was too developed to justify the massive economic cost to switch everything over. Many things that the world sees as "the weird American way" are actually the way Britain taught us and we never changed while Britain changed because of neighboring nations, for example Britain originally used the word Soccer taught it to the US and Australia only to adopt the new name Football and the US and Australia refused to change the name.

You just explained the meters to centimeter Conversion so much better

The imperial systems measures of length weren't really meant to be used or converted together. Miles were distances between cities and based on a thousand paces. Yards and feet and inches were measurements of buildings and materials and have body parts that tend to roughly correspond to them. But fahrenheit is objectively a more useful measure of temperature especially for cooking and weather and its even better for scientific measures in the form of Rankines. which is fahrenheits version of kelvins.

43:30 When I lived in the Southern California desert, my Dad and I would go and watch the BNSF and UP trains roll through town. Every now and then they'd pull into town very slowly, a dude would jump out, run across the parallel running street and into a Taco shop, pick up a huge bag of food, and jump back on the locomotive. Even easier when they'd get a red and sit to let another train pass. This was in the late 90's and early 2000's. So, either they were radioing their order to dispatch who placed it, or someone was actually carrying a cellphone.

My argument in regards to the use of Fahrenheit: 69°C is really hot. 69°F is... niiccce.

Y wings were gold squadron if I remember correctly

48:40 would honestly love to see you two play factorio

In a few narrow gauge lines they had did in fact have the huge spools of cable at the upper level of the mine that would pull these small sections of track up the side of a hill

Can Kan cut the trees back a bit more so they dont clip through the train as he drives by, thatd be nice

The Schwerer Gustav gun was used in ww2 to target the British and fired an 80cm or (insert imperial measurement you Americans can look up yourselves) shell and it aimed using a "Y" track, in fact this "Y" is the only track it ever ran on and only reason it was on rails to begin with is because it would be too expensive to make big enough motors for the Schwerer Gustav to be on a turret.

The X-Wing was gray, yes, but squadron color for visual identification was the red color on the sides. If you look close at the X-Wings wings, you will notice that “Red 5” has five red stripes. Red Leader had only one. Red 3 had three. Etc. Gold squadron was painted gold and represented TBF/M Avenger torpedo bombers from WWII. There is a good episode on Adam Savage’s Tested channel where he examines one of the original X-Wing props that has somehow survived since 1977, and was slated to be detonated for filming but was never done, and was even re-striped to change it from one member of the squadron to another. Originally, Red and Blue were supposed to attack the Deathstar, but the blue paint caused problems with the blue screen used for special effects so Blue Squadron became Gold Squadron. That’s why in “Rogue One” they finally feature Blue Squadron, and they’re all wiped out at Scariff… and is why afterwards, Red Squadron was renamed “Rogue Squadron” in canon. I still say #21 needs to be a Tenmile bogie! It’s just such a weird concept + the Mason engineer put the reverser gear on the outside and stuck the bell on it, plus the antlers on the headlight and the never-ever had it Ridgeway Spark Arrester just makes it look like someone was drunk when putting it together… especially when painted blue or garish green. It just screams “I’m drunk, bin me on Kenosha Pass, bin me downhill and full reg on the 10%, please!!!” …that, and every time Hyce sees it he will take a shot of whiskey just to keep playing as so not to be able to see it anymore, heh. :P

I actually watched a few videos about imperial vs metric, and why US uses imperial. Iirc US wanted to use metric but pirates stole the standards, so we didn't get it nefore the industrial revolution, and good freaking luck getting every industry in a continent-sized country to change their standards. Also another youtuber said we can't change because he only taught his kid metric, and any time he talked in metric his kid said "what's that in real units?"

The 0-6-0's wheels spin faster than its ground speed.

can you two make anouther railroads online series but only be able to have one care of each type

Hyce: "I promise not to derail"... Literally 8 seconds later: * derails *

There are incline engines, they basically serve as elevators for mines in very mountainous areas

Love how all the updates I’ve been wantin started rolling out after I’ve been gone for two months training on my new job

The Gustav was used in combat and was very destructive but yea it didn't derail with the Recoil and was used in limited use but did work really well

there were locomotives in europe in the 1800s that had 2 boilers for 2 engines attached back to back. Mastodonte dei Giovi british-belgian locomotive Fairlie british locomotive i remember these two chonkers, idk if there are more also fun fact about ww1 trains, italian military trains used navy personel and tactics to shoot on the move, mind you with medium-small caliber cannons near the frontline. italy extensively used these type of "battleship" trains to shoot at austro-hungarians and german with scary efficiency.

"One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force"

the Gustav was indeed actually deployed in combat

The Ffestiniog railway, a Welsh (obviously; just look at the name) narrow-gauge railway, used a few "double Fairlies," which had two separate boilers, with separate fireboxes, each driving separate wheelsets on separate bogies (trucks, in your parlance). They were effectively two locomotives joined back-to-back, sharing a single cab in the centre. They still have three in operation; one original, built 1879, and two new-built, one completed 1992 and the other 2023.

A question for Hyce how would they know where to put track and stations and how would they get the surplus there with the money cost and transportation down grade of Haveing no rail to travel on

People always debate Celsius vs Fahrenheit as if it has anything to do with Metric vs Imperial measurements, but Celsius barely even counts as being part of the metric system. But my question is, if "Fahrenheit is about how you feel because I don't care about how water feels", why do kettles use Fahrenheit?!

kAN, Fahrenheit is pretty simple. At 0° you need 3 layers of clothes, 33° 2 layers, 67° 1 layer, 100° 0 layers. It works nicely in thirds of 100. Keep in mind, this is literally THE ONLY ADVANTAGE imperial has on metric, every other aspect of metric is far, far superior. Also, if you want to know where all the imperial units come from, it was the British, we stole all the most obscure units they used to use before standardizing (citation needed, not 100% sure on that, it’s not super well documented from what I can tell)

Nowhere does the metric system make more sense than in radiation units. SI unit: Becquerel = 1 disintegration/second. Easy to see how many disintegrations happen per second in each source i.e. 1 Kbq = 1000 Dps Freedom Unit: Curie = 3.7 x 10^10 disintegrations per second. I've got 24 mCi, how many dps is that? Obviously with maths you can figure out conversion, but just being able to look at the Bq and immediately know the strength of a source is incredibly useful compared to doing mental math

Metric vs Imperial: The metric system is younger than the imperial system. It was "invented" in 1799 during the French revolution. The amounts/sizes of these measures came from nature: metre => circumference of the earth kilogram => weight of a litre (1dm³) water temperature => 0°C freezes water, 100°C boils water

"schwerer Gustav" did use normal tracks for transportation. the double, reinforced, tracks were only used for firing. 3000mm gage( that is almost 10 feet) was a plan for the time after the victory of nazi germany. the cars would have been 6000mm( 6 meters/almost 20 feet) wide. there was a plan for a steam turbo electric locomotion for freight trains, it was supposed to be used in double units that would have been 128 meters long. that is 420 feet. the steam would have been produced in the kettle followed by a 3 stage steam overheater driving a high pressure turbine, then another overheater, then a low pressure turbine, the turbines would have driven a generator producing electricity wich would then drive the wheels with electric motors. 4-12-12-4-10-10--10-10-4-12-12-4 the 10s are the tenders, the 12s are driven estimated power: 21800 HP top speed: 100km/h

Absolutely agree with you on the dated Imperial unit system. From "The Life of Brian" ; What have the Roman ever done for us.? If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. Metric system is standardised even with liquids. ie 1 litre of water weighs 1 KG etc. Rather than the Roman Imperialists system trying to tell us you need to know how far a Roman can walk in one step = 3 foot lengths = 1 foot is the length of a Roman soldiers foot of which is made from the length of 12 Inches, 1 inch being the length of 1 Roman thumb end.. 1 mile equals 5280 feet.. and, to my surprise NOT 1000 yards. Mind boggling to reverse engineer unless you have a Roman soldier to compare and all measurement units are lost due to events similar to what happened to that library of archives when it was burned down by... Yes Head Roman, Caesar. (Who was of non average soldier stature) BTW Metric system = A true, triangulated global width of the world (Providing you ignore the tiny error at the end of the measurement).. Then they do maths with that number and get it to this number which has no remainder and could be held in the hand.. One Meter.. Or something like that.. Its all on youtube Even "The Life of Brian" + FREE. Weirdly I am a Dual taught 1970's to 1980's kid and I use the metric system to make stuff and I can visualise 1 mile because we lived exactly 1 mile away from the petrol station. P.S. Imperial weight measurements have something to do with a Bell somewhere and an amount of rice it holds equates to the same as 1 Rabbi and a sacrificial chicken. < This one I'm obviously unsure, But points out its "Common" availability.

Just to answer a question in the video. Who came up with all the units of measure the US uses... look no further than the Romans and Britain. They still use Imperial as well. Oh and the original Mile used to be 5000 Roman feet. or 5 feet to a Pace or 1000 Roman paces to a Mile. Then Britain further adjusted it by breaking up the Furlong(8 Furlongs to a Mile) into 660 Feet per Furlong. Since the British foot is shorter than a Roman foot, the 8 Furlongs to a mile came out to 5280 UK Feet. We've been stuck with it ever since. To confuse matters even more at the time of the adjustment, both the Irish Mile and Scottish mile were different as well. They were both longer than a British Mile. Oh and for the record, ALL scientific and industrial entity's in the US use Metric and then convert to Imperial.

To weigh in on the Imperial vs System International (metric) debate. Who came up with it? What Empire does both Canada and the United States have in their shared history? Why is America so steadfast on sticking with Imperial? It's the history of Privateering coming home to roost. Following the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers wanted to try and differentiate the new collection of states from Great Britain as much as possible...to the point that in a parallel universe, a single vote went the other way and you would have to learn German to speak with Hyce. One of these things up for possible change was the Imperial system of measurement, to which France offered a (then) rare set of weights and measures for the Metric system. Problem was the ship got raided by British Privateers and the weights never reached the US, so they eventually just decided to stick with what they knew. To be honest though, The US has adopted the Metric system, just look at our currency. But for the most part, its generally a cost issue that's stopped a more widespread switch...that and it's easier to say the "50 Yard Line" in (American) Football than the "45.72 Meter Line". I say that in jest, but it's still a consideration for people who like Sports...

A newton is not 1kg dropping from 1m. It's a measure of force. 1 newton is 1/9.81 of a kg of weight on earth. Definitionally: 1 newton is the force required to accelerate 1kg by 1m/s/s. Unless you're looking to use the beef as a counterbalance, you likely don't care about the weight, but you do care about the mass. This Kg is the appropriate unit.

I like COAL guys. COAL is cool and black. COAL is also very easy to burn and releases a ton of steam energy. COAL is my favorite energy source.

(paused at 57:49, never watched this episode and didn't look it up) Percy from Thomas the tank engine is Number 6. I know because I still remember the 60 year aniversity wood "silver Percy" train toy I got as a kid with the gold Thomas toy.

28:00 The locomotive elevator discussion triggered some deep-deep memories of a little picture book about unique trains around the world that I had as a little kid. I know there was something about some kind of elevator in there because I always wanted to know how it worked but nobody in my immediate or extended family could tell me - I know that's SUPER vague and unhelpful but the last time I even saw that book was close to 25 years ago. 32:55 Same. Metric works way better for math and converting between units, so it's way easier to be precise. Imperial is better for quick guesstimates because a lot of common units are based on parts of the (average human's) body: 1 inch ~ length of the last digit of your thumb (or the width), 1 foot ~ length of your foot, 1 yard ~ 1 stride.

People like saying F is how you feel, but it really isn't. If they really wanted something like that, then a moderate temperature like 10-15 C would be taken as 0, with higher temperatures indicating it is getting hot and you need to wear clothes to accommodate the heat, and negative indicating it is cold. That would also give a simple measure of how hot it is, with 40 C (100 hot) being so hot you will die if you aren't careful, and 0C (or 100 cold) being you will die if you don't wear warm clothes. But ultimately, it is simply what you are used to.

I'm by no means an expert on it but one of the main things that I've seen and heard from older people who where around in the 70's when the metric system was being tried in the states. One of the big push-backs they had was with work as carpentry or metal fabricators, apparently while decimal based uniform graphs do work well in most spaces, doing things like woodwork or metal work where you may measure down in fractions is easier and faster to do in the imperial system without a calculator. Whether that's true or not, but the real prevailing point I've always seen is why go through all the trouble to change something that has no real effect on people who are using it .

They did use the Gustavs they built 4 of them...shelled the beaches during Husky and continuously shelled leningrad from 1941-1944...

I can't believe he brought up the SLUG but does he know about the BLOB!!??? It brings new meaning to refering to someone as a blob........

Please, look up the treaty if the meter kAN ... technically speaking, the United States joined as of 1878. This is all I will say, you may discover the rest 😅

The answer to americas measuring system boils down to one word "Britain". We still use the crapy system that Britain gave us, and because America didnt know about the metric system BEFORE the industrial revolution, everything that we made was already in the imperial system and would have been a pain to swap everything over to the metric. Though I wish we would have.

kan they did use that railroad gun before

If you even think the answer to something is not "It depends", chances are you just don't know enough about the subject. And thus in extension, when you get a lot of "It depends" from someone, it usually means they actually know what they are talking about :)

I heard Fast 5 is pretty fun, as they embraced super-hero-ish silliness of the franchise in that one. And Fahrenheit is absolutely ridiculous - this dude decided to define his scale through some oddly specific brine solution freezing point and "his best estimate" of average human body temperature and since then was redefined two times, first by tying it back to freezing and boiling of water and then later through Kelvin scale!

45:00 can't swear on the radio? Its a good thing the FCC has no jurisdiction at my work... We'd all be in jail!

To answer for rotation of the Gustav, it was put onto a massive turntable that the Germans built and rotated that way, I believe that some were even completely dismounted by crane from their massive railcars and placed in massive turret bases that would rotate the gun that way

Another reason why Kume might do all the calculations in metric in-game is because Unreal Engine does all the maths in metric by default... it saves computing power for the game to do all the maths in metric vs imperial because every imperial equation has to convert before it'll work

Ask Hyce about steam turbine train engines. For your movie, how about the protagonist is made fun of for running a steam turbine engine that he built himself. He is actually a genius inventor that is racing to show everyone that the engine he invented is better than anything else, and to raise money to save the shop he inherited from his dad. Obviously, the antagonist was involved in his dads suspicious death. And you'd better use the special logs from Back to the Future as an easter egg; with a comment that he got them from someone named Doc Brown.

Blame the pirates for stealing the kilogram standard that Jefferson requested during the infancy of America. Since they were stolen, he had to come up with another system. Where he got the numbers, who knows.

you know why i like standard measurements over metric? my thumb is 1 inch wide, my foot is approximately 1 foot long, a yard is about the length of my arm. they make sense for quick measurements when you have no tools lol

Made the same mistake using the Climax. Putting it on 100% means wheelslip (like in the good old days of the game), maybe you could try less next time

Metric is great if you need to do exact math with your units. Imperial is great if you want a unit that's the right size for it's purpose or if you want to multiply/divide by 2 -4.

I agree with the F&F commentary but also that's why it's a movie.. If it were realistic it'd be awful and boring, they're not car movies, they're action movies

You have some choochoos now so soon you should make a multi train lots of people massive operations episode. Tell Dapper and Kosmo to join and run stuff just all over the place. Also tell them to go die on the 10% like real railroaders. Just saying.

it is impirtant to remember that grams are technically not a unit of weight; grams are a unit of *mass*, not of weight. your mass remains the same regardless of your location in the universe, while your weight changes based on gravity and bouyancy (you technically weigh less underwater than on land)

You know, I doubt it will ever happen and even if it would happen, I know it would be a long time till then, but I really wish this game could come to console, I'd be playing this game a lot if it would be on it someday, or if something similar was on console anyways

Instead of saying "it depends" to people, I say "it diapers a bit." To this day I have only gotten 4 old people to giggle at my dad level joke.

It's a hard Argument which is better Metric or Imperial Measurements, Cause one is easier to grasp while the other is Quicker to do Mental Math with. As strange as you would think it is One can be done quicker than the other but the other is easier for children to learn. plus the hard truth is it's all metric anyway.

If people are confused about the Imperial System, go ask the Europeans. They invented it and then decided to invent a new system, then compane that the new system isn't being used.

The train racing reminded me of the robot chicken clip where it’s Percy from thomas the train and they have to get somewhere fast to catch someone and it’s just Percy slowly building up

That whole swearing thing in the US with the FCC is so ridiculous. As if the US didn't have any real problems.

Love the videos and the discussions throughout the video... if you can occasionally bring up the map that'd be awesome...

What is fun and probably no one noticed is that US speed limit signs (for highways anyways) for a while had both mph and kph. Most no longer do that.

Don't worry, most Americans think metric is better too, but we just didn't learn it cause school is stupid. Imperial has it's purposes, however obtuse they are, but there are the rare few things it's better at

Imperial vs metric is a cute debate but I work in an industry that designs units by the 16th of an inch and tracks productivity by thousands of square feet.

about the rail racing movie I had a though: 2 local small company with only 1 engine each battle for getting to the same location to get the 1rst most lucrative load and the loser would get the 2nd load (or no load and need to get to another location altogether to get some money), the crew of each train would have a telegram sistem near the other base so they can emergency contact sayingg they are getting ready to go and the race would be trying to be the 1rst to get to the main railway before the other or something like that... well there would be a lot of problem with just that but still... anyway I started playing satisfactory again not long ago and decided I'll give the train in here a go as I never did before and got inspired by this serie xD

You could actually make a cinematic using railroads online and the help of viewers. Thats how people make cinematics on warthunder.
