[DV] NEW ROAD STEAM ENGINE and TANK CARS FOR DERAIL VALLEY! 

Mission 'Turn Hyce into a Foamer': Success ✅

seeing Hyce's joy at the radius arm being properly animated is precious.

The red running gear is great for finding damage or cracks, since the dirt/grime sticks to the cracks and creates a easy to see black line.

5:18 You´re right! Usually in german german locomotives: The round type of heat exchanger is a "Oberflächen-Vorwärmer" (surface pre-heater), where the cold water flows through pipes surrounded by used steam. The square type, seen on "Reko" (Rebuild) locomotives (In East Germany from 1960 onward) mixes the used steam with the cold water. It´s called "Misch-Vorwärmer" (Mixing pre-heater). It´s the easiest way to tell apart a "Altbau" (older build, which means pre-1945) locomotive from a "Reko" (Rebuild) locomotive.

To Greg, if you see this the gauge glass as modelled is the protective shield around the glass tube that contains the actual water. The shield should not contain any water, its only job is to protect the tube from being damaged and protect the crew from the steam and water should the glass tube break. Otherwise the cab is nicely done. The valve gear is excellent.

If you ever visit Germany, the largest narrow guage Steamlocomotive network in Germany is the HSB "Harzer Schmalspurbahn" (Harz Mountainrange narrow guage railroad). They are very special in many ways: - 140km (87mi) of Steam powered meter gauge railway. With extentions considered - A tunnel - A turnig loop (like on streetcars) - A short street running section. - A station at a college campus, so you can commute to university by steam locomotive. - a siding where you have to back out, so only a single switch. (legally the siding it's a station but no person or cargo is allowed to enter or alight). - A, section where also actual streetcars operate (by using a secondary diesel engine) - if you enjoy hiking it also a great hiking region within a national park. Also the network is not entirely tailored to tourism they also provide a rudimentary commuter/regional rail service but obviously the majority of revenue comes only from the line up to the mountain peak for those who are to lazy to hike up just two to three hours. You would really enjoy it there.

And it's so cool that they somewhat fit with the game's setting Can't wait to see some of the big german locomotives with tenders and wind deflectors, hopefully

Someone needs to make an Erie L-1 class for Derail Valley. I can already imagine running from the cab to the back to shovel coal, then running back to the cab to keep driving the thing.

Hyce has extremely contagious excitement. Hearing him get excited makes me excited and I don't even know how valve gear works

My favourite big tank engine is the Great Western Railway's own 2-8-2, the '7200' class. But this thing is so brilliant in its own way, amazing to have it in game!

not only do i love this, Zeibach updated his couplers to theoretically work with tank engine bois (and the knuckles are walkable). also cant heckin wait for those tank cars

You've probably have gotten like 10 comments on this already but yes, Most of smokebox's engines have the valve gear animated for every reverser position. (Save for the 2-8-0 Connie, which was all the way back in 2013) But For everything else it is there. It's actually the thing that takes the longest to animate for him I believe. Incredible Model for this though, Stoked that this game is finally getting cool cool shit like this.

I love big tank engines. There's something very absurd about an engine that large being a tank engine. Much like the British Rail 4MT, which is another one I am a big fan of. I guess that's why I'm looking forward to some of the chonky Uintah tank engines for Railroads Online

DR BR 86, one of my favourite locomotives! They were perfect all around machines for both passenger and freight service. Also you should see the 2-12-4 tank engine Germans build for the Bulgarians I believe. It makes this thing look tiny!

One of these Class 86s (owned by a private company) still performs occasional shunting duties in the port of Hamburg, here's a video of it in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xs5nrbPQW5o.html It's quite a sight to behold in front of modern container cars.

Fun fact most german tender engines have tenders that are narrow at the height of the windows so you can see the same as out the front, check out model trains, youll see

It was super cool to talk to you a bit in person today at the CRM!

Hyce playing with new toys. and of course to make the Moola = you gotta haul the Splodey Boi's. the sheer joy of Hyce seeing a correctly modeled Valve Train!

Hyce foaming at how good the train looks is the kind of wholesome nerd shit we subscribed for.

i cant wait to see what the modding community does with railroads online since they've done such a great job with derail valley

man, that is awesome! this has to be one of, if not THE best locomotive mod so far! not to mention the cars are beautifully made as well. man, the modding community is just phenomenal! now all we need is someone modding *_-A BIG BOY-_* (just kidding) North American/United States locomotives and rolling stock into Derail Valley!

Man I love german trains. As a kid I had an 86, a 52 and an 03

The buffest engine in Germany got a vacation to Hyce's messy Railroad:

a short note about the cab of the engine: Class 89 and 86 were indeed closely related. In general the engines designed in DRG period (1921 - 1940) really used as many common parts as possible, servicinge the engines was just way easier if you could take the engine apart and just rebuild it with already serviced parts. The prussians did that already to a great extend before WWI - just look at their classes P8, G10 and T16 as example, they share almost everything. The cab being nearly identical also goes back to that standardization effort. The Class 86 is actually considered to be a medium engine. The T20/Class 95 or the Class 94 (bavarian GT 4x4) are the heavyweights of german tank engines. BTW: Germany did not use any US-Parts back then in any railway application - the railway was a national agency, not a private company since it was considered critical infrastructure.

Hyce the man who loves Durango and Rio Grande engines and drives DB DRG locomotive without thinking things are different in Duatchland haha good job mate

I know nearly nothing about steam, but it seems like the perfect avenue for Germans to go hard on the crazy engineering.

one last thing: if you use the lean keys(Q & E), you can phase into the firebox. that makes lighting the fire *SO* much easier!

I feel it's very appropriate that, being located in Germany, I get a whole bunch of Deutsche Bahn ads while watching a video featuring a DRG locomotive. Great video, love the enthusiasm!

Sounds like you need Derail Valley's foamer cam: type *player.freecamtoggle* in the console, point at your loco and hit enter on the numpad. Foam to your heart's content as it tracks your loco and can be freely moved around whilst tracking

also the valves on the dome is a blow down pipe for when the locomotive is finish running for the day the open the valve and all the steam is released it best to open both valves as so not to spray your fireman or worker with superheated steam

The yardtrack/placeyard yardtrack/placeyard on the hud are indicators of which way switches are set by highlighting and pointing towards the track/yard you're lined into. Also L on the hud for what the brake cylinders are doing is Lap I think.

This class of engine was at a Belgian steam festival where you could ride passenger trains and way more stuff but this engine (the New engine in the vid ) was pulling a train when its safety valve burst and well the fireman and driver were severely burned but recovered. (a little story about that engine cause why not)

3:33 ITS THE BANANA!

Smokebox's engines do have accurately animated valve gear

2:20 - "no, no, no" Not only are your videos informative, who knew you were a comedic champion? Congratulations Hyce!

I can't believe we went an entire DV video without an Earth-shattering kaboom lol

That was fun! Thanks Hyce, Greg, and Katy for your work, it's inspiring :)

The cab is the same because that was one of the goals of the 'Einheitslok' programme. Depending on the year modeled the generator will have multiple frequency specific rotors for the Indusi safety system. Maximum speed is 70 kmh

This is one of my favorite engines in Train Simulator

I see they're bringing Steam in a DLC to Train Sim World 2. Lets hope they get it all right. I'll probably buy it. Still working through Horse Shoe Curve content. Speaking of... was running down it with 11000 Tons and it started to rain. Turns out wet rails is a thing in TSW2. To add to my problems I didn't realize my trailing Loco(there were 3 on the head end) wasn't configured correctly and the Dynamics did NOTHING. I went through the Horse Shoe 20mph over the speed limit and mumbling "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit Ima bout to have a Kenosha moment before I can get to Altoona!" I was in Full service and Dynamic 8 and she was just slip sliding all the way down.

Just saw on Nexus and we got a THIRD steam locomotive. MAV 475 is what is is called and I want to give you a heads up. The center of the firebox has 3 levers, 1 knob. The center knob is the blower, the 2 levers on the side is the INJECTOR and the top lever is the whistle. Drafting mechanism is on the left. Sander is one the right. On the side of the firebox, you have your STEAM dump. The water dump is UNDER the water glass, and it is the darkened lever. Hyce, if you do a video on shunting with the MAV 475, go to the right side and turn the screw reverse from the OUTSIDE of the locomotive, watch the valve gear. I bet you might enjoy it

You should know by now Hyce that you should NEVER foam near a steam locomotive unless it is the Factorio one running nuclear fuel... Otherwise you will extinguish its firebox and how will you get your steam then? :D

Nice. Valve gear. But no explodey bits. Love your work

Something even bigger whould be class 65. That is a Berkshire tank locomotive with the east german version having 63" drivers and being able to go 90 km/h. Pretty much my favorite german tank locomotive because its pretty big.

Hyped to see the 05, 01 and 52 and whatever else big you can think off

*Liked* Solely for Hyces reaction to the accuracy of the model and all the motion, because God knows I would be the exact same way, giddy with excitement. If you give 'em enough, everyone is a foamer. And the HL2 reference, you're not the only one. Welcome to City 17

Hyce saying "nope" in fast speed is the best part. Also, with the 0-4-0 (0-6-0?) I didn't need to remove the coupler mod. That didn't mess anything up. Also, VALVE GEEEEEEAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

The reason a lot of british (and so some extent european) locos have tiny single chimes is because they operated in highly populated areas at all hours of the day and in high frequency, I think there were some old LSWR commuter tank engines that had larger whistles that had to be replaced due to noise complaints. I think it was M7's?

All the models from Greencoast Studios are really high quality, and include that sort of movement you can see. And we’re talking Trainz here 😂. They’re soooo good. Plus, they make the only model of a Pennsy Q2 known for that game (among others).

man my mouth dropped seeing that radius arm animate! also love those large chuffing animations from the stack.

Oh jeeze, I can't wait till walschaerts valve gear engines start appearing in RO

I love this guys video’s, I found home like a week ago and now I know even more about trains.

Also this is very well animated loco mod. Some great beauty shots

your excitement is as good as the engine. shes a beaut

Excited Hyce noises are the best. :3

Good Googly moogly that's one amazing engine. The valve gear animation is Awsome!

Nice Class 86 Model, Looks awesome! The only thing that bugs me about it are the square buffers, round ones would be more apropriate.

Hyce, did you know that in Germany a Narrow Gauge version of this engine runs along the Molli Railway and goes through a 1km section of track in the town of Bad Doberen.

Watching you take that grade with the throttle cracked all the way open and full hurricane blower was a glorious thing. I swear I could smell it through the screen 🤣

hyce had a lot of fun today good for you

These mod steam locos certainly breathe some new life into DV. Thanks for the showcase! I've been playing the Steam DLC for Train Sim World 2 a bit lately though and I've been spoilt by the swaying physics/effects as you run down the rails... someone should do a cab/engine sway mod for DV 😏

Now all we need is a model of 683 or 1026 and we will have a happy hyce lol

Canada still has steam locomotives like royal Hudson 4-6-4 in Vancouver and Duncan bc has steam locomotives too

Needs a skin for "Firecracker Fuels" too! These custom engines and cars are really great!

Yep Smokebox models in TS2022 have fully animated valve gear. Love seeing this kind of attention to detail from modelers.

Fun fact: when 4018 was moved, it took so long to get onto the main that when they reached the wye south of Fair Park, the decision was made to shove from there all the way to Irving (about 15 miles), and the crew still ended up getting relieved at Union Station.

I like the window visibility on that thing. I might have to get me some modded engines. I need those tank cars too, for the "asphyxiate" joke.

Everything on german locomotives was german! Including the dynamo. ;) I think the dynamos were built by AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft) but can't verify, pics that show builders plates are hard to come by. The Kunze-Knorr system was the german counterpart to the Westinghouse brake. The air pump on the model is the Nielebock-Knorr doppelverbundluftpumpe, or double/cross compound. As mentioned elsewhere the 86 was part of the einhetslok standardization program that started in the 1920s, every loco is built from a set of standardized parts which is why german steamers look the same. The gains in cost and servicability was the drive force behind this radical move as a common part from an 86 could be replaced with a common part from an 01. You could say the DB/DRG was the Pennsy of europe. ;) A playlist with lots of german/european locos for you to study, it shows many great contrasts between american and european locomotive building and operation practices: ru-vid.com/group/PLvnHDnL1qXo825lEZJmZGibPsHPC-VAcg

I know Hyce likes the double fairley. If there isn’t a mod already, let’s make it a thing

Best promotional video for the mod.

If I remember right that was one of the Übergang skriegslokomotive which where German war locomotives there are 5 left in service hauling coal in Bosnia they where only supposed to last 10 years then be replaced but somehow they still push on I recommend watching mark felon on those 5

If they ever make a British steam tank engine... hyce is going to have fun, especially if its an E2, the E2 tank engines were massive tank engines

Beautiful loco and nice video! -greetings from Germany ;)

My grandpa told me a story about when he worked on the Santa Fe Railroad and he was going down a hill once, and everyone knows that you have to put the brakes on when going downhill, and my grandpa did so, he tried the normal brake, nothing happened, he tried the independent brake, nothing happened, at that point he was half way down a hill going 60 in a 40 zone, he tries the vacuum brakes in the rear and that slowed the train, and they got the train to the next location and reported the incident, but the stupid thing is that the hear bosses said was "don't move your train, stay on the hill" and my grandpa told me and he didn't say this then but he said it inside his head "I just got my train down the hill and now you want me to put it back on the hill?"

You had quite the nerdgasm when you saw the radius rod moved.

Imagine if the madman were to have hyce get references for an American locomotive and he makes one with accuracy hyce would have sheer happiness

11:45 Ah, yes, Ex-Physiate. Totally didn't use my own name as a suggestion; no fun had when making skins whatsoever 😂

Ah yes, the BR 86! I'll see it this year when i'll go to the Schwarzenberg railway museum :D

Love the German made Steam Engines, I hope we see more custom locos in this game from a lot of nations. Would LOVE to see an Alco MLW FP-4 in the game and a lot of the EMD in general really.

Imagine being a farmer and just seeing a train highballing through your station with the engine at the back🤣🤣🤣

Hyce, I know I made a joke about the Dynamo Generator on Steamies b4, about how they were a cursed Halloween prank, but that previous comment was removed for some reason idk bc it was in my old account, but yknow what I was talking about with the Socalled Dynamo being a fake Missile for during the wars of Halloween pranks but still it's a great one for all railroaders to get in on the fun to talk about the silliness of that bullet shaped thingy. I'm Ella and it's Grow Time!!!!!

I love it when he plays derail valley his commentary is always priceless

Funny you mention jimmy, he and I grew up going to the model railroad in balboa park.

Hey Hyce, if you want extra money there is a mod you can use , the DVSGE , run as administrator then on the left side of the box is where you can type in any amount of money you want , then save do not exit out , then start derail valley and look at your wallet, whatever amount you typed in will be there

Nice job as all ways love that you say explody boys

The mikado is i think originally a Czech locomotive from ČKD

I've gotten the SH282 to go faster than the speedometer reads by using a mod to disable derailments

great to see your enthusiasm, makes for great video's. The time fly's by watching. But's it's a no-no to use the coupler from the loco, alway's use the one from the wagon. It's cheaper to set the wagon aside when the coupler breaks then to bring the loco in for repairs. Now let's see some explodie boy's do what there named for!

Hoping that we will see a class 86 mod for railroad online

This is really cool! Great vid as always. One of my favorite chonky tank engines is the Minarets 2-10-2T. It was a really odd one off built for logging. Love that thing, shame it didn’t get preserved.

Some people refer the Dynamo on a European Steam Engine as the Mini Bullet, because of it's shape, and it's quite used in science fiction films that have to do with extreme train explosions and giant CABOOMS, because they want the best of a train being destroyed. But yet it's all about the money, and directors and producers always wanna swim in they're pool full of billions of dollars just to make a profit and create another film that the public will be waiting for, and it just goes on and on until the companies can't pacify the viewers to the point they just die of boredom, but that's how moviemakers are they wanna rip people off and make the best, but soon they watch they're creation and think we did horrible so we need to do something better. Anyway, I'm Skye and I'll S'yall In the Skies. This Pups Gotta Fly

you know... I was going to make a joke about asphyxiation leading to explosions at times... but... XDD I think I best leave that unsaid =P

Oh man, love the 86 tank but hard nerding out over the TW tanker, nerdy facts, the prototype is for the 5ft 3in (or Irish gauge) Victorian railways, it was the larger size of the TW class (we had a lot of one-off tankers in our system), and was known to be branded for golden fleece fuel or plain black. But oh heck, it fits perfectly in DV

It hurts to hear you call them 0-6-0 and 2-8-2... the Br 86 is a 1'D1'!

DV needs more steam locos

Not knowing why it was dumb I probably would have put the loco in the middle and shoved both ways.

I thought the railroads online developers only does railroads online and I'm excited for the railroads online freight tech tree video when is it ready

Afaik they used these tanks for steam hauled push-pull service, even (or a similar looking sister class). Typically with the smoke stack towards the consist, even

Now I want to see an NZR Ka or Ab mod for this game. Also, interesting fact about German steam locomotive design: Unlike British and American tender locomotives, which ran better in one direction only, German tender engines were designed to go both ways equally.

16:20 If you like this, then imagine a mighty 2-10-2 tank engine like the BR 95 😎
