Finally Using an Engine Shed for its Intended Purpose in Railroads Online! 

I get excited every time kan uploads. Special when he uploads railroads online.

The handcars do not have a speed limit at this time, yes. The only limit is the friction. But theoretically, you can run them as fast, as you want (Hyce explained it in the last stream). EDIT: Oh, yes. if you go to fast, they can derail, sure.

I had to do some reading but according to what I found out (and it makes sense ... for a real world steam engine) using the reverser to break the train, aside from the fact that if the wheels start rotating (slipping) in the opposite direction causing excessive heat build up in the wheels from the friction, it can damage the drive piston cylinder. This is because the piston is further compressing the pressurized steam entering the chamber. A heavy train, rolling down hill with the reverser set opposite to the direction of travel can cause enough overpressure to rupture the drive cylinder or bend the drive linkage or both. In extreme cases the overpressure can back up into the steam chest and boiler. The boiler is protected with a "pop off" or pleasure release valve, but the steam chest is not and this would risk blowing it apart at the seams.

Throwing the Johnson bar in reverse and applying steam with the reg is generally referred to as smoke box dynamics (in reference to the dynamic brakes on a diesel locomotive) and it is generally frowned upon as you are highly likely to severely damage the wheels of the engine, the track should you slip and the connecting rods due to forces pulling them in opposite directions.

The handcart would be perfect for the racing/Rollercoasters

15:40 He can just turn around using the y as it comes back to the logging camp from the canyon: turn left onto the log side and then back up around to the cordwood ready for forward departure

Love the new lumber camp cordwood setup. Looks fantastic, and operating it looks like a nice divergence from the standard "open regulator, make sure don't derail on corners, wait until at unload platform".

Gotta say I love these videos because I can just put them on and do my homework. Thanks

That handcar looks like a 19th-century skateboard! 😁

Great vid dood Realism wise, railroad would just have a runaround track, no turntable, and back the loco at the head end

Kan, suggestion….what about making a straight line out of the turntable so you simply realign the turn table with lane 1 then reverse the train over the turntable and out the back side to a new switch on your main loading line so you rejoin it going in reverse just past the loading point, you then flick the switch then pull straight into loading area. Seems like it will be quicker and easier on you for so may repeated runs.

Loving the quality content in railroads online

Perfect timing, just what I needed right now! :)

Hi kan. I rly like watching these videos but I ran out than you uploaded again. This is pure content.

A good way to set up for multiplayer might be to have one or more inbound/outbound tracks for each industry. In the case of taking cordwood to the smelter’s, there could be both the loading track and another track for storing empties or a loaded train at the logging camp (plus an escape siding). The loco drops the empties on one track, picks up the loaded train, and is on its way in relative short order. A smaller loco moves the empties from the inbound track to the loading track and loads them (or loads them then moves them to the outbound track). There could be a similar setup on the other end at the smelter’s, just with an extra track or two because the switcher down there needs to break up the train to unload it. An industry in this game would probably only require a single switcher for everything, if not just use the mainline power like you’ve been doing. I’d probably go for a switcher for most if I’m going to host multiplayer, though, especially industries that either demand or produce a lot of different resources or require a lot of car movements.

I got a chance to hop in an actual climax today, and the guys were saying that the firebox reaches 400 degrees celsius and they have the windows open most of the time, as well as stacking logs right up to the cab roof and blocking one of the entrances to the cab. They also had smoke bellowing out of the water hatch at one point which was cool. Maybe you should actually buy the climax soon lmao (number it 1694 if you want) Edit: It was one of the Puffing Billy railway's climax engines at the steamrail workshop in newport. They brang it down because of the open day and had it steamed up on the back of a truck as it was narrow gauge and everything else was standard or broad.

Farma Tharma got a screenshot of the hardcart going at 88mph. It was in rerail mode, but the speed limits when glitching the rerail still apply, and the hardcart doesn't have one.

A mainline wouldn’t run through an industry per se. You would have a switch lead off the main line with and spot the cars accordingly. The switch may even have a run around so that your loco could run around to push the cars into place.

23:20 nice wood

kAN, that curve into your engine shed is worse than the curves into my engine sheds. And I was mad at myself for saying THOSE were OK enough. :P

You should get another hand cart and name it doom, so you have zoom and doom. Keep up the good work

Hi @kan.. DRV allows you to control the Loco from anywhere by Short cut keys. Providing you're stood on the Loco. EVEN the roof. ;)

I would have made it so that Cordwood or Coal could be delivered to both the Smelter and the Iron Works but with the Coal being far more efficient, that would be the incentive to build the line to the coal mine but if you didn’t Cordwood could be used but a lot more of it. The current ratios in the game work

Last time I used a handcart it couldn't even climb a 1% grade consistently. Moving around will be so great now!

Yes, the video I’ve been waiting for!

Hyce would love your work today. Your OCD has been Cured. Congratulations. lol

20:24 Oh you'll have fun with the refinery then. there are MULTIPLE different loading points that require switching off the main line that you have running around it.

When you buy the Climax Geared locomotive you can store it next to the Hissler locomotive.

When you go downhill you could use the sander to prevent wheelslip

always leave yourself some extra room on parallel tracks and storage lanes as future cars are likely to be larger in size.

hello kan, i absolutely love you vids!! keep up the awsome content

Kan. A good way to explain wheel slip is that they’re moving either faster or slower than you want and aren’t doing anything.

Handcart for roller-coaster!!!!!!

Looks good.

Congrats dude, you just made me buy the game

i realy like how you did this^^

imagine if kan made a spiral with sheds like he did in hyce's world

I think what kAN meant going reverse on that 10% hill is that it is slipping but kinda grips a little enough to slow the train down without actually losing grip then does a burnout of no traction

Well kAN you talk about a mainline like it is some high speed modern corridor. Don't forget that it's the early 1900's narrow gauge railway. They were just "We build trak, and if it works - it works"

I'm pretty sure at the refinery you're forced to build shunting tracks as well. So that'll be fun. Also, I'm fairly sure you wouldn't put an engine shed like how you have. It'd make so much more sense for it to be an extension to the track. Perhaps line up the right shed (when looking at it) to the 'inbound' track, so that the left shed's track could line up with the 'run around' track. This way, whenever the engine has to go out, no matter which shed it's in the turn table will always be aligned to a track.

Hey Kan what about the Trail Makers Sea DLC series, I'd love to see how you'd cope with everything in it because you haven't seen nothing yet

I binge watched your Rail roads Online series

You also could’ve tried having a second curve behind the loading stations. You’d be able to store the cars in one of them, get turned around, then be able to run around the train.

Get a Cimax,and store in the shed with No: 4.

20:00 wait till you see the refinery.

“For realism sake I’m not building a bridge over the iron deposit” he says while going up and down a 10% grade track 😂

turntable everything - The American way us Brits just run a locomotive in reverse because we didn't need to travel 5 miles everywhere we go xD

Cordwood improvement ideaat smelter build a loop line park a Betsy somewhere and use Betsy as shunting And deliver as long cordwood train as possible at 10 percent

17:00 Kan, you should get the climax. It's a lot less tippy. I've been tunning it on tighter turns at full speed and it won't even tip over. 25:12 The smelter is the only industry that takes cordwood.

They might have done that or put a y either or. It really depends on what they had available. And you really should put some passing tracks in between the loading tracks and the structures so a train can be loading while a train is leaving or arriving.

Hey Kan there's a water indicator in the controller on the engine it's self just letting you know

Yay more uploads

I think the devs should add the ability to summon a handcart at any point to go wherever you need for free, and then when you get off, it despawns

cool vid

18:00 The maintenance department would like to have a word with you.

I guess you put the hand cart in the log place engin shed when your out doing cordwood Runs!

Just watched the new co-op episode with Hyce where he introduced the engine Y.

Did they give a reason why they had the cordwood off-center from the iron drop-off? In comparison to all the other industries that is the only one that seems off.

With extensive testing on a new world, I found you can push an empty log car to the logging camp. The heaviest it can push is Porter 1 "Betsy" up a 1% if you have Betsy dumping sand, though you need to give Betsy just a touch of the regulator to get her rolling easier. I've even shifted 5 empty log cars with it. It's funny to see a car with so little tractive effort moving a locomotive or a small line of empties. At full power and with sand help from Betsy, it can move some rather heavy objects. Just don't expect to move fast. Edit: Why didn't you just make a passing siding?

Handcar Go VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

I'd say the line needs some adapting to be less break-melting, cylinder destroying insane graded

OK. So if you don't have to drive it; we NEED to find out how many handcarts would it take to push a loaded rail car!

Realisticly an engine house like that would be connected directly to a wye switch on a separate siding from any other rail equipment

On that one steep down-slope, was there any attempt to engage sanders to combat wheel-slip? (As a viewer it can be hard to tell, since it's controlled by a button rather than a slider.)

You should use handcars in a rollercoaster

You made a mistake with your cordwood parking area, the cars would be left loading wile the engine was switched from one end to the other. you can fix this by adding a switch and linking back to the turn table.

I would have put a switch and turntable after the loading platform, so that you can run up, unhook, and have someone at least start loading the cars while you turn the train around. And have two complete lines on the side (or more if want to store more cars) with one always empty as a bypass line. Oh, and put the turntable after its own switch, so that one can run a train through the bypass without going on the table. ... ... ... It's gets harder and harder to resist this game, watching you built here, but I said to my self to wait for the spline update...

You need to invest into the climax it’s designed for hauling up hill

They really need to change the industries. You can't smelt iron with wood. It doesn't burn hot enough. You have to either turn it into charcoal or use coal.

Id love to see you use the track editor

WOW!

You should have put in a runaround track

he used it for it’s intended purpose, instead of associating it with giant rail towers

Just wait till you get to the refinery to see how tedious the supply shunting is.

hay kan you could use the second shed for the hand cart so people can get it from the shed and not sit on the main line

great vid (2 mins in lol)

question since i never played railroads when you leave the game do you spawn at the frieht depo or where you left cause in the begging your talking about the heisler at the logging camp mean if you spawned there you walked back

Hey Khan I was watching the Creator's video and there is passenger cars coming

I am trying to get into this game but I can't really find any informations on the relation between tractive effor/gradien/cargo load. In one of the videos they talked about a spreadsheet with formulas, does anybody know where to find it?

At the smelter why not just curve a track between the cordwood and the iron? It worked for me so there's no need to back in.

What happens if you try to push one or multiple cars whit a hand car

IF i hear the word perfect one more time ..when none of it is perfect..my heads going to explode ... Also you do not have to shunt that. All you need to do is do a continuous track with a turn between those two unload platforms and use however many porters it takes to pull the cars through and unload them.

Last time I used the hand car it couldn't climb hills to the coal or iron ore mine.

I know you’re covering a lot right now, but if you run out of stuff to do, I think you should check out poly bridge 2

I played a fun game it was called railroad empire and it was fun it was on PS4 and on steam and it's way fun you get steam you get steam engines you get diesel trains get the belt your own railroad line you put tracks you go uphill you go downhill you put tunnels good different countries this is called railroad empire

I asked and the hand car remembering the settings and not stopping is intended.

i think you should give the poor train water

Me when kAN doesn’t upload a video at least once a day: Checks dappers channel… Checks scrapmans channel… *Located the kAN*

Can you ask hyce why they did that with the cordwood?

Hand car has a bug that accelerates infinitely. Hyce showed it in a video. Lol

18:00 it is called backwards friction or something

Now is the handcar faster than runing cause when runing you don't need to follow the track Also too bad that the roundtable doesn't click into a position would make things a lot easier

This game is my favorite game on Kans chanel

Train ramp!!!!!!!!

Kan, PLEASE buy and test the climax loco they are my favourite

Will the Climax Join the Heisler when you get it?

Engine shed with turntable? Where are we, the island of Sodor?

Anyone else think they need to do Handcart Racing down the racetrack? Also doing it on Farma's coaster would be silly

Hey kAN, just so you know, a good setting for the compressor on the engines that have one is 10% because it uses very little steam and still keeps the brake pressure at maximum. Anyway, I love your videos about Railroads Online and Scrap Mechanic, But I don't like your Derail valley playthrough so much, because it gets boring at some point. I hope you will read this comment, and thank you if you do.

Why did the marble World Series where you and dapper take turns stop?
