The 'pumpy thing' for those who actually need it defined, is a railway handcar, the kind of thing you'll often see in cartoons and movies where one or two operators will make it move by operating the pump in the middle. They were phased out long ago by electric variants, but many are still preserved today.

I know this is way late and stuff, but the description of dynamic brakes was completely wrong.

I had to keep pausing the episode because I couldn't stop laughing. Really going to miss Citation Needed, but as long as you keep doing more games with the TechDif crew, I'll be happy : ) (I have in fact listened to your whole back-catalogue of Podcasts, and seen the experimental games on the Matt and Tom channel, all great stuff!)

Trains actually do, well at least did, have tires. The outer ring of the wheel on a steam engine’s driver was replaceable. They’d disconnect it from the driving gear, heat it, and the whole ring would just pop off.

"At no point is this Thomas and the train will stop for not having a driver." Gary, what is your syntax.

Tom: "What's the practical solution for runaway train?" Gary: "Get one of those little carts..." Tom: "Here we go..." _Chris laughs in the background_ I love how they just know when Gary has one of his crazy ideas.

I'm glad that it was 20 years ago. Airlines learned to never reuse scavenged parts. Eastern flight 401 landed in the Everglades. There were fatalities; but a lot of the parts were reused. Eastern had to later track down and remove those parts. Every plane with them were getting visits from the deceased flight crew of Flight 401. Mentour Pilot YT channel has done Halloween episodes about it.

+Tom Scott I've watched Unstoppable. The train in the movie (instead of being CSX 888) was AWVR 777, carrying a toxic chemical substance used in the manufacture of solvents and adhesives. As soon as it was said that it had a movie made about it, I instantly thought of Unstoppable.

I'm guessing here, but I would assume they built scaffolding, pushed it upwards slowly, and rebuilt the foundation.
