This week, we learn more Cog-isms from Dusty's friend Jimmy, from the Cog! Merch: hyce.creator-s... Join my discord: / discord Become an ES&D Train Crew Member and get extra perks! / @hyce777
Sausage egg thing Leighton was confusing was probably 'Toad in the hole' which is sausages in a waffle batter. Bubble and squeak is croquettes made of potatoes and vegetable leftovers from a traditional Sunday roast
Lawrie and Hyce collab. What chaos will they cause? Would be interesting to see a Lawrie explaining the history of the Rio Grande Southern with a Galloping Goose.
Obligatory Bri'ish correction: From Wiki: Bubble and squeak is a British dish made from cooked potatoes and cabbage, mixed together and fried. In the real world, it's basically the non-meat leftovers from Sunday Lunch all smashed together, extra potato added if necessary, reheated and served with the leftover gravy, watered down to make it stretch, plus whatever meat you happen to have handy.
"We have a K in captivity...and I think she's figured it out." if 346 ever gets to visit somewhere, I suspect she'll be really, really mad though, lol. I mean 20 already got to leave.
Another little fun fact. Some coasters feature an electro magnetic that rolls along a powered strip on the lift hill that keeps the pawls raised to keep NIMBYs quiet. If the rate of speed slows, the electro magnet drops the pawls.
I'd love to see hyce and lawrie do an exchange program, hyce figuring out how to drive a locomotive from the wrong side of the cab, and lawrie learning how to use knuckle couplers.
I've driven a traction engine, and it was a lot of fun. All you really need to do to drive them (provided your fireman is keeping the fire going enough) is make sure the clutch is engaged (Yes they have a clutch, it lets you spin the flywheel without moving the engine, and if you loop a belt over said flywheel, you can run a threshing machine or something), put the johnson bar in the corner, and open the throttle all the way. From there you only really need to worry about steering, and you need a ton of steering input to make the wheels turn remotely far. Their ride quality is also absolutely atrocious, and they're way to slow for their own good, the one I drove tops out at 2.4 mph, though apparently most British traction engines can do 5-6 mph.
Leighton is real easy to bust in a lie... Brett however is a different story as he doesn't show the same cues. Jimmy is the middle of the pack if he can hold his "poker face" :D
The ffestiniog and maybe other railways in North Wales also had things called ratchet brakes used on gravity trains where the ratchet was used to set the amount of brake applied on the car using a handle a bit like a reverser/Johnson bar attached to the side of the waggon
i want y'all to know i dreamed you put on a live show and i somehow managed to attend despite being in entirely the wrong country on entirely the wrong continent
Chauldron does kinda have the double meaning of referring to old fashion British ore cars (not nessisarly coal, but most commonly coal). Fun fact: back in the old days the railroads were taxed 'per Chauldron' and as a result a Chauldron grew from 1 ton flat to 2.97 tons before British authorities caught on.
On the topic of ratchet brakes, I am part of a team working on something equipped with one. Or, it was, it needs restoring and the three-four different brakes it had are part of that.
Fun fact/expansion upon the Chaudron piece: Chaudron (because of it's former use as a volumetric measurement for them) is also British slang for very old fashion ore cars. For the record, a Chaudron's weight actually was somewhat subject to change over the years (because originally the railroads were taxed 'per Chauldron' and found a temporary loophole in it) but it comes out to 2.97 tons (5940lbs)
Bubbles and squeak (south wales version because areas of the uk can't do stuff the same) is basically your Sunday roast veg left overs chopped up mixed and sort of mashed and you then spread it out and pack it in a frying pan 7/16" ish thick and fry till browned on both sided and then serve with left over meat and ketchup or brown sauce or cranberry
Just watched another rail fan video and now I have a suggestion for a railroad to visit. The Bayside Canadian Railway. The ridiculousness of it sounds up your alley. Lol
Lawrie is planning a trip to the states next year I think he said in reply to a comment I made on one of his last videos wishing for an American version of him
Best way to learn obscure RR facts and have fun at the same time. Jimmy is good. How well does he play poker. In fact, it would be interesting to see 3/4 of an idiot play poker.
Hey Hyce great video man hey sorry about the emails hope your doing well and I can’t wait to see more of those they are so good I want MOOORE with Moore ORRRRE LOL. 😊
9:45 speaking of Ohio, I've been saying on RU-vid about to deadly train derailment the erupted into flames, and some bright dummy thought it's leaking and I need to empty the derailed tank cars full of hazmat - flammable and empty it to the said fire
Yup! "Uncle Bob". He founded the Colorado railroad museum with Cornelius W. Hauck. Corny bought the 318 so his name is on 318. Bob bought 346 so his name is on 346.
The modern stuff doesn't have this anymore as the rollback protection is handled by the computer now. Our new Hm4/4 units are setup to hold in place with the motors until both brake sets are released. If you somehow manage to move more than 20cm in the wrong direction, you get an emergency brake penalty. Swiss regulation book has a whole page on how it all should work if not using a mechanical system.
You folks ab-so-LOOT-ly don''t read enough classic literature! Samuel Pepys mentions coal by the chauldron in the famous Diary, sometimes to say that he's buying it in quantities of ten chauldrons (1661), other times (1667) to complain of the high price of 23 _s._ per chauldron. The weight of a chauldron of coal varied over time, from a ton to a ton and a half, because it was a measure by volume rather than by weight.
Hey Leighton, was that crazy railroad crane that was owned by a logging railroad that you talked about in a previous 2 of these people are lying video actually real? Because if it is, I need to do some research on it.
After you get a chance to run a Huber do yourself a favor a and run something else as well, it’d be great if you didn’t end up with a poor opinion of traction engines!
Haha. You critique the literacy of 1920s United States and joke that we had learned to spell by then but I would like offer food for thought. The U.S. Constitution and particularly the bill of rights was written in a manner that the average American could and should be able to read and understand. Take a perusal through this document and I think you will find the implication that the “average American”’ spelling and reading comprehension would have been excellent. Once upon a time at least. But in fairness the potato famine, war with Mexico, Louisiana purchase, California Gold rush, some other world changing events that I know I’m forgetting but Jesus look at what I already listed, it would be weirder if America didn’t take a hit to it’s spelling and reading comprehension. …of course that doesn’t excuse the people of today who pretend they can’t read the second amendment.
The average American overall, or the average American who could vote and participate in political life at the time? Because those're two very different things.
@@catfish552 Hmmm. Good point. That is two very different things. Land owners could vote due to the known stake in the nation and the Land deed filling the role of an Identification card. I feel I can generally stand by my words due to early America being a merchant society and placing an emphasis on contract comprehension and thorough maintenance of accounting ledgers. I say with certainty that early America was far better educated than it is given credit for. This is evident in every colonial American town that can still be visited today. Skilled metallurgist, carpenters, tool makers, sailors, ship wrights, paper makers, tannery operators, etc were common place. These are skilled labor industries and in early America they were the rule not the exception.
