    This is unscripted (like all my videos) so is a little rough. It also just barely scratches the surface of what you can do in Run 8. Let me know in the comments if there's an area you would like me to focus on in a future video. Happy railroading!
    Edit: adding some helpful links

    Great video. Well done at a good pace. I've watched a lot of YT videos on Run8, and I've never got a good explanation about locals, tags, and how that whole processing thing works. Actually, didn't even know that it was an auto thing in game.

      I'm glad I could fill in some of the knowledge gaps. It's a complex sim and I'm still learning after several years of playing.

    I probably won't ever play run 8 but I enjoy the video. I think understanding how and why you do each step makes watching more complete. Thanks!

    Thank you for this - I ve been fumbling my way through Run8 for many months now - as I'm based in the UK trying to understand yard movements is tough going. Any assistance via a tutorial video on Yard work and understanding the map/dispatcher menu would also be really useful. Thank you as always for the amazing content

    Bought Run 8 recently. Would have been easier to get started with your video. I think people will appreciate it. The thing I'm struggling with now is to find trains to run that make sense. I don't want to arbitrarily spawn rail cars and deliver them to a nearby industry. I saw you run local trains a few times and that looks all well, but I'm not clear at all on how you chose them, how you found or spawned them, where, etc. A video on finding and selecting realistic 'jobs' would be the one I need :)

    • @KerboOnYT
      @KerboOnYT  25 дней назад

      Spoiler alert, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to real life rail operations. :D I start with a world by someone who does and go from there. I mostly get my info about locals and industries from the excellent resources over on The Depot Server's website www.thedepotserver.com/. For SoCal I started with this world save: www.thedepotserver.com/forums/threads/a-very-populated-socal-v3-download.12064/

    Thanks for the video. I own all the routes and rolling stock. I can't seem to figure out how to get into multiplayer, or anyone interested in actually playing the sim with me. All the younger people aren't interested in the low graphics. Because i get so confused with tagging, I just plop a train down and run for awhile.

    Thanks Kerbo! Only recently started with Run 8, so this video is very helpful and I learnt quite a bit. There is such a weight of things to learn and know so hope you can make other videos of the basics sometime. If those empty box cars were taken back to the yard, what happens to them then? If they have an onward destination, do they automatically go to that destination in another train? Or do they just stay in the yard until the player does something like makes another train and takes it to that destination?

    • @KerboOnYT
      @KerboOnYT  25 дней назад +1

      Nothing happens to the cars unless a player makes it happen. You can make up a train and send it off or do whatever you want. AI controlled trains will drive forward based on switch alignment and signals and that's it. Everything else is up to the player(s). Thanks for watching!

    • @tmn278
      @tmn278 25 дней назад +1

      @@KerboOnYT Thanks for the info. So the player would make up a train and then either drive it or somehow set up AI to drive it. Thanks again.

    Very good tutorial, thanks... if someone comes up with sort of jobs to do list with payment or reward when they are completed etc. then that would add to this game immensely, even if it was a separate program... and a program that does not have to be online to use it (like so many games these days) would be nice as well.
