Thanks! It totalled 52 cars of lumber, which was plenty of log runs. It took me a good few hours to load each car and set them up with each locomotive.
Very interesting that the Cooke 2-8-0 seems to do a little sprint (0:45) almost like a "I finally have adhesion!" *eurobeat intensifys* and that sprint separates 2-8-0 from Glenbrook by a solid lead. I daresay the Glenbrook is a solid choice for most of the game.
The glenbrook is quite good. I went straight for it early game skipping the eureka and Montezuma and it does the iron ore run no problem with 8 hoppers. Then got a mosca and run 12 cars lumber up and 8 cars ore down as one consist double heading the glenbrook and mosca.
If the one spread sheet I found is accurate the Glenbrook is the 2nd best engine to buy under the $4000 mark (Class 48 being the best). Really can't go wrong with a fleet of glenbrooks running around.
Well it will take a while to get it, though. The Glenbrook and class 48 are both great late-game engines that aren’t too hard to get early, so I think those would be a better bet to get first.
@@PlentyStyx276 i already managed to grind online with my friend. i bought alot of cars first while he bought the first "big engine" i think the Mosca. and we used his while i saved up 5k. it really does help to have friends lol! class 48 will definitely be my next engine.
Well, I don’t think the handcar would fare well trying to push 4 loaded cars on realistic - it takes multiple handcars to start even 1 empty boxcar on level ground
Strange how a few of the trains had great starts where they quickly pulled ahead, but then suddenly stopped accelerating. And not a gentle slow to the max speed, but what seemed like a sudden stop at what I'm guessing is the top speed for that engine. This let slower accelerating trains build up speed and slowly overtake them.
A good test, thanks for making the effort to set this up

@@PlentyStyx276 The handcart cheated anyways, so glad that you did the setup to make a more fair winner.

nice to know my favorite 2-8-0 got the job done the fastest! definitely going to purchase it first

@@PlentyStyx276 i can't seem to fill the Calls 48 with water for some reason so that fucking sucks
1.Traction Power 0:29〜0:39
2.acceleration 0:39〜0:49
3.high speed 0:49〜(0:59〜1:09〜)1:18〜1:29〜2:09〜2:16
0:03〜0:09 Locomotives with red roofs were slow
I had no idea what engine would win but i for sure knew the one would be placed last... What a SHAYme 🤣
This is good stuff keep it up 👌
Welp the new Meta is You get enough for a Glenbrook, Then you save up for a Big Cooke. This is good to know.
Make the end a 5% grade and then a tall bridge and let the trains fall off the end.
The Connie and C70 are essentially the penultimate road engines (until we get Mudhens)
Taking the handcar out of the mix to make it a fair competition I see.

It was the geared loco. They pull any load up 10% at 5mph
When you fly around like that it just looks like there's a giant John Railroadson racing the trains on foot
Awesome man how about up grades? And or the pulling limit..!👍🏻
Now you have to do it again with the updated physics
cooke 2-8-0 might be the best loco in the game rn, along with the class 48
Class 48 totally OP :D
Can u also race them on different grades of steepness
Can you as DX Guru if the DJ is booked on 939 today?
So is there a DJ on 962 or no?
Shay has a good start but it's low top speed killed it. Good power for it's size but fails to stay with the rest.
Poor Shay being left behind lol
He’s got the best pulling pulling power.
Haha we used to do that with ho. A hundred years ago
Do one on climbing a grade. Just make a super long track that goes up to 10% and see which ones get the farthest.
I think the Cooke 2-8-0 won because it’s physics haven’t been perfected yet
Where's the Tweetsie?
Where is the handcar
Interesting good question
No audio?
i honestly can't wait for them to nerf the porters
speed is nice until your cars decide to yeet themselves 😒
Oh this is real trains 😒 not
