Dude, you're insane. And I love you for it. Honestly, I'm surprised this thing doesn't have a reputation for smashing caboosen to matchwood whenever it buffers up on the fly. I'm also just a little surprised you didn't just make it a 2-6-8-2; yeah, you need the extra wheels to carry that Wooten firebox, but if you're already going nuts why not make those extra wheels put down even more power? And of course, the Casey Jones boiler tube whistle, just chef's kiss. This thing's gonna pound the whole Shady Valley into the ground, but it will leave a glorious legend. Not least when on some dark and stormy night it's sent to bank an ore train in floodwater conditions, with one of the lead engines blowing a cylinder head halfway up the climb, and still shoving that train over the top just as its boiler blows with the force of half a Hiroshima bomb. Or something like that. Either way, this thing will live and die a legend. It might end up being an AA20 sort of legend, but a legend nonetheless.
Love the creativity behind this, and the rest of shady valley! “There were early concerns that the BARRACUDA would derail and spread the rails like the hated #5, but engine actually proved to have excellent weight distribution, and never caused problems on well-maintained tracks.” “However, there were several questions raised about how the railway was able to afford enough coal to keep #13 in service - none of which got a straight answer out of AJ Wright.”
It also is safer then most camelbacks due to most of the rear cylinders being under the cab instead of the side rods (like on most camelbacks), so if the side rod breaks, the driver won’t be cut two faster then you can say titanic
I love the fact that when Barracuda was coming along it sounded mean and imposing, but when presented with a potential crash it started screaming like a girl. "Get outta my way I'm hauling 40 fully loaded hopper cars." *A wild Doe Valley appeared* "A-"
"do you really need all that power?" I mean, considering the ore trains usually need TWO of the Mikados at the head, then yes, they do need it and the stupidly big camelback mallet makes genuine sense.
Dang a steam siren on a steam locomotive and it’s a narrow gauge camelback. This is certainly a really unique locomotive ever made for Trainz. Nice work
*is this literally a 2-6-6-4 simple articulated superheated camelback? What atrocities have befallen my eyes, I crave a no. 1 to gouge my eyes out now* Yeah the design is practical but *my GOD* This is textbook on what utilitarian means
@@robertbalazslorincz8218 nah, 13 is a rear-end pusher for uphill ore drags, having almost 3 times more pounds of tractive effort than 10, who was already weaker than 11 and pre-wreck 12. 13 almost never actually pulls anything, ain't what she was made for.
I love when railroads have obscenely and unnecessarily large bankers for seemingly no reason. Considering the fact that 3 mikados could do the same as 1 mikado and this, it seems like a very large financial mistake. Oh yeah, HOW DID THEY AFFORD THIS?
This is the engine that could properly work on the old Cog line and run up not breaking a sweat next is going to be a fleet of over the top passenger engines.
Stumbled across your videos by accident but I’m enjoying them immensely! Your engine (which I assume is narrow gauge?) seems very plausible! There were railroads like the Great Northern and Northern Pacific which did experiment with creating their own articulated locomotives, like the 2-6-8-0 series or Southern’s “Poor Man’s Mallets”. Having an automatic stoker would solve the issue of needing a crew member at the firebox door. Also, maybe this engine is fuelled by charcoal, hence why the costs of operating it are so low. Out of curiosity, but what is the weird baggage/caboose/combine car in the consist? I’ve never seen anything like it before!
Thank you! Yeah I tried to make my monster plausible. The combine/caboose hybrid is one of two. They were modified with cupolas to house sharpshooters to fend off against train robbers
Dear ThatRedFokker, Here is the dimensions for an on30 idea I’m currently working on, I think it would be right at home on your shady valley railroad. The dimensions are as follows: 108” diameter boiler,260 psi working pressure, 36” diameter drivers, outside frame,coal fired, a belpair firebox,32”x36” pistons, 2-10-4 wheel arrangement, 105,000 pounds of tractive effort, with a 40’ tender capable of holding 21 tons of coal and 30,000 gallons of water.
@@pennsy6755 In a nutshell, the same year the P-1s debuted on the Erie, Baldwin presented the Grande with the 2-8-8-8-2 design. The diagram presented was almost a direct copy, with the only difference being the cylinders being 2" smaller in diameter. Following the Erie's less than positive feedback, the enthusiasm to purchase said Triplexes left the Rio Grande, and it never materialized.

The steam siren is absolutely crazy and I love it
A.J. Wright really said:
“They said we couldn’t do it,
They said we shouldn’t do it,
They begged us not to do it,
And we did it anyway”
sums up the whole railroad
“In the official ICC report, Shady Valley number 13 (Barracuda) sustained little damage in the collision. However, Shady Valley number 7 (Doe Valley) was damaged beyond repair”.
Moral of the story; don’t mess with the Barracuda…
lol
Only an absolute madman like AJ Wright could design such a crazy engine. The guy even decides to add a steam siren, its fucking glorious 😂
i'm definitly going to clip the "i crave the steam siren." See how many people get confused on discord
You read my mind! 😂

I did it. I got the video clip on my channel. Been spreading it around alittle in rr discords

A homemade 2-6-6-4 out of spare parts having better weight distribution than an overrated 2-8-2 class is the funniest thing ever and that is canon now

I have to say, this is one of very few locomotives that have genuinely frightened me. Great work.

A.J. Wright is at it again I see with his "eccentricity"...
All right, Who gave aj right blue prints!
The narrow gauge bigboy
we can and have gone bigger
**stares at the Plywood and Atlantic**
The Steam Siren is an essential piece of hardware for a locomotive like Barracuda I love it!
I like the locomotive. but like....
gotta love the cupola passenger car
I’m pretty sure AJ Wright is definitely crazy but your models are so beautiful that I’m not gonna lie I can work with his crazy keep up the good work
nah that thing can just go: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Your observation car reminds me of the Polar express observation car very cool
This thing screams Shady Valley/Rio Grande more than 491
So what we can deduce from Barracuda is that it is a being that God himself fears.
I love this design so much, it’s impractical only from a cosmetic standpoint but functionally it would probably work in real life
Dang a steam siren on a steam locomotive and it’s a narrow gauge camelback. This is certainly a really unique locomotive ever made for Trainz. Nice work
As someone who has also unnecessary big engine, I like this.
*is this literally a 2-6-6-4 simple articulated superheated camelback? What atrocities have befallen my eyes, I crave a no. 1 to gouge my eyes out now*

Bro 13 just yelled MOVE on the grade and at 7
Yes, I'd like to order a doven for my line.
I think it can be honestly said that Shady Valley succeeded in spite of it self
the steam siren is nesscery for warning other trains that there train is about to be totated
Never give hard liquid to the crazy explosive fulled hard debt hiding from the government founder of his crazy railroad guy.
AND 13 IS A CAMELBACK
(I love the Camelbacks)
okay now replace the steam siren with the rake scream
