The reason you weren't getting coal in the fire box is because your cross hair wasn't actually in the firebox. The aim of the shovel isn't dependent on the position of the shovel itself. It's actually dependent on the position of your cross hair.
The coal can be shoveled in if the firebox thing shows up in the top left, the tank engine has 3 couplers because it worked on dual gauge rails and moved around standard gauge rolling stock.
cowcatcher on the rear of a tank engine makes sense - many corps would run tanks forward and reverse - tenders were preferred forward for mainline work.
Great job. Looks like that new tank engine is similar to the tank engines on Puffing Billy in Victoria. Would be great if they put the Puffing Billy variant on it, and then also added the Puffing Billy garratt engine.
ET&WNC! East Tennessee & Western North Carolina! A lot of their former grades are now trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sometimes you'll come across old track along the Walnut Falls trail. I think US276 between Waynesville and Brevard, NC also runs along their old grade.
I am a simple man, today as I was chatting on Discord wth my mates, they said the patch was up, so we downloaded it and while everthing released today is excellent, my friends knew and waited for....."WOOOT My train has antlers!!!" And the guys and gals were laffing their ends off at me for they know how simply pleased I can be...Antlers and Whistles FTW baybees, and don't be fooled, there's a killer whistle on that Mason Boogie too....every update is better and better and your shows are too!
Needs brake screeching sound effects when you slam on the brakes at speed. IMO would make it feel a lot more realistic. Still a good update tho. Very glad we got to see some new trains and that whistle is BOSS.
interesting to see the new log cars reduce the price by about 25%factoring in capacity but trade that off with a longer train new coal cars are a worse value as they hold less with similar costs The Boxcar vs stock car are same price, capacity and weight oil cars are a wash in terms of price vs capacity given the 3:2 ratio but they are heavier.
Thanks for the walkthrough. I noticed your bumping into something, causing quite the low pitced sound from dunkin' into the table or something. Hi-pass filter can probably fix it in recordings.
Great video. The new update is good, but why is it so hard to place the coal tower? The tower seems to be mostly off the screen to the left so you can hardly see it and there is no way of knowing how to place it correctly. There really needs to be some sort of track snapping or at least a guide like with the original water tower.
If you look straight down the center of the rails it will place it perfectly. Same as the new water towers except you look straight down standing directly in the center facing the side.
@@gingie5246 Ok thanks, I will try that. And when the tower is level with the ground that's the correct location? The closer to the track the more above ground it seems to go.
@@tmn278 you have to delete to delete the track, place them, then replace the track to get it to sit on the ground. The only problem with them floating is the ladders don’t work.
I must say, the Chungus (that's what the unofficial RO Discord has come to calling the ET&WNC Consolidation) is quite the disappointment considering everyone thought we'd get Mudhens.
I am kind of sad we didn't get the 2-6-6-2 mallet as I thought it was coming out. Maybe later hopefully I'm not sure. I also want to say after much thought the TenMile doesn't make much sense a potentially early game engine. With no way to fuel it early on by the time you are able to actually get coal for it you've most likely moved on to bigger and better engines. Now depending on difficulty settings it certainly can still be useful but for those that want to play with a relatively cheap coal engine early game well it's just not a viable option. Just an observation I am stoked for update and have sampled it already. I do also hope for more industries for our new rolling stock. The stock car just seems pointless right now.
The mason is a very versatile engine, can do a bit of everything. It is basically a class 48 with more fuel, so it definitely has a place, maybe not early in the game when you only have a handful of engines, but later when you have an extensive network and need a versatile engine. I just wish they made the locomotives actually have different operating costs to justify using the smaller engines sometimes.
I seem to vaguely remember reading somewhere that Mason Bogie engines were often used as passenger engines? Maybe that's what it's for- a taster for when passenger trains come in?
@@jorge8596 Oh from what I've seen the Mason Basin is definitely going to be very versatile and by the time you get to those higher tier engines youre probably connected to the coal mine. It's only the TenMile that it's low enough tier and cost that one would love to use and yet it may not be possible early on. As for costs I don't know about having operating costs but for time being some of the engines under 3000 bucks do need to be cheaper given that for their money they really aren't worth using when compared to something like the Glenbrook.
How does this game/simulator compare to Derail Valley? If you were going to buy just one game which one would it be? To be honest the hopping train guys look kinda weird, but the trains and scenery look amazing.
i love the new update but the new switch is broken af. the leaver is going into the wrong direction and it doesn't autoswitch if you drive on it from the wrong direction. also one of the links is misaligned and get's the train to derail if you are unlucky
I did notice the switching handle pointing to the wrong direction and was thinking if this would be “historically accurate” or if the railroaders back in the days figured out a mechanism to switch and point in the right direction…
@@RobiBue it seems that i was wrong with the first part of my comment. hyce said in his last livestream that the leaver is right the way it is but there are other problems with it like that the moving rail part is way too thick and that many guides and other details are missing. he sadly didn't try to connect other rails to it so he didn't see the broken spline connection on the right outgoing side. hyce was really dissapointed with many of the things in the update.
The new update isn't bad, but you can really see the drop in quality since the devs pushed out their connection to actual American narrow gauge RR's. With out their support and input there are so many poor details. I was honestly hoping to see way more quality of life improvements then there were.
There’s so much wrong with this update that I’m trying to understand why they waited to do QC. Blue trains and another 2-8-0 Cooke that doesn’t look like the one they remodeled. A joke.
I wonder if with the new 2-8-0, if you get two will the knuckle couplers actually work or do you have to put a link in between so the knuckle is just visual
they are knuckle couplers with adapters for link and pin. you still have to do the link and pin stuff just like real life. If there was other knuckle coupler stuff than it could be automatic.
Please for the love of God somebody tell the developers of this game for some locomotives that are Rod engines with walschaerts valve gear and five chime whistle please
Yes they do. You have to spot it on the grate. On the opposite side of the tower the yellow unload arrow will show up and just unload it. It will fill the grate, then move the coal up to the storage bin. Unloading into a tender is a real PITA, good luck.
The reason you weren't getting coal in the fire box is because your cross hair wasn't actually in the firebox. The aim of the shovel isn't dependent on the position of the shovel itself. It's actually dependent on the position of your cross hair.
This upate is so much nicer than most updates for RRO.
you have got to put your cross hair in the fire door for it to work. at least thats what worked for me
The coal can be shoveled in if the firebox thing shows up in the top left, the tank engine has 3 couplers because it worked on dual gauge rails and moved around standard gauge rolling stock.
Loving the new whistles! All I want now is the option to replace the cowcatchers with a more flat pilot on all the locos
My favorite is the red crayon locomotive! Im so glad the game is on sale so all the people that cant afford such a good game can finally!

i am so happy with the new update, hope we get a nice roundhouse soon

I can confirm through firsthand experience the old hoppers WILL fill a coal chute, since the new ones don't even belly dump.
confirmed both dump over the rail 👍

thanks. This one was sure a bigger update with much more in it. good to see
I'm at school, so your video was the equivalent of me expiring it
Finally, a valve gear similar to walschaertz and baker.
Love the new update much more than I was expecting
Also the Old engine shed just has post no walls
Might have to get the 2-8-0 tender engine and the 2-8-0 tank engine.
This update is awesome! I love that 5 chime!
I think two of those ruby basin liveries are based off the Puffing Billy railway liveries
I think so
The PBR liveries (green and red) are the original Baldwin works liveries, only the plain black NAs are true VR colours.
@@billyp4850 Oh right
So funny. Lots of useful info and real experience
That oil slick… Diesel Creek would say, “Come with me, and you’ll see the WORLD of OSHA Violations!”
Personally, I really like antlers on my headlights.
Wish they were on every engine
Interesting option I guess I didn’t know it was really a thing before this but since it was it’s kinda cool to see in the game😊

We got the coal update I wonder if they'll do a diesel update next.
You have to aim inside the firebox hole for the coal to be shoveled.
I must say, the Chungus (that's what the unofficial RO Discord has come to calling the ET&WNC Consolidation) is quite the disappointment considering everyone thought we'd get Mudhens.
its great to have and update but still a couple bugs in the update unless i doing it wrong
I really love the new ET&NWC loco, but the wrong whistle and lack of reverb on it hurts me
nope belly dump still tosses over the side, and the old hopper cars will fill the coal tower
coffin tanker only holds 8, while the old tanker holds 12
That's so ridiculous...
Now *that* stinks!
I’ll be fun watching team Hyce loose their collective brain cells.

My guess is it is used for shunting carts at the shunt depo

The spark arrest are you showcased on the Mason bogey It's called a Ridgeway spark arrester
Can we hear the whistle of each new locomotive? My favorite so far is the Green Bean number 8 style wise so far.
the whistle on that one is pretty cool

R u gonna make another video today with a new locomotive
probably not today tomorrow after I have a longer chance to look at things
Maybe need a quiet a bit of coal?

To annoy everyone that loaded existing hoppers with coal to fill the tower they do not work with it, anyone else not working?
Yes they do. You have to spot it on the grate. On the opposite side of the tower the yellow unload arrow will show up and just unload it. It will fill the grate, then move the coal up to the storage bin. Unloading into a tender is a real PITA, good luck.
@Tex-Hogger I had them dead center and it wouldn't unload at all 🤷♂️
This sucks where's the Uinta railway engine
not yet its to new
@@AardvarkGames-YT when does the Uintah Railway-engine come out
@@ironhorsethrottlemaster5202 I would think as we get closer to the time frame it came from most of our locos are still 1900ish or earlier
