fun British train fact for today: in Britain, locos continued to be painted in bright intricate liveries until the end of steam. Especially in early days, many coats were applied to get the colour perfectly vibrant and shiny. A great example is GER blue, which is composed of a french grey undercoat and the ultramarine blue was heavily thinned with varnish and applied in many coats, giving a much lighter and brighter finish than just 1 thick coat. They same is true for many other shades like GNR/LNER Apple Green, MR/LMS Crimson Lake, and even coaches took 21 days to varnish, but they shine like gold!
Well some engines were, My local shed's freight engines were more rust than paint in 1967 but passenger engines that passed through at the same time looked brand new.
Meanwhile on the opposite end of the railroad the mainline was having its own issues with a new driver and a god and country sized freight train. (Thanks dispatch for that. And sorry jersey i didnt get the memo of passing you first. I never saw that message)
Honestly, a LIME green passenger train sounds perfect for the ES&DT. Alternately, make it green and magenta, any shade, and call it the "Northern Lights". Oooooh, Amherst! I can't make it this year, but I went last year, so I am certain you are going to enjoy it.
37:45 as far as I’m aware the PS2 hoppers originally weren’t sent to interchange but Nantahala Talc & Limestone was updated to use them for talc a while ago. There is a mod for a three bay PS2 hopper, however.
To quote Antimatter: we lost more money in the course of 4 hours than the Lehman Brothers lost IN AN ENTIRE WEEK, and is a worse bankruptcy than the one that caused the Great Recession. The SD&S claims no responsibility for the results of this day.
When I'm doing dumb things in this game (ex: dutch drop at 18:00), I find it to be much easier to click the coupler by having the cam focused on the train, rather than using the fly cam. You can move backwards/forwards on the train with Shift+9/0, so all you have to do is hit the coupler, no need to move the cam around as well.
Or you can follow the car the you need to drop, and then click the coupler that way, but thanks for the tip. And also installing a map mod makes the cars load in, so you don't have to keep hitting tab all the time to see where they go.
Seeing the 'Brickline' cars now has me wanting a lego train simulator would pretty much just be this game but everything is made of legos and depending on how bad a collision or derailment is you could find yourself standing next to a pile of lego bricks which was once your train.
Mark, those aren't the PS-2s. The PS-2 is a three bay covered hopper that's a mod. I actually know about this one, because my grandfather helped build them back in the day.
You should get the Sylva Interchange yard that makes it 7 tracks, provides a Coal, Diesel, and Parts storage so you don't have to keep waiting a day for supplies.
Somehow things went from going poorly to completely fucked in less than 2 hours. OH and the west end of the railroad was a nightmare to dispatch with the express freight and gods heaviest freight meeting in nanta
All aboard the 08:30 FPS Express! Calling at Switch-Smashington, Redboardsburg, and Network Downs. Please have your boarding passes ready to be checked by the Macaw!
You need to go check out the lake shore railway museum in Erie County. Lots of interesting stuff. Including a fireless steam engine and one of the big joes
You probably should just dump the cars arriving at the Sylva interchange into the Dillboro yard and then sort them out there. Moves them out of the way of the Sylva switchers, makes the switching itself easier and keeps the mainline cleaner
Just had to make sure you had class 1 level debt lol. Glad you enjoyed the mod though! I have a fun new one in the works soon, as well as a potential update for the express freight 😉
See you at the train show! Whereabouts will you be hanging around there? It's nice to have something fun to look forward to, especially as me and my girlfriend are emotionally recovering from the passing of her dear grandfather just this past weekend. He died after a really nasty battle with stage 4 throat cancer. I've also got an important interview I'm stressing over this week too, so I really want to escape into train world come Saturday. It's funny to me every time you say you'll be in Amherst. Amherst is 30min away from West Springfield, where the "Amherst Railway Societies Railroad Hobby Show" always is. I've been there many times, since I was very little, but until this year I never even realized it's got "Amherst" in the name, as my Dad always called it the "big train show in Springfield."
It seems to be known by many names! I am not sure where I will be - I'll probably post a few times in discord about where I'm at during the weekend. So sorry to hear about your girlfriend's grandpa - that is always a hard time.
For context, if the money is 1930s/40s dollars, your little railroad went into debt a quarter of the amount the U.S. spent on the 1940 Two Ocean Navy Act, or about $229 billion dollars today. 😦 (per the MeasuringWorth formula, not the less accurate inflation one).
Depends on how you feel it would work out. In my save, the 4 am interchange works out very well, as I prefer arranging the cars I get early and delivering them as early as I can.
Hey Mark. Any chance you could list the mods you use on the ES&DT in the description? Particularly the one's that work on the experimental branch of the game. I don't see myself being able to join you and the guys on a session, but I do have a hard time finding mods that'll work on the experimental branch, as the community on nexus who upload mods for the game, aren't exactly good about clarifying what version the mod will work on. I'll be playing this game in a few minutes as of this comment.
ngl that Berkshire ended up resembling one of those british 4-6-0s, imo? no offense- done the Sylva-Andrews run in 1 hour 40 minutes before the covered hoppers should go to Nantahala Talc and Limestone T2, iirc
You play with blocked interchanges, stop complaining :p 37:33 Also you can gravity drop from Sylva interchange into the paperboard and spot all but the PW1 cars, end up with everything else on the through siding, and then drag the whole shebang to Dills for convenient marshalling with five instead of three tracks, and one less destination.

And Swindon locos always had a copper capped chimney. ;)
@@Electricfox so did the Great Eastern, and even the LNER for Flying Scotsman at wembley.
@@Electricfoxwait if they had copper capped stacks why didn’t duck get one wasn’t he built/worked at Swindon once?

It was funny that Hyce asked why did they have so many Repair Boxcars, then gets run into 10 seconds later lol.
It's funny because Hyce himself ordered those boxcars approx. 3 episodes ago lol
The "I'm standing next to a huge wee-wee" is always amusing.
Isn’t that from a Hyce YTP?

Please help us Mr. John Doe. Things have gone EXTRA poorly!
Right, and I the king of England
@@dramaticgecko2i'm working on getting a government bailout and some contracts to deal with it.
I just automatically blamed you for even saying that
Mark, thank you a ton for shaking my hand and saying hello at Amherst today. Meeting Leighton and yourself was the highlight of the show for me!
The 2 bay covered hoppers only begin to appear once you have unlocked west of Fontana bridge to Nantahala.

Nah, just up the express freight bonus and you'll have it back by next session
2 Billion in debt?? WTF Hyce 😂 The ES&DT really Kenosha'd. Btw awesome Episode, love it ❤😁👍

The 2 bay covered hoppers are used at Nantahala Talc and Limestone either t1 or t2

The Green passenger cars could pay homage to the NEB&W model railroad that was in Troy, NY
2:26 “ we got cross traffic to work” they did not in fact
I mean, it worked, just a little too well (it payed out so much it had an int overflow)
21:54 I've had the same issue in singleplayer with that engine.
YOU WERE AT AMHERST! Wish I could've met you!

be aware that I think the update added a Grain supplier to the industry list for servicing.
John Doe was very angry this day and you got all of your past present and future ES&DT debt
You probably should just dump the cars arriving at the Sylva interchange into the Dillboro yard and then sort them out there. Moves them out of the way of the Sylva switchers, makes the switching itself easier and keeps the mainline cleaner
You need the Silva hump yard mod

seems like you might now know: clicking "I" and going to the Location tab directly opens the location nearby (if any)
QUESTION : Are the industries animated? Like when you load coal do you see the coal pouring down into the railcar?
Woah, did not realize you were coming all the way east for the ARS show. Would be cool to run into you!
Thank god, it was just a bug😂 I thaught you actually were in 2 billion dollars of in-game debt!
For context, if the money is 1930s/40s dollars, your little railroad went into debt a quarter of the amount the U.S. spent on the 1940 Two Ocean Navy Act, or about $229 billion dollars today. 😦

What did you say, Hyce? I could barely hear you over Kenosha playing...
@1:01:36, you do know that you can shift click the valves, right Hyce?😅
Wye is love... Wye is life...
Have you considered painting the rest of your locos blue, and changing the name to Conrail ?
Or go sky blue (#0075AC) with white letters (#FFFFFF) and change the name to Poor Southern (the opposite of the Great Northern lol)
Is the 3/4 show coming back again this year?
The only reason 9 struggled to get out of Sylva was because lag caused the flying switch to fail
did he say Amherst and Springfield? as in the towns in MA?
Hey hyce do u know how to disable mods bc some of mine are like bugged out missing tracks and stuff
would it be a good time yet to restart

As long as they end up running their passenger trains during rush hour
I use the Silent Hill cheat by playing in fog. Saves some fps.

U should Reakt to the Brocken Bahn it’s a narrow railway that runs steam daily
two days late but you need the Bullhead's Railway Express Agency mod it adds the express mail
So Penn Central?
Heya hyce, NS here, just wanted to let you know, I joined ya discord

Well at least Andrews got its repair parts

Casually 2 billion in debt...
Hey Hyce can you make a k 37 video while you run the train
Why this wye be big enough for a whole medium sized freight train 🤔?
Indeed it’s fun to crash, but please not in my yard😭
