- You've got your Sifa, you've got your PZB, your AFB, your DSD, AWS, ABS, CBS, ITV2 and Hulu. Often forgotten among these vital elements of rail safety is the humble emergency brake. Always there if you need it, and sometimes when you don't. Ready to spring into action and save you almost 50 points when you're about to overshoot a station.
On the new Hamburg Lübeck route for Train Sim World 2, I'm going to put the emergency brake through its paces on the DB BR 112.1 and see how this humble lifesaver is the hero we all need. And deserve.
***********
Behold! While some may describe this section of the video as the link graveyard, I offer you treasures, delights and mischief. This section of the description rarely changes, except when it does (*).
Okay, that's a total lie, it's a link graveyard. It is however delivered with the kind of panache you have come to expect.
Why is any of this interesting? Because I try to make the nonsense that occurs behind each of these links worth your while. You can trust me. No reason is offered why you can trust me, just know that you can.
Let's do the commercial gubbins first. Anything you procure from the below will help out the channel, although I might spend some of the kickbacks I get on "projects". If any of these projects see the light of day, you'll be the first to know.
Would you like a personal video? Maybe you fancy sponsoring the outro, sending a birthday message, life tips or buying a video? Get yourself to the Wisio! www.wisio.com/...
Perchance you would care for some merchandise? Only the very best will do for the Colonel's table! freshmerch.fm/...
If you'd like to support the channel and get some rather magical bonus videos, access to the lunacy of the Discord channel and more offers to play games than sticks should be shaken at. More importantly you'll be part of the last emergency service - The Fail Brigade. Zesty! Two ways to get with the program-
Option 1 (several different tiers available): Patreon - / colonelfailure
Option 2 (one size-fits all): RUclips - www.youtube.co...
Last but not least, if you want to know my current "rig" (that's what we young people call it) consists of visit the ole Amazon storefront where I will tempt you with things, all of which I do not regret using my own personal pocket money on: www.amazon.co....
Let us move on from tales of commerce to things more fun-loving.
Do you want to follow a Twitter account that is actually cheerful? Not in the kind of way that offers life-affirming, inspirational text with a waterfall in the background, but in a jolly, acerbic kind of way? Follow me on Twitter. That's what I do. I almost never shill my latest video entertainment. / cnlfailure
Do you want to know what videos are coming up each week? A few people do. I don't always get around to publishing the schedule, but when I do, I do it on Facebook. Not sure why I chose Facebook, but there you are. / cnlfailure
Okay, you've made it. You clicked at least two links, now get your reward.
(*) - Today's secret: With any new route I try to record a gameplay session and submit it to video. You know this. Gone, however, are the days where I drive accidentally badly - it still happens, but it's far less common than it used to be. Unforced errors are good, faking errors is bad. Instead I need to conjure an angle with which we can have some fun with a new route that isn't "normal" - anyone can do normal.
I can only admire the sheer scientific rigour displayed at 07:12 in conducting a double blind test.
Okay, we have our winner.
Beautiful.
Important safe training lesson No 72: Keep far away from the colonel when has found a train
Today on "things you'll never hear on a German train announcement":
"Ich been had made a cock-up."
"good afternoon lady's and gents, my name is Colonel Failure and I will be your driver today" Everyone runs for the door...
I've been to the Minataur Wunderland and it's bloody epic. No matter how many videos you watch it can't compare to seeing a model setup that goes up/ down 2-3 floors.
On it's popularity. You turn up, you buy your ticket and you wait for your time. How long will that be, who knows, depends how many people turned up before you and how long they take to get around ( there's an upper limit on how many people can be in the exhibit at a time). Most places have a cafe at the end of the experience. Not here. No they have several cafes/ restaurants in the waiting area so you may furnish them with money and they can give you pretzels and schnitzels and things and indeed stuff. But will I have enough time eat all my fare you ask? Yes you will I assure you coz it takes an age to get in normally.
Oh and in line with the rest of Hamburg ( for reasons i'm still yet to establish) they do a great line in rubber ducks in the shop. Coz why not eh
I appreciate that Minotaur Wunderland is a typo, but I'd visit that too.
@@colonelfailure Doh haha
CF at his best on the commentary. Already rolling on the floor before I learnt Wolfgang owes him a Euro....
this is like watching Winter Olympics Curling event except instead of the polished stone it's a train and the emergency brake is those crazy guys with the little brooms just scrubbing their little hearts out.
Oh. That train line was my daily commute back before I moved to Leipzig. So many fond memorys.
Do your memories include testing how late can you break to stop in Hasslebrook though? because you might have been missing out!
@@ctx4241 No, but I once had to abandon train inbetween Ahrensburg and Rahlstedt due to a suicide and walk home thouhg a swamp so that was fun.
@@civishamburgum1234 well, that took a dark turn.
That’s right, Star Wars. 🤣
While I thought it was a fish related movie theme, shows I know nothing.
We are going to need a bigger constitution
I never realised before now, the blind is very well named. Also, I would say wipers on in broad daylight with the blinds down is about as far from Moggy-Approved wipers as you can get. Also, I would say that regular brake testing is very important. Those brakes evidently come up to normal standards but not emergency “oh goodness who let the Colonel get his hands on another train” standards.
Go MOOGY!!🎉🇬🇧🇬🇧
Was I the only one who thought it was Transport Fever 2 the first couple of seconds into the video? Also it is international Hamburger Day, (28th May) So quite appropriate to start the journey from Hamburg, Germany. As the term 'hamburger' originally derived from Hamburg the city.
This is an instant classic. I'm in literal tears. Thank you for this.
I came here straight from the last Train Sim video and I'm curious to see if this is actually the greatest train Sim video in the history of train Sim videos as advertised.
Edit: okay, train curling is pretty good.
And the famous movie theme gag is one of your best.
Superb! The random de-railments are very interesting, I am guessing it is one of the rear cars falling off, would be interesting to do the test again with the external rear camera on.
Two things:
1) Seems like everyone owes The Colonel 10 of something
2) I'd bet that all those derailings were the game saying "This woulda been a perfect run, but not today, mate!"
It actually felt that way. I was wondering whether the optimum path was the one that lead to a derail.
I hope, nobody tells him that the emergency brake can be applied immediately by pressing backspace.
I love that the reaction was jubilant, as though you'd managed it on the first try 😂 Also, bravo for demonstrating the actual safety measures that protect us from lunatics
Maybe the emergency break button got deactivated with one of the automatic safety systems you deactivated. although I have some doubts it would be possible to deactivate an emergency red button in any way.
This should be a gameshow on tv
Half-formal argument why the Colonel will never get braking perfectly right. TL;DR at the end.
I had a similar idea with braking in other games, but this can be applied to Train Simulator as well. This is also related to the suicide burn timing for rockets (in Kerbal Space Program).
The issue with slamming the emergency-brake (or general non-adaptive braking) is that you have to have a really good timing.
For the following calculation, lets assume that the braking distance is the same, no matter, when you start braking.
This means that if you apply the emergency-brake at some point in time, you will have a certain braking distance, so if you brake 10m later, you will stop 10m later as well, except that you travel these 10m before braking within a fraction of a second. If you apply the emergency-brake one second later when doing 140km/h, you will have the same braking distance, but you will have traveled 140km/h*1s=~39m in that time, meaning you stop 39 meters further than in the first attempt. This means that the same time error you make when applying the brakes gets amplified, the faster you travel.
To stop within a space tolerance of 10m, the time-window of hitting the emergency-brake is 10m/(140km/h)=~257ms.
As the Colonel has proved in this (and in other videos) that his reaction time is worse than that of a snail, assuming he can hit the emergency-brake within a time window of 257ms is unrealistic, meaning he will fail stopping within 10m of his target.
TL:DR: The time window for stopping precisely gets smaller, the faster you travel. He won't be able to stop within 10m, as that would mean a precision of slamming the brakes of about a quarter of a second.
Zimply Ze Bestest, oh that was alot of fun, all the laughs, I was in minatur wonderland a couple of years back-great spot, well worth a visit, their youtube channel is great fun.
Genius as always Colonel. Thank you very much, sah!
It's like a train wreck. It's terrible, but you can't stop watching.
I picked a good night to take up drinking again. You've got me belly laughing after a drink or five... who knows how much it actually is when you've got ice in it?
Fluids and E-lympics FTW!
Taking the editing up 3 Notches. I love it.
A masterful editing of a menagerie of mayhem.... If this doesn't get the simulator purists in a tizzy, I don't know what will.
Colonel Failure vs Service Failure.... ROFL!
You may have stumbled upon the secret formula to finding this amusing.
The first test was invalid, you only did 130 when you started breaking.
'Star Wars?' I thought it was, 'The Exorcist.'
Thst big red button is actually the ejector seat.
Okee I know it's a simulator but this was nerve-wracking AF with the blinds down...
Well done!
*Now do this for the rest of the stops ;)))*
21:30 😂😂😂😂 and yes I watch it because I enjoy it.
This is the 10.52 service to your demise 😂
If Hasselbrook is your Final Destination...
'Fluent, fluid, fluent, covered in flui-'
Why does this feel like Groundhog Day?
Once I was pulling into a station at 40 not realising there was a buffer at the end I slammed all breaks and made it by an inch! But my x box wouldn’t capture it 😭
That's called "skill". Your Xbox letting you down is a travesty.
@@colonelfailure hey bit of an odd request but since it’s on offer is it possible to buy the class 465 without the southeastern high speed?
@@liftsfromleeds89 You appear to be crossing the streams... (please don't - I try to keep the two entities separate).
Anyway, yes you can but you'll only be able to use it with the scenario planner.
You can use the full service brake about 1km from the platform
That's further than 620 meters out, so clearly inferior. Also "about 1km" doesn't sound like it's been rigourously tested.
@@colonelfailure Nice. Goin for maximum efficiency then...
Colonel has grown up enough to try suicide braking. I'm so proud of him.
Wrong is the right way to enjoy some Colonel time!
Psst! Minor changes in speed affect the braking distance exponentially
Not if your speed is constant
@@StuntpilootStef My point was that the attempts didn't have exactly the same speed. But this is obviously supposed to be light entertainment, not a peer reviewed experiment 😋
@@antonteponainen6417 I know it's all fun and games.
But just for the record, if you're talking about speed in relation to braking distance, you're right. Double the speed, quadruple the braking distance. In this case, it's just that our good friend the Colonel, bless him, has terrible timing.
Brake the train and break the game in only a couple of button pushes with Colonel Failure.
never the same test twice of course, one time close to 150, next time 137...you stopped using the target speed for some reason after the first run.
1 , 2 , Red , Blue .... That's a purple one, isn't it? Hmmm... it does look like it now that you mention it. So where's the blue train? Oh.... the Colonel took it out for a spin. No, I think that was a red one. Maybe he's taken the blue one out to rescue a red one then? You never know with the Colonel.....
Tthought the music was more fishy. More like. My name is Shark, giant White shark,
i saw no literal hammer being put down. #TradeDescriptionsAct
I was being figurative. As is almost always the case.
Star Jaws… ah, Jaws War.
Yeah Nah… Jaws.
We need to do a Kickstarter to get you to Minatur Wonderland in order to create a recorded walking tour.
The Emergency Stop button doesn't work? Typican German engineering there :-D
I sure hope there's a passenger announcement
Its not a proper safety test unless colonel failure is wearing his " I'm a train driver hat "
10:30 oh my.
You sure you wouldn't want to call it a blind test?
you're a mad man in a box
Legend 👍
De ZPEEEDY TRAINZ RULE! YA 💌🥝💗
Ive been actually there
With the amount of scientific vigour with which these tests were carried out, perhaps it should be Doktor Failure instead. You may have missed your calling in life.
Oh no o missed my test train! Shi**r
For Science!
You do know you can hit backspace to get emergency brake in one hit?
Why in the world would he need that information?
@@poilboiler Well, he tried hitting the big red button labelled “Emergency Brake” assuming it would work in one hit. Seeing it did nought, backspace might be a good alternative.
How come on the HST you can just press the emergency break button and it actually stops it?
@@wimpie031 The way it happened is more fun though. :D
Went better than a Chernobyl safety test at least….too soon?
Nope. Went about the same way. Everything worked fine during the first few tests and then unexpected derailment.
yeah sry had to stop the video at 6:04
totally unrealistic german trains that are early arent possible.
Dr Dyer couldn't have said it matter lmao
English does have Germanic roots...
The whole of Europe has been conquering itself for 2000 years, the amount of shared language is fascinating.
Not giving time for brake pads to cool, muppet ;).
That's not star wars, that's jaws
That's the joke.
@@colonelfailure I know, it just gave me a good laugh
It goes to show you how different Jaws would have been if John Williams had a concertina.
@@rickboivin7732 Now I want the whole of the John Williams soundtrack repertoire played by a German Oom Pah band ! x
closest I could find at short notice.. Star Wars theme played by wait for it .. .. .. An Accordion Band Yep ruclips.net/video/-G5RjwIzf7w/видео.html
