For anyone worried about the whistles sounding the same (i can't confirm this for the air horns yet) that's just the default whistle. There are a lot of different whistles you can choose from to throw on your locomotives.
Sounds like all the steam engines use the same audio files and are defaulted to the same whistles. Looks fantastic for a beta of an EA game. Hope they add some diversity to the sounds of the trains.
They do have different whistles if you go look at Hyce's stream that he did last night you have to customize that and set that for a different whistles
I love how you can fly switch but the locos are a little let down. Sounding like Hyce here, no boiler pressure, no fire, and whatnot. It would be great if Smokebox from Dovetail's Railworks dumped them and worked on this game. His locos are great!
I just thought of something. There is a defined transition on the steam chuffs from the hard hitting low speed to the softer more flowing higher speed chuffs. I would like to request if the devs can overlap the transition maybe by 1 or 2 mph. That way it isn’t a defined exact switchover point between the two sound types. If possible, that would be awesome.
@@KerboOnYT Wow that is great to know. Though honestly it is not a detriment in it's current iteration. More of a "that would be nice if possible" thing.
@@KerboOnYT Three engines, two tenders (still looking for a third), four tank cars, and three cabooses (one of which is missing wheels and one truck). Hard to find online for sell, but surprisingly cheap given 1: it's a train model, and 2: they're around 30-40 years old. Paid around $100 for all the parts I have now, and am building my own set of tracks to display it on out of popsicle sticks.
4:56 that one reminds me of Hammond‘s lumber Company number 17 of the Mount Rainier scenic Railroad she is an 85 ton settle tank built by Alco it’s interesting to know that her story involves a twist of fate that saved her from being scrapped when she was working for a Hammond lumber company at a reload site a fast moving forest fire destroyed track and a wooden trestle leaving her stranded in the woods since they couldn’t move her to the scrapyard she was abandoned in the forest in 1965 a rail enthusiast constructed a special road into the woods to reach number 17 she was tucked out piece by piece and went to work on a tourist road in California she was acquired by the Mount Rainier scenic Railroad in the 1980s and restored to operation in 1994
@@KerboOnYT yes indeed the Mount Rainier scenic Railroad has come back it’s now re-acquired by the original west coast forest industry Museum and it made a comeback by bringing back Polson logging company number 70 currently number 17 is out of service along with all four geared locomotives all are waiting extensive rebuild
Great video. I'll have to check out all the passenger equipment later on. I think there is only 1 type of caboose. Very informative though and a good idea of the acceleration of each engine. 13 Days, I'll probably count down each one. Keep 'em coming everyone. The images alone were more of a tease than the videos. I find the videos help relax me and give me more to look forward to.
I think there are 3 types of caboose as of right now. There's a handful of different passenger cars. I realized in editing that I had forgotten to show a passenger train. Oops!
I see that as I watch this video that it is 8 month old. I say this in Aug 2024. My son and I both have just recently purchased this and have been playing it in multi player. I am nearly 60, he is 33 and he lives 500 miles away. We have been completely addicted to it and have been having a blast playing it together online.
The diesel sounds are extremely good. Hopefully some more will be added, like an RS3 for an earlier game diesel, and a later Geep, say a GP35 for a late game diesel. I'm also hoping that we can have some more customization for them, like the ability to make custom paint schemes, different horn options, and choosing whether we want a high or low hood. I'd personally go for a high hood, given that this is a simulation of a Southern Railway line, and also since I'm a huge SOU and NW fan.
I like the way the initial chuff and smoke ejection is great but why is it transitioning to seeming like it's running at full speed so quickly? All the steamers sound exactly the same which is not what I would expect.
@@KerboOnYT probably not given that's two weeks away, hopefully they keep it stable, let it bed in until sometime in the new year, gather everyone's feedback then make decisions on where to go from the initial release
Reading comments I see the. Same thing. I hope they’ll have different sounds for each engine, whistles bells, sounds of chuffing also hope they fix the sound change.. when it gets faster the file ends and starts abruptly should have a gradual change to make it blend nicely
The gameplay is great. There is a lot of work to do on company mode once you get going with various contract options. You can also play in sandbox mode and do whatever you want by spawning in locos and cars.
If you mean the real locomotives they're based on, someone has made a guide over on the Railroader Discord discord.com/channels/795878618697433097/1186341801947299940
The chuffing sound switch at a certain speed is very annoying, they should just keep the first sound and let it just speed up as the wheels get faster instead of changing it mid run.
@@arrivedknight7632 It's easy to play, but there is a lot to wrap your head around. Follow the tutorial and read all the screens then you'll be all set
the locos all sound exactly the same even the diesels are the same looks like they only used 2 sound files one steam one diesel and no difference in whistles or chuffs etc lol
There are a lot of different whistles to choose from but I think they all spawn with one default. The game is a work in progress and not the final product
The diesels look a bit unfinished compared to the steam, but honestly that isnt a problem considering that the steam seems to be a lot more fun to operate. Overall I am extremely excited for this game to release.
There is a very active Discord. Check the video description for links. The game also has an extensive tutorial and the very first screen you see when you start the game tells you how to start it
@@KerboOnYT i will withhold judgment until the game is fully released, but in its current state they really need to improve steam simulation. The diesels sound great though.
@@trevoro3227 There's room for improvement for sure, but this game is more about operating a short-line and not a hardcore locomotive simulator. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@KerboOnYThow do you get the whistle options?
@@IlanTheSouthwesternRailfan On the locomotive inspector window, go to the equipment tab, and then customize
Wow!!! Can't wait to get my hands on that 0-6-0 and 0-8-0. Thanks for the preview
You're quite welcome

It would be great if Smokebox from Dovetail's Railworks dumped them and worked on this game. His locos are great!
I don't feel let down at all. It's a game about about running a railroad, not shoveling coal. Thanks for watching!
@@KerboOnYT Arguably, that's part of running a steam locomotive.
@@Steamer96 So is oiling, shaking out the grates, and dumping ashes, but again it's not that kind of game and doesn't claim to be.

That's great. Happy railroading!
Even though they all sound identical (will probably changes for early access release), still so stoked to play this. Thanks kerbo!!
The core gameplay is rock solid so that means things like sound can be tweaked during early access. Thanks for watching!
All the steam engines look amazing! Thank you for this video! 😄🚂
My pleasure
That's a pretty impressive selection of locomotives and more then enough for a progression system.
Really looks fantastic, can't wait to see more!
Looking forward to this and seeing how it develops over time
Looks like a great addition to the railroad genre. I can't wait for the release in a few weeks.
I am EXTREMLEY on edge right now for the game's release.
Just what I wanted!
The people have spoken and they wanted to see locos :D
Love these awesome locomotives!
That is a lot of local's to choose from. Same with the cars..............Very nice Kerbo. !!
That pacific with the feedwater heater tho!!! I can't wait!
I like how you can change the whistle. But not happy that you can't change the bell and the chuffing of the loco.
It's early access so that could change. Thanks for watching!

I hope they keep adding different everything. USRA heavy Mikado comes to mind
I'm not sure what the future holds, but I look forward to finding out
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
That's a lot of rolling stock for an EA release. Hope the gameplay aspect can keep up so it will be fun to drive all of that round.
The gameplay is great. There is a lot of work to do on company mode once you get going with various contract options. You can also play in sandbox mode and do whatever you want by spawning in locos and cars.
Wait why are there two C-25s
I labelled one wrong. That second C-25 is the C-46
Can you make a video on all the whistles?
It's on my to-do list
so about the EMD GP9 will it be changeable if you want the little front part to be a tall or a short hood
I don't know, but that would be a neat option
The chuffing sounds as of now are absolute horrible. They have to fix that. It looks like a game i want to try out though.
The game is a lot of fun if you like operations and logistics. The small details like chuffs and whistles can get sorted out
That’s some roster of steam locos 👍
What are the basis' for the G-16 mogul and the S-23 switcher?

Could you do a whistle showcase next?
It's on my TODO list!
The chuffing sound switch at a certain speed is very annoying, they should just keep the first sound and let it just speed up as the wheels get faster instead of changing it mid run.
They're aware. This is a pre-release build of an early access game and things will change. Thanks for watching!
Yes i love your video ❤❤❤❤ and i love trains 😊😊😊😊
and how do you spawn the different trains in we can't seem to figure that out lol
Check the guide in the upper right of the screen for controls. Shift+T is spawn menu in sandbox mode
@@KerboOnYT sorted it out thank you
Thanks for this! and your choice for favorite? 🧐
I like the black locomotive with the whistle
Lol! Good choice!
FINALLY A GAME WITH A BERK.
It's a little out of place on a short line, but I'll take it
This game is awesome
Why does it say it's released on the 7th of December on steam, but people say it's released on the 15th? Is the 7th just pre order?
The original announced release date was December 15th. Valve recommended they release on the 7th so they bumped it up a week. Thanks for watching!
@KerboOnYT oh sweet! Can't wait to be full steam ahead tomorrow. Thanks for the response, and I hope you enjoyed the game. Is it easy to play?
@@arrivedknight7632 It's easy to play, but there is a lot to wrap your head around. Follow the tutorial and read all the screens then you'll be all set
