At 27:49 They're talking about the HR-01 class the NdeM had on their 3 foot gauge, they were big 2-6-6-2 simple articulated locomotives. Gives me hope the Baldwin 4-8-2s from Colombia make it in the game
While a full locomotive list won't be released till the game is I am pretty sure the Columbian 4-8-2s will not be in the game. The locomotives and rolling stock in game are limited to what saw service in North America. So 4-8-2s from Columbia are not in scope. Though built in the US no north american 3ft narrow gauge railroads operated 4-8-2s As for big articulateds I think the most likely would be the Utinah railroads 2-6-6-2 tank engines and their later form on the Sumpter Valley Railroad where they lost their side tanks and became tender locomotives. But again we won't know until the game releases or they show it in a dev blog.
@bluepoppy1026 well considering Hawaiian equipment has been confirmed there's no reason Mexican and Colombian equipment wouldn't be in the game, Hawaiian railways stopped running before statehood and were built during their independence so they're not US railroads either. Plus Colombia used American locomotives and rolling stock just like we did.
@@boxcarthehusky420 Hawaiian and Mexican equipment are certainly in scope as Hawaiian counts as American operations and Mexico is in the North American continent. However even though they used American built equipment Colombia is in South America and thus not in the scope of the game. Also when deciding what locomotives to add in game one of their first considerations is how common was the locomotive type in North America on the three foot narrow gauge. If it was very common like certain Baldwin catalog locomotives then it has a good chance of showing up. Something like a Garrett would not be in game because no north american railroad ran narrow gauge Garretts. One off or experimental locomotives are also very low on the list unless they represent a use case that no other locomotive can fill. Locomotives that were proposed but never built are at the very bottom of the list, simply because modeling them is incredibly difficult and since they never existed in real life they don't represent a typical locomotive of north American 3ft narrow gauge.
@@boxcarthehusky420 well we will see. Back when they had their discord going someone did ask about the Columbian 4-8-2s if I remember correctly and the devs said no as far as I can recall so that's where I am coming from for if they would be in game or not. I don't think they're worried about it looking like they are copying RO. Since both are representing North American 3ft narrow gauge railroading there is going to be an overlap of subject matter. That's just how it is. The team is very set on the scope and to not let scope creep happen.

@bluepoppy1026 yeah sorry I don't really buy i since the difference is so little, plus they don't want to copy railroads online.
