You and your fellow railroaders are the lifeblood of your railroad, just like it is the lifeblood of the communities it serves. Switch cars at industries. Keep people moving while running local passenger trains. Run trains with a purpose in transition era Appalachia - in Railroader!
The Mikado was first sold to Japanese Rail System and was called Mikado, the Japanese word for Emperor of Japan. During WW2 Mikado's were called McArthur's by U.S. railroads as no one wanted them named for something Japanese.
FYI: The stub track at the coal mine is a runaway track. The switch is supposed to be left lined for it. Any cars that roll out of the mine will go up this track instead of going down the hill to the jct. This is common on steep grades as cars moving at high speed will bounce over derails without derailing. Merry Christmas 😊
Good to know, thanks
You’ve probably already covered this somewhere else’s but,… the devs said (currently) there is no purpose for the caboose but, they are looking to implement some scenarios that will give a need or requirement for the caboose, which, to me sounds great.
I sold mine and I will repurchase when the gaming needs it. I do believe it would have been great for the Maintenance Of Way (MOW) to need the caboose to be left with the track and bridge repair team to use for rest and sleeping in while working out in the field.
Just bought the Mikado since I just reached Robinson Gap and the Alarka Jct site. Best purchase I’ve made - the damn thing waltzed its way to Bryson with 30 cars and 1500 tons. Didn’t even break a sweat.
Oh OH, you parked your Alarka Branch work cars across the road behind the station building! Shoulda broke the cars apart to clear the road... ;). Piece of cake when you have 3 of your 5 man crew riding in the caboose! Oh, wait! No caboose!
Enjoying this series of Railroader. You always start your videos with "Howdy Folks!"...very down to earth and likable, my kind of guy. 👍
Good series!
Thanks for watching!
The whistle is a Reading 6 Chime, one of my favorites
The more I watch this game, I kind of hope there will be a ridiculous expanded version where you have the full line from Asheville to Murphy, but I know that would basically double to triple the file size, not to mention adding a route between Murphy, Hayesville, Franklin, and Back to Dillsboro. But something about the idea of running a huge express train from Murphy to Asheville just seems so exciting.
I used the caboose when I run mix trains. When I only had one to two coaches. Now, I use it for MOW trains and for away of knowing where to split the train for switching moves.
This locomotive looks similar to Mccloud Railroad 19 which is currently being restored to running condition at the Age Of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek Ohio.
Or 18
You don’t have to worry about the rivet counters with stuff like whistle types, because loco accessories like that are typically chosen by each RR, and since yours isn’t real, you can pick whatever you want. And you definitely need the cab.
...rivet counters are everywhere. Especially when they find out that the loco is modeled after a RL loco. Why doesn't it carry it, that doesn't sound right, they messed up the reverb, etc. Sorry for the rant.
That was a heck of a train, looking forward to getting up to that stage myself! I turned the mouse speed down to 0.8 (settings, inputs) and the outside view is much more controllable and stays quite tight when I rotate the camera.
Railroaders will sometimes call a mikado a “mike”
You ought to watch Utuber; Hyce. He does 3rd person one click coupling/uncoupling making Dutch Drops and flying switches at 10 to 15 mph. But he does turn a lot of his equipment brown and goes on the ground a lot! Lol! Hardly anyone on Railroader does 1st person uncoupling, too time consuming. Not a criticism, but a heads up... Great video, enjoyed it a lot!
My first trip to Alarka Junction was hauled by the first Consolidation locomotive, with the repair train for the Wye. I made it with less than 300gal water remaining, so ended up using the starter 10-wheeler as a rescue... it takes a long time for that 10-wheeler to release the airbrakes on all those cars, moving it was surprisingly not so difficult. After dropping the cars off I then hauled the Consolidation back to Bryson for water and coal, and it turns out not to be quite so thirsty when running light engine!
The shift click work for both the connect and disconnect to open or close the air, makes it a bit better in the hard to get. Merry Christmas
And to add, if found the easiest way to access the gladhands in the 3rd person camera is to get the camera under the cars right in front the gladhands
Nice to see this engine making an appearance! On a side note, did you know the Logging Mikado is modeled after Yreka Western Railroad number 19?
I didn't know, but now I do
@@KerboOnYT Glad I could share a bit of knowledge with you! Also, Merry Christmas to you.
Mik a do...... I like that... It's better than calling it a MacArther.
Nice work. I’m excited to get the coal mine opened up. However I had purchased the line out to Sylva after opening Bryson. I’m just now getting the bridge west of Bryson fixed.
Any Factor of Adhesion below 4.0 was considered slippery. Steam locomotives struggled above 20% adhesion, so they were designed for FoA between 4.0 and 5.0. Pacific, Hudson and Atlantic types had higher FofA, whereas USRA Mike's and Santa Fe's were lower.
I found a neat tricks. You can use clt and mouse in the map to select a locomotive. It makes it easy to jump around the map to where I need to go.
The C-55 Connie is probably the best mid/late game freight engine. With 12T/8500 Gallon capacity it has very good endurance, not to mention it pulls like crazy up a grade.
I like the C-46 Connie for mid game. The 55 is a beast but expensive
Whistle is the Reading 6 Chime. Same one I use on my mid-size engines!
Have literally been waiting for the next videos to come up
Enjoying this series and loving this game. I have changed operations to using a freight drag and local engines to serve each section of the route. I went with the P43 Pacific (43,900 lb tractive effort). It was the most powerful large tender capacity that I could stretch for. It barely made it up the grade to Alarka Jct with 2000 tons of train behind it, down to 5mph at one point. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
very cool after Bryson I went the other way to Slyva ended up buying the Pacific that thing pulls like its nothing. good work with these videos
sounds like a DRGW
The whistle is the Reading 6 chime I believe!
Merry Christmas Kerbo just got some pulpwood cars. Love to see the CooseBay lumber Sw’s they had torpedo style air tanks and dynamic brakes mounted Weyco and Cafor had them also
Happy Holidays Kerbo, thank you for another long vid :D
@Kerbo, In this 1 hour 6 minute video, I know you added cuts to make it watchable. How long in real world time did it take to accomplish all the moves?
This was recorded 9 months ago so I don't remember exactly, but I would guess about 2 hours. Thanks for watching!
I found something even more useful for the camera - I thought I could move the camera in and out either with WASD or by scrolling the mouse wheel. Nope, the mouse wheel zooms the camera in and out. If you are zoomed out then rotating the camera swings the camera around in a huge arc, if you are zoomed in rotating the camera just spins it on the spot. You have to be zoomed out a little bit to get the camera above the ground, the higher your camera is the bigger the arc when you rotate it.
Hey, you're right. Good tip! I guess I never quite fully zoomed in before
Glad to see you stuck with steam. After all everything else is just a motorized boxcar. 😁
Diesel is coming eventually, but there will always be steam on the Fedora RR
another great video merry christmas to you family
The 2-8-2 Mikadoo is the successor to the 3-8-3 Mikadee
Nothing beats a Deedee Mega Doodoo, though...
Trying to play catch-up as I've been sick for the last week if you're seeing this on this video happy New Year Kerbo.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Small drivers are good for power, but they drink water and chew up coal at a voracious rate.
I think the noise from the background is either discord or Microsoft notifications..
I would say to get a small diesel switcher for an over the road switcher. Or to use the logging engine to do switching up to Bryson while the log cars are being loaded.
Merry Christmas
I sold my decapod for a big pacific and regret it. I got the tank Mikado for a shunting engine for Bryson
Merry Christmas Kerbo
Hey Kerbo, what’s the difficulty like compared to Railroads online?
Railroader is more complex, but the tutorial is good and walks you through the basics.
You should try some flying drops where you decouple while the train is moving like Duck does in Thomas & Friends. “It’s the Great Western way, or the *wrong* way.”
There are flying drops in the series. Thanks for watching!
loved it.
It may be 1:32 in the morning as I write this, but I need my fix of Kerbo
So right about comments on "how" should have done stuff at Alarka JCT. Use it as a learning experience. Railroading is a lot of puzzles, and trying to figure out the more efficient way of doing things. Railroaders are lazy, speaking from experience, and try to do as much with as little.
One question about the game. When the cars are on spot at an industry and unloaded, do you get penalized for not pulling them? Because in the real world we don't usually service a customer unless there is an out going load, or they have a new spot car.
A lazy railroader is a safe railroader, the more you have to walk for instance the greater chance of tripping
I think your reputation goes down if you don't honor the contract. I've been servicing industries every day based on waybills, so I don't know what happens
It's an interesting question though, the contract is to get cars to the industries. There's no timeliness bonus for getting cars back to the interchange promptly, I'm going to give this a go with one contract and see what happens.
I haven’t seen any negative effects of leaving empties at the locations, I’ll wait until I have a new car at minimum, some times I’ll just add the new one and only take the empties when I’m out of space.
If you are playing this as a game and don't care about trying to operate realistically according to the time period then get rid of the caboose, if you want to operate as close to reality as possible then you should be running all of you road freights with a caboose. Anything within yard limits doesn't need a caboose and if you run a mixed train with a passenger car on the end you don't need a caboose. I don't know enough about logging operations to know if you should or shouldn't use a caboose on the Connelly Branch but I run with one and use it as a shoving platform.
Gday Kerbo. You play a lot like I do with this game. Mostly onboard stuff like riding on the steps when shunting and general operation of the loco.Nice gameplay.
Im only on day 5, sawmill at tier 3, 14 empty cars just for them...
I would have numbered her #19 from emperor of the north since she resembles that loco
Custom flat top 5 chime?
Reading 6 Chime
@@09JDCTrainMan hmm must be how it sounded through the phone speaker
Ah, yes. It was my speakers. Definitely a Reading 6 chime.
*Looks around furtively. lol*
Merry Christmas.
@@athomasmay oh good, another perfect person that knows everything on TH-cam
@@CoryAY82383 My apologies. No offense intended. I cant tell you the difference between a Reading 6 Chime and my children’s wooden toy whistle. I just found the statement humorous.
However, in all other ways, I’m a perfect person on TH-cam. 😉
Merry Christmas
Reding 6
you should've number it 19
I do not like the AI in this game. It makes no sense to me. You have to give them orders to do everything. It's more like radio control than actual AI.
We should have crews that would be able to complete contracts on their own. All we should have to do would be to tell them what wagons to deliver and where to deliver them, and they should do the rest, from start to finish.
Remember this is early access and a work in progress. More AI features are coming. They showed off a waypoint system in a recent devlog video
