Funny thing about that Stihl story. I live across the street from an authorized dealer of Stihl. For the longest of time I was trying to figure out how to pronounce the company name. I finally gave up and decided to go over to the dealer and ask. The first worker I saw I walked towards him and asked "how do you pronounce your company name?" He was confused at first. After about three minutes he asked another coworker the same question. The other coworker began laughing and he said "it's pronounced as steel. You know... the heavy metal." He walks away from us still laughing. I looked back at the original worker and he was just as confused as I was.
@@TheFallenSku l have read somewhere, some time ago that opened firebox door is making things as I said. Like in home furnance for central water heating & room heating (wood and coal fired one, gravitational water displacing system) I have one in my house, so I am familiar with principles of firing it, and making "high temp" output. You start a fire in firebox- good. But if you keep the firebox door opened some of the draft is not going from underneath the coal bed, but above it, decreasing amount of heats and steams. It is look like it will induce more draft (so more air, heat&steams) but really this air is going straight to the stack, missing coal in the way, carying most of the unburned gases with it. So you will eventually run to a problem "I'm shoveling a lot of fuel, but I have little, to no efect on a temp/steam generation. What is going on? " Why?

Oh yeah, I've bought DM3 early and it was quite fun. But most importantly - powerful! I didn't look up the shifting patterns, just memorized the appropriate positions and have some idea of what gera I need to be in. I frequently brake by downshifting even. I got quite good at this. Flip the throttle to zero, ka-dunk the gearbox, throttle back to max. It's so powerful, yet max speed isn't high at all. I haven't watched the video far enough to see Hyce actually drive the DM3, but I already noticed how he shifts. When you need to switch through 2 gearboxes (meaning - you need to flip the levers on both gearboxes), it's best to do so by first selecting a higher gear, then the lower appropriate one. Yes, you can stall the engine, but if you overheat or get too many rpms, you can explode it. I think it's obvious which one is for the better.
Hey hyce just for future reference, with the non self lapping airbrakes, the choo choo closer to the cars controls the brakes thats why the train ranaway, you pretty much just put the tender and sh282 on, but not the rest of the train
@@Hyce777 Haven't watched the episode yet, but I noticed once you left one non-self lapping automatic in running in a previous episode which made the whole train dump the brake pressure with the other valve in the cab you were in in lap. Dunno if this is weird and different to how it works IRL (to me it makes sense since you basically command to release the brakes at one point in the train), but basically in DV you want them all sitting in lap instead of release while having multiple of those in the consist. Most importantly to notice here: When saving the game and loading up at a later time, they all reset to running, so you'd always have to check and set them up that one notch again. Would appreciate a real 101 video on that BTW, I think you haven't covered multi loco behaviour on that in your previous ones.
This is not quite right. As long as you move all of them into the hold position (second notch) then any brake control can be used to apply or release With the self-lapping, then they all need to be set, or use MU...
The sawmill has a really bad hill at the north end of the yard. I noticed when I parked the S282 to service it there that the tender handbrake wasn't actually enough to hold the engine if it had even the tiniest bit of momentum left over. On a whim I released the brake and let the engine coast down hill as far as it would go completely dark. No lubricator, compressor, or dynamo. I thought it would crash somewhere, but it made it all the way to the wye by the Steel Mill without derailing, making that lovely grinding sound the whole way.
Gotta love going back to the DE2s to get them to help pushing...and then applies power *in the opposite direction*. That'll get those amps to go crazy and make motors go boom!
The DM3 has a fluid coupling in it, the wheels aren't connected to the engine by a rigid connection. You can see this by simply applying the break while having the reverser set. The engine will not stall, even tho the wheels are not moving at all. Edit: you can "double" the hill by splitting your train with a few locos pushing from behind. It won't help with the weight, but it will prevent explosions, as you only have to look at one loco/set of locos at a time, you won't have to run between the head and trail ends of the train
@@roadtrain_ There is a fluid coupling but not like the DH4s. In the DH, the oil carries power from the engine to the wheels in hoses. In the DM3, there is still a fully mechanical transmission, but at some point in the linkage, there is a fluid coupling inserted along the drive shaft. Think of it as an automatic clutch, but it's not perfect. You can still stall the engine, but it lets you stop the loco with the engine technically in gear.
You should look into the DM3, its based off a British Railways Class 03 diesel mechanical shunter/switcher! They are slow, but they will move the world, Doncaster had loads and they'd shift rakes of cars for scrap and more they were strong little lads.
Dear Hyce, BayareaBuggs just dropped his first detail valley vid. He mentioned he’s not familiar with the steam engines at all. A collab between you two would be incredible! Please teach him how to blow things up. Thanks Hyce!
I have doubled the hill once in Derail Valley, coming out of the harbor with a train that was a little too much for a DE2. Ran the first cut up to the wye at the northwest end of the canyon, shoved it in there, then ran back for the other half. Fortunately I didn't have to double anywhere else that trip. Especially on those long stretches, sidings for this sort of thing (or for people who make the multiplayer mod work) would be really useful!
33:57: It's almost mechanically tied. There's an with a torque converter oil fluid coupling engine with the wheels. However unlike the DH4 where the fluid is loosely tied, in the DM3 it's a very hard oil coupling.
Its not a torque converter. Its a fluid coupling. Torque Converters are also a fluid coupling, but instead if relying solely on fluid friction, they have essentially turbine blades inside. So the fluid in a Torque Converter transfers torque from input to output by shoving the fluid with the driving turbine blades into the driven turbine blades.
In the same way that fuel consumption is measured in miles per gallon, ES&D railroad jobs are measured in "Exploded locomotives per job" or the "ELPJ factor" which is included in planning for each route. I heard that they try to stay under 7 ELPJ but sometimes it just aint possible...

32:34: It doesn't have a clutch just like an oil-bound gearbox in an automatic gearbox. However, there's gears on both sides of those oil-bound plates. The noise when throttle is not idle is just the same while it should be different depending on how much load the engine has (grinding noise is not simulated). The damage based on how much power the engine had is simulated, though. You can look at the game "diesel railcar simulator" for more trains with this kind of gearbox
Or gotten a 100% save to alter the difficulty settings. Anyways, I have posted an AHK script several times, even to comments that he replied to, so he should have gotten it in his inbox, which probably is constantly just exploding, though.
You have to set up the DM3 brakes the steam choochoo is only breaking for itself. Something i learned myself. Ive done many double headers with steam leading and steam brakes never worked for some reason.
Apparently hyce hasn't heard of the old saying "dont bite off more than you can chew", also when i saw the first set of de2's trying to run away my mind immediately thought "baby come back!" 😂
My car has made a rattling sound sporadically since I got it. Made it so I got a cracked boot on the forward passenger side, but it still made noise. Recently I started trying to make sense when the sound it is being made. Found out that the automatic transmission is having a hard time with second gear, and unfortunately the warranty is expired. But yeah, new noises that machines shouldn't make.
god watching Hyce in the DM3 was so funny as soon as he was saying the gears i was like oh no thats sooo wrong XD but there you go Hyce the gear stick from start to finish. also you have to do them in reverse if you want to go down gears. Left number is left stick Right number is right stick. (1.2 2.1 3.1 3.2 2.3 3.3) and if you need to move two levers move the stick that goes up a slot first. have fun with the DM3 folks. o7
I got to work this weekend with the Sumpter Valley Raiload Wood burning heisler as a brakeman. The only thing louder that the safety was the blow down! It was also very surprising how when the dynamo and air compressor weren't going that the locomotive was dead silent even when 1 foot away. I also got to ride in my first diesel makanical it svrr #110 a small Plymouth.
37:33 As others have said(thank you, Spanderson99), you can edit items like the teleport distance in the difficulty settings. However, IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to complete a career save first(buying all the licenses) to edit the settings of a career save. I honestly don't know why they did this, apparently they didn't want new players to mess with the settings for career without knowing what they're doing or something? Anyway, gotta do that first!
Ahh, yes... This episode really brings out the smell of Kenosha, with many offerings of homemade firewater, fireworks and cups with yellow fluids. Even though poor Hyce, in more than one sense of the word, failed the deceptively "simple" task, he never cease to bring good content!
I absolutely love the DM3 and wish there were more trains like it in derail valley. The gears are funny in that it's simulating two gearboxes with one mounted backwards. So the long and short of shifting is that the right side is your selector and your left side is your range until you get to 2:2 and then it's reversed and your left side is your 1,2,3 and the right is your range. As for how it shifts without a clutch it essentially has a torque converter like on an automatic car so it's a semi-automatic gearbox. Yes this is dumb and inefficient which is why they were not that popular. See the British Fell locomotive for the most bats--t example of this kind of design
If you haven’t already.. those of us that probably will never get the chance to stop by the museum could you give us a tour of all the engines? Your telling us about all these locomotives/diesels etc I’d love to see peewee and goose and all the things haha
Walking the left stick all the way up and then walking the right stick all the way up is actually a pretty good, simplified shift pattern. So: 1-1 to 2-1 to 3-1 to 3-2 to 3-3. That's five speeds, with each shift skipping one of the available speeds (which you can often do, since a lot of the final gear ratios are pretty close to each other). And because you are only ever moving one lever, you don't have to worry about the order in which you need to move the levers. You might sometimes need to use 2-3 (which comes between 3-2 and 3-3), but I feel like the rest of the skipped gears are mostly optional.
From what the trailers said when simulator was still WIP, they said you have to buy all licenses before you can change settings. Someone has to double check that for me Another option is, if you dont want to wear out your keys, get the handcar. You can get it going just as fast as teleporting.
It's true. Just have a savegame with all the licenses in your save folder and you can customize the difficulty level for all career saves. So you can have it before achieving that by yourself by just getting such a save file.
Your Stihl story reminds me of a story of my own. I have been associated with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children and had the Marine Corps flag flying on my house. One of our neighbors came down the hill to visit bringing along a relative from the old country. He had a strong German accent and he asked me, "Iz zat zome zort of Piraaate flag on yourrr Houze?" I could only laugh and say, "uh, yeah, sort of..." I have been known to quote that when I see someone else with a Marine Corps flag displayed.
Hyce: *Forgets to tie in the steam engine to the train brakes* Also Hyce: *Puts the train brake in emergency from the steam engine and proceeds to wonder why it isn't stopping*
He already did: /watch?v=jui1KLyjWn8 That was only the seated experience though. It's really another level when doing it in room scale with enough space so you can walk around in the cab for real.
When shifting the DM3 always start with both in the "Low" or "1" position. Progress through the gears like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3. The right stick moves three positions first before moving the left stick one position.
The way you were describing the DM3 transmission is basically exactly how some farm tractor transmissions work, notably the old John Deere 6200 series tractors that I used to drive. You had 4 forward gears (1, 2, 3, and 4) and 4 ranges (A, B, C, and D), the idea being you had more control over your ground speed vs actual engine RPMs and you didn't need an insanely long and complicated transmission with 16 actual gears to do it. I think the DM3 is modeled after a British Rail Class 03 shunter, which did use a mechanical transmission (along with some other early British diesel traction like the Class 101 DMUs). It's actually a semi-automatic transmission with epicyclic gearing in the real thing, there was no clutch pedal like in a car. Another thing you might notice is that it almost looks like it has 8 wheels, but it's actually 6 wheels driven by a jackshaft.
Fun thing about the DM3. With proper use of the gearbox, it can, indeed, trivially haul up about 600-700 tonnes up every single hill in the game you'd reasonably use the DM3 on (read: not coal mine, not the DE6 slug hill, honorable mention for east harbor exit.) I also looked at you setting up 1900+ tonnes of cargo with an engine that can struggle to do 1000 in ideal conditions up that hill and knew I had to get popcorn. I was not disappointed. As a note, I have doubts the DM3+S282 could have done that load safely. Maybe with perfect play, maybe, it would be extremely borderline as the DM3 really doesn't enjoy 800 tonnes up that hill and the S282 with a running start can only just manage about 1000.
Regarding coal prices: one heritage railroad in germany tries to convert a (small) coal burning loco to wood pellets to be able to keep running once coal is gone. They fitted the engine with lots of sensors and did performance and efficiency test with it.
Did a test in the sandbox. It is possible to haul the entire order using a single S282 from the steel mill to the harbor. The train needed to be driven perfectly at max power and with a large runup from between the two bridges north of the steel mill. Total mass of haul was 1995 tons, 35 rail cars.
From the ES&D's Mechanical Shop-You've done six jobs requiring more locomotives. You have got to figure out a better way to do the jobs that don't destroy half the engines you have.
DE2 runs cooler facing forwards. Other engines probably don't matter, at least DH4 heats the same both directions and can always be run at the second hardest notch. DM3 is better to be in too high of a gear than too low, no harm in heating the oil a little (but not too much). Gear pattern was basically correct, but it gets weird at the higher end. Easiest to just not use high first. The jump between low third and mid first is a bit great but don't think it as a problem. Thanks for all the entertainment. It's at it's best when trying not to blow anything up on purpose.
I was laying on my couch half asleep listening to this in the back ground, not really paying attention. Then he started lip squeaking and it woke me up and I started questioning my own sanity. Oh nvm just hyce doing the things.
Damn, secret meta: DM-3 It might not get you there fast, but it is cheap, and by god, it will get you from Kansas to the Emerald City, or wherever you choose to go, with your several tons of luggage and your little dog too
Probably not, because of what happened (the whole keume drama thing). Wouldn't mind them playing it again at some point though when it gets some fair progress in development, since that'd be good sportsmanship (I mean, he literally is part of the competition with Studio 346 now, who try to make their dream come true by making a similar, but better game/sim) and players simply would like to watch this, I guess...
Yeah, I didn't think about that. I suppose when Studio 346 puts out a full beta version "down the line" (pun intended), maybe then Hyce and kAN will start a new series.
by the way, you can go like 1 kph or whatever the limit is by just leaving it in first and idling, it slowly moves, great for shunting and you got the shift pattern wrong
I cut down trees with Stihl saws at work, and I have a green card German coworker that is the most polite person I’ve ever met. He pronounces it “Stee-il” so that’s what I go with. Also, the DM3 reminds me of a specific locomotive that is parked at Six Flags Over Texas, the one you stare at while waiting for the Texas Giant.
on thee dm3 shifting up isn't a problem it's more shifting down (no free wheeling device), also because it has a fluid coupeling you can't actually bump start it, (but it locks the transfear case if you kick it on at speed?). but like an LKW running light you can set of in like 4th gear. disclaimer: i never sat in the cab of a locomotive
Man, bro using the DM3 reminds me of my first experience driving a stick. I may have stalled her on the way onto the drive way one, but I got it the second time.
Hyce: “I need to save 20 thousand dollars to buy the slug at the end of the episode” Hyce 1 hour later: almost all engines in critical condition or destroyed, half a train derailed and a Half blown up engineer drowning. Needless to say it was a typical Wednesday and the ES&D
2:49 : "We have no air" Look, Hyce, you only need air if you intend to stop. Now how would your conductor feel about you stopping and delaying their journey?

Oh god, one Kenosha after another... This is the most chaotic episode so far I think.
You have to set up the DM3 brakes the steam choochoo is only breaking for itself. Something i learned myself. Ive done many double headers with steam leading and steam brakes never worked for some reason.
"Ol' Enzo ain't ever seen anything go that fast."
Love it. 😂😂
Stihl?! In zhe U.S. of A?!
Apparently hyce hasn't heard of the old saying "dont bite off more than you can chew", also when i saw the first set of de2's trying to run away my mind immediately thought "baby come back!" 😂
Guess not! He done ate with his eyes and a pre-Simulator sense of tonnages
My car has made a rattling sound sporadically since I got it. Made it so I got a cracked boot on the forward passenger side, but it still made noise. Recently I started trying to make sense when the sound it is being made. Found out that the automatic transmission is having a hard time with second gear, and unfortunately the warranty is expired. But yeah, new noises that machines shouldn't make.
You gotta love the foreshadowing: "I'll keep the extra lanterns becauzw it's probably gonna become nighttime..." 😂
if theres a parallell track you can always use the handcar to scoot around the train . costs nothing to summon. just have to unlock it like the slug.
Mark trying not to say “We’ve got places to be” challenge for 24 hours straight
LOL! I guess trying not to say "It's fine" would be harder though ^^
Lol that or “It’s fine “
"Single tear"
god watching Hyce in the DM3 was so funny as soon as he was saying the gears i was like oh no thats sooo wrong XD but there you go Hyce the gear stick from start to finish. also you have to do them in reverse if you want to go down gears. Left number is left stick Right number is right stick. (1.2 2.1 3.1 3.2 2.3 3.3) and if you need to move two levers move the stick that goes up a slot first. have fun with the DM3 folks. o7
Sumpter valley 101 for the win!
On the current sumpter valley, we still have the 100 which is the whitcomb switcher that was replaced by the 101
I got to work this weekend with the Sumpter Valley Raiload Wood burning heisler as a brakeman. The only thing louder that the safety was the blow down! It was also very surprising how when the dynamo and air compressor weren't going that the locomotive was dead silent even when 1 foot away. I also got to ride in my first diesel makanical it svrr #110 a small Plymouth.
I’d recommend putting the DM3s A gearbox into it’s top gear and just use the B as a 3 speed and only shift down A if needed.
Totally this. Any DM3 in low gears within the consist is basically a brake that will brick itself real quick if you give the other one all the beanz.
You are throwing away a LOT of power doing like that. I just memorize 2 contents and it already allows me to do great heavy hauling
@@brunoais Valid point, but you can't do it perfectly when cab-hopping constantly anyways, so you gotta "simple it down" to some degree.
37:33 As others have said(thank you, Spanderson99), you can edit items like the teleport distance in the difficulty settings. However, IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to complete a career save first(buying all the licenses) to edit the settings of a career save. I honestly don't know why they did this, apparently they didn't want new players to mess with the settings for career without knowing what they're doing or something? Anyway, gotta do that first!
Ahh, yes...
This episode really brings out the smell of Kenosha, with many offerings of homemade firewater, fireworks and cups with yellow fluids.
Even though poor Hyce, in more than one sense of the word, failed the deceptively "simple" task, he never cease to bring good content!
I absolutely love the DM3 and wish there were more trains like it in derail valley. The gears are funny in that it's simulating two gearboxes with one mounted backwards. So the long and short of shifting is that the right side is your selector and your left side is your range until you get to 2:2 and then it's reversed and your left side is your 1,2,3 and the right is your range. As for how it shifts without a clutch it essentially has a torque converter like on an automatic car so it's a semi-automatic gearbox. Yes this is dumb and inefficient which is why they were not that popular. See the British Fell locomotive for the most bats--t example of this kind of design
I think you see that because the GB A has the same ratio difference between gears and GB B has both the lowest and highest gear ratio difference.
The remote controller would have been a beautiful blessing for controlling those DE2s at the back of the train 🎉
Seriously...I wish he'd buy the remote
Hyce you are not really close on the DM3 but if you look it up you can find a shifting guide trust me use it I learned the hard way
If you haven’t already.. those of us that probably will never get the chance to stop by the museum could you give us a tour of all the engines? Your telling us about all these locomotives/diesels etc I’d love to see peewee and goose and all the things haha
He's showcased quite a few of them. Sifting through his "Railroads OFFLINE!" playlist is a good place to start.
Walking the left stick all the way up and then walking the right stick all the way up is actually a pretty good, simplified shift pattern. So: 1-1 to 2-1 to 3-1 to 3-2 to 3-3. That's five speeds, with each shift skipping one of the available speeds (which you can often do, since a lot of the final gear ratios are pretty close to each other). And because you are only ever moving one lever, you don't have to worry about the order in which you need to move the levers. You might sometimes need to use 2-3 (which comes between 3-2 and 3-3), but I feel like the rest of the skipped gears are mostly optional.
From what the trailers said when simulator was still WIP, they said you have to buy all licenses before you can change settings. Someone has to double check that for me
Another option is, if you dont want to wear out your keys, get the handcar. You can get it going just as fast as teleporting.
In career mode that's correct. However, you can set whatever in sandbox mode, even from the beginning.
It's true. Just have a savegame with all the licenses in your save folder and you can customize the difficulty level for all career saves. So you can have it before achieving that by yourself by just getting such a save file.
There's no clutch on the DM3 because it uses a fluid coupling
There is...I think, something in the tutorial about 700rpm. Could just be misremembering
Your Stihl story reminds me of a story of my own. I have been associated with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children and had the Marine Corps flag flying on my house. One of our neighbors came down the hill to visit bringing along a relative from the old country. He had a strong German accent and he asked me, "Iz zat zome zort of Piraaate flag on yourrr Houze?" I could only laugh and say, "uh, yeah, sort of..." I have been known to quote that when I see someone else with a Marine Corps flag displayed.
Wow Hyce, a video almost everyday. Great work but I think if the making videos is taking to much time, take a break. You definitely deserve it.
Hyce: *Forgets to tie in the steam engine to the train brakes*
Also Hyce: *Puts the train brake in emergency from the steam engine and proceeds to wonder why it isn't stopping*
Hyce, you could always get one of them gaming mice and program one of the buttons to be a Turbo F key. You know - save a keyboard, ride a turbo.
AutoHotKey can do that with any keyboard... :)
The superintendent is like, “WHO KEEPS GIVING THESE SHMUCKS ENGINES?!”
Hyce, your making Tuesdays in 6th period my favorite part of the week ❤
You should try this game in vr mode, it’s like a horror game with the boiler explosions and whatnot
He already did: /watch?v=jui1KLyjWn8
That was only the seated experience though. It's really another level when doing it in room scale with enough space so you can walk around in the cab for real.
@@CakePrincessCelestiathat was before simulator update
@@Shadowtiger2564 True. Time to repeat, probably with a better headset as well.
You know it's bad when Smells Like Kenosha plays twice in a row
It played a lot... ^^
I thought hyce Squeaking was my chair. Literally started rocking my chair.
When shifting the DM3 always start with both in the "Low" or "1" position. Progress through the gears like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3. The right stick moves three positions first before moving the left stick one position.
mostly right but I think there's a bit of nonsense there where you go to 3-1 before 2-3
Today we recreate unstoppable in DV 1:04:24
41:53 reminds me of "Pull the lever Kronk. WRONG LEVVVEERRRRRR!!!!, Why do we even have that lever?" -Ezma T.E.N.G. Lol
The way you were describing the DM3 transmission is basically exactly how some farm tractor transmissions work, notably the old John Deere 6200 series tractors that I used to drive. You had 4 forward gears (1, 2, 3, and 4) and 4 ranges (A, B, C, and D), the idea being you had more control over your ground speed vs actual engine RPMs and you didn't need an insanely long and complicated transmission with 16 actual gears to do it.
I think the DM3 is modeled after a British Rail Class 03 shunter, which did use a mechanical transmission (along with some other early British diesel traction like the Class 101 DMUs). It's actually a semi-automatic transmission with epicyclic gearing in the real thing, there was no clutch pedal like in a car. Another thing you might notice is that it almost looks like it has 8 wheels, but it's actually 6 wheels driven by a jackshaft.
Fun thing about the DM3. With proper use of the gearbox, it can, indeed, trivially haul up about 600-700 tonnes up every single hill in the game you'd reasonably use the DM3 on (read: not coal mine, not the DE6 slug hill, honorable mention for east harbor exit.) I also looked at you setting up 1900+ tonnes of cargo with an engine that can struggle to do 1000 in ideal conditions up that hill and knew I had to get popcorn. I was not disappointed.
As a note, I have doubts the DM3+S282 could have done that load safely. Maybe with perfect play, maybe, it would be extremely borderline as the DM3 really doesn't enjoy 800 tonnes up that hill and the S282 with a running start can only just manage about 1000.
Regarding coal prices: one heritage railroad in germany tries to convert a (small) coal burning loco to wood pellets to be able to keep running once coal is gone. They fitted the engine with lots of sensors and did performance and efficiency test with it.
Did a test in the sandbox. It is possible to haul the entire order using a single S282 from the steel mill to the harbor. The train needed to be driven perfectly at max power and with a large runup from between the two bridges north of the steel mill. Total mass of haul was 1995 tons, 35 rail cars.
Logi haul is good for you, it actually increases your bonus time by 2%
Best part of Tuesday ngl.... lol Cheers!
That moment when the first couple notes of "Smells like Kenosha" start for the second time right as an ad begins: "Oh no..."
Yes!! More Hyce DV
Back to back Kenoshas is what im here for
Yeah, if you hadn't binned the DM3 you could've easy made it up the hill as long as the rails were dry. I managed to slog up the hill with 2,420 tons.
U know its a spiiiicy episode when the smells like Kenosha plays back to back
From the ES&D's Mechanical Shop-You've done six jobs requiring more locomotives. You have got to figure out a better way to do the jobs that don't destroy half the engines you have.
56:00 i heard the sounds of _that_ guitar solo and I'm sitting here going "ok, what's going to blow up!?"
5:23 "This is the ES@DT, you think we oil things?"
Me: Well, yes but only the environment.
According to wiki testing:
The DM3 with sand can pull up to 960t. Without its closer to like 450t.
Its a pocket DE6
DE2 runs cooler facing forwards. Other engines probably don't matter, at least DH4 heats the same both directions and can always be run at the second hardest notch.
DM3 is better to be in too high of a gear than too low, no harm in heating the oil a little (but not too much). Gear pattern was basically correct, but it gets weird at the higher end. Easiest to just not use high first. The jump between low third and mid first is a bit great but don't think it as a problem.
Thanks for all the entertainment. It's at it's best when trying not to blow anything up on purpose.
I was laying on my couch half asleep listening to this in the back ground, not really paying attention. Then he started lip squeaking and it woke me up and I started questioning my own sanity.
Oh nvm just hyce doing the things.
It doesn't just smell like Kenosha, THE KENOSHA IS HERE
If i belive right isnt the DM3 based on the BR Class 03 which also has a stick shift
Damn, secret meta: DM-3
It might not get you there fast, but it is cheap, and by god, it will get you from Kansas to the Emerald City, or wherever you choose to go, with your several tons of luggage and your little dog too
Out of curiosity, will the Railroads Online playthrough with kAN be returning? I miss the Ted Talks between you two. Lol
Probably not, because of what happened (the whole keume drama thing). Wouldn't mind them playing it again at some point though when it gets some fair progress in development, since that'd be good sportsmanship (I mean, he literally is part of the competition with Studio 346 now, who try to make their dream come true by making a similar, but better game/sim) and players simply would like to watch this, I guess...
Yeah, I didn't think about that. I suppose when Studio 346 puts out a full beta version "down the line" (pun intended), maybe then Hyce and kAN will start a new series.
kAN and I will play more things down the road... when and what, who knows.
@@sethorindustries4749
@@Hyce777 Glad to hear it, I missed the multiplayer videos! :D
by the way, you can go like 1 kph or whatever the limit is by just leaving it in first and idling, it slowly moves, great for shunting and you got the shift pattern wrong
I cut down trees with Stihl saws at work, and I have a green card German coworker that is the most polite person I’ve ever met. He pronounces it “Stee-il” so that’s what I go with.
Also, the DM3 reminds me of a specific locomotive that is parked at Six Flags Over Texas, the one you stare at while waiting for the Texas Giant.
on thee dm3 shifting up isn't a problem it's more shifting down (no free wheeling device), also because it has a fluid coupeling you can't actually bump start it, (but it locks the transfear case if you kick it on at speed?). but like an LKW running light you can set of in like 4th gear.
disclaimer: i never sat in the cab of a locomotive
Man, bro using the DM3 reminds me of my first experience driving a stick.
I may have stalled her on the way onto the drive way one, but I got it the second time.
To be honest, after the demos of Century of Steam, the Derail valley whistle sounds a bit dull
I was just playing some games with this in the background and than I here “OH GOOD CHRIST!!” and i look over and his train is running away.
Ouch, that poor gearbox.
jumping from the 5th position right into the 2nd while trying to shift up
You made my day with this new upload to cheer me up
Fun Fact: I Live about 10 min away from the origin of the Stihl Equipement. The chainsaws are produced in the neighboring villages around my city^^
Slow roll through the yard, smells like kenosha starts playing
the es&d is all about the beans
I don't think I've ever heard Kenosha so much in one episode!
Hyce: “I need to save 20 thousand dollars to buy the slug at the end of the episode”
Hyce 1 hour later: almost all engines in critical condition or destroyed, half a train derailed and a Half blown up engineer drowning.
Needless to say it was a typical Wednesday and the ES&D
2:49 : "We have no air"
Look, Hyce, you only need air if you intend to stop. Now how would your conductor feel about you stopping and delaying their journey? It'd make a sweet mess of their precious time table. So yes, you may have no air, but it's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, you don't need or want it :P
Yes starting the episode by starting all the tie fires
you are more than welcome to change the tele distance
it should also be noted that due to the way the Diesel Mechanical works, it is better at climbing hills then most engines.
Outro music gives me so much chill.....
