For what reason does the Ruby Basin have 3 different points to set a link and pin, both on the front and rear? It's intriguing yet bizarre to me, and I'm a bit surprised I couldn't find it in Google Images... also the new brightly colored liveries are fun to look at but were/are they realistic, or just for fun (looking at the blue ones especially)?

The Deadwood Central that the locomotive it originated from, was dual gauge. So you needed a way to let the locomotive couple to standard gauge cars, as well as narrow gauge.

The two bright colors for Ruby Basin are accurate. Those come from the Puffing Billy Railway. The bright blue for the Cooke comes from a historic incident where a misprint in a magazine turned all black on the locomotive blue; while the red/green one was a one off engine that was painted like that for a "History of Steam" event akin to the World's Fair.

I'm afraid we'll have to disagree on this one because no, locomotives with their independent brake on full would absolutely lock their wheels and slide on them as the friction between the brake and the wheels is greater than the friction between the wheels and the rails.

Wait, then why was Hyce so pissed about it being supposedly incorrect? He actually works with trains, I feel like he would know that.

Hate to tell you this... but Hyce doesn't know as much about narrow gauge railroad history, as he implies.

And the man was drunk when he did the livestream. Totally changed the personality. He released a video using the new 2-8-0 et&wnc and didn’t complain about it like he did the day before.

That's called "Damage control" Youtubers do that all the time.

While I do appreciate us getting more rolling stock, the addition of new wagons did have me wondering if we could see the possibility of mixed freight in the future, as we have 2 types of boxcar now, which is the least used piece of rolling stock in the game atm, so I was thinking that we could get some more uses for these kinds of wagons in the near future, I did think of a system where this could work.

When the player reaches the ironworks, and starts to use the boxcars, other industries will require items to be loaded into boxcars and shipped out, these include Moving pickaxes and tools to the Iron Mine, and sawblades for the Sawmill.
This would also be an introduction of new cargo types, being made at the ironworks, smelter, or the sawmill to be shipped out to other industries, some will require flatcars due to their size.
some examples include spare parts for the steam donkeys at the logging camp.
- Boiler parts for industries with stationary engines.
- Iron beams for the buildings.
this could also apply for tank cars with crude oil or water in them, which could be transported to different industries as fuel.

I'm sorry, but this is verifiably false. LGB Model Trains made a locomotive with this exact red/green paint scheme, down to the brass wrappers on the domes. None of the Cooke Moguls ever appeared in a paint scheme like that.

I'd love to see photos of the Deadwood Central style locomotives in VR Canadian Red or Two Tone Green as you implied here. Or a "event scheme" that looks EXACTLY like an LGB model. Too bad this game keeps throwing historical accuracy down the drain...

As a person who has spent several years and a considerable sum of money researching the Colorado & Southern/UPD&G/DL&G/DSP&P equipment and operations, with particular note to the Cooke 2-6-0s, I would indeed beseech you to provide evidence for this "History of Steam" event at which one of the class was painted as described. I have not found any evidence throughout my collections or forums as to such an event. The only similar example I could find would be the Chicago Railroad Fair of 1948 scheme, which is A. of the class in a considerably different form and B. a very different scheme in its entirety. As mentioned previously by persons other than myself it seems to only have connections to the LGB model of the class, which is a typically fanciful (and horridly incorrect) artistic construct of early research into 1800s locomotive painting practices.

Not to mention, the games Canadian Red/Chocolate on the Ruby Basin is completely inaccurate (which devs would've likely known had they done proper research), as the red was a much darker almost maroon color (same color in fact that Canadian Pacific used on their steam). If you're going to do fantasy schemes at least do them right...

Kibufox cant provide proof as they are currrently both COPING and SEETHING at the fact that they are wrong. never trust a "person" with a furry pfp bro

I've updated the ROSE (save editor) project to add all the new rolling stock so that they can be edited (names, cargo, fuel, water) and I'm working on updating the Buggy Exchange (save editor) to handle the names that were throwing errors before.

https://github.com/JennyKmu/RRO_savefile_editor/releases/tag/v0.3.11
I've only added the pyz (you need python) version at this point, still trying to get the stand-alone exe to compile. I'll add it if/when I can.

Ever thought that it might be based off of something in existence. Some things aren't but I'm just saying.

bro he is literally asking kibu for proof this scheme existed (which it doesnt), i dont mentally comprehend what you thought he meant but theres the explanation

Hi Kitsune,

I'd gladly invite you out to the Museum, or to a call over discord to discuss all of the points you've made in this thread, if you'd like. You're correct I don't know much about narrow gauge history, but it doesn't take much...

Sincerely,
Hyce

Sorry Hyce, I'm all out of points to give you an award for that post. Love your content BTW. Keep up the good work! :-)

keep on with the great content Hyce, and keep on living the dream driving real steam trains at the museum. love seeing your videos!
