- In this video, we're checking out the brand new model of the Union Pacific Challenger in Train Simulator Classic! We are again joined by Justin, the beta tester for Smokebox; and by Smokebox himself! Unfortunately his microphone didn't work so we just got comments via chat, but it was great to get to run around with his creation with him.
The model is fantastic, and the textures are top-tier! Absolutely wonderful.

Apologies for my god-like reverb, my office has been completely redone and it's very "live" in here now that all of my acoustic stuff is packed up to move!

Me, a 3D train modeler: *furiously takes notes to apply to my own models*
*yes* good
Personally I prefer the early challengers instead of the late, something about the central headlamp just makes it look complete
Yeah a 3800 class would be awesome!
Same! Same with the N&W M class, their late in service look with the centered headlight just makes it look more modern and sharp!
The late ones are the best
When you do a articulated locomotive, I hope you can find the artist rendering of a quintuplex 2-10-10-10-10-10-2 that was in the August 1951 Trains or the patent for a 2-8-8-8-8-8-2.
How about putting one of the Clinchfield: Elkhorn City to St. Paul? They did have them, labeled as E-3s. Would be neat to see how they would fair there, in proper livery or not.
I've almost got the Clinchfield E-3 ready (it'll be a free, automatically downloaded, update to the pack).
Honestly, I think the next step is get the N&W J-Class in this game, since the sheer detail and work out into the 844, Big Boy and Challanger shows Smokeboxes capabilities for American steam locos.
This looks amazing. Been waiting a while for this one.
The Challenger looks beautiful. Love the whistles and the features. Jolly good show Hyce @Hyce
love your video hyce and the Challenger steam train is cool and have a great day.
He really deserves a break after all the hard work he’s been putting in. Godspeed Smokebox
Says a lot about the steam generation if it has 5 safeties
Smokebox, is a master with these engines.
Modeling this beauty must’ve been a massive challenge ;)
I have tried the Challenger and I absolutely love it!
Oooh this looks incredible! Smokebox has outdone himself again. When do we get some narrow gauge stuff of this quality? My Clear Creek route is collecting digital dust since there’s nothing this engaging to run up there!
I would love that too!
Nothing like extreme metal expansion and contraction over the course of 6 minutes :)
sweet vid
I want to hear about the time Trevor's fire went out the stack.
Engineer went to hook up the bar with both hands, 346 decided she wanted it all the way in the corner and it took him forever to get the throttle closed and bar re-set. She slipped for probably a good 8-10 seconds and literally half of the fire was just gone.
@@Hyce777 She was very hungry.
@@Hyce777 this is what happens when you don't give your engine wheel scritches, has to do it itself
A major accomplishment in what DTG would have us believe is a dead physics engine. This could have been done 10 years ago if Dovetail let it happen organically. Smokebox and a handful of 3rd party route creators has shown how little of Phys X was utilized by the parent company. Follow the money trail. DTG plods out another TSW edition begging for your hard earned money like it's tomorrow's paper. Most of it looks like TSC with slightly better roadbed and a few more 4K textures. How many more years before they give us route creation? Shame on them. Beautiful and best steam locomotive bar none on any platform. Smokebox is a genius.
I use to work for a tourist rr here in wv as a mechanic. Turning wheels on the f-7s is a nightmare. Getting the throat of the flange correct is ridiculously hard.
Dang that's a beautiful steam engine
Awesome. Begs the question if we're going to see a Smokebox 9000 to round off the UP Steam superpower list?
I certainly hope we see one :)
Thats a very very big Choo Choo :0
10:52 "must have been quite a challenge"
>looks into camera
also you put some respect on F units lol if nothing else they're purty
great
Gorgeous is right!
I wish there was a variation or a way to have a key binding to set it to have a classic central headlamp
I'm hoping that he can build an oil firing version of the Challenger and a 4014 excursion version. Then maybe an early Challenger or a 9000. But I may be dreaming a bit lol
Must go fast!!!!!!!!
Challengers and big boys are the largest steam locomotives union pacific fleet
I live near the town 844 had the flat spot incident
Hyce, wasn't sure who else to ask, but the curiosity is killing me! How are double headed steam locos operated smoothly and efficiently? Do the engineers have hand signals, but lead controls brakes? I'm sure I'm overthinking it alot, but how does it work?
Lead controls brakes, and everything else is feel. :)
@@Hyce777 Thanks! I bought the Big Boy yesterday. Needed to scratch that knowledge itch. I Double Headed 6.5kt over sherman hill.
Whistle 2 is from 3985
Can’t wait for 3985 to return to steam
I've been wondering, the Big Boy has a higher official top speed than the Challenger (80 mph vs 70 mph), but the Challenger has slightly larger drivers than the Big Boy (69" vs 68") and it is the smoothest riding articulated steam locomotive. One would think in theory, the Challenger can go faster than the Big Boy.
I'd agree, that makes sense to me..
At some point in time would it be possible to have a chat re the simulation numbers when the start a train and thresholds for slipping.
That would be a neat thing to discuss!
@@Hyce777 we seem to be able to replicate steam performance once we get going but it’s those first few turns of our driving wheels that concern me. Right now our numbers allow a driver to hit 50% throttle with the reverser in the corner and it will not slip. I think that way way wrong but we don’t know what we don’t know to fix it.
So we've got Larj Lad and Challenger...Allegheny next?
hi this
is wyatt
Dyk that 3985’s tender was used on 4014?
Yup
16:17 i paid for a safety factor of 4, im gonna use it god damnit
I bought this DLC and absolutely love it. Is the speedometer intentionally left out?
They didn't have them.
@@Hyce777 Smokebox just informed me about this on social media. I never would’ve guessed.
That was fast
what's up with the reverberation in you voice? You in a tunnel or something?
Lol! A freshly remodeled office that no longer has any acoustic treatment :P
Imma say it, imo Challengers>Big Boys
Hi Mark how’s it going hey I was wondering do you know how the C&TS rests there water on the railroad when they stop at a water stop? Also do you know why some of the tenders on the UPs big 3 had Super bearing caps on the trailing truck and tender trucks? Thanks ahead of time and I hope we can chat soon. Your freind Jeff aka NW611J.
I do not understand what you mean re: the C&TS; and I have no idea about the bearing caps.
They had Timken roller bearings to drastically reduce the friction losses. They were very free-rolling.
@@Hyce777 aww my bad man I was just wondering if the water in the towers was treated or if they added treatment when they took water.
@@Smokebox yes I know what roller bearings are they great bearings and that’s why they still use them today lol. Do you know why the UP never used roller bearing rods like the N&W did? I know they didn’t work like UP wanted them too but never knew the reason behind that.
@@nw611J The Big Three (FEF-3, Big Boy, Challenger) do actually have roller bearings for the rods.
It will build quick-man who does not know hyce
So what is your fav rail game? I’m a pilot and have found I still enjoy flight sims and games, but I tend to like more realism than a non pilot probably does.
Hard to say what my favorite is. For a true hardcore sim, these smokebox locomotives in train simulator classic are the best.
Wen you are speaking there's a little reverp and it sounds like you are in a room alone.
Yup! Office is all cleaned out and the lack of acoustic treatment plus fresh painted walls and a new ceiling
will you look at the models for Train Simulator by Machine Rail?
I did pick up the WM 2-8-0, but it's not really as compelling to operate so I was less interested in doing a video.
@@Hyce777 what about the Cookes?
the Moguls did get a release on the Steam Store, and I believe they plan to do the same with the Connies
@@train0996 perhaps? I have not looked into those. Didn't realize they made them. That could be fun.
They went to Clinchfield rr
What map is this? It looks cool😎
Wasatch Grade.
what happened to the dd40? im too stupid to be able to find anything
Was there ever one for this game?
@@Hyce777 no I meant, y'all mentioned one in texas I wanted to know the story
@@littlepastelkitten oh. they lost comm with it from the 844 and it was stuck in run 8, it slid all of 844's wheels flat trying to stop it.
@@Hyce777 lol oof expensive fail, must have been cool to see tho
Do you think that the challenger gets over looked alot
Certainly. Folks love the big boy too much. Both are very cool.
Which map is this?
What route is this?
Wasatch Grade
Hyce will smokebox make a up 9000?
I would love it if he did! I am not sure what he's working on next.
4-12-2 good luck getting it around any degree of corner.
@@ninjia7347 remember, the 9000's so long they had to make her steer just so she 'could' turn
@@halfgecko3202 what do you mean steer?
@@ninjia7347 she's so long they had to make her number 1 and 6 axles pivot just so she could manage the turns and switches found on the lines she ran
So does the engine
Hi 🚂🚂🚂
Maybe 3977 and 3985 will double head
22:07 Claude Trains?
Not sure
Need a Big Boy
Yo we've had the big boy in like 3 videos lol
Game?
Train simulator
Uh, I don't think there's a Steam Engine that has a wheel arrangement of 2-10-10-10-10-10-2 or 2-8-8-8-8-8-2 well not that I've seen, because I'm searching on UA-cam and I can't find any sources on those specific Steam Wheel Arrangements that were actually a success during 1936-1963 and goes on, so if you guys have any evidence that these locomotives actually exist, please by all means, do some research, and message me, or reply to this comment.
I'm Skye and I'll S'yall on PAW Patrol.
I honestly Prefer Eastern Steam Power Houses like the Allegheny Class or Pennsylvania Steam Locomotives. The Challenger or Big Boy are Both Really Nice Modeled Awesome Mod locomotives Smokebox built but in my opining are so over played by everyone and gets annoying and really old fast the Big Boy or Challenger can't compete with as such Raw Power as what the Eastern Railroads were doing. Largest Steam Locomotive Ever Built the Allegheny Class 2-6-6-6 C&O Most will say UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4 as that's a Lie, Blueprints Don't lie people only people online Lie as taking a closer look at the Allegheny shows that Massive Firebox and Smokebox Larger Steam Pistons just to name a few. Big Boy only has Length over any other Steam Locomotive on the Planet. The Big Boy or the Challenger aren't even on the Top 3 All time Most Powerful Steam Locomotives Ever Built. No.1 The Q2 Pennsylvania 4-6-4-4 being the Most Powerful ever built and doing it all from Climbing grades with more Freight to running at speeds higher than any other pulling more single handed, No. 2 The Yellowstone 2-8-8-4 Pushing the Limits of Power, No. 3 Allegheny Class C&O 2-6-6-6. You would think the Virgina Railway with the 2-8-8-8-4 would be the Topmost Powerful as it was but the Horsepower has shown that it's top speed of 18mph and not being able to Climb grades with more than 32 Freight cars makes it very disappointing sounding was a downfall of its build as it's considered to Be the Strongest ever Made but was only used for 8 months says it wasn't something Special as the Pennsy Q2 was that lasted 13 years in service. The Allegheny Steam Class would EAT both the Challenger & Big Boy up if made Correct as a in game Locomotive just by the scale size of them.
PS. just a Note so anyone that doesn't believe this to be true, Don't Wikipedia it as that Program isn't true to nature as You or myself can change the facts of anything on how that Search Engine works. My info is direct as it came from Washington DC Library Historical Artifacts, if ever been you're not allowed to take out anything but can Photocopy almost anything in their archives that Proves its 100% Legit As these 3 Steam Locomotives are.
hyce when was the last time you even made a video on challenger
smh
@@ChaosAgent1218 what?
edit:can i not ask hyce when the last time he made a video on challenger
@@trainanimator8150 this is his first challenger video
@@Johndoe-jd thats kinda
sad
