Welp sorry I posted this late, I was working on the very efficient thumbnail I swear! Anyway, check out the free Train Valley World demo now: tblink.co/RCETrain
The town names seem to be connected to railway history. Motala is a town in Sweden which had a locomotive factory back in the day. Creusot in France has an Alstom factory and high speed rail lines. Birkenhead has the Mersey railway. 🤔
Le Creusot is also home to a gigantic forge where they make nuclear reactor vessels, very cool place when they're not involved in corruption and fraud.
I used to live in Birkenhead. nice to see my hometown in a game :) also Janus (rhymes with bum-hole) "In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of doors, gates, and transitions". often depicted as having two faces, hence the double ended locomotive.
the double ended train is called double fairlie, there are some at Ffestiniog railway, so if you want to see some in real life, that's the best place to see them
After watching this I gave it a shot and got 1:08:12 which puts me 3:12 over the time limit and just shy of 3 stars. Managed the other goals but I lost time in not starting the copper pipe train as soon as possible (I wanted to complete the copper city mission first) and forcing it and the steel goal train to share a good bit of track and 1 station meaning a few times they had to wait for each other. A very fun little puzzle game that could use a few improvements such as being able to tell a train which station platforms it should use or which path to take to get to it's destination (since the shortest might be shared by a few trains while the longer is better for a "direct" line). Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
one thing I don't think I've seen IRL with train networks that I'd love to see more of is what I refer to as "diverter rails" - essentially, instead of the main line going right through a station, the station splits off from the main line and then re-merges on the other end, allowing trains that aren't going to a particular station to just go by without even going through the platform. Also allows stations to be worked on, renovated and so on without just closing that whole line. It's essentially just a single extra bit of redundancy that lets the entire system run smoother when spots undergo maintenance.
Any time you rate a bridge lower than 6, I have to compare it to the wooden one in Hydroneer that you gave a 5.9. I understand the reasoning behind the 5.9, but I have to think it was vastly overrated.
I loved Matt saying "two and a half grand?" with a question at the end. He did the math correctly, he knew he did. He just also knew if he had gotten it wrong and it made it into a video (and his editors would "let that slip" I bet), we would all call him an architect, forever.
As Adam Hinckley said, the double train is based on the double fairlie, it is a super cursed design but apparently they were pretty good!. They had 2 boilers and 2 fireboxes, but they were joined together so the driver and fireman were separated, the fireman had 2 firedoors on the sides of the firebox
The double ended engine is a Double Fairlie, they’re common notably on the Ffestiniog. The Double Fairlie design was 2 locomotives put together as obvious as it looks, bug it has 2 boilers and separate injectors, which meant the design wasn’t used much outside Wales. There were also locomotives that were single Fairlies, which was more successful because it wasn’t twice the engine to maintain. The oldest operating Fairlie today is a Mason Bogie named Torch Lake.
You should really try OpenTTD. It's a lot more realistic: trains can't just magically spin around on the tracks, or drive over other trains on the same tracks. It's actually really satisfying to have active networks full of dozens of trains, where you have to worry about signalling, roundabouts, bypasses and removing bottlenecks.
I abdolutely LOVED the original Train Valley. Really sad how much their other games differ from that first one in gameplay; TVW reminds me more of Railway Empire than of Train Valley.
It might be time to re-review your old bridge scores. I feel like this one was a lot more usefull then some that got a higher score in the past. And it looks stable and can hold a lot of weight.
Hey RCE, about timeberborners The beavers don't get contaminated if they walk over infected ground, only if they go in badwater if a beaver is contaminated they can't work. Now to the badwater season: all the water sources will make badwater.
That looks neat and cozy - tried the demo right away and failed the goal xD However two things I noticed: you can up-/downgrade trains when selecting them. Also there is no reason to keep "lucrative" lines going because of the limit of 10 trains it's better to repurpose them as you cannot do everything efficiently.
Decided to try the demo after watching this video. Got a 3* completion on my first try, though TBH that's mostly just because I saw how you did it, so I wasn't really going in cold. Also, got the mission completed at 1:04:58 out of 1:05:00. So that was fun.
I have one major complaint about this game Birkenhead isn't anywhere near accurate. Not enough tire fires, dinosaurs or incest. I should know, I'm a scouser
i played so much of that game as a kid, it was great. really wish there was a more modern game similar to that. I know of games like open ttd but those just feel like "transport logistics manager" and not "train logistics manager"
The bad water will flow from all water sources when a bad tide starts.... It does ruin everything. Have to redirect the water before it gets to your city when a bad tide starts
What you should do is figure out roughly how much that train with those 3 big hoppers full of sand would weigh in polygrams, and then make a custom level in polybridge 3 where you build the bridge that can support it
I could tell this was a sponsored video with the title. Do sponsorers do that overlay for youtubers? Or does RCE use a particular cutting tool for this? Just curious..
Matt you live in wales and don’t know the ffestiniog railway where they have what’s called a Double Fairlie locomotive if you love trains which I think you do you need to visit it it’s amazing 🤩
First of all, watching the video is only about "will there be a Bridge Review? :D And the second one, Thanks to the all mighty RCE, for growing my wish list on Steam. Is there golden shovel for money digging? :)

sus
Your late even writing this
No worries Matt!
Yay!!!
Are we entirely sure that you are not Alan?
This gives me an idea: build a city in cities skylines that uses only trains for transportation.
I had the very same thought
Like this so he sees
Yessss. A train-only district on Engitwopia
Please like this so matt sees it... Great idea
why do you say it like that, yk i meant to like the idea of this dude so matt sees it right?@@RininGamingYT
The town names seem to be connected to railway history. Motala is a town in Sweden which had a locomotive factory back in the day. Creusot in France has an Alstom factory and high speed rail lines. Birkenhead has the Mersey railway. 🤔
i was wondering why birkenhead made the cut 🤣
Well, it is home to the "Wirral Transport museum and heritage tramway"
I am swedish so I spotted Motala. one of my local railways had a lot of Motala trains.
Le Creusot is also home to a gigantic forge where they make nuclear reactor vessels, very cool place when they're not involved in corruption and fraud.
I'm actually from Le Creusot! Was really surprised to see the name show up!!

Also, the Trench loco looks like a Baldwin, used in WW1 to take supplies to the front. There are a few in preservation on narrow gauge lines in the UK

You should ask the game dev to implement a feature that lets you build bridges if you send proof of an engineering degree.
Do you think they would accept a resume that has an engineer somewhere in the title?

Im a simple man. I see RCE with a knob on the game he’s playing, i click. 👌🏼
i'm a simple man too. I read the word "click" as "dick"
I loved Matt saying "two and a half grand?" with a question at the end. He did the math correctly, he knew he did.
He just also knew if he had gotten it wrong and it made it into a video (and his editors would "let that slip" I bet), we would all call him an architect, forever.
£2000 to travel such a short distance by train? Sounds like the devs have taken inspiration from the UK railways!
Matt trying his hardest to enunciate Cog for UA-cam captions gave me a nice chuckle
Yeah. If you mispronounce it it sound like c🍆ck
You should try railroad tycoon 3 if you like trains. Its a fairly old game at this point, but was implemented very well.
Might as well go all the way back because each successive Railroad Tycoon game was a dumbed down version of the previous one.
Railroad Corporation is also basically this game but with more Stuff
3:09 "See this cog you weren't paying attention to? Ignore it for now..." ROFL
This is if Sid Meier's Railroads and Transport Fever had a baby
This game is like OpenTTD had a baby with Civilization.
Finally! Was worried something happened to Matt!
As Adam Hinckley said, the double train is based on the double fairlie, it is a super cursed design but apparently they were pretty good!.

Basically OpenTTD, but a little bit more modern 😃
i had openTTD on my laptop its fun (especially when you make it so that your starting lone is 90M XD
Anyone else audibly groan when Matt destroyed that tree right before the bridge review? 😅😆
You should really try OpenTTD. It's a lot more realistic: trains can't just magically spin around on the tracks, or drive over other trains on the same tracks. It's actually really satisfying to have active networks full of dozens of trains, where you have to worry about signalling, roundabouts, bypasses and removing bottlenecks.
At least Paddy's OK.
I wonder what would happen if Matt played OpenTTD
I like this, it's like Mashinky light. Very cool stuff
0:10 "Cow shed"? Do you mean "Barn"? 😆
See, what gets me is Matt not upgrading his earlier trains to better ones.
pretty sure Creusot is pronounced as "Crew-so", but I could be wrong.
I abdolutely LOVED the original Train Valley. Really sad how much their other games differ from that first one in gameplay; TVW reminds me more of Railway Empire than of Train Valley.
It might be time to re-review your old bridge scores.
I feel like this one was a lot more usefull then some that got a higher score in the past. And it looks stable and can hold a lot of weight.
You could engeneer much more advanced trains inf factorio for sure!
This game remains me of transport tycoon. I miss the classics
Hey RCE, about timeberborners
The beavers don't get contaminated if they walk over infected ground, only if they go in badwater if a beaver is contaminated they can't work.
Now to the badwater season: all the water sources will make badwater.
You mean badtide.
@@jameslloydatwil7905 yeah sorry my English is not the best
12:33 a double ended engine is called a double fairlie. They’re pretty much unique to Great Britain.
That looks neat and cozy - tried the demo right away and failed the goal xD
However two things I noticed: you can up-/downgrade trains when selecting them. Also there is no reason to keep "lucrative" lines going because of the limit of 10 trains it's better to repurpose them as you cannot do everything efficiently.
I love playing Bridge Review with my young son!
3:06 This is actually really funny because there's a Swedish town called Motala 😅
I appreciate that you have started using the word stonks
Decided to try the demo after watching this video. Got a 3* completion on my first try, though TBH that's mostly just because I saw how you did it, so I wasn't really going in cold.
Also, got the mission completed at 1:04:58 out of 1:05:00. So that was fun.
24:30 did NOT appreciate the cashback😤
Train Valley 2 was amazing! I see this one as well is great.
Looks very similar to Railgrade, I don't know if you've played that one before.
I NEED MORE ENGINNERRSS BIGGAR BRIDGEEESS LET ME RIDE THAT HORSE (ARCHITECT) SIR!
hi RCE can you make a city with only trains as transportation??
Day 1 of asking RCE to play OpenTTD. I think he would love it.
I have one major complaint about this game
Birkenhead isn't anywhere near accurate. Not enough tire fires, dinosaurs or incest.
I should know, I'm a scouser
I think you'll find the incest is contained mainly to Neston thank you very much
to be fair, we did put out the tire fires...
this game seems pretty fun, I love train games
Used to live next door to Birkenhead on the Wirral. Good little rock pub there 😂 gawd watch RCE, get memories
And I live close to Motala. We were at a rock concert in the old locomotive factory there this summer. 😁🤘
I liked this game when it was called "SId Meier's Railroads!", back in 2006.
i played so much of that game as a kid, it was great. really wish there was a more modern game similar to that. I know of games like open ttd but those just feel like "transport logistics manager" and not "train logistics manager"
in Sweden we have a city called Motala.
I really want to see more of this game!😃 it's so run to watch you do it!
The bad water will flow from all water sources when a bad tide starts.... It does ruin everything. Have to redirect the water before it gets to your city when a bad tide starts
Would love to see this upon release.
What you should do is figure out roughly how much that train with those 3 big hoppers full of sand would weigh in polygrams, and then make a custom level in polybridge 3 where you build the bridge that can support it
Rochefort is a realy city in the french part of Belgium (:
This game remembers me Sid Meyer Railroads I used to play when I was younger, loved that game and will probably give this game a go
I see what you did there. Building the triple intersections in the other strongest shape.👍👌
16:14 I honestly thought matt was just going to get his coal from the other side of the map.
Well, had to restart a few times, but managed to get all the bonus stars. That time limit is reasonably aggressive.
I already know matt's voice tone when a video is sponsered😂 I watch way too many of his videos
You definitely got to play this again
This reminds me a vastly simplified version of Railway Empire (which is a great game I might add).
I need a railway round-about.
You should play Transport Fever 2.
It's the same but better, more engineering.
Anybody else notice the thumbnail changed from tracks in the form of the strongest shape to just regular tracks? Such ashame, was a great thumbnail 😂
RCE you need to make this a series like the; city skylines, and polybrige
@realcivilengineergaming
Flashbacks to Trains in timberborners
I think the double sided engine is called the double farly maybe
I could tell this was a sponsored video with the title. Do sponsorers do that overlay for youtubers? Or does RCE use a particular cutting tool for this? Just curious..
This reminds me of Sid Meier's Railroads!
Hay Matt, can you not build like a huge roundabout that goes around all the towns and then just have tracks branching of to where they need to go ?
Calling the mine cart a mini train sent me 😂
Matt you live in wales and don’t know the ffestiniog railway where they have what’s called a Double Fairlie locomotive if you love trains which I think you do you need to visit it it’s amazing 🤩
I was afraid there wouldn't be a video today😢
I'm shocked that you didn't pronounce the Janus train as Jay-Nuss. Like the prank Hugh Janus.
Oooooo this looks like Station to Station. Have you tried that one?
So, Love the channel! But what are your thoughts on the workers that have to work on what you have built? Just giving you a little jab lol.
I'd love to see Matt re-visit Jurassic World Evolution 2 now that it's had 2 years of updates and expansions since his last visit.
I saw the notification for this video and thought “trains… sounds good”.
i need more of this
now I can download the Demo :D
Double tracks in spots that receive high amounts of traffic.
I would have gotten the Janus with the speed boost on all of the train deliveries
First of all, watching the video is only about "will there be a Bridge Review? :D
And the second one, Thanks to the all mighty RCE, for growing my wish list on Steam. Is there golden shovel for money digging? :)
Pls play timberland more. I am to invested in the series to be waiting this long.
I think I am experiencing withdrawel symptons
You should nickname the Janus as Hugh. Hugh Janus.
This is very similar to Transport Fever
I kinda want to to see RCE play pal world
It’s in France!
LOVE THE VIDEO BUT the farmer in me can't help but avoid the fact you don't get hay from wheat so it's either straw or those cows be hungryyyy😂😂😂👀
I love your videos mat!
I want to play with Patty too
Ha, I'm from Birkenhead. It's not so bad.
Trains always just drive through each other in real life.
Day 14 of more peer pressure!!! i.e. Mindustry
Didn't watch it on same day, keep going matt ;)
1:40 Haha, "Janus"
This honestly just feels like easier OTTD with better graphics
I noticed that original thumbnail :P
So, this is basically Railway Empire, but with less thought given into it.
