I bought the Russian Decapod a week or so ago and it really is a great locomotive. I never realized until you pointed out that the third version has a snow skirt. Overall, really great and informative video that really shows you the ends and outs of each engine.
Thanks for the positive comment . . . . . . yes sometimes it is easy to overlook a particular feature of one version . . . . . . . . sometimes I spend considerable time checking this . . but still miss some simple detail . . . . . .
This video held my attention from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the brief overview at the start. awesome stuff!
Thank you for your very kind words . . . . . . it's nice to hear things like this as it provides additional motivation . . . .
the other western Maryland steam locomotive that made it into preservation was a shay that operates to this day
Yes indeed, and Steve Lerro from K & L Trainz has often been fireman on WM engines in the past.
One of the Potomac locomotives was saved for a short period of time before it had a bad derailment and it had to be scrapped but there is a whistle still
I never heard anything about that one . . . . . .. . Thanks
@@colinstrains5885 your welcome
Colin, Thanks for taking the time to perform the tests. I have purchased a few locos from K&L as I model the PRR, Reading, And a local shortline from my home town in Lebanon, Pa. USA. It was called the Cornwall Railroad and ran from Lebanon to the iron ore mines in Cornwall, 8 miles away. I operate on several model layouts of friends and on several, we use helper engines. The "trick" to using helpers is to attempt to have the helpers, (often two other locos) to take up about 1/2 of the train's weight . While shoving, the helper crew checks the slack on the couplers and when they are shoving about 1/2 of the train, they maintain that slack through the shove. When the train reaches the top of the grade, the helpers uncouple, then drift downgrade to a helper "pocket" to wait for the next train. It is a very delicate process. Shove too hard, the train turns into an accordion and a derailment happens. Don't shove hard enough, and the train "string-lines" on curves and is puled off of the rails by the excess drag of the weight of the helpers. It can get very touchy, especially if the owner runs live coal loads. Cars must also be placed in a balanced manner. Light flat cars or short cars can become a problem as they tend to be affected by the physics of trackwork and the forces of the locomotives. I use a Raildriver now for controlling my Trainz and on more than one occasion , I have run out of steam as my experience is low at this point. Your video's help. Thanks again. Nick Kulp
Thanks for that information . . .I did learn something . . . . . . and I continue to be open minded and keep learning . . . . . . while I have driven many diesels it is impossible to get experience with Steam . . . . . . . . I used to ride in the cab of steam locomotives every friday night . . . known as the milk train . . . .. . when I was a teenager, but those days are gone.
Awesome information! Thanks man
Shay no.6 at cass scenic, and an alco s6 at Middletown and hummelstown rr. Also are two operating ex wm.
Thanks for that information . . . I would love to shay a shay working . . .but none in this country
Yay, I thought your channel was dead, but your not! I subscribed!
Hi Nick . . .Apart from month break for Christmas . . .I have been uploading video on a regular (if a little erratic) basis for quite a while . . . what made you think it was dead . . was it the one month break ? . . . .or something else . . please let me know so I can ensure it does not become a problem for others . . . glad you have subscribed . . .
Who Are you lol nah I'm just kidding😘
I liked, and subscribed!
Some Western Maryland Steam Survivors.
Regarding the latter two versions of the engine and tender, I do believe the tenders can be used interchangeably between the engines.
You should try out the K&L Nickel Plate or Pere Marquette berkshires, definately powerhouses
Hi Dom . . . .both the berkshires are older models and don't yet look quite right in TRS2019 . . .as well as in need of a script update . . I believe this will be done by K&L trainz as soon as time permits . . .they have a lot of work to do on the entire roster to take advantage of the new texture features in TRS2019. While they look OK in TRS2019 I prefer to wait until they are at their best. Thanks for the suggestion I will add them to my watch list.
There's another western Maryland engine that been saved from scrap its wmrr number 6 its the only engine of its class built its an upgraded shay
Yes . . . . you are spot on correct . . . .but there is no one that has tried to build a model of it for TRAINZ yet . . . . . .
Colin's Trains unfortunately that one hasn’t been made but I did my research and found a ton of diesels that are original wmrr the two that I know are a fa 1 and road switcher that lives in West Virginia a long with some f3s f7 and a gp9 i think
@@justinhicks4897 well a reskin of a diesel is somewhat simpler than a steamer . . .so you might be able to coax someone to do that for some of the smaller railroads . . . . .
Are you exited for C&O 1309 debut hopefully in July, because she’s so close to being done.
Hi Robert . . . . . a little excite . . but because I am far away in Australia . . and not likely to ever see it live . . I am more frustrated than excited . . . it will be a lovely sight . .seeing it work up the grade on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad . . hope you are close enough to enjoy it . . . . . cheers
So as recommendation before your trains hit the grade let them speed up so they can actually take the grade
I have learnt a lot about steam control since I did this I had an excellent teacher Steve Lerro of K&L Trainz who regularly drives and/or fires real steam engines. However the Trainz version needed a total revision of the physics after this so I feel vindicated.
Colin Where do you find the info on how to run multiple engines. Steam and Diesel Electric
Hi Allan . . . . that is a good question . . . . . . .. I certainly did not find anything very informative . . . . . . . I got my info from K&L trains when I queried steam needing a driver on each locomotive . . . .. . . which makes them exactly like the prototype .. . Multiple Diesels should run with one crew Ok . . they have MU equipment that handles the link to multiple equipment. However if you go to UA-cam and search "How to drive a train in TRAINZ" you will get heaps of videos to choose from . . I suggest try the newer dated ones. Hope that helps.
Why did you speed the video up when the J1 was climbing the hill? I wanted to watch that
Sir plz Trainz review CB&Q K&l locomotive
Right🤤
I have to say, from the outside these models are lovely. However I am disappointed that they all use the big steam interior for a cab view...
The western maryland called their cabooses "cabs"
Thanks AAron . . .I learn something every day . . . .
@@colinstrains5885 I'm from Hagerstown MD so the western maryland is high on my list of favorites. Good job on the video as well. I enjoyed it. Keep it up.
@@aarondivel1752 Thanks Mate . . .Do you ever visit the WM Scenic Railroad ?
@@colinstrains5885 i used to a good bit. Haven't since the georges creek got the WM sd40s and me and some friends went to foam a bit. But it was never one of my hot spots. Of coarse once 1309 gets up and running will have to at some point. But i did spend a lot of after school days working on 202. Believe it or not we used to keep her nice. I've worked on quite a few different scenic railroads but WMSR managed to evade me.
@@aarondivel1752 Well I am glad you have managed to keep the love of trains in your blood . . . . . . even when other priorities can get in the way . . . . . . .
So the 484 out pulled 2 of the 4 10 0s ? Or did I miss something? The Hudsons were a McPowerhouse and beautiful also the British built a few ďarling engines. But we Americans built the biguns and with style and magnificent lines. And the Americans matched the whistles to the engines. Just listen to those Big Boys and Niagras.
The video was a demonstration of the performance of TRAINZ locomotives, and are not necessarily realistic compared to the prototype. This is because the builder of the locomotive models can either use a standard default configuration or can tailor the settings as desired. A couple of the better developers who are consistently getting these settings right are Jointed rail with the diesel models they produce, and K&L Trainz for steamers. K&L for instance has built his steam locomotive roster over a period of nearly 10 years Using TRAINS 12 and TANE ) which were not very realistic with power settings) . However the early settings module was rather crude, and Steve Lerro of K&L Trains has invested in fine tuning those settings over the years, so his newer models often do have power settings that are much closer to the prototype than models build in his early days. Hope that helps understand the limitations we must endure when it comes to performance
Man those are pathetic. 10 loaded coal hoppers up a 1.63% grade should be a walk in the park for a 2-10-0
