Fun fact about the S282 rearranged mod: Locomotives with out lead trucks are much more likely to derail than a standard S282 and conversely, versions with 4 wheel lead trucks are much less likely to derail at speed. So drive carefully with your new 0-8-2, or, ya know, don't.
To Hyce, ES&D CDO Fees and fines cost before being paid off at the end of your shift was 107,889.66 dollars. We appreciated you paying your fees in full. Thank you for paying off your fees and fines.

Random ES&D enjoyer Grigor423 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've missed this. (Edit, I'm sorry you got burnt out on train games, I can completely understand especially since you main job is also making a train game)
The US did have plenty of steam in urban areas during the steam age. I think the difference is just that they didn’t over-stoke the locomotives like modern US tourist railroads do, so there were less cinders and soot to begin with. I think that the reason that Britain had a problem may be that their small loading gauge limited the size of their cylinders, which prevented them from getting enough draft to have a properly self-cleaning smokebox. Additionally, the tendency to use a damper in Europe might have meant that in many low power conditions, the locomotive might not have been physically able to create enough draft to self-clean the smokebox, leading to cinders accumulating in it during those periods and requiring cleaning anyway.
Many later Uk engines did have self cleaning smoke boxes, including all of the BR Standard designs, you can tell which have self cleaning by the letters “SC” on the smoke box door (or nearby, depending on the engine)
To directly quote from Wikipedia “British Railways standard classes use this design, where a robust mesh grille is incorporated into the smokebox, forming a filter between the front tubeplate and the exhaust. Any large pieces of char passing through the boiler tubes tend to be broken up on impact with the mesh, creating finer particles that are swept up into the chimney instead of accumulating in the bottom of the smokebox. This does not negate the need to clean out the smokebox but reduces the amount of work that has to be done. In the best-case scenario, smokebox cleaning would be necessary only between boiler washouts, typically at intervals of two weeks.”
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d love a Turntables 101 video. The VRE is apparently planning to build a new one when they build their new layover facility north of Union Station, and it’d be cool to know more about them
9 minutes in and "Smells Like Kenosha". 🤣👍 I get the burnout thing. Just glad you're back. UA-cam has a terrible "Red Queen" effect. I'll never get to play Derail Valley, so I enjoy watching you do it.
Glad to hear you’re doing better, whenever you need to take a break or anything else, feel free to. Your health and happiness is the most important, take care of yourself first. Good to see another great video from you, thank you.
I just woke up and in the tired daze of it thought the thumbnail whas a photograph and that hyce really fucked up for a moment. Glad to know it was just derail valley lol.
Your honesty is appreciated, Mark. As someone who has spent years in similar “rivet-county” positions in the aviation industry, I often find it hard to turn off the nitpicky side of my brain. It’s negatively impacted relationships and my own personal enjoyment of hobbies at times similar to you, and it’s a hard blind spot to accept. This is especially true when anything less than total pedantry in your professional life can potentially put lives at risk. All this to say, I’ve been in the same place you are, and strive to improve myself every day. And I’m totally supportive and happy to see you following the same path.

Glad to have you back Hyce. Im really glad you took care of yourself. Burnout is rough. And im glad you did the things you needed to do. Also from the sounds of it with making pologies to who needs them and how you apologized to us you seem to have handled your mistakes well. And i really freaking respect that. Ive been enjoying the irl train stuff too so i guess thanks and i appreciate your existance and how you step up to your mistakes. I hope you have a good day and stay well.
Take your time and do what you need for your self first. UA-cam can wait and think I speak for all of us but your viewers are loyal and we won’t go anywhere.
Burnout is the whole reason that I decided to take a spur of the moment week long vacation and do a road trip. Stopping by the museum was just one of those things where I went what the heck is another 6 hours of drive time. Got to fully decompress from work and see friends that I haven’t seen for years. Thanks for all the great content.
With respect to VR: I find that seated VR with my Quest 2 is the most enjoyable way to play DV in VR. You don't have to worry about staying centered in your clear area while walking around. You just move using the controllers and lean around when you need to reach something. It might be easier to fit that way.
Hyce (As he's manically riding his handcart with Kenosha): "Yes! Listen to my Cherry MX Blues! Oh." *hops off as the hand cart bins it on the curve and goes into the dirt in the bushes* "Bye~! Thank you for your service!" Show how much our favorite YT foamer always channels his Kenosha for our entertainment
Just an idea; make a separate video about railroads online that way when people ask about it just say " go whatch the video" again, just an idea, not trying to trigger anyone or make anyone mad. Also not trying to pressure you hyce but I see a lot of people asking about it and it probably gets annoying sometimes. Just know you are ( and forever) my favorite youtuber and will ( and forever) be on the top of my most whatched list.
Feels good to be back in the valley!! And I'm really happy to hear that you're now in a better mental state. Taking care of yourself is indeed pretty important :)
On European smokeboxes: Swedish steamers were quite neat in that they had internal spark arresters and cinder cones. Below the smokebox is a cast iron funnel with a plate at the bottom and when you yank the plate out the soot and cinders can be raked down the funnel into a tube between the frames into the ash pit. No shovelling required. I believe it was inspired by American designs.
Hyce, Kenosha gives me hella paranoia by this point. Especially when it plays in IRL videos. XP Edit: And I thought Ahnold's "I LIED" was from Commando.
You know what makes the 0-8-2 even more cursed is the fact they actually existed. My beloved Grand Trunk Western actually rebuilt a handful of their Mikados into 0-8-2s between 1936 & 37 to replace their 5 class P-4-d 0-8-0s which were equipped with abnormally large (for a steam switcher) 56in drivers for use on heavy interchange drags in the Chicago & Detroit areas. Needless to say, crews came to despise the P-4-ds for their rough ride at speed and all 5 were permanently reassigned to Canadian National by 1942. Ironically, what the class lacked in comfort they more than made up for in power, being some of the most powerful engines “The Trunk” ever owned, putting out a max tractive effort of 55,408lbs
Does anyone know, especially Hyce? Are the Nuke Bombs now broken ? I used to love hauling them in Overhauled! I cant get CCL to work properly in Simulator, Considering loading up an older version of DR just to play with them again if I can, apparently you can roll back also on Steam.
yeah, I'm not surprised you derailed at City South West. That turn is pretty brutal, and while it gives you a limit of 30, it should be lower. I've derailed there going 35, you were going 40.
Good to see the ES&D back on the mainline, at least until Smells like Kenosha starts playing…. 🚂 💥 😂 ETA: Not sure it is completely understood how much of a grind UA-cam can be, and with everything else you are undertaking, totally understandable how it can be overwhelming and frustrating. Glad that you had a break and even more glad that you have decided to return. The save at the turntable and resulting Hyce laugh are what makes the videos the best, so just keep doing what you are doing!
Minor feedback: I'm seeing some bitrate issues even though the resolution is OK. I'm guessing it's probably an OBS setting? If you're back on the newer GPU try making sure hardware accelerated encoding is turned on? It really showed when you came out of the tunnel. The trees just suddenly looked like they were from 1999.
I'm here for the Beanz, Kenosha, the occasional "KHAN!", the places to be notch 10 we die like men! Oh and your knowledge of trains! Also, thank you for letting the rest of us, who didn't know, you were getting burned out. You take whatever time you need to just take care of yourself, be that mentally or physically! Also liked the smol railroady bois videos, and your Kenosha moment on the Grand Scale video was amusing!
About a month ago I was pulling 3 20 car hazmat. Thought I paused it went to the bathroom... Came back spanked in the tunnel by IME.... Instantly turned off the game... I'm to afraid to load it up to see what it's going to cost me 😂😂😂😂
Passengers ?!? Ohhh Dear ... * thinks of a quick song lyric * " We're going off the rails on the Trauma Train.... " Can't use the melody cause someone will get mad .... A friend of mine used to work at the NS humpyard in Allentown , he told me stories of cars picking switches,rolling sideways and boomp on the ground they went ,his quote " just another day on the Rail Road " .. Another fun filled episode ..
1. Never feel trapped creating content for us mark we understand if you would like to take a break 2, the 0-8-2 did exist on the LNER and its just as cursed as it sounds 3, to the "have you ever been ran over by a tank car" comment. I used to work for a car shop and almost yes.. multiple times
19:04: I actually also like listening to your rants comparing the accuracy of the games vs how things were in reality. It's a main differenciator why I watch you and not someone else. Another one.... "It's fine" Edit: "It's fine" Just like in 25:25.
Speaking of games you haven't played in a while: Rail Route's had some updates and there's now some shunting in the game! I think you'd quite enjoy it actually (sadly, you cannot kick the passenger cars though)
Everyone needs a break. Hence vacations we all need to unplug and recharge. Glad you're back! Super curious on your thoughts of the new update for railroads online.
Glad to hear you are doing better, I was definitely concerned after the railroader stream... Rang true a little bit as we are trying to teach my son "your playing a game, if it's making you cross go do something else!". Very different circumstances obviously, but good that a step back for a while has helped clear the mind a bit, the UA-cam grind can do terrible things to what is left of our sanity if we let it. Thanks for all you do to in the name of smiles and preservation 😁
By the way cleaning smokeboxes is the most fun thing to do, especially if you have been running the train for half the day up the a really steep narrow gauge line as a stoaker without any replacement crew. (Well not without a second crew but without a man that helps you durning the up going part of the journey. Our working day looked like that: Crew one comes early in the morning and starts prepairing the loco. Second crew comes an hour bevore departure and takes over the loco and shunts the train + loco to the plattform to pick up the passengers then they take the train up the line. Loco makes really great noises. After the train makes it to the end of the line crew one takes over, puts loco on the other end of the train, coasts down the line. At the beginning point crew two takes over again, shunts train home, brings loco home, cleans smokebox and ashbox goes home wakes up the next day with an awful pain in every single muscle of their body ´cause they were not in form and never went to the gym in their lives. I´m more often working in crew two than in crew one. By the way I work at the Waldviertelbahn. )
anyone else wisching, that there would be more than one kenoscha song so i dont get spoilers? :D .... also about nitpicking (bluetooth, pipes to nowhere, etc.) .... do it, but be littme more diplomatic about it :)
Can you please do a video about that small switcher And yes when you upload as much as you do and volunteer at a museum with so much work its no wonder you had burn out, As a big history enfuseists with other hobbys like science, engineering and others its very hard for me to watch movies with friends and family.. so i just stick to my own alot more... But you.. its your job, that must make it alot worse for you as you get nit picky even more And ye its fun but i agree its a pain ae i said.... But as always thank you for your education and entertainment service
Hyce brother as another fellow railroader and railroad preservationist I feel your pain with the choo choo games and content creation on the tickytockies but I found one rule that helps me get through the burnouts… I get paid to be safe and keep the trains on the track in real life in either maintenance or operations. So in the games I pretty much let my inner Casey Jones out and see how much of the envelope I can push before I know the physics shouldnt allow it or the stuffs just gets all Kenosha but that’s my thoughts on that one for ya brother… cuzz I kinda figured it out after watching that video waiting at interchange for NS to bring us our slopedy boys and going back to finish it and it wasn’t there lol Your in my prayers glad all is well and you took your time getting back to what we’re both passionate about the choochoos Cheers from Your high iron brother in the East Grayson
I tried Youtubing for a while, got stuck on Cities Skylines but wanted to play other games. Got near no views on the other games, and so there was pressure to keep cities videos releasing despite being burnt out on that game. On top of that, no patreons so no money, so I was like, time to focus more on my job.
Hey Hyce, I was playing around with double heading steam in derail valley and discovered that you can effectively cut out the breaks of one of the locos. If you place one of them in lap, than it does not fight agaisnt sets you place on the other locomotive. While not a true cut off, its worked well for me on sevral trips so far in game
Riding on the cab would be really neat to investigate by video! :D Tell us camera, how did the exhaust behave? How close did the cinders get? How did it change with engine work? How bad does it hurt to be hit with burning coal? (maybe not so much that last one)
I love your videos but it's starting to become an eye sore my guy having to squint to see anything cuz of how dark at least raise the gamma or something
hyce got a new thing? oh god that's doomed to kanosha. but i understand the burnout. its better to pace yourself instead of constantly going all the time.
hyce. how. did you manage to derail a handcart. did you just pick it up and throw it. its not like it has a notch 11. its not like it has a notch at all. you need to go to a derailers anonomus meeting. there friends of hyce there.... oh wait.

I really am. Thanks Bryson! :D
I liked the part where Hyce said "It's derailing time" and derailed all over the place
*FIRE, SMOKE AND STEAM*
Mostly fire.
Oh boy, a 2hr video and Kenosha is starting EARLY LOL
In which Hyce learns that they did in fact model that locos without pilot trucks don’t handle curves very well
lmao, I didn't even consider that
@@Hyce777It’s even worse with the 0-12-0. That thing just tries to derail itself at any speed above like 20kph.

Speaking of games you haven't played in a while: Rail Route's had some updates and there's now some shunting in the game! I think you'd quite enjoy it actually (sadly, you cannot kick the passenger cars though)
new motto should be "Whistle wants refried beans" provided by "Epody Boys"
"Here at the E.S.& D.T. we specialize in creating high speed steam bulldozers."
”There’s a thirty *somewhere* up ahead…”

Oh no
See....what happened there was...you zigged when you should have zagged.
Happens all the time.
Everyone needs a break. Hence vacations we all need to unplug and recharge. Glad you're back! Super curious on your thoughts of the new update for railroads online.
Glad to hear you are doing better, I was definitely concerned after the railroader stream... Rang true a little bit as we are trying to teach my son "your playing a game, if it's making you cross go do something else!". Very different circumstances obviously, but good that a step back for a while has helped clear the mind a bit, the UA-cam grind can do terrible things to what is left of our sanity if we let it.
Thanks for all you do to in the name of smiles and preservation 😁
By the way cleaning smokeboxes is the most fun thing to do, especially if you have been running the train for half the day up the a really steep narrow gauge line as a stoaker without any replacement crew. (Well not without a second crew but without a man that helps you durning the up going part of the journey. Our working day looked like that: Crew one comes early in the morning and starts prepairing the loco. Second crew comes an hour bevore departure and takes over the loco and shunts the train + loco to the plattform to pick up the passengers then they take the train up the line. Loco makes really great noises. After the train makes it to the end of the line crew one takes over, puts loco on the other end of the train, coasts down the line. At the beginning point crew two takes over again, shunts train home, brings loco home, cleans smokebox and ashbox goes home wakes up the next day with an awful pain in every single muscle of their body ´cause they were not in form and never went to the gym in their lives. I´m more often working in crew two than in crew one. By the way I work at the Waldviertelbahn. )
I get the burnout. Take care of yourself first. On game note. Should put the knuckles mod.
31:35 Yes, though in my opinion, it's in a kind of weird spot. It's behind the crosshead and combination lever, in front of the lead drive axle.
Btw im a big fan of your channel, I watched your videos since the time you played steam and steel on Roblox with Greg Tame
20 cars of booze??? IT'S THE DAMNED SEABEES AGAIN!
56:07 Wot a?!
anyone else wisching, that there would be more than one kenoscha song so i dont get spoilers? :D .... also about nitpicking (bluetooth, pipes to nowhere, etc.) .... do it, but be littme more diplomatic about it :)
The turntable in Albuquerque that is being restored is a diesel-hydraulic unit. It would be a cool addition to the Turntables 101 video.
Can you please do a video about that small switcher
And yes when you upload as much as you do and volunteer at a museum with so much work its no wonder you had burn out,
As a big history enfuseists with other hobbys like science, engineering and others its very hard for me to watch movies with friends and family.. so i just stick to my own alot more... But you.. its your job, that must make it alot worse for you as you get nit picky even more
And ye its fun but i agree its a pain ae i said.... But as always thank you for your education and entertainment service
Hyce brother as another fellow railroader and railroad preservationist I feel your pain with the choo choo games and content creation on the tickytockies but I found one rule that helps me get through the burnouts…
I get paid to be safe and keep the trains on the track in real life in either maintenance or operations.
So in the games I pretty much let my inner Casey Jones out and see how much of the envelope I can push before I know the physics shouldnt allow it or the stuffs just gets all Kenosha but that’s my thoughts on that one for ya brother… cuzz I kinda figured it out after watching that video waiting at interchange for NS to bring us our slopedy boys and going back to finish it and it wasn’t there lol
Your in my prayers glad all is well and you took your time getting back to what we’re both passionate about the choochoos
Cheers from Your high iron brother in the East Grayson
I tried Youtubing for a while, got stuck on Cities Skylines but wanted to play other games.
Got near no views on the other games, and so there was pressure to keep cities videos releasing despite being burnt out on that game.
On top of that, no patreons so no money, so I was like, time to focus more on my job.
Universal time or Greenwich Mean Time -5 hours is CDT so MDT would be -6
Wahey! Would you look at that.
Three derailments, one and a half extra shunting jobs and two recording sessions and he still gets his time bonus!
Hey Hyce, I was playing around with double heading steam in derail valley and discovered that you can effectively cut out the breaks of one of the locos.
If you place one of them in lap, than it does not fight agaisnt sets you place on the other locomotive. While not a true cut off, its worked well for me on sevral trips so far in game

There were at least four of the US exports - the S118 also existed. Likely others too?
Just have fun playing the game, and maybe do stuff that you just can't do in real life. :)
Riding on the cab would be really neat to investigate by video! :D Tell us camera, how did the exhaust behave? How close did the cinders get? How did it change with engine work? How bad does it hurt to be hit with burning coal? (maybe not so much that last one)
@Hyce are flanges strong enough to hold locomotive weight or they get damaged when you derail?
ask Lawrie from LMM with your British loco questions
I love your videos but it's starting to become an eye sore my guy having to squint to see anything cuz of how dark at least raise the gamma or something
You get a flat spot! And you get a flat spot! And you get a flat spot! Everyone gets a flat spot!!!
Hyce what game are you going to do for July 4th? Railroader or Derail Valley
If you left the game running while you were gone, you definitely aren't making the time bonus
hyce got a new thing? oh god that's doomed to kanosha.
but i understand the burnout. its better to pace yourself instead of constantly going all the time.
Dude watching youtube is unfortunately all i can so to "take care of" myself
hyce. how. did you manage to derail a handcart. did you just pick it up and throw it. its not like it has a notch 11. its not like it has a notch at all. you need to go to a derailers anonomus meeting. there friends of hyce there.... oh wait.
I have the same problem with my mic input going down to 20 or 30%
One of these days we are gonna get trolled with an anticlimactic smells like Kenosha. Just to keep us on our toes lol
Glad to see you're back at it! John Doe, beware...
I'd really like to try the multiplayer mod for Derail with someone, sadly non of my friends own or wanna own the game
