Frantic PLEASE SET THE MIN / MAX VALUE FOR YOUR GUAGES!!. For example on pressure 0min 10-12max please the dials spinning drives me nuts. Lol love the loco!!
Hey frantic I think you should build a cargo locomotive a 2-10-10-2 the boiler and the wheels arent cone connected the boiler a stays straight while the wheels turn it can have a hinge in the middle for even more mobility it can have 3 to 4 connected boilers and the articulated design is called simple articulated locomotive like the UP big boy 4014
Some things you're hurting yourself on is that 1, you only have the boilers with the fluid tanks worth of fluid to turn into steam. Once that has equalized from venting, you cannot gain any more steam and if it vents a little more, you're now at a less than optimal level. Having manual fluid feeds into the boiler water lines helps you control this. You should be regulating the flow of coolant from the fireboxes to the boilers. If the pressure gets to 9.6 and an airflow valve on the firebox shuts off, there's still 200+ degree fluid circulating through the boiler, meaning that pressure isn't going to stop rising. There's no reason for it to because it's still heating water. The reason why your closest boiler is doing so poorly is because of heat. I commented on this on the first video of this build. Steam boilers become more efficient the colder the water is that goes into the boiler for the steam conversion. Because radiators release heat into the air and you've enclosed every radiator in the engine casing, it gets progressively hotter the further back you go when you're traveling. You also have them surrounded with heaters for some reason. You've basically crippled the last steam condensers as much as you could just short of lighting them on fire by having all your heat stream line from boiler to boiler. For each consecutive cooling system, you need either a new source of cooling or a stronger source of cooling. An example of this would be like if you're using sea water in a ship's cooling system for a fluid to fluid cooling unit. If you had consecutive units put in, you'd want the intakes of ones further back to not be directly inline with the outputs of ones infront. That would just be cycling the same temp water through the cooling system and not actually making a remarkable difference. Having it take from different sources would make the temperatures noticeably different for the first part, since they're not getting the backwash from the ones before it. The solution may be you just may need to put electric radiators on the back most ones and have them poking out of the top so they get fresh cooler air running past it and not the heated interior air.
To bring down the Temp on the boilers you need valves on the coolant pipes from the Firebox to the boilers to regulate boiler Temp, the air intake really only regulates temp for the fireboxes which i still need to test but could lead to better coal consumption if done right, Otherwise Great video
i'd like to say ,because i am tired of people making this easly fixable spelling mistake , that 'you're' means 'you are' , if what you want to say doesn't include 'you are' then use 'your'

Loving all the new content Matty. That being said, keep up the good work. Lol
xD Thanks bud :)
I swear this man has the best upload schedule on UA-cam.
so true
I agree
True. But purple is the worst colour
Add a water tank to the tender and pump it to the water tanks on the boilers to keep the water full
Epilepsy warning for this one folks, some flashing as steam goes into the cab while underway in the 2nd half of the vid.

Hi this train looks awesome. I got the game yesterday because of you and it's awesome
You should add lights to the train because you can’t really see the buttons
U should color code ur pipes!
"with that being said" is Frantic's catch phrase :P
soooo a fixed triplex mallard design? i like it
Make a custom coach and that looks very nice frantic
make a hatch on both sides to repair the boilers if needed and make the whole train the same width you narrowed the fenders so now it dont look right
The new color scheme, I love it. Now it looks like the LNER Class A4 4496 'Dwight D. Eisenhower' but larger
That green looks amazing

I love frantic videos keep up the great work frantic
somebody must count how many times Maty says "with that being said"
Loving your content Frantic.
I see you got inspired by the Mallard!
I like the green best for a color.
Frantic you’r steam lokomotive looks like a what if an A 4 Pacific had a child with an American Big boy. very nice 👍

@@Samdu-oz9ku grammar police
@@ihavetoomuchcholesterol7290 says the one with the among us profile picture
@@Samdu-oz9ku at least i dont film myself dabbing then upload it to youtube
I have a fun project for u: try to build an excavator that can swap between a drill and a large shovel
The fact that he says “with that being said” twice in the first 30 seconds of the video.
hey frantic how about you put some water tanks in the tender and then put an water hose ad the connector so that it is pumping water in to the train
Idea
Make it an armoured train with guns and armoured carts
could you upload this to the workshop if you have finnished.
Maybe the first one ain't getting enough air since u have it inclosed in ?
Is there a way to make it into a war train or to add guns?
I see that you got the model from an A4 Mallard :)
6:04
They are corridors for a tender
You might wanna put a seizure or flashing lights warning on the video
You should color the cab roof black
Is it on the workshop?
Dont worry yourself to mutch about saying it to mutch it dosen't bother me any your doing good and enjoy yourself
man said it again
I was literally just reading a comment about making a tender
Hi frantic :D
The boiler running out of pressure might due to lack of water.
I'm not sure tho
edit: nevermind
Give it lights!
Sup
Ello
have you ever played gold rush the game
Add lights
Dude you don't need the cab to be bigger than the entire locomotive.its arready big enough.
You only have one condenser I think that’s you bottle neck
Upload it to the work shop
Thanos Train is not with us anymore :(
Add a water tenderrr
Where are the aircraft carrier episodes? I’me sorry if something is not good written down but i al from Belgium
Long train
Anyone else got over 1,100 hours???
Early gang✨
Hi how was your day
