DE2 Cab

[wintry cliff]

looks great!

[still glen]

[pulsar pasture]

Hmmm

[thorn ocean]

I like the handbrake, wonder what this little guy does

[karmic tide]

That's just the heater switch - doesn't do anything 🙂

[clear umbra]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

tho i wish derail valley had a full body support, nothing much, i just wanna see my body as it rolls around in a crash

maybe not as much when i puke

[thorn ocean]

I was thinking this from the powertrain video was the handbrake but now I have no idea

[thorn ocean]

It should turn on a pretty red light - continue the "switch that turns on a pretty light" trend (/jk)

[fallen flower]

If i may ad might as well have it make a sound

[clear umbra]

ah no its just the injector

XD

[proven robin]

Injector?

[fierce onyx]

What a magnificent upgrade!

[drowsy oyster]

I'm guessing the handbrake would be your go-to brake when you're just waiting to refuel, or generally just lazing about the freight yard?

[clear umbra]

A Injector is a thing you have one a steam engine to inject water into the boiler

time to inject some water into the engine on the de2!

[proven robin]

yes that is why it probably is not a injector

unless its nitrous

[clear umbra]

r/woosh

weeeeeeeeeee

cat

thats the only thing i think now

[calm dawn]

Whole bunch of changes and I'm all for it

Also nice Oerlikon valves

In the Czech Republic, this folds to complete brake release. It is used when transporting an inefficient and unbraked locomotive at the end of a train. For example, when a major fault occurs. (Translated by Google Translate)

[rain ibex]

In the US that would be the "brake cut-out cock," which prevents any air from reaching the car/loco's brakes (if the entire system has no air, the brakes don't work) while allowing air to pass through the brake pipe to the other end of the car/engine. At least where I've worked, we're not allowed to have a car or locomotive without working brakes at the end of the train, in case the train becomes detached. You need something with working brakes behind it, or an employee riding to tie the handbrake by hand. The first is preferable, but I've used the second case twice...

To me, that image looks like the fuel tank sightglass, though

[rain ibex]

You'd typically use the independent brake for that, unless you're going to be out of the cab and not near the engine. The handbrake is for securing the train when nobody is with the engine, or for parking.

[bronze ginkgo]

In the Czech Republic, this is only used to bleed air from the brake circuit of the automatic brake. We have a separate tap for closing.

If I wrote something here that is not true, I apologize. I don't work for the railway, but I am quite interested in the railway. (Translated by Google Translate)

[rain ibex]

We also have a bleed rod that you pull to bleed off the reservoir of the car or locomotive, disabling the brakes.

[fiery fractal]

the magic instrument™️

[clear umbra]

XD

the TM

[fiery fractal]

the thing the engineers at the time didn't even understand but still somehow made to work

[karmic tide]

This is the correct explanation

The screenshot shows the brake cylinder release handle

And as you may guess it:

Will be covered in a future video™️

[fiery fractal]

we joking and all but i'm just amazed they got something like that to work in the 1850s

[zenith pumice]

'Will be covered in a future video' will be slobo's favorite phrase for a while

[karmic tide]

I should make a bot command 🤔

[zenith pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-kermit-darth-kermit-gif-25450285

What to make the trigger though is the question

!futurevideo

[clear umbra]

!futurevideo would be funny

[alpine summit]

!shush would be funnier

[clear umbra]

no, to unrelated i think

[alpine summit]

Yea fair

[zenith pumice]

!yourquestion
"Will be covered in a future videoTM"

[clear umbra]

Okay okay that one was good

[random quail]

If that’s on the outside of the train mabey a emergency fuel cut off.

[random quail]

Yep this one

[raw jackal]

[random quail]

So hyped but I see a distinct lack of radiator fan which will suck when shutting in the wrong direction.

Also how do we prevent the MU engines from overheating if one is running backwards. Or will it actually give us proper warnings now.

[zenith pumice]

There was never a radiator fan switch

[fiery fractal]

funny thing: originally i was absolutely convinced the fan switch did stuff

and for a while

[zenith pumice]

It turns on the pretty blue light

But that is all

[shadow shoal]

To be fair it's a lovely shade of blue

[fallow vector]

God this update keeps getting better and better. I can't wait!

[wispy briar]

Man just noticed this tab, went and binged them all...... is it sad how excited I am for headlights XD?

Also could we get a ping for new drops? Or a roll opt in for pings?

[somber atlas]

will diesle locomotives have dynamic braking?

[wispy briar]

ooooo yes, the important question ^

[somber atlas]

yes indeed

[somber atlas]

look like YES

[shadow shoal]

Just check that box

[wispy briar]

@shadow shoal oh cool, thx 😄

Also @somber atlas YES

[karmic tide]

Everyone will be tagged at the end of the month together with a new news post including a summary video of past shorts

[wispy briar]

Oooooo

[clear umbra]

Might I ask, when the next video?

[wispy briar]

^^^ been waiting 😛 reading all the chats for all the previous videos as I wait XD

[clear umbra]

Me too, thought it would be out by now

[clear umbra]

Anny moment nooooooooooowww

[pulsar pasture]

aaaannnnny moment no- oh there it is!

[tacit sleet]

It says De2 will be easier to skin, will that be a trend that applies to all cars and locomotives?!

[pulsar pasture]

perhaps

[karmic tide]

They are already equally easy to skin

The DE2 cab was a lot more complex than others
