Locomotive Customization Update:
Hello Patrons! Please bear with us as we need a little more time to finish up the last details on the upcoming customization dev vlog, so we will be publishing that in October. We hope you enjoyed the long-format Q&A and additional demo features showcased in September's video in the meantime, and thank you again for your patience!

looks like railroads online but better
I hope that we get to customize the Glenbrook and make it like the Tahoe as a modernized 2-6-0 that it is now...
Wanted to know if there was any chance that there going to be locomotives from Arizona narrow gauge? Would be very cool to see anything from the United Verde & Pacific, a short-lived line that was replaced by a standard gauge line to the north.
It will definitely be interesting to see how the styles of livery, font, and paint can be made to change over time/modernize.
Are there any rolling stock with knuckles?
There's an engine with a knuckle in the picture
Q&A Question. Will you guys consider eventually creating standard gauge steam locomotives?
im not a dev. however this game is meant to be a "true" narrow gauge experience. so that something i would personally doubt.
Two questions for me, will wheelslip be modeled? Also, in career mode, will there be an option to modify locomotives already purchased? (repaint/rename, etc.?)
Any content with hyve is always enjoyable
Q&A Question. Track building! Will it be like other games like COS or like Trainz RR Sim. Hoping for trainz like spline editor as it is easier for me personally
Great work
Q&A Question: Will the customization options be purely aesthetic, or will different options noticeably affect the locomotive's performance? I.e. A spark arrestor stack not drafting as freely as a shotgun stack?
It would be interesting too if the type of fuel changes the power output of the locomotive. From what i’ve gathered an upgrade from coal to oil fireing did almost always increase the power as well. Not to sure about wood to coal but i would assume so.
Take what time you need, y'all hammered it all summer and need to take care of yourselves to make this game as good as it promises to be. Burnt developer doesn't sound like an appealing fuel option (I like the other three!)
Im interested in some locomotives which could be bought with a tender or a bunker, if thats also a option ingame. Also im interested if we will be able to couple extra water cars to extend the range of the train. (Just saying 2-6-6-2T with less water be like: where traction? Wheels go brr)
I see a wood tender, a coal tender and, is that an oil tender up front? Did they have oil burners that early?
Are that three different fuel types I spot there? 👀👀
Very curious if knuckle couplers will just be a customization option, or a upgrade you can get later on in the game, giving it another type of progression
So not only did you decide to add headlight-antlers as a cursed customization option, you went over the top and added at least three _different_ headlight-antler options. A person might almost be tempted to think y'all were having too much fun with this. Are the customization options going to include a stray lime wedge on the running board, too?
Will it only be link & pin couplers?
I believe that's a knuckle coupler hiding on the front of 24 in the photo.
A delayed game is eventually good. But A rushed game is forever bad. In other words take whatever time you need to make it as you want it
24 is the only one that can go "kadunk" without crunching someones fingers
And only on the front; it's still got a link-and-pin socket on the tender.
Will details about the interface between L&P and Janney couplers be included in this dev blog? That’s what I’m most curious about.
No rush at all! I hope to see some more modern locomotives showcased!
Super cool can't wait for the vlog next month! As people on the discord already said you're already over delivering! Antler gang for life
Take all the time y’all need. Better a later but good post than a rushed but less informative one.
Yes take your time you technically already did a video for the month although Can’t wait for the new video.
