Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

So how many snow sheds and tunnels were there in the SP portion of the Transcontinental ? The sheds did influenced the SP locomotive designs--The Cab Forwards, once Mallet shown up in America. And why did the first transcontinental had been rebuilt after JUST THREE YEARS after the Promontory meeting...

I've just NOTICED That there is another 'homegrown' Railroad Tycoon 'spiritual successor' game here meow~ named (called Rail Mogul) and it appears that the game will include all favorite features from RT3 and add some new ones (based on the crew experience with both gaming and real railroading). I'm...

Here are the new Cowboy Engines for Trainmaster. These are just for testing and they will be included in a loco pack I am working on to add a few new engines. This has the old American renamed to Standard 4-4-0 and the new loco coming in 1870 as an American 4-4-0, which is when then mae 'Amercian' ...

Betatest but Euro-only at this moment.
Is it better if America, and third-world choices are included too? (like RT3) meow~

And when did the two 'pacific' railroads began using sticky fuel oil for its steam locomotives? before or after the completion of the transcontinental railroad??

Thanks. but tell me two things about this video please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkqp6ym7KwM 1. Tell me about steam crane seen in the embarkation scenes. what is the fuel this crane used? coal or fuel oil? 2. Name of the marching songs featured in this clip. one of these were reused in another ...

Good link. It's great that abandoned rails are still being used. !*th_up*! I like how many locals use the rail line as extra pasture for their animals. A good adventure, would be lots of fun to do. This is a more popular video, but thought I would post it here anyway, just in case. These are the ga...

My 'greatest' lists (excluding government owned corporates because many of them sucks!) 1. Union Pacific: Over 150 years strong. also known to pioneer new classes of locomotives (Two of them also exists in Railroad Tycoon 3--The Challenger and the Big Boy) and is the only railroad in the world to us...

Only if the 4th Era Tolkeinverse exists in literature world. and it's gonna be steampunk ones:P But won't it creates another Arcanum?

Diesel. Which one? F-Unit? Hood Unit? Zephyr? or else?

Will there be versions with lesser villages and townships meow? And with exclusive 'American' engines and no european dual cab diesel electrics?

H&B lives in the Georgia. USA The Railroad shown here appears to be in UK. the trainset itself is distictively british. IF there will be 'Hawk' and 'Badger' in the US shortline railroad 1. Hawk should be Mallet. favorably the 2-4-4-2 and might be tank engine 2. Badger should be Mogul or Ten Whee...

Gimme the lists of scenario that player constructs tramway/interurban/commuter mass transit electric rail systems. Apart of either - Los Angeles - Pennsylvania Electric (really? Penn scenarioes are vasts, its size goes far beyond the peripherals of any metropolis) - San Diego (ones that began in 197...

^ A very dangerous, sophisticate, and low capacity monorail system. I don't know which problems did the railroad above tried to solve but it doesn't really do. Narrow gauge weirdo! Simplex combustion locomotive http://www.davesrailpics.bravehost.com/lclr/wdtrain.jpg Usually this locomotive comes wit...

Lil questions
Why Union Pacific choose to run its turbines regularly between Odgen, Utah and Echo (??) i.e. through Wasatch mountain/Echo canyon, but not consider assigning any Turbines in blue canyon region of Oregon?

Back to the real 'unusual' locomotives http://www.trainnet.org/Libraries/Lib002/CP8460.JPG ^ This thing appears to be road switcher not usually seen anywhere else. low round nose. most engine of this kind has bigger edgy noses like either EMD GP7 or GE Universal series http://www.trainweb.org/csxpho...

^ yes i am. a lil railfan from Thailand. had been boarding a train (shamefully ran by State, it should be privitized!) throughout the southern Isan lines (Bangkok - Ubon Rajthani) for so many times, Northern line (Lampang - Pijit) once. and see how undeveloped the SRT is. the discussion is... howeve...

^ Naked Mallard. This shows us that Mallard is streamlined from start, not shrouded like many steamliners found in the USA and elsewhere. Interesting enough, even with series of advanced steam techs installed. Mallards don't come with Belpaire firebox, regardless that this engine should have one bec...

Also I have yet to talk with some Thai railfans regarding to all Cab unit diesels (and no Hood units there!). many of which are tailored made (only Frichs are really standard designs) Another stunning fact is that SRT bought a number of road diesels from Davenport locomotive works.. WITHOUT any know...

Zephyr diesel locomotive. which it shown in game up in 1930s up to 50s. is a Jewel crown of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad. though the first Zephyr (Pioneer Zephyr) is streamlined DMU. the follow-up Zephyr, the #9905 Zephyrus, and #9904 Pegasus. are locmotive-based train. (actually EMC 18...
