PRR Q2 when?

failing in real life scesful in model form

@da-adult @Lard God : the engine works perfectly fine, you have to turn on the key button on the firebox then you have to wait until the boiler is hot enough to generate steam

it won't move

How do you actually get it to move?

@the bean gamer : On the left side of the tender you can open a panel. Behind this panel there are 2 hose anchor to pump water into the tender.
- the blue one is to pump in fresh water
- the green one is to pump in sea water (there is an additional desalinator filter).
To refill the tender you have to connect one of the 2 ports to an external source (water tank or pump) and activate the pump on the associated panel

i run out of water and i don't know how to refill it, can you elaborate other than just there is a special compartment.

oh.

@Gurnie44 : Main driving wheels cannot be powered without pistons so secondary wheels are powered.

how are the wheels powered?

I cant seem to get the train moving :c

works great, can't wait for the others to be fixed!

Why is it not building boiler pressure after one round of steam?

@Metal_Messiah00 : Thanks a lot, I'm currently working to fix other engines as well.

@cdchapa924 : I made some changes to the water injectors, now the boiler have its own water reserve and this reserve can be refilled with the tender water.
I'm working on improvements on water injector for the reserve to last longer.

wait nvm

i think the tender is sucking water from the loco than the loco sucking water from the tender

but still I AM WOWED THAT IT WORKS NOW WOOOOOOOOOOOH

amazing that you fixed it but the water injector cant keep up with the water boiling

so glad to see this updated, your trains are my favorite to use in stormworks and it killed me when they got broken. certainly hope a few more get updated as well.

YES

@jbwinc : Yes, I fixed this locomotive

?

@jbwinc : as you can see

you fixed it?

@chouchydog Not even close to a Berkshire. A Berkshire is a 2-8-4, not a 6-8-6

nice berkshire

oh ok thanks!

@Rilliam : You have to set the radio frequency to 440 then, every time you push the track switch button, it will send info to all track switch in the range of the radio antenna and change tracks.

how does the track switcher work?

@Trilogy : Connectors are always-ON so it should hook to any railcars automatically, unless the railcars haven't the same type of connectors

How do you enable the connectors to hook up the car?

Occasionally get a situation where the tender won't fill the boiler, despite being hooked up

Mikaelainen : Please read the description of the mod before asking , because it's already written : "On the right side of the firebox you can switch on the water pumps to refill the boiler."

how do you fill the boiler?

@kiwi3460 : "Simple boxcar" by Enzocats

what is the boxcars in picture 12?

@Infernal : Yep, for this build I used steam turbines but for now, it's impossible to use large steam locomotives wheels to power the train, even less if you want to use them without pistons because there are no other external connection (power or fluid).

Love the builds, but how do you make a steam locomotive with its pistons concealed? Does it have something to do with the turbine? I ask because I'm planning on making an LB&SCR E2 and it wouldn't be very accurate if it had pistons on the outside

ok

UP Big Boy is not planned, maybe a UP Challenger

can you make the bigboy

maybe

Being from PA, I absolutely love this! Not Necessary ut could you build the PRR K4 #367? It is currently being rebuild in altoona and would love to see this in stormworks!

@jwald15 : just released an update with handle on the exterior for easier access to the cab

@Aiden12152019 : I had the same issue in multiplayer mode only because it's full bugged, but in singleplayer I didn't had anything like that

@wbillett : all fluid valve are just decorative

do all the fluid valves do stuff or are they just there to make it look cooler
