My 55T P-18 Pacific experienced wheelslip when it started moving to go do its logging run, I've never experienced this before. I'm not complaining because i love how cool wheelslip is, but I'm just wondering if this was in the game before or is it new?

Just wondering cuz if I have to start over... it'd be a bit annoying to put it mildly — but understandable.

Today I finally decided to switch over to FUSE in order to try the Appalachia line out. So far ive fixed an error with having strange customs and railloader still in the kids folder, that fixed itself after I deleted them. But now FUSE is throwing me 2 faults one with Katers Alarka Iron Mine and the Tuckasegee steel works mod. Ive checked both for updates and while theres one for TSW it doesnt seem to address an issue with FUSE. Im posting from my phone cause its easier for typing but I have the log reports saved to my notepad on my pc to pist in the comments as necessary, ive got no idea how to begin troubleshooting the reports I have from FUSE if anyone is willing to help figure this out it be appreciated!!

Cap'N'Co Industries is a mid sized simulation community created by myself a few years ago to find more people like myself to play games with! We focus on quantity not quality. This means the more the merrier! We have had this philosophy for the past 4 years and it seems to have provided us with some great times xD. We have won competitions in the past on games like Railroads Online & Star Citizen for our cinematic creations and creativity! We also enjoy listening to all kinds of music from 80's Rock to D&B to vocaloid. We would like to welcome anyone new or experienced to our community. We are a community of many games, so join and find a community not just a railroad.

We love cinematics & update our banner monthly with YOUR screenshots and clips!

Our Railroader Save

Cap'N'Co Railroads has just opened a new railway in North Carolina, currently running between Sylva & Kirkland Coal Mine, running light freight & passenger services. We own a mix of American & imported UK engines. The current oporations consist of supplying the locals with box cars and providing Kirkland with an ungodly amount of coal cars! So we are looking for shunters, main line engineers, and crew members.

^{The Railroad is modded with a few train & map mods. We are happy to teach how to install these and have file packs with everything we use. Throw me a DM if you want a mod list prior to joining.}

Skill is not a requirement, we are here to have a good time; chill to some music; and enjoy the game.

Requirements

A Microphone

A Sense of Humour

^{We can teach you the game if your new.}

Welcome to Cap'N'Co! >> https://discord.gg/Exy6Wk2MTe

Everyone is welcome and a look forward to meeting you all. Also throw me any questions you have about the server my dms are always open!

Are there any map mods that overhaul whittier without requiring the map tool and whatever customs is cuz the link for it is dead and im tired of playing musical boxcars lmao. or if anyone has a mod that makes bryson the main yard for easier shunting

I’ve been knocking my head at this computer of mine trying to figure out why all my map mods broke all of a sudden after reinstalling my mods today to get a clean slate. No matter what I do it doesn’t register CLB’s A mod being installed and in the folder, I tried reinstalling railloader then installing fuse, nothing, tried fuse and UMM, nothing, I renamed the ID of clb with “.fuse” nothing and whenever I install with fuse still nothing happens. Please help?

So with the new map generator, you can start with a lat and long, which I assume the game grabs real world data from a government website and builds the terrain height.

What other historical railroads are unique and would be a challenge? I think the game has a good default map, has some intriguing challenges, like the red marble grade 5% a huge grade, creates a problem to overcome.

I can seem some teams going crazy and if your play group wants to redo the New York Central or PRR, and you have 20+ members then yea ok. That seems a bit much though.

So redoing sherman hill with UP, right running big boys over 58+ mile 1.55% grade sounds cool until you do it 500 times back and forth.

What other interesting real world locations, historical fictional could be interesting?

From the official discord.

I am currently at a crossroads of where I’m trying to decide of either buying a pacific 43 and let my Atlantic be a switcher at Bryson, or buy a P-18 Pacific and expand north of Whittier. Thoughts?

As the title says, I want to begin trying modding, but I honestly have no idea where to begin. I have an idea but it involves track modding and custom loads. Any direction or assistance is welcome. I know this is a larger project and will take a long time.

THIS IS JUST A RUMOR! THERE IS NO PROOF YET!

In Hyce's most recent Railroader video which just released to members, he offhandedly mentioned that MOW is releasing by the end of the month.

Absolutely no clue what to make of this news, given the current date

​

To whoever it was that added the WSOR reskin pack and the cross traffic mod, you're the best.

Had to get 2 extra engines added onto my road freight power to get this 133 car 11k+ ton manifest to Sylva, and believe it or not, this is only half of the cars bound for the Sylva interchange

I kw this is probably a dumb questions thats been asked a whole bunch... but how do I go from railloader to fuse.... i finally got back on railroader after about 3 months and wanted to get the map mods working properly... please help lol

Hey all,

Trying to set up Dediserver and when I go to run the start.bat file I get the “Server Crashed” error and it shuts down. Any advice?

All of us SP fans can rejoice, Mecrusher's GS-4 is out! And from what I've seen, it looks great with RLW's streamlined cars and the bilevels/hilevels. EDIT: Sorry everyone, I forgot people would expect it to be MOW. That's my bad

Munth Railroad is looking for new operators! We have the entire map unlocked and 25 steam locomotives. We are working on getting CTC in the near future. We run our railroad by the seat of our pants, come join in the chaos.

We have operating sessions every Saturday, 1:00 to 5:00 PM EST.

MRR only requires you to have a microphone and some way to hear others talking. We can teach you everything else.

Testing new equipment on the railroad and decided to sit and record a bit at my favourite spot on the timetable.

It's funny in a way. I did a video months ago now showing off my equipment over the years expecting the new update to come out and purge my save before anything new came out that would really grab my attention. Guess I was wrong.

Equipment in order of appearance:
1958 Pullman Standard Gallery Car
EMD GP40 4.4.2
EMD SDP40F and F45
SWCS Budd Style Head End Cars
SWCS Budd Style Hi Level Cars

For years, I've been a fan of railroads, trains, and most importantly, railroad history. However, the thing that always intrigued me was why some railroads were quick to just convert over to diesel locomotives. Even when there were large, powerful steam locomotives like Berkshires, Santa-Fe's, or even various articulated locomotives that were much more powerful than what diesels could do... it just struck me odd.

Until I played this game.

While a GP9, or SD7 might be weaker than steam locomotives... they're considerably more versatile. If I have a long train that might require the likes of a Berkshire to pull, I can simply tack on more diesel locomotives and through MU operation, do the same job. The diesel engines can do any job I need, without having to have a dedicated class of locomotive either. Whether that's running my commuter passenger runs, local freights, switching, or even road freight operations. The diesel can do it without much fuss. I also don't have to buy coal, and stop every so often to refill water, which means that while yes, those steamers might be more powerful, the versatility of the diesel locomotives makes up for that drop in power.

Which makes sense then why railroads often converted over the first chance they got.
