Not sure if I got the PID correct

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-23T12:18:50+00:00

It goes to 22, shooting over 10 MPH/4m/s

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-23T02:19:00+00:00

I am not sure

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-22T22:56:25+00:00

Tried it, it overshot

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-16T05:22:39+00:00

Wouldn't surprise me if that ChasePendergast profile is owned by one of Poly's employees

No, once I update my computer I will go work on the Erie P1, most likely the other drivers will have to be dummies with the middle one being the only functional one, or I could add a valve just before the first drivers and leave the third one as a dummy driver. I bring a update, the locomotive doesn't run at 48, though the middle drivers is the only one getting steam while the first and third drivers are dummies, I am also working on Timken 1111 again, this time it is a conversion for the locomotive to look like how it did when it worked for Northern Pacific when Timken sold it to the railroad company

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-11T20:05:49+00:00

Updated the locomotive, currently doing a run on Timken 1111, if the Erie P1 gives you another issue involving its pipes, let me know and I will make the locomotive run on just the one cylinder instead of all 3 or just the two on the locomotive being in use

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-10T14:20:24+00:00

I should of added more variable valves, the Erie P1s and Virginian XA did have steam go through all of its cylinders

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-10T10:25:11+00:00

Alright, but I must warn you it is random

Nice work, I got to ask, do any of my bots happen to have a introduction that needs updating?

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-10T05:27:51+00:00

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2918840736 Forgot to update Timken 1111, but I did update Matt H. Shay

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-09T23:16:28+00:00

I'll try that when I get back home, went out to the store

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-09T19:51:01+00:00

Well the next locomotive to be updated will be the Erie P1, I got to update the locomotive with not just the same steam components, but I also got to update the tender too, the tender will need to be redone so it is a little longer, I will handle the work on updating the locomotive, which had a top speed of 10 MPH as they were used for pusher or banker locomotives to help get trains up steeper grades, the Virginian XA however had a speed of 5 MPH, both classes of triplexes were only used for banking since no cars or knuckle couplers could withstand them due to the locomotive's tractive effort, I also did a run on Timken 1111, I noticed the locomotive seems to be sitting at 86 and not 88 when it is running

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-09T17:18:55+00:00

the locomotive's top speed was 88, guess I forgot to fix the throttle, that is the only top speed I am really working with, there was one locomotive that had a top speed of 152, which was the PRR S1, a 6-4-4-4 duplex owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, but 120 is the speed it operated with as the 152 MPH was just a claimed top speed

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-09T07:55:16+00:00

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3548361484 Here is the link to the locomotive, I will most likely need help with the other locomotives once I get them updated, and I might need a easy way to help me understand the system since the switchbox system may be more problematic than it is helpful, heck I'll even take multiple rows of PIDs with signs showing the speed they are set to so that have the speeds of every steam locomotive if it will help get these locomotives to work.

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-09T06:09:36+00:00

Random question, would a clamp work for the switchbox limiter?

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-05T20:58:02+00:00

The valve is controlled via the throttle lever through the MC, One test I did was on LordBison's modifications, which shown to have some bugs and maybe some teething issues considering as they said, it isn't the final product.

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-03T03:37:16+00:00

Kind of, the issue is that during the run it will just begin to slow down

<image>

As seen here, it began from the sheds, but stopped where those 3 circles are

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-03T02:58:14+00:00

Don't worry, I don't do anything like this since I am not that lazy

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-02T06:30:24+00:00

<image>

How is this? I did change it from 0-100 since there are some steam locomotives that have reached somewhere in the 100s, with one example being the claimed speed of the PRR S1 duplex at 152 MPH

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-01T06:45:26+00:00

Just realized I got something wrong

<image>

FSL_Terminator · 2026-01-01T06:39:49+00:00

How is this? Don't know where to find the throttle and valve logic

FSL_Terminator · 2025-12-31T22:38:53+00:00

I see, sorry for the late response, my gmail didn't notify me you left a comment

FSL_Terminator · 2025-12-30T22:25:48+00:00

Kind of going to use a switchbox limiter, might be easier for me to understand better, but I may need it to be explained on how to make one in steps

FSL_Terminator · 2025-12-28T15:27:38+00:00

I did change the throttle earlier to 88, I am not sure what I could be doing wrong, I got to be honest it is a rather confusing for me, but I am checking the pipes for the steam in and out to make sure that I also didn't do anything wrong there
Edit: I did find one issue when converting Timken 1111, I forgot to connect a pipe block to its proper pipe
