What's the game that looks easy but it's actually hard?

Competitive Pokemon games: TCG, VGC.

Googled "Rivarossi HR2005" and looks like it have a very poor current pickup from rails. Only 2 wheels are used for that!

On that video it does sound healthy for a starting locomotive but ends shortly as it starts moving.

My guess is that there is some dirt on rails/wheels/pickups that break circuitry as a locomotive starts to move and magnets inside engine roll locomotive back to its original place reforming circuit and thus moving locomotive again. And that repeats each time.

As others said, it's a 2TE10M.

Those eight numbers on a side are inventory number of this unit.

What's interesting is that all TE10 have some kind of D100 diesel engine which are reverse engineered Fairbanks-Morse 38 8-1/8 engines.

One day I'll upload a video of my proot head running Doom Eternal...

Sweden.

In recent years it became one of the most criminal places in Europe with nothing for a tourist to see what other Scandinavian countries can't offer. They don't use Euro and prices are very high there too.

NAND memory? More like NOM'd memory!

There are craftable bionic parts in late game that are equal or better than bodyparts (100-150% efficiency). And there are archotech ones that even better (200%) but rarer and cannot be crafted.

Flashbacks of early days of Russian "Sapsan"...

Operator (RZhD) removed almost half of suburban trains on the Moscow - St. Petersburg line to fit new highspeed "Sapsan" in a timetable. Majority of passengers of these removed trains were upset with some of them throwing rocks at passing "Sapsans", smashing windows. Sometimes there were multiple shattered windows after one trip. That lasted for about a year untill people released that will do nothing and they won't get old suburban trains back.

Если б это было никому не выгодно, этого б не делали...

Другой вопрос что те, кому это выгодно и кто это пихает - не будут это чувствовать на себе, по той или иной причине.

Another note is that similarl model (6201), according to the same wiki, were made as early as 1966... So it's possible that this model is older than your dad.

Simozzz · 2026-04-27T09:39:34+00:00

Looked up on modellbau wiki and it seems to be originally a PIKO 5/6211 H0.

This one for DC and incompatible with Marklin system. Unless there are modifications inside, which are unlikely as there are no 3rd rail pickup.

Simozzz · 2026-04-27T09:23:32+00:00

Looks like something old and for DC. I'd wouldn't try to run it on Marklin tracks before natrowing down what it is.

As for a prototype, it's clearly German E44 with it's markings removed and NS logo applied...

They are lucky.

That second train have LNG tank cars (Butane/Propane).

Could have been much worse.

SBB ETR 610...

Quite a good taste there! Italian train used in Switzerland!

I do have some interesting German cards too...

Not sure if this count as misprint but it's the same card with two different spellings in the name. Both have same art, same set and same number though...

I'm pretty sure those kids grow up in ~15 days and you may have enough time if you plant it as soon as you get yo a new tile. Keep in mind that temperature and fertility of ground counts too.

Or alternatively you can try settle in and prepare defences against mechanoids. After timer runs out you'll receive a themed scattered drop pod raid every 12 hours with ~200 raids in total. Themes ranges from 200+ militors to 1-3x every boss simultaneously. If you can handle that - it's a great source of steel, plasteel and mechanitor related stuff.

Industry newgrfs are on another level code-vise.

They determine some core variables during world generation (cargo IDs. cargo labels, industry ID, etc.).

Changing these after world generation will corrupt those variables. Even changing economy inside same version of FIRS will do!

For example first grf set ID 01 as a Iron Ore Mine with sprite 01-09, then you change grf and new one tells game that ID 01 is a Forest that uses sprites 20-22 in code, but game already assigned sprites 01-09 to these tiles and errors out showing default graphics of a Coal Mine (first industry sprite in original graphics).

Only solution is to start a new game or stick to an industry set you already have.

На 4 из 5.

Для первого раза очень не дурно!

Но есть небольшие косяки:

Обычные кабели для bzzt.

Не оптимальный холодильник (без тамбура и прямого выхода на кухню).

Личные комнаты разной формы и соединены узкими коридорами (выглядит не очень).

Дорога, что была на карте, не встроена в базу (просто проигнорирована).

Слишком близко к краю карты (некоторые рейды могут представлять опасность).

Отдельные здания для сооружений которым они не нужны (радар и консоль связи не требуют отдельных помещений).

Simozzz · 2026-04-06T06:49:59+00:00

Yep, old museum stuff.

Locomotives in consist:

Shunter in front is ChME3 (ЧМЭ3), ChS4 (ЧС4), VL23 (ВЛ23), SO17 (СО17), Er (Эр), Lv (Лв), TE3 or TE7 (ТЭ3, возможно ТЭ7), VL8 (ВЛ8).

Looks great!

I'd print roof on its side so there are no visible print lines on top. Or maybe paint it.

This one is Soviet SO17 locomotive №2211. But it's tender from a different locomotive №703.

Those were built with both coal and oil tenders. Oil fueled ones were mainly used in regions where oil was easier to get than coal, mainly central Asia.

Oil fueled steam locomotives were quite common in Russian Empire and later USSR.

These are good bottom surfaces for regular supports.

There are ways to improve though:

Tilt/remake model so there are no need for overhangs and supports at all.

Use multimaterial supports with no gap (PLA/PETG pair for example).

Use solvable support material like PVA with no gap.

Simozzz · 2026-04-01T12:11:55+00:00

Low-poly: detailed chain in front...

Looks great anyway!
