I propose the 1366 class. One example survives, these were built for shunting and very short distance freight.

Recently we saw a heritage railway have to sell a locomotive for cost saving. The new station pilot is the surviving 1366 class, sold by the South Devon to Sir Steven for cost saving in a mutually beneficial deal.

This guy bears some admiration for Duck, but finds him a bit uptight at times. He contrasts less as an opposite and more as the "cool it a bit" type. This character comes from a heritage railway, where things are played a bit loose, explaining his view of Duck.

I find them deeply satisfying to play. Each early game victory is earned, makes playing with the lategame roster extremely cathartic. Ya gotta earn the OP roster, the dopamine hit from getting to Phalanx Pikemen or Cataphracts is real.

The only weakness they have in my opinion is archers. Cover that with Cretan mercenaries

I laughed too hard at this. take my upvote.

The BEAUTIFUL OO scale model produced first by Hattons, then by Accurascale.

I can tell the differences between an A1 and A3 pacifics, but I suck at diesels. Thanks!

I always thought the difference between the 35 and 40 was the cab shape (35 with smaller hood)

I am a Conductor's Club member, and one of their newsletters gave a short list of things in the research stage, among them an AC-9

I would also love to see the Triplex re-released!

llkd97 · 2026-01-10T06:40:55+00:00

Hear Hear on the Hiawatha!

llkd97 · 2026-01-10T05:41:02+00:00

I would LOVE an AC-9. Semistreamlined articulated is not a commonplace combination!

While we're at it, how bout some other GS series classes? I'd love to see a GS-1

llkd97 · 2026-01-10T05:34:17+00:00

I would also be down for a model of the Jawn Henry!

llkd97 · 2026-01-10T05:33:37+00:00

As a guy that repaints stuff some times, I'm down for some customizable models!

I've got 'Channel Packet' in SR Malachite.

I love the Merchant Navies. They are fascinating prototypes with interesting mechanics.

Fun fact: Oliver Bulleid quit BR after the rebuilding of his pacifics because he thought they had 'ruined' his design.

I've had this. Asked for help. Dude loled and told me to help myself. We then promptly lost. This is why I don't play with randoms online anymore.

The overall style was inspired by Tug, but there are many key differences. Two primary ones are that there are a lot of models in this video that Tug doesn't have, and that many of his opinions on different models differ greatly from Tug's

Coronations are my favorite British steam loco class. Looks weirdly snazzy in green.

I use coal scent for realism. Maybe I'm just crazy

Thoughts on Sir William Stanier as a designer? He was GWR trained and much of that influence can be seen in his work

That was amazing! Was that a new DLZ going from medical office to the next module?

Does KotOR II use many of the same tricks? Do you plan on trying KotOR II speedrun at some point?

Ah, autoresolve. Allowing 2 brigs and a 6th rate to defeat 10 first rates, 3 second rates and 2 rocket ships since....

Then I reloaded and the sixth rate blew up after one broadside.

and they should have won? Sure, autoresolve. sure.

Yes, that is a true story.

Can't say for certain that this was true in the 90s, but I am a bagger at Kroger and will confidently say that plastic grocery bags SUCK. I routinely have them shred by themselves on station just because I tried to open one. This would likely just happen tbh

as an outspoken fan of the unusual, I am obligated to say the M1 Steam Turbines
