That walking train looks like some Wallace and Gromit contraption

Jamie

what if instead of that big ole tender of coal....we put a battery in it

Fun connection, since Alice mentioned it, between State and Revolution and shoveling coal into locomotives: In the middle of 1917, Lenin had caught word that he was going to be arrested, and skipped town out of Petrograd. He did this by shaving, putting on a cap, and hopping onto a train headed north as fireman. They went though a number of checkpoints, but none of the guards thought to check the papers of the fireman. So, he makes it up to Finland, where he writes State and Revolution from a cabin in the woods.

i will shovel the spicy rocks

nuclear steam locomotive can it be done

Actually wouldnt the pioneer be a 2-2-2WT since its tank is neither on the side or on the top(saddle tank) it extendends beneath the frames and is therefore a well tank. Also the Bulgarian state railways had a whole class of 3 cylinder 4-10-0s that worked just fine. They also had some 2-12-4Ts or something stupid, eastern europe is a haven of mad shit

Train Simulator good, Train Sim World Bad, Trains good. Now I've got that out of the way, are any of you guys into the rather gorgeous new MS Flight Sim?

Mike Freeman

the Americana-style cover of the "Jeopardy" theme at 1:15:31 as you're discussing Wild West trains was a nice touch

Alex Roselle

When your job is frustrating, but you're allowed to get high half way through to make it fun.

Say what you may of the EPIC Game Store but I've gotten over a 150 free games from them, not shovel ware and many actually quite good major releases.

Lot of steam engines but more talk of boiler explosions and engines being deliberately smashed together head on would have been nice.

My understanding of Thomas the Tank Engine has been greatly enhanced.

The S2 with the turbine(s!) hanging out the sides reminds me of the 'Blower Bentley' - "yeah, where -are- we going to find space for this huge critical delicate high-speed rotating machinery?" "there's a whole world of room outside the frame rails, just put it there" "great idea!"

Hey so what's even better than bendy boilers? Steam turbine trains. There's a ton of awesome to mine here. You know what we want. You know why we're here.

1:35:35 an articulated boiler sounds like a _great_ idea.

William Chamberlain

I have no idea what is wrong with me that my brain finds y'alls banter relaxing, but i would enjoy a "Liam and Alice tell each other stories and Roz gets roasted" as a Calm app style sleep story. These are my insomniac thoughts.

Kate

I choo choo choose this episode

"maybe one on neoliberalism?.. " Jesus Christ. And I thought the engineering disasters were depressing enough.

Y'all need to find ket sleepyheads.

Kirsa

Peeing every hour or so is pretty normal though if you drink enough water, I think these other weirdos need to be checked.

Kirsa

can you guys do some more random historical topic bonus eps? really enjoyed the protestantism/beer ones! maybe one on neoliberalism?..

Liam

Does Roz need to get his prostate checked?

The word "slides" has lost all meaning...

YOU HACKS... Cockfosters is a terminus of the Picadilly line not Northern. Seriously though this is probably my favourite so far

Robyn F H Veitch

It sucks the Paget uniflow locomotive did not end up here, its quite fascinating.

I'll pick a feedwater pump over an injector any day.

Holy shit that was amazing. From the Peanut Gallery role reversal, to Tom (who is my new favorite Artstation contributor) to.. just everything. tren episode good, car bad

Best 3 hours of continuous train exposure

This seems to be a cautionary tale on the dangers of sleep deprivation.

This will help immensely when and if my time travel experiments go awry.

it's liams turn to scream into the bucket

I don't mind the attitudes in the podcast due to lack of sleep, but I'd much prefer you guys get some rest! Liam's mic did have some minor issues, but I don't think they were quite as bad as people said (for anyone concerned about it, I was hesitant to listen after reading some other comments, especially after the sports episode that I skipped because of the quality). There was some snack bag crinkling towards the beginning that was part of a joke, but other than that I haven't noticed a ton. Every so often he'd raise his voice and the mic audio would be pretty distorted (I noticed it fairly badly around 1:35:00ish), but I'm not sure the distortion was intentional - I think his settings just don't like the sudden raised volume, and Justin pointed that out when it happened. He can probably fix that if he takes a few minutes. There are a few other muffled noises during the recording that aren't very distinct, but I don't think those can be blamed on him. He does try to mute himself when he's making extra noise (like when eating), and the others notice and tell him not to 😅 Anyway. I just wanted to put this up in case people were worried about excessive noise. It's not a consistent thing, and I would guess that how the audio is actually affected (the distortion, mainly) isn't really intentional. Im almost done the episode and it can be jarring at moments, but it's easy to get past. Also lol Justin's become what he's constantly interrupted by

ya'll better not fuckin die

August

For the love of god sleep please I can wait some extra days for my patreon yum yums

August

yes !!

thanks, i want to learn about the stream tain

Dear Justin, I got your joke at the 103 minute mark about the steam coming out the stack electing the pope. I'm very sorry that nobody laughed, it was a good joke. Kind Regards,

Including the pissing is critical as it lets me sync up my own streams.

2 3hr patreon episodes in a row makes for a dangerous trend.

Dammit Joe

I was under the impression it was Gordon, but that might be in the original book. Yes I am that old.

Kevin Bodel

This morning I had a sudden vision of Liam and Alice in the open top Cadillac in the Clash’s Rock the Casbah video. That would make Ros the armadillo? I think I am not altogether well...

Kevin Bodel

I mean I love you guys and the episode is fine overall but did you consider that you could record your pay wall only episodes when you're NOT sleepy and irritable? Or do two parts? Or edit out the long sections of complaining and pissing? Just a couple thoughts.

What is a train? A miserable little pile of linkages.

2:39:25 I want the GMT train

Clarp Blarpkiss

NVM there goes Liam's mic. Good.

Lucas White

Also Giffords was steamo not steampunk

I'm sorry but I'm not subscribed to this for high production values and non-Madden graphics

wheels are bourgeois decadence

Karl Childers

Hi ya'll, new here :) I wanted to add that I spent 15 years as a horse/riding trainer and can confirm horses are beyond stupid. I started every first student with the lesson: "Horses are big, dumb and dangerous and you will get hurt or killed spending any amount of time with them. I just want your parents to sign right here that they understand that and waive all liability."

Trinite

I'll never know how this episode ends b/c I got so fed up with Liam constantly interrupting. All the effort Tom put in to this cool topic....

Damn, please just record when you can all have gotten some sleep and feel up to it. I will wait infinite time for an ep if it means you get to take care of yourselves.

Wren Hearn

Car bad, train okay. Tren good.

Charles Fox

The Lartigue (Irish) monorail was originally intended for desert environments, the idea being that the triangular track would prevent the sand from covering the rail. Also, the conductor would also be the loadmaster since he would have to ensure that passengers were all equally spaced out in the cars. http://www.lartiguemonorail.com/

astonishing that you criticize the in-firebox workers! they're doing "asbestos" (as best as) they can!

Liam's audio is such garbage in this episode. Almost impossible to listen to.

Liam O'Connor

Choo choo, motherfuckers

James Weaver

Low production value is part of WTYP's charm and always has been, but there is a line between basic low-effort recording (which is fine and good) versus deliberately making fucked noises into your microphone because it amuses you to be annoying (cough, Liam). Parts of this episode were physically painful to listen to and if I even thought it was an accident I wouldn't say shit, but seriously, WHY? Why be like this? I actually WANT to give you my money and it's like you're deliberately trying to persuade me not to.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH the rage is surging

I believe that noise at 3:07 is, in fact, Mothman. Please extinguish any naked lightbulbs in your personal studios.

FortressPlotter

Lol i just skip the first 5 minutes of every pod. Not complaining, just sayin i like to get right to the meat of it. Im sure the pod wouldnt be the same without intro❤

Very poggers that this is a 3 hour episode

Radale the clown

On today’s episode, liam is a dick to people with misophonia

tren gud, windows activation bad

contrary to what you might believe, the choo choo train is not going to run into you, for it is but a projection upon a screen. the train is elsewhere, and you are merely visualizing its likeliness

etienne

tren gud

Motion pictures in this episode? That’s it, I’m unsubscribing from this podcast.

Choo choo, into the new year.
