00:33:16 <sim-al2> Seems that camshaft-style controllers can be found on DMUs too 00:33:31 <drac_boy> oh huh, interesting..maybe a commuter dmu re lot of stop-n-go 00:33:34 <sim-al2> Nah, Derby Lightweight British dmu 00:33:58 <drac_boy> would had been tiring to hold down the automatic brake bar on a long nonstop run otherwise 00:34:25 <sim-al2> 4 gear+neutral Electro-pnuematic gear selector on the right, 4 position electro-pnuematic throttle on the left 00:35:11 <sim-al2> These had a deadman valve on the throttle, the brake controller is missing but would be to the right of the gear selctor 00:35:14 *** kais58_ is now known as kais58|AFK 00:35:20 <sim-al2> Vaccum brakes too... 00:35:34 *** kais58|AFK is now known as kais58_ 00:35:46 <sim-al2> http://www.railcar.co.uk/technology/brakes/ 00:36:26 <sim-al2> Choose to maintain compatibility with the coaches, since these were built in the mid-to-late 50's when lots of steam engines were still around in the UK 00:36:34 *** day_ [~day@a82-173.nat.uq.edu.au] has joined #openttd 00:37:21 <sim-al2> Since air is needed for the controls, they had compressors and exhausters driven by the engines (and almost all had two engines per power car) 00:37:47 <drac_boy> tbh I always found the whole vaccum-vs-air transition rather interesting... 00:38:04 *** day__ [~day@a82-173.nat.uq.edu.au] has joined #openttd 00:38:21 <drac_boy> did you know that even the prototype Deltic was sent on a brake test and it took rather a long time to come to a full halt with vacuum which clearly pointed to the need for air brakes instead? :) 00:38:54 <sim-al2> Vaccum makes sense for steam engines, as it does save the complexity of an air compressor (at the expense of the development that had already been made on air brakes) 00:40:07 <sim-al2> But it's fairly terrible for diesels, as fairly specialized exhausters were needed, and the working pressure of a vaccum brake is far lower than air brakes, so you need bigger brake cylinders, reservoirs, etc 00:41:10 <drac_boy> well I do know that some of the usa-sourced wartime steam for uk had air brake capacity tho, heres one example http://www.docbrown.info/docspics/ArchiveSteam/archive2/Img_3171.jpg 00:41:56 *** Clockworker [Clockworke@200-96-110-237.paemt702.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has joined #openttd 00:42:09 <sim-al2> I believe most of the dual-fitted diesel locomtives actually used air for their own brakes, with the vaccum system controlled in parallel for the train 00:42:15 <drac_boy> yeah I agree re diesel/electric having air 00:42:52 *** roidal [~roland@193-154-142-21.adsl.highway.telekom.at] has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.4] 00:44:15 <drac_boy> actually I believe it was some hill-to-dockside electric railway that had the early use of regenerative brakes too ... small steeplecab-ish locomotive is all I can recall right now 00:44:36 *** day_ [~day@a82-173.nat.uq.edu.au] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 00:44:38 <drac_boy> they were interested in it when the train hauled by electric instead of steam managed to stop in a shorter length 00:44:57 <sim-al2> Strangely enough, compared to the US Budd DMUs, these regualarly towed coaches and even freight cars, despite having mechanical transmissions 00:45:37 <drac_boy> well tbh if it was not supposed to haul wagons then it shouldn't be called a MU ... ;) 00:45:44 <drac_boy> just my own nitpick heh 00:45:58 <drac_boy> railbuses on the other hand often are designed to run slo or with one specially matched coach 00:46:01 <sim-al2> Well, it's definetly a DMU, with powered cars and control trailers 00:46:03 <drac_boy> slo=solo* 00:46:25 <sim-al2> http://www.railcar.co.uk/topic/tail-loads/ 00:47:59 <sim-al2> The maximum load is not very high, a set with two power cars and a trailer car is only rated for 35 tons 00:48:01 *** Clockworker_MF [~Clockwork@201-41-26-151.paemt700.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 00:48:12 <drac_boy> the VT98 was interesting one tho...always could either find one running alone or in varying mismash such as power-cab or power-trailer-power-cab etca 00:48:34 *** day__ is now known as day\ 00:50:30 <drac_boy> interesting article 00:51:14 <drac_boy> btw you want know something else?

01:05:42 <sim-al2> Yeah, I think it's up front 01:06:24 <sim-al2> A lot of the gasoline-engined railcars are built that way, often single-ended too 01:06:51 <sim-al2> I suppose that turning facilities weren't a problem 01:07:39 *** smoke_fumus [~smoke_fum@188.35.176.90] has quit [Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/] 01:07:41 <drac_boy> well many of the late usa ones had the engine sitting around the interior if not small enough to sit under-chassis ... but of course the exhaust was usually somewhere over the cab roof end 01:08:40 <drac_boy> on the other hand there were at least one or two railroads that ordered some (it was a small builder I don't recall name of now) vehicles that looked like stretched bus rebuilt with rail chassis instead .. even had a chain-connected manual transmission that needed a strong arm to operate too :-s 01:09:09 <drac_boy> at least they lasted for a while as a cheap one-man (instead of steam locomotive with separately conductor-ed coach) passenger service 01:11:27 <drac_boy> d&rgw at least knew how to built decent if not unusual looking passenger/freight combo railtrucks .. and their transmissions didn't need a big arm to operate heh 01:11:51 <sim-al2> There were some early attempts at buses that could operate on both road and rail 01:11:59 <drac_boy> heres one of the mid-age model http://blogs.denverpost.com/library/files/2012/06/Galloping-Goose-1.jpg 01:12:15 <drac_boy> and yes it *was* a fullsize boxcar that they reused 01:12:53 <drac_boy> where the road axle should had been was a chain drive to the rear rail bogie instead .. usually both rear axles were powered 01:14:32 <drac_boy> not surprisingly for d&rgw some of these units had to carry a fullsize plow in a nod to the mountain-amount snows 01:17:21 <sim-al2> Not to mention, literal buses: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rehvonwald/2234872137 01:18:05 <drac_boy> sim-a12 heres something you only usually find on low-speed lines that doesn't want to fence everything off https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/A_ride_on_the_Galloping_Goose_1_1951.JPG 01:18:26 <drac_boy> I'm sure the driver must had laid on the horn a bit there :) 01:19:39 * drac_boy wants to caption this one "umm hi cow?" https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/A_ride_on_the_Galloping_Goose_2_1951.JPG 01:19:41 <sim-al2> Converted schoolbus?

:) 01:23:27 <drac_boy> btw you reminded me and it took a while but I actually found a photo to start with..here http://www.flyhi.de/images/modellbau/inselbahn/inselbahn_postcard.jpg can you call that a "rail truck-bus" or what?? I imagine the first coach was generally mated permamently but it seem like the train sometimes could had another 1 or 2 coaches being hauled as well tho 01:24:04 <drac_boy> and from the look of that hood's suggestive engine age I imagine it didn't run that fast so apparently 3 coaches wasn't a burden on its small output 01:25:10 <sim-al2> Yeah, looks like a very light railway even now: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Wangerooge_Inselbahn_Zug.jpg 01:26:08 <drac_boy> yep I was right, the first coach is stuck on for good unless in a shop https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5093/5543029250_2b384cff3d_z.jpg 01:26:17 <sim-al2> Top speed: 20 km/h 01:26:28 <drac_boy> and are these mirrors I see over the front wheel fenders? 01:27:11 <sim-al2> Looks like it 01:27:32 <sim-al2> http://www.inselbahn.de/images/basic/borgw_19163-0_51.jpg 01:29:00 <sim-al2> Appears to be permantly joined with the carriage body: http://www.inselbahn.de/images/basic/borgw_19163-0_01.jpg 01:29:20 <drac_boy> btw this reallllllly looks like someone hammered a random bus onto a uk rail flatcar and called it a day http://www.traintesting.com/images/R3_railbus.jpg 01:30:11 <drac_boy> and um are these turn signal bezels turned into red panel instead? 01:30:12 <sim-al2> The railway is still operated by DB today 01:31:19 <sim-al2> Yeah, their were attempts to produce railbuses from bus parts, but the ones that appeared during the 60's and 70's were often mostly buses with rail underframes 01:31:53 <sim-al2> The Pacers, Class 141-144, do share a lot of bus parts, but had to go with a slightly more conventional body 01:32:07 <drac_boy> anyone want to take a cue from the nickname Bouncy Castle or even Pogo Stick? 01:32:16 <drac_boy> heh .. well ^^ 01:32:22 <sim-al2> Unfortunatly, a combination of being 4 wheel and having poor suspension makes for a bad ride 01:32:39 <drac_boy> yeah, that :) 01:33:07 <drac_boy> actually you remind me of another thing with uk dmu/emu's ... 01:33:13 <sim-al2> I'm sure people are alarmed that there's a proposal to rebuild them rather than replace... 01:34:18 <drac_boy> there was one that went by the class 422 or 442 (I forgot now) .. and they had composition tires (instead of standard steel ones) plus the fact that there was a corresponding signal bellcode for "train running away on right line" ... turns out these poor units slipped a lot on leaves so they could be found overshooting 01:34:44 <drac_boy> weird how the class # turned out to match perfectly with a bellcode for some strange reason 01:35:41 *** day\ [~day@a82-173.nat.uq.edu.au] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 01:36:42 <sim-al2> Hmm, 442 is the high speed 80's units, 422 is the code for the 4-BIG, nothing about different wheels 01:38:32 <drac_boy> hm might be another number off...oh well I don't recall where this old website was... 01:39:06 <drac_boy> I do recall that one of the class 16* something was literally called a T*rdo and the explanation given was "well what did BR expect?" 01:39:18 <drac_boy> I'm not sure I get it but I'm no english person tho :) 01:41:47 <drac_boy> oh btw I found it again from a forum list ..

:) 19:44:11 <andythenorth> yup 19:47:15 <FLHerne> Evening 19:48:19 <FLHerne> Spent almost a year doing [other stuff], but I'm back to trying to build a grf-editing tool now 19:48:25 <FLHerne> <Eddi|zuHause> it's really simple, actually. enable the bounding boxes (Ctrl+B if you have newgrf developer tools enabled). find the corner of the bounding box that is invisible. that need to be the coordinates for your offset 19:49:02 <FLHerne> <FLHerne> Eddi|zuHause: Relative to the top corner of the sprite? <Eddi|zuHause> yes 19:49:24 <FLHerne> I've tried following that, but it doesn't seem to give the same results as the game :-/ 19:49:33 <FLHerne> http://imgur.com/a/nHMIw 19:50:47 <Eddi|zuHause> things might be more complicated for shortened vehicles. i don't really remember 19:50:49 <FLHerne> The NML example road vehicle has offsets -14, -7, but the ingame bounding box seems to have offset -16, -6 according to those rules 19:51:05 <FLHerne> I think the NML one is standard-length? 19:51:19 <Alberth> cropping of image? 19:52:47 <FLHerne> Alberth: Horizontally, there's nothing to crop, I think cropping it vertically would be different in the opposite direction? 19:54:07 <FLHerne> Perhaps I should see how it comes out for other lengths/directions 19:54:09 <Alberth> depends on the side being cropped 19:54:26 <V453000> FLHerne: why do you care about bounding boxes? 19:54:54 <V453000> I always just put vehicles in game, see how it looks, adjust offsets if necessary (usually is) 19:55:05 <Alberth> original image + offset/size has all the non-transparent pixels at the same place as cropped image + adjusted offset/size 19:55:08 <V453000> bounding boxes are a nice hint but ... 19:55:20 <FLHerne> V453000: So that the user can drag a bounding box over the vehicle sprite and have their offsets automagically calculated 19:55:31 <FLHerne> Which only works if I can do the calculations right :P 19:55:31 <V453000> xd 19:55:35 <V453000> ah 19:55:37 <V453000> I see 19:55:41 <V453000> nice effort :) 19:55:57 <FLHerne> And yes, I know this is a terrible idea that'll probably never work out.
