00:01:11 <sim-al2> I assume they used tank locomotives because those can run backwards without being turned, but suffer from smaller capacities 00:01:56 <Hiddenfunstuff> Yeah 00:02:15 <Hiddenfunstuff> Shunting with a heavy freight locomotive might be difficult.. 00:02:52 <drac_boy> sim-a12 actually it depends... 00:02:58 <sim-al2> It's done around the world now, but a tender steam locomotive usually can not reverse very quickly as the tender derails easily 00:03:05 <drac_boy> some tank locomotives had full-length water tanks (or combining it with saddle tank) 00:03:30 <drac_boy> so they could carry quite a lot of water which only left the coal fuel as the limit factor (unless some of the coal was stored ahead of the cab too) 00:05:25 <drac_boy> this one stops a bit short of where the front boiler assembly is but it gives you an idea tho http://d240vprofozpi.cloudfront.net/locos/T/t1_1.jpg 00:07:27 <sim-al2> Some tanks had water storage between the frame rails too, I guess that one is extended range :) 00:09:33 <FLHerne> sim-al2: Very few well-tanks in the UK, only the Beattie and Adams ones after the early 20th century? 00:10:31 <sim-al2> I wish I knew, it seems the UK had a love of side-tank designs while other countries seem to have wells or even saddles instead 00:10:38 <FLHerne> Very cute little things :-) http://www.flyingscotsman.org.uk/globalmedia/DF080861-71521_2.png 00:11:53 <sim-al2> And then you have the question of whether a Shay type is a tender locomotive: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/MCRR_Three_Truck_Shay_Number-9_001.JPG 00:13:20 <FLHerne> The tanks are on the same frame as the boiler, so it isn't :P 00:15:30 <FLHerne> Now, Garratts are less obvious 00:15:34 <drac_boy> sim-a12 I never understood uk's weird thing with 0-4-2 and 2-4-0 using the exact same chassis that could fit a 0-6-0 drive! 00:16:01 <FLHerne> The water tank isn't on the same frame as the boiler, but the boiler doesn't have any of its own wheels 00:16:02 <drac_boy> flherne .. shays as a 2-truck one were indeed a bit like tank locomotives .. not too sure how a 3-truck shay would be called tho 00:17:53 <FLHerne> I'd still say no 00:18:40 <drac_boy> and mallets were often the tank type too ;) 00:18:51 <drac_boy> (well at least outside usa and some heavy lines) 00:19:03 <FLHerne> If anything's supporting the weight of both the boiler and the water tank, I'd still not call it a tender loco 00:20:17 <drac_boy> flherne then why *is* there a tender box? 00:20:36 <drac_boy> heck what about the Erie Triplex which still had powered drivers under the tender chassis itself? :) 00:20:49 <drac_boy> heh 00:20:57 <sim-al2> And the locomotives with booster trucks for starting 00:21:25 <drac_boy> sim-a12 ah well boosters is a different matter from always-in-use fullsize pistons 00:21:27 <FLHerne> tender: "ship that usually provides supplies to other ships [syn: {supply ship}]" 00:21:38 <FLHerne> I'd guess trains stole the terminology from boats as usual 00:22:16 <FLHerne> So "other" is important, I'd say if the tank's resting on the same wheels as the boiler it isn't a separate entity 00:22:53 <drac_boy> flherne .. heh well the box is supplying water/coal to a firebox thats not sitting in the same chassis 00:23:04 <drac_boy> so technically it still does deserve 'tender' 00:23:22 <sim-al2> Some locomotives ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Locomotive_DONJ_12_07.JPG ) have rigid frames but the water tank has its own wheels 00:23:37 <FLHerne> That was about the mallet/shay/garratt thing, not sure about the triplex 00:23:43 <drac_boy> btw if anyone here wanted to know this is a similar copy of the strange Triplex http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/triplex/virgin28884.jpg 00:23:58 <drac_boy> they failed mainly due to lack of sufficent steam pressure 00:24:34 <drac_boy> (also I dunno how having two LP pistons feed one HP piston really worked in theory too) 00:25:20 <sim-al2> It think it's HP feeding LP 00:25:31 <FLHerne> Aw, I'd forgotten how cute Adams tanks are https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Fletching_Bluebell_Railway_Adams_4-4-2T_at_Sheffield_Park_geograph-2982220-by-Ben-Brooksbank.jpg 00:25:45 <sim-al2> Like a Mallet, the LP cylinders are larger to compensate for the reduced pressure 00:26:28 <drac_boy> sim-a12 the problem is that its usually a 1:1 ratio .. the triplex messed up that ratio 00:27:23 <drac_boy> either way I almost forgot (since we're onto mallets atm) heres one you don't see often .. http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/triplex/virgin28884.jpg thankfully santa fe saw a good boiler they had (even as much as the drives were not) so theirs got rebuilt into more conventional non-mallet locomotives and lasted a long time that way instead 00:27:47 <sim-al2> Ok, so on the Triplex the center cylinders are HP, and the front and rear LP, and the HP cylinders are large enough for each to supply to two LP cylinders 00:28:17 <drac_boy> I think the rebuild were (not surprisingly) just 2-10-2's ... will have to find 00:29:56 <drac_boy> btw sorry about having to end a long interesting mix of subjects but I'm going off for a bit now .. maybe talk again about something next time ok? :) 00:30:10 <Hiddenfunstuff> yes 00:30:13 <sim-al2> Ok bye 00:30:16 <drac_boy> bye :) 00:30:18 *** drac_boy [~oftc-webi@modemcable027.125-163-184.mc.videotron.ca] has left #openttd [] 00:30:20 <FLHerne> Bye

I just discovered autorenew as a feature (currenty at version 1.3.3). however, while it is working great for trains and road vehicles, it seems to fail for ships and planes. no matter how often I send them to maintenance, they keep getting older. any idea? 11:20:08 <Wolf01> upgrade to 1.5.2 11:21:16 <norro> oh. so it's a bug in 1.3.3? 11:21:35 <Wolf01> i don't know, but if it is, this is the only way to get rid of it 11:23:01 <norro> I see. The openttd wiki doesn't say anything about ships and planes, the example is always trains. so I was wondering if this feature is available for ships and planes at all. 11:23:12 <norro> but then I will try upgrading. thx 11:23:24 <Taede> should be equal for all vehicle types afaik 11:29:06 <Terkhen> Good morning 11:33:57 *** oskari89 [oskari89@83-102-63-32.bb.dnainternet.fi] has joined #openttd

that are also linksâ bug me in all the apps I build 15:28:57 <andythenorth> never found a good solution 15:30:03 <TrueBrain> 2 solutions: 1) dont do it (ghehehe) 15:30:14 <TrueBrain> 2) make a nice icon 15:30:21 <TrueBrain> I found both work equally well 15:30:44 <TrueBrain> I guess my main issue with eints and links in headers is, that it is not consistent 15:30:52 <TrueBrain> if I go to a project, the header is not a link 15:31:03 <TrueBrain> if I go to a language, the same header, looking EXACTLY the same, is a link 15:31:07 <TrueBrain> I have no visual feedback that happened 15:31:25 <andythenorth> I am thinking header is not a link 15:31:28 <TrueBrain> (not trying to be rude; really loving eints :D Just this stood out to me ;)) 15:31:31 <andythenorth> and make an explicit text link 15:31:36 <andythenorth> yeah it bothered me for a long time 15:31:59 <TrueBrain> the other one that stands out to me, that the order is: unknown, correct, outdated, invalid, missing 15:32:06 <TrueBrain> I would do: unknown, outdated, invalid, missing, correct 15:32:11 <TrueBrain> as the correct are the least important ;) 15:32:25 <TrueBrain> even: unknown, invalid, outdated, missing, correct 15:32:32 <TrueBrain> as invalid is worse than outdated :D 15:35:00 <drac_boy> sim-a12 heh ok, always prefer coal (or sometimes wood on smaller things) myself but to our own 15:37:38 <drac_boy> sim-a12 oil sometimes makes me think of these ;) http://www.calclassic.com/alco/photos/cnw1667.jpg 15:39:02 <sim-al2> Close, some of the gas turbines burned the same heavy oil that the steamers did, but that fuel became more expensive when the plastics industry became big in the 1960's 15:59:33 <drac_boy> sim-a12 heh well it still shows the truth behind the unofficial saying "alcos that thinks they're steam locomotives" :) 15:59:48 <drac_boy> worser tho of course is the lack-of-maintenance alco units in india/etc .. these REALLY smoke badly 16:01:06 <drac_boy> this isn't full throttle yet but it does show you what I mean about maintenance tho http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2645/3826744366_04308b0edc.jpg 16:04:59 <drac_boy> btw about gas turbine .. that was one of the few primary reasons for the up turbine .. at the time the refineries had little idea what to do with "bunker c" (as it was called) oil ... so up got this fuel for very cheap 16:06:10 <drac_boy> but of course later the diesel hp got better (probably partially thanks to SP's stubborn play on buying the german units to prove it) on top of bunker c being found use for causing price to go up .. that kinda impacted the up turbine's value 16:11:57 <sim-al2> I've seen some suggestions that Russian diesel refining is not as pure as western standards, and that is supposedly why Russian locomotives are particularly strong smokers 16:12:27 *** liq3 [liq3@CPE-120-148-51-74.gdfw1.lon.bigpond.net.au] has quit [] 16:14:18 <drac_boy> sim-a12 heh well...a lot of the earlier multi-unit diesels had 2-stroke as well 16:14:32 <drac_boy> that partially explains some of the heavy russia smokes :) 16:15:07 <sim-al2> Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston two-stroke engines no less (not licensed of course) 16:16:23 <drac_boy> heh tbh FM locomotives were interesting (and some with their own unique features) that its kinda too bad not a lot of them survived :-s ... even canada did have some of the carbody opposited-piston's too 16:18:48 <drac_boy> (also worth mentioning that the FM TrainMaster was 2400hp which was quite ahead of anyone else, but orders were somewhat limited .. funny enough SP apparently had to buy some of them too) 16:18:57 <sim-al2> Although the Kolomna works has developed their own engines now, the 2-stroke 14D40 of the 60's (notorious for its smoke, and oil and fuel consumption), and the more modern engines used in the "Ludmilla" locomotives for East Germany and the TE70 freight locomotives that power many Russian/CIS trains 16:19:13 <drac_boy> as I recall it was "heavier train at faster speed" slogan which was a big thing back then 16:20:05 <sim-al2> The real interesting part is that the engine design was not that different from their submarine engines 16:20:55 <drac_boy> sim-a12 I believe even the Deltic was borrowing a marine design as to find further purposes for the engine license :) 16:21:51 <sim-al2> The Deltic engine was used in a small number of fast patrol craft for many years 16:22:52 <drac_boy> its still sometimes hard to think that they got 3000hp out of a locomotive (the Deltic itself) thats much lighter than a "conventional" 2000hp one 16:23:07 <drac_boy> but hey it worked well for them for some time :) 16:24:41 <sim-al2> Two high speed engines vs a large medium speed of lowish output (the Class 40 engine was rated at 2000hp, but the very similar engine in the Class 50 put out 2700hp) 16:26:02 <drac_boy> ah about russia that reminds me sim-a12 I don't know if you knew of it yet but what do you think of the GT-1 in russia? I mean I still am curious what kind of exhaust muffling system they use (given the very high temperatures) as I don't think its a straight pipe for health reasons 16:26:36 <sim-al2> The DF200 is an interesting engine: 3400/3600 hp diesel that weighes 96t ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JR_Freight_Class_DF200 ) 16:28:06 <sim-al2> the GT-1 is pretty cool, but I don't see it becoming a dominant type because it doesn't seem to have the technology to overcome the efficiency problems 16:28:47 <drac_boy> sim-a12 well the efficiency isn't as that bad in russia as it could had been elsewhere.. russia really has a lot of nonstop-for-a-long-time freight train so the turbine is a bit easier to fit in 16:29:26 <drac_boy> but hmm yeah I still wonder why there doesn't seem to be a visible small non-traction genset engine for if it had to stop for a long time somewhere (or I'm just looking at pre-productions photos) 16:29:59 <sim-al2> It should be great for heavy freight, if kept well loaded it should be very efficient, but not all freight can be run that way 16:30:34 <sim-al2> Apparently Russia has a history of gas-turbine types too: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7 16:30:52 <sim-al2> (damn IRC client, I hope that comes out right) 16:31:56 <sim-al2> What's rather interesting is that one section of the locomotive is essentianlly a large gas cylinder 16:31:59 <Rubidium> why wouldn't it? 16:32:13 <drac_boy> sim-a12 its not irc .. the wiki links can be odd when using non-english characters 16:32:15 <drac_boy> I'm looking atm tho 16:32:34 <sim-al2> My IRC client bungles non-Latin characters quite badly 16:32:48 *** glx [~glx@000128ec.user.oftc.net] has joined #openttd 16:32:51 *** mode/#openttd [+v glx] by ChanServ 16:33:05 <drac_boy> btw sim-a12 I believe the big tank is due to needing to operate over long distance without requiring a very long chassis (as one would need for under-chassis slung fuel tank) 16:33:20 <Rubidium> also, it has nothing to do with wiki but rather with most browsers going with escape codes for non-ASCII stuff to prevent issues with different code pages and the likes 16:33:21 <drac_boy> I think its partially due to the higher fuel useage of the turbine units 16:33:55 <sim-al2> That's the reason, I think it's to allow a stronger construction for the tank while still having a place for more traction motors and a cab 16:33:58 <drac_boy> oh and btw sim-a12 its nothing to do with rails (but I came across it a few days ago) ... I don't know much of the story but can I show you an interesting usa truck? :) 16:34:09 <sim-al2> sure 16:34:15 <sim-al2> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/%D0%93%D0%A21h-002.jpg 16:34:34 <sim-al2> The pre-production model didn't have the pretty carbody over the fuel tank 16:34:43 <drac_boy> does anything look strange to you sim-a12 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f1z0oWVlEqE/VO-e-9seELI/AAAAAAAAA-0/_bUu1mJoaTA/s1600/kenworthboeing-1952-4.jpg :p 16:35:38 <drac_boy> sim-a12 if you not sure I can show you a better photo that tells more of the story 16:35:41 <sim-al2> Well not having an engine hood (or a visible engine block except for that that circular thing) seems a little... off... ;) 16:36:14 <drac_boy> sim-a12 heh you got it right .. it was an unusual test with kenworth+boeing re a turbine powered truck .. this shows how TINY the turbine was compared to a standard piston engine http://assets.blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2011/05/KenworthBoeinggasturbinetruck_1000-700x546.jpg 16:36:36 <drac_boy> almost could not even need any hood .. except for the few firewall-mounted accessories 16:36:43 <sim-al2> Damn should have seen that exhaust pipe, I expected a flat engine or a electric motor 16:37:01 <drac_boy> ah yep... hot turbine gas :) 16:37:05 *** Raiz [~raiz@00020a02.user.oftc.net] has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.1.1] 16:37:09 <drac_boy> thats why they always had big exhaust anyhow :) 16:37:34 <sim-al2> You know that saying, "What's old is new again"? 16:37:58 <drac_boy> I imagine this kind of truck was best with a warehouse-to-warehouse non-city direct route (you know, needing very little stopping at all) 16:38:08 <sim-al2> I see that Walmart is designing hybrid turbine-electric trucks for their warehouse runs 16:38:35 <drac_boy> but I imagine it was more of a test than an actual road idea because I can't see how such anti-city operation could easily be done 16:38:37 *** Arveen [~Arveen@ip-95-223-75-47.hsi16.unitymediagroup.de] has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de] 16:38:56 <drac_boy> heck even some of the big warehouses are located right inside urban areas so a lot of stop and go is still required 16:39:03 <sim-al2> I imagine in the 1950's it would be easier with emptier roads 16:39:43 <sim-al2> Assuming they don't have to go off the highways, because then it would have been much worse 16:39:48 <drac_boy> that perhaps is true yeah .. even then chicago still had a lot of stuff inside urban areas (would you believe that 6-floor skytowers could be only a few hundred meters away from cattle holding pens? 16:40:22 <sim-al2> Yeah, Chicago is rather odd in terms of land-use 16:40:58 <sim-al2> Not too many places have suburban grid-patterns with an airport in the middle of that grud 16:41:03 <sim-al2> *grid 16:41:35 <drac_boy> oh and about 1950's ... would you believe the pain some truck drivers have with trying to stuff a 50ft trailer into a very old brick loading bay (sitting sideway to the street) that was originally only designed for single-axle 20ft trailers from a LONG time ago? 16:41:51 <drac_boy> their number may be small but they still exist in pretty much any urban areas 16:41:58 <sim-al2> I suppose it's basically required for a hybrid prototype, but the Hybrid turbine trucks has some interesting styling: http://www.hybridcars.com/electrified-hybrid-turbine-powered-trucks-in-walmart-future/ 16:42:59 <sim-al2> Oh I imagine, backing a trailer into an alley barely wider than the trailer and then turning it into a loading bay... I don't know that I could do that (without hitting things) 16:44:41 <drac_boy> sim-a12 not sure why photo is rotated but this gives you an idea and its only a small tractor instead! http://www.urbanreviewstl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/culinarialocustaug2011.jpg 16:46:47 <drac_boy> actually I know one exact spot in ottawa-hull that I always see various 3-axle straight body trucks using once some days .. its a pain re having to hump the front-right tire over north sidewalk then hope traffic uses some common sense and come to a stop while the poor truck backs down (street is 3 lanes wide) into a narrow but deep alley 16:49:17 <drac_boy> anyway sim-a12 I'll let you have fun with whatever else you were doing allright?
