This story is a sequel to Apple Family Reunion
A year has passed since the re-discovery and restoration of the Everfree Forest Railroad. Keen not to be outdone, Rumble, Pipsqueak, and Button Mash, alongside some new friends, find the remains of an old diesel hydraulic, and resolve to restore it to working condition.
Easier said than done...
Marking a year since the release of Railway Adventure.

I get the feeling you dig trains, boyo.
9835385
Oh, I do. I thought my account name gave it away, but apparently not.
Theres a song about Pips hometown?
Down in Nottingham?
If you really want something sad to see, especially for a railway lover, head to Manchester, Museum of Science and Industry.
Where they have Rocket on display.
9835464
I went to MOSI when they still had the mainline connection. Couldn't fit it in on my most recent visit to Manchester, but I did take a ride on the Chord- a stretch of railway that didn't exist the previous time I'd been there!
9835472
Weird how one of the best ways to get from Manchester Picadilly to Manchester Victoria, is the Newcastle train. Im just sad they couldnt use the existing or removed East side link through or past Ancotts? or they couldnt keep Fairfield St station for extra Picadilly capacity.
9835479
Yeah. It takes ages by train.
9835630
Thanks. Yeah, maybe I was a little long winded.
9835665
Later chapters are less so.
9835677
Indeed. But more on that tomorrow.
9835692
Well, not at the weekend, but more on that later.
9835702
Liki.
9835722
Ah.
9835771
Ara?
9835780
Right.

Creative Hashtag from yours truly X3
9835845
Yes indeed! Fire up the engines, as WE ARE ROLLING!
9835848
Whoop.
9835878
Heh :3
9835965
But not just yet. More shall arrive tomorrow.
9835986
Okie :3
9836002
And it shall be glorious.
9836048
Indeed :3
9836049
You're quick off thr mark today!
9835412
Names can be deceiving. Looking at mine, you'd think I was some kind of bozo. Only half true. I'm a well-rounded bozo.
9836083
Ah. I never thought that.
9836164
De loop.
9837174
Doop.
9837176
The new chapter is here.
9837189
Fantastic.
9837189
Thanks. What did you think of Apple Bloom's new clothing choice?
9837462
I know. I saw that image and my heart melted.
9837564
I agree. It's beautifully done.
9837601
Which is your favourite CMC member?
Bring it on! X3
9837830
What did you think of Apple Bloom's new attire?
9837880
Noice :3
9837893
Yeah. I thought that image was adorable first time I saw it.
Just hope they find the right shed. Someone almost found Rocket in one?
9837922
People aroind here like doing that, it seems.

Id love to build a high pressure combustion chambered water tube boiler using a multistage turbocharger and magnetic oxygen seperator pre feed with catalytic surfaces and certain machined and formes surface details, just to see how small you can get if you seperate out the temperature resistance and pressure handling capabilities of the materials involved. Id really love to get oxy carbonyl flame hot enough that magnetic confinement and wiggler MHD direct conversion is needed as a first stage.
9837960
Sounds fun.
9837974
Yup, amazing what you can find in sheds.
9837980
Class 66s?
9838118
Not sure, wasnt the Flying Scotsman abandoned in a USA shed due to lack of funds for a while?
9838150
It ended up in San Francisco bay for a bit, then an Army base.
Oh no. Air Pirates.
Hmm, diesel Hydraulic? I thought that was related to automatic transmission with the torque converter, but where the two half turbines are seperated by hydraulic transmission lines? I know you can have buffers and accumulators, but they are extremely low capacity due to how the system works.
Thats why I had a look at ways of designing variable geared hydraulics back in university. Essentially a hydraulic ADC to DAC lifting jack with variable ratio, but flow rates instead of straight pressure. Four valves on each side gives (2^4)^2 or 256 ratios, with some overlaps and redundancies. Was origionally considered for robotics and prostheses.
I think I also tried finding any implementation where the hydraulics were used to replace crankshafts and conrods in a diesel engine, so you had the diesel engine head, valves, pistons etc, but the pistons directly acted on hydraulic fluid, for varying stroke, ratios etc?
9839070
I doubt an aircraft could even move a Class 52 in one piece!
9839071
Im pretty sure the An225 can lift the Big Boy?
9839076
It could carry the weight of one, but obviously in pieces.
But there aren't many of those around.
I'm so bad at guessing >_<
