25mph is because that's the preservation railway speed limit which is at every steam railway! Great video! Love to see more of steam loco videos and TS.2016 :)

It's not actually that hot in the cab. You normally have a flap that you can lift up over the entrance to the firebox so the heat is contained. On these preservation railways - or certainly the one I work on - you don't have to shovel coal too often so therefore it doesn't get too hot. Loving the videos Paul. Keep them up.

I agree, we need a rail network in TS. Just running a single line starts to be a bore to me.

I'm a volunteer on the Severn valley railway and I repair locos and stuff like that, last week I dressed up on the Santa specials, I've been doing it for 2 years now and hopefully one day I will become a driver, I've already had a footplate experience and helped shunting trucks in an 08 shunter btw I loved the video

I know this is three years old now, but three years ago I had never even heard of Train Simulator. You've probably figured it out by now, but I'll say it anyway: You don't need to let the brakes do all the work when heading downhill. I'm playing the Old West trains right now, and I don't even have a brake! Judicious use of the whistle will tell the brakemen when to apply and release. To control the speed close the regulator (throttle) and coast. After a minute or so you can reverse to whatever setting works for you. Bring the regulator back up to whatever setting works for you and use that to control your downhill speed. Great video, by the way.

you cant beat the old steam trains love it

I'm gonna buy this game, I'd probably use a lot of steam trains coz I LOVE them!

Around 11 mins the sounds are pretty much a good sound for a minimal techno song ;), loved to watch this vid btw

Wow! I go on this railway almost every summer and this map looks exactly the same as the real thing! Great vid Squirrel :)

I've ridden the steam train on this line from the other end, Minehead along to Watchet and back. This really captures the feeling of it quite well.

So satisfying hearing the classic "chugga chugga chugga." You have got to love the steam whistle too. What kid did not have the dream of riding up in the engineer section of a steam train and getting to pull the whistle?

Great video Paul! Loved that you did a video in the Watchet - Williton area!

Certainly seemed like a faster speed could have been issued. You did well. Most enjoyable and informative video. Thanks.

My army lorry has been on a military train on this exact track it was amazing. IRL. Squirrel you can go here in real life! There are so many pheasants on this line!

I think all the heritage railways are 25mph. Lovely vid, and the route is worth every penny, wouldn't you say.

Thanks for taking ,e on a virtual ride on my second favourite steam railway after the mid Hants

It is not unpleasant when your in the cab of one of them

Just loved it, thanks for sharing. I have the old microsoft train sim, This one is far superior to mine. I would like a new one, wondered if this one is still available. I have my own layout so can run my engines, but when its cold its nice to be indoors and as you say just watch the scenery go by ha ha ha. Well done great video. All the best Duncan.

Great video Paul. FYI all heritage railways in England have a speed limit of 25mph imposed on them so that they can run under a light railway order. A light railway order allows them to run without modern safety equipment, i.e. locked doors etc.

Great Video! There are still some small stations where you can cross the track, Ribblehead is one.

Just a couple helpful hints: Bishops Lydeard is pronounced Bih-shups Lid-e-yard. (Stress yard) 25m/h maximum is because it is a preserved railway under light railway order which allows a maximum of 25 or sometimes 30 unless special permission is granted for TPO runs or it's the GCR. The loco has a driver who runs the loco, a fireman (on the left for GWR) who manages the pressure (water and coal) and on the mainline or visiting locos a 3rd member, the traction inspector. The inspector makes sure no safety violations are occurring and if anything does happy, he records it. Privately owned locos have an owners rep too.

This reminds me of the Severn Valley Railway. Great Video Squirrel :D

that is cool i used to live in bishops lydeard was great being a kid near the WSR.

great video squirrel

When I see these trains it always reminds me of Back to the Future 3. I love that movie.

Squirrel, the reason the line is so slow is that heritage railways are restricted to operate at 25 miles per hour. The only circumstance I know of that it can be increased is for railways that have an AWS system of some kind.

Great work squirrel, keep them coming🚂🚞🚞🚞

I love the steam trains. Awesome video. :D

I think for the brake leak thing you need to open the Small and/or Large Ejectors for it to be able to hold pressure. That's what I'm remembering from a similar steam train anyway. I don't think that bit is covered by the auto fireman.

I live next to this railway!! nice video squirrel!

17:40 @Squirrel near enough all heritage lines are 25mph, because of the old rolling stock, wagons, trains and tracks

WSR is a heritage railway, that is why the limit is 25mph

Omg it's another steam run!

nice videos are coming out everyday!

Would be nice to see larger areas of train routes in Europe, Canada and US. But, with so much detail that they put into the scenery, maybe the files would be way too large or PC's would require a lot more resources. Flight Sims. and Truck Sims utilize a lot more generic ground features, so they can get by with large maps of a country or the world. I know technology is changing, who knows what's ahead in the next couple of years. I'm 66 YO and only hope to see it keep developing.

also awsome vid i injoy watching it alot

The brakes are vacuum brakes, meaning that the brakes are held off by the vacuum pressure. A leak anywhere in the system will automatically apply the brakes making this a fail safe system. The pressure gauge indicates the pressure in the brake cylinder. The lower the indicated pressure the harder the brakes are applied.

2 drivers? One of them is the driver and one of them is a fireman.

Heck of a good train ride on that old Train Paul. Where all the steam that comes out around the wheels when they stop, like on those old Western movies ? That'd be nice to see. The sim looks great. keep on doing what you do Paul !

Love that intro btw

Squirrel, if you want a game to control your own railroad, get the Railroad Tycoon series. I suggest the third one as it's 3d, but the second one is spectacular.

good video Paul

Paul i love your ts vids i hope you can do maybe a American freight scenario

Nice video

12.36 I live in the next village along from bishops and believe it or not the crossings are still in full use there

bishop lydeard is pronounced: bishop lid-e-ard :-) the reason why there is a 25mph limit is due to the fact that the heritage railway company (West Somerset Railway) want the passengers to enjoy the scenery

Nice :D

You should do more steam engines, Paul!

Squirrel old chap. You're having trouble controlling your speed down hill because your reverser is set way too high. Too much steam going to the cylinders mate. with the throttle at zero use the reverser to control the speed. Much easier than trying to correcting "balance" of the brakes.

@DanielW3440

If going downhill, the reverser will do nothing with the regulator (throttle) shut. Brakes are definitely required.

Not on a real steam locomotive. If it's an accurate re-creation, it will inhail gasses from the smoke box then compress it on the exhaust stroke if the engine is running opposite of what the reverse lever is positioned. If this is not an accurate re-creation then just give it a tiny bit of throttle.

When I was watching this I realised that you were exactly where I was

(Lid-e-ard) squirrel! 😉

What is my life I'm waisting time watching a Train sim but Ican't look away.

5:05 I guess people play these sims for different reasons because funnily enough, I tend to play TS to challenge myself with steam locos and see if I can drive them in advanced with no prior experience in career mode.

My local heritage line!!

Paul can you stream or do a video on the west highland line extension or west highland line south it has fantastic scenery!

More trucking diaries

Awww yeah!!!!!

good vid

I'm still waiting for someone to make the Fitchburg railway for the MBTA. It follows historic route 2

please do quick drive with GWR 6960 steam loco! but, if you spedding, you don't need to worry because you don't lose any points!!!

ive been on this railway and been to williton on this is so=uch a good ride u can stick your head out the window becuz it is single railway no need to worry about getting your head smashed off by a train

if you have a long trip and want a fast trip and comfort the "supertrains" are much better, the steam locomotives are much cooler tho!

I love the game to

Nice intro

Hey Squirrel are you going to get Train Sim World Heavy Haul when it comes out ? did you see the videos about it?

on steam trains the pressure of the brakes will rise as you are not using the brakes and there is a build up of brake pressure meaning with high pressure you will brake faster the brake pressure will increase it makes it realistic if it does that

It's slow because in the UK preserved railways are legally light rail not heavy rail so have a top speed of only 25

How did you get that resolution!!!!!!!! I need it

I have missed your omsi 2 content will you be doing anymore

has squirrel every done a video in a LNER A3 or a4?

What's the command for the display and automatic coal and water?

MINEHEAD I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SOMERSET

"Good evening, Squirrel.. My, you are looking fine (must be all those nuts)... Well now... Isn't this splendid: bounding along the old Somerset Cheese line, as we used to do frequently before old Beeching, got into league with the motorway brigade.. But with good old Squirrel at the wheel- well- several dozen wheels to be exact, we can be sure to arrive at the destination in style... Am I alone in thinking the age of steam was superb? I mean; even that old chestnut- the 'B.R. Special'- the onboard sandwich- tasted far better back then, than any similar type does today. That said, I must dash for now.. Must get back to Fawlty Towers, by ten, to make last orders at the bar.. Nothing like a spot of Captain Morgans, before bed, now is there old boy? ... Tally-ho for now!"

yeah its steam train time choooo chooooooooo

Where i can by the game?

You do know that you can actually use the reverser for braking, right? If you put it into "reverse" the steam will act the opposite way against the cycling and slow down the wheel revolution. Also, if you're curious, there is this rather awesome training video on how to become a steam driver in the good old days: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4d5y8Wpocfbnaw.html

I have been on this railway and the first station is pronounced bishops li-de-ard

I wrote a blog post a while back about how I f*cking hate video games. Because you see this is what it does, it appeals to like, the male fantasy.

it's 25mph because that's the limitation for a private track like that.
