The Great Western Guy

Hi everyone! My name is Lucas, and I am a train enthusiast from the West Midlands and a volunteer at the Great Central Railway. I post regular content related to the railways in the UK, modern and heritage.
I tend to travel around a fair bit, meaning that all of my content will vary from place to place, and of course, I will be uploading some Train Sim World and Train Simulator Classic content when there isn't much interesting stuff going on.
I hope you guys like the content!
If you'd like to support the channel further, donate here! paypal.me/TheGreatWesternGuy
All donations will go back into the channel, improving the quality of the content seen here.
Enjoy!

    10/10 for the graphics, 2/10 for the sound and 3/10 for the physics. It neither sounds like a Valenta nor accelerates like one. It's about 3/4 of a second between revving the engine and the wheels starting to move- here it's accelerating like my car. (constructive criticism)
