Even though the new Standard 4MT Tanks by CW came as a surprise Kris really did well on them. Hopefully the same goes for the new 14XX’s and Small Prairies that have now been comissioned for him to do

Gotta say it's a fresh update over the old one we've had for a good few years now

A magnificent locomotive, it's a pity that it can't be bought from Russia🙁

Im living for all of wayside's DLC❤

So the little chamber on the running board is a resonating chamber to somewhat quieten the sound from the vacuum brake's ejector, as they can get very loud. It's fictional, so I nicked it off of a Dutch tram loco! The vacuum "flap" is also inspired by the design the Rotterdamse Tramweg Maatschappij used, a design much simpler than your traditional vacuum valve which I imagine would work well on a preservation mod. The flap essentially just opens the system to the atmosphere which overpowers the ejector and applies the brakes, when you let go of it again the flap gets sucked back onto the "pillar" and closes the circuit again, releasing the brakes. There is also a lamp iron on the back, if you have the cab back enabled, that is. The pump is also not a crosshead pump, it's an eccentric pump so it's got its own eccentric rod driving it rather than the crosshead, functionally the same though.

The only thing I'm not a fan of, is the choices for the green. The GWR one is just all the same shade and the BR one is as well, but is a weird shade as well. BMG/PLD has got the shades right (like on the Castle), different shades for GWR, post-war GWR for the first BR shade and then a more rich green for BR's own shade

This is just Train Sim in a nutshell, can't wait to see the B class review though

The one thing I notice on any GWR models (3D or real) is the whistle placement is always the Collett-style, with the high tone on the left side and the low tone on the right. When the 1361's were built it was the other way around, so the driver had access to the high tone first. This changed for some reason when Collett obviously introduced the whistle chain that could be operated from both sides, and a few older designs were swapped to this

Easily one of Kris’ best models

Good to see you back and I'll be seeing Beachy Head myself next month when I go to Bluebell for the first time. As for sounds for the H2's hopefully sometime after she's out running they'll change the H2 sounds to Beachy Head's sounds

Loved the Intro XD

Glad to see you back 👍

Do some more vids of this pulling wagons and ither rolling stock!

Hello, this is a bit of a longshot, 1st off though love the content! and I've subbed to you :) So I've installed quite a lot of stuff from wayside works, to the usual Rail works folder, each locomotive/rolling stock is showing up in Trainsim classic, but when I go to place them on the rails nothing happens, I've got each loco ticked as well so I'm not sure why non are working, is there something I'm missing ?

I love that the car horn at the beginning censored you

The exhaust definitely sounds like its from the Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet 'Blanche'

Just after WW1 the internal combustion engine became widly and cheaply available for the general public and industry. Several railroads around the globe experimented with petrol powered trains, Goods vans railway carriages and even some shunter locomotives got petrol engines. The worldwide financial crisis made lightweight economical trains a necessary need and buslike lightweight trains were developed The widly and cheaply available Ford model TT/ AA ( truck/lorry version of the T and A ) drivetrain and chassis is the base of alot of these often build in house rail busses. The petrol period of the railways is often forgotten by the public, because ist a very shorty span from the end of WW1 till the early 30's when the Diesel period started. But it marks an important period that led to the modern lightweight DMU/EMU's today.

It's not a Ford, it's a Shefflex, different manufacturer! The Selsey Tramway actually had quite an extensive fleet of locomotives, one of which (Ringing Rock) is represented in my Manning Wardle K Class pack. The other button in the cab is actually a decompression handle, which stops the motor.

A cavalcade of beautiful steam trams, all huddled together like a big fam. Painted in different coats of livery, belonging to different other railway companies in England. They are all just super astounding. Hmmm, I once dreamed of owning me a cool steam tram, but I wanted it to be used for private railroading services. It was painted in the sort of colors a Capricorn like me wanted to: a special Hershey's chocolate brown all over, trimmed with a lining of light shade of caramel around the cab windows and frame edges, the sideplates was color in commemorative navy blue, and lastly the cowcatchers on each end were a sheer, glossy metallic silver. I basically wanted my tram to look like how Toby looked in the _Railway Series,_ but my tram would fictionally be his exact twin brother, only built 3 months younger than Toby. And the name my tram engine I always wanted to dub it for was "Sireacio (pronounced 'SUR-REE-SEE-OH')" plastered on two nameplates to place on both sides of it.

Nicely done, TSL. This is a truly superb bit of kit for us dockyard and shunting enthusiasts. As you've suggested, I have built a tiny dockyard route specifically for WW's industrial locos. Be sure to get all the Elias D stock while you're at it. The AB16" is equally terrific. Many thanks.

There's some nice footage of Seaham harbour out there, showing why the loco needed to be kept in service until the 1970s!

Can you educate us on installing wayside works products, please?

Glad you love it! It's not actually got the same engine as the Finch, it's completely new based on the actual George Chaplin VB designs. Loved your reaction to the water pump as well, although you did prime it immediately lol. The chaldrons you pulled come with Seaham 18, btw, not this. The low down cab view is so you can actually get to the firebox door, as you can't see it from the regular views.

In terms of VW standards, the model is okay, there are lots of features missing that itehr VW locos have that this one doesn’t, example: opening roof hatches and moving reverser. Otherwise from those It’s a solid model. Not their best work (their best work is the WD 2-8-0 and 2-10-0s) but decent

I love this little goober engine :)

First things first, thank you once again for reviewing one of my locos, it's always good fun to see one of your vids show up on my feed. Straight out the gate: I forgot to include the manual in the first version. Redownload it for the manual. It explains (among other things) how the RGB shader works and how to do the other variations. Next thing: Noelle is pronounced No-elle, not Noel! xD And after this one I'll get out of your hair: the current Cockatiel, lore-wise, is basically overwriting the old one. The old one was a generally kinda poo design with not much thought put in, whereas I've now got a more established visual style for Birchwood's locomotives. I love your point about having a laugh while devving, because that's one of the things I value most in doing this, to have fun! Some people, not naming names, take this hobby way too seriously and really ought to take it down a couple pegs.

This is an excellent loco. You need the manual to explain the scripting features. Nice review!

I don't think the colour is incorrect at 8:25 as I believe there was a lot of variation in br blue, I may well be wrong though :) Excellent video as always

Great review and drive, really enjoyed this one. Also, the new intro is fantastic, well done. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.

Caledonia Works’ models are very uh, mixed imo They charge 19 pounds which is about 25 US dollars for me plus tax for about 4-6 liveries of a locomotive. The exterior of their locos are an A for sure, not Bossman Games level, but they looks great, although some detail are quite fake-ish looking The cab is a B- for me. It looks fine, but the lack of interactivity compared to other 3rd party model makers like VW and BMG is quite embarrassing, like you can’t even move the water gauges or drain them. The cab lamp I hate so much because it cuts my fps by 15-30 and the fact sometimes windows can’t open is just not acceptable in this time and age. The physics is a C of their overall catalog. Their models pre-2022 or so don’t even have a simulated steam chest. The water injectors are way to simple for my liking. The overall driving of the locos is much better and the tractive effort and speed are quite good. The sound is a B, the locos with SSS sound are decent but not by any means their best work. Models without their sounds aren’t bad, but not impressive. Sometimes they even reuse sounds like whistles from other models. Effects like steam and cocks are just ok so they get a B. Some models looks better than others but some are just disappointing. The lbscr e4 doesn’t even have steam coming from the C.Cs. when they are turned on. Sometimes the exhaust will absolutely yeet the used steam into the air. Overall, they’re B tier compared to VW and BMG and even older models from Just Trains. I still buy from them, but they aren’t the best by any means

Is that in Blackpool?

Very nice loco, nice review. Are you able to find out which route this is? i quite like how quaint it is. thank you.

It's adorable

its always really nice to see some high quality freeware content for Railworks

Yeah Mawddwy is difficult. 'Maw' is like "Mao", the 'dd' part is basically like a 'th' sound and the 'y' in "wy" sounds similar to how the 'i' is pronounced in "win". Welsh is hard, even for me who's learnt it in school and grown up in Wales

These are terrific locos. The included coaching stock, too. I'm using Menai in free-lanced preservation scenarios is it has vac braking, which I think is required for any kind of passenger work. The weathered black is especially well done, as much as any VW, CW, DT or other "major" builders. I hope we'll get to see some of the other locos posted on the Discord server, as they also seem extremely well done. Many thanks.

Thanks as always for reviewing! Couple points to clear some things up: - Menai is pronounced "Men-aye", Aldwyth is pronounced "Alld-with", and Mawddwy is pronounced "Maoo-thee" - Dexterity's livery is not based on any particular livery, I just wanted to challenge myself to make something as lined out as possible. - The 2-4-0 condition was something that has been recorded to happen on several light railways (not just on Wardles). In order to cope with bad trackwork and provide a more stable ride, the front siderod was taken off to minimize mechanical jumping around the front of the loco, where it's particularly light. - The injector works on steam as usual, but the crosshead pump only starts to work over about 8-11mph, as only then enough vacuum is created to suck the water into the system. (I think the steam valve not being draggable is an oversight? But it would be a lot of tedious work to go back and fix it now...)

Hiya, where did you get the route from?

Thanks for reviewing this little bibby! To clear some things up, I'm Dutch, the coaches are tram coaches from the Nederlandse Tramweg Maatschappij (Dutch Tramway Company) and the valve gear's Allan Straight Link! I'm not entirely sure if you have Automatic Coupling turned on your settings, as that might have caused that... incident. And worry not, I will not start charging for my addons, as I believe this game's continued existence depends on freeware, same as MSTS! (by the way, around halfway through the video the audio goes out of sync)

Excellent film, very enjoyable

An excellent run, nicely handled. Lovely job from Caledonia Works too, really detailed. Hope it won’t be too long before we have the real thing in steam again. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.

Great for my German Feldbahn! and it´s freeware...

Do you have to get the passenger cars needed for the quick drive scenarios for these or those are optional?

Nice review! As always

Its not too bad tbf, although suffers a little again with that whole exhaust-wheel sync (as most CW engines do...). Also, someone who knows a lot about the Adams radials said that they gained twin slide bars, and that the East Kent Livery is basically just the Drummond livery, not the one depicted on models.

Mint video mate

The 1 in 77 gradient of the Incombe Bank is a pain. The top is literally the level crossing coming into Thenhill. Best thing is to set the reverser and regulator and let the engine storm the bank with all that it has. Set the fireman and let it go. Another trick as well-make sure it's a straight shot through. Any divergence or crossovers forcing you to slow will stick you on that hill (Personal experience there where I managed to stick a 782 with eight wagons after crossing to the lefthand platform at Inchcombe.) Another thing is...use the momentum build up. The wagons will hang back and drag you to a stand. If you have speed up first, then boom, you can go. The only time I recommend slowing yourself down is when your crossing onto the branch from the main line.
