21:12 Sam: ooo look at the pretty camera angles
Pressure gauge:🔴🟢🔴🟢🔴🟢🔴🟢
haha I know right!! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I seriously thought he would still and tell welcome back to the railway, instead of train simulator. Prepared guy he is!
haha I know right... it's a difficult thing to say after all these years! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The odd wheel base on the class 600 was due to two main factors, they needed to be eight coupled to manhandle some pretty heavy coal trains over some quite steeply graded lines in the Lanarkshire area (although they did work over most of the Cally system over the years). A lot of the branches that connected the pits to the mainline were fairly lightly laid, so the long wheel base was designed to spread the weight as much as possible and extend the route availability. And they did work passenger trains, not frequently, but they were called on when needed on bank holiday 'sea side specials' to places like Ayr, and race day trains etc.
The 191's were built in the early 1920 to works the Skye boat trains to Oban, they weren't that successful, being poor steamers, having a vicious hammer blow effect on the track, needless to say as soon as the LMS introduced the Black Fives, they stated to be withdrawn, and although three had their withdrawal postponed by WW2 and the locomotive shortage, all were gone by early 1945.
Fun vid mate, keep up the good work
To quote the legendary William Wallace, “SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!”
Great review, always been partial to my home locos.
- The Caledonian
haha fantastic - I can see why, they're excellent! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sams please make a video on hornby i traveller 6000 train set
"Who decided that view" - literally the same view angle you were praising a few minutes ago on the 0-8-0, but now you're next to a platform
The 191 Class is one of the Caledonian Railway’s last designs, they were built in 1922 and were withdrawn from service between 1939 to the early 40’s 8 of them were built, and were William Pickersgill, all were scrapped
That 0-8-0 would be a fascinating model!
Yes but imagine that thing trying to go around 2nd radius curves or points!

I never was a big fan of most caledonian locos but the liverys are something else!
Keep up the great train sim videos -TC5
Awesome video Sam! You did a great job! Those engines look so amazing! Love both the blue and black paint! But the blue is my favourite! CR Blue looks awesome!
I’d make a comment with a quote from Thomas and Friends season two, something like “Donald and Douglas are a pair of Scottish Twins” etc etc, but I find that those types of comments are all too common so I’ll say instead that the two are my favorite characters. I do know that Donald and Douglas were CR 812s and not CR 600s but y’know, same railway. The livery is very Donald-and-Douglas-esque as well. Very nice video Sam! And a nice engine as well!
"I wonder if real driver ever shut off the regulator to fiddle with the reverser?"
Also:
*leans out of cab and hangs down next to the wheels just to watch the cranks, gets hit in the head by a signal
Yes, Sam, that's definitely standard railroad engineer behavior.
haha I thought so... glad to hear I behaved accurately! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
All of Caledonia Works' engines are amazing and all have animated valve gear and Westinghouse pumps. Definitely my favourite Train Sim creator, I'm currently running around in their LNER A5.
I'm very impressed in that case then - and it was a lot of fun to drive these!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This is quite funny, in that the original 191 class were not very good steamers and required a very well trained fireman, then again, they could fly on the flat with said well trained fireman. They usually handled the Glasgow-Oban trains, often double-headed with the earlier (and much more successful!) 55 class engines. The 191 class came out in 1922, but did NOT have superheating because Pickersgill (the CME after McIntosh) wanted instant throttle response rather than waiting for the steam to go through the superheater elements. They also had astonishingly bad hammerblow!
You can't beat the look of a Scottish locomotive. Go on Scottie!
-Bricky in Scotland
Ps luv u Sam x 😂
I agree - and thanks so much Bricky! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam, don't know if you know but I'll tell you just in case (might have already told you, but my memory's a sieve). TS2021 got an update a little while back that increases loading speeds. Just open Steam, right click on the game, click properties and then under Launch Options, type '-fastload' (minus quotations). It should make loading on some more detailed routes much faster.
The Caledonian 191 class reminds me of GER S69, and its revised form (LNER B12/3 Gresley Rebuilt) has quite a few models made by Hornby since late 80s.
By the way, Caledonian 191 and GER S69 are both blue pre-grouping 4-6-0 with air brake.
I would love for more Caledonian locos in model form; Hopefully the bigs take note from Bachmann and their 812 class models, those ones look exquisite and I can't wait for them to release.
Hey Sam watching this video gave me an idea for your next, You should get flying Scotsman and try to beat mallards record on TSW 2021
That sounds pretty awesome - nice idea!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, speaking of the guard's van, I think either Oxford Rail or Bachmann produced a six-wheeled van last year I think so I bought one. It is an awesome piece of kit and beautifully detailed. It is well worth a review I think unless you have already done one hint, hint. It is in the GWR livery and is a lovely model.
That looks like a pretty cool train simulator!! I would have to agree with you that the Caledonian steam locomotive piston rods looks quite odd, and it's kinda of strange looking, but I like how the steam locomotive body configuration is!!! It looks like a pretty nice steam engine overall!!
Some manufacturer should definitely make the blue CR 191 class. It looks lovely.
20:31 Scratch that, we need something from William Pickersgill in r-t-r OO gauge. Don't even know why no one has brought it up to main manufacturers as Hornby have done the Drummond 264 "Pug" and No. 123 plus Bachmann (with Rails of Sheffield) are yet to release the McIntosh 812 but only the kit manufacturers have done something for Pickersgill.
Caledonian 600 class: exists
Me:😮are you Donald and Douglases bigger brother
hi sam... in the 70s i built my first layout in the car garage. the car ended up outside. after moving layout was ripped out and packed. in the 2000s i went for simulations. built my own routes only to have it crash or trains not following programs and wander about. for this reason i quit simulators and now in 2020 i decided to go back to models. nice video. looks like a rapido build lol.
It does look beautiful.
Steam is not so uncommon at Oxford but that would turn a few heads.The strange wheel spacing makes sense as it leaves room for a good ashpan. Can you imagine the clash of buffers as the unbraked wagons crashed into each other when the train stopped?
Thanks to your review of Papa John's I am having my first one while in Hastings Travelodge
Nice to see more TS videos! Much more relatable to me than models to be honest, so always a fun surprise. Have you also tried the two freeware locos from CR? Class 123 is back for free in the shop now, and Class 812 has been made freeware as well
Thanks very much - that's great to hear! I have tried the 123, but not the 812... that might be worth trying! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow those Caledonian locos are beautiful Sam. I hope more Caledonian stuff is available in OO. :)
They are! I hope so too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
One of the unfortunate "features" of early Westinghouse brake systems is that you have to fully release the brakes before you can reapply them. I believe a good few collisions were caused by that.
Ah yes Caledonian Locos. Specifically the one you chose to operate at the start of the video is what Donald and Douglass the Scottish Twin Engines from Thomas and Friends are based on. Same color livery too the black with red.
I really enjoyed this Sam, I watch your models, and just starting with train simulators, so good to see this. I love your very real honesty and approach to RUclips videos, your an absolute pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much Mr Owl - that's lovely of you to say!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Always love a new Sam video. I know somewhere in it I will always get a smile out of it.
This simulator definitely looks like it could be a lot of fun. Thinking making a custom cabin could be fun once it was running.
Tomorrow is the day....(that cr in that livery looks nice by the way)Edit: Today 18 of may the day I am editing this comment, this channel was born and tomorrow 19 the first video of sam was published, today was the day of a great reviewer of trains(for me)was born in the yt community,Thank you(don't ask me why I did this I just wanted to do it XD).
haha awesome - thanks for the comment!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Definitely a striking blue color. Love seeing the models on various channels.
I see your doing train simulators now! That’s pretty cool! I love the video keep up the great work! Also, I got some exciting news!! I am finally gonna get my rc car in June!!! :D. Anyways, I love the videos! Also: Maybe you can get this train simulator called train sim world 2020 after you get used to the simulators, I hope Oliver (lazer jet) sees this! He is gonna love it :) keep up the good work! :)
Hi Sam, you enthused about having models of the "Caledonian" railway. I have a "Rails of Sheffield" model of 0-6-0 number "828" on pre-order and it's delivery has been put back AGAIN, till mid-summer, and it costs a smidgens under £200 only DCC ready so, good luck. Regards, Alan.
Overall wheelbase is dictated by the size of the boiler -- a big powerful one in this case -- between firebox and smokebox, with the cylinders directly below the smokebox. Unless you go for one of those unstable 'long boiler' types, the rear axle sits behind the firebox with the next one just in front of it. Then the driven axle's position is dictated by the required length of connecting-rod between crosshead and crank. This in turn -- with such a big boiler and firebox on a comparatively small engine -- means the second and third axles need to be closer than you might expect. In effect they are sitting right on either side of where you'd see the middle axle on an 0-6-0.
I watched a documentary about this train in 1910s and during the war and for some reason one of the express train head on a local train and the coal train and the damage was awful and they say Britain's worst railway history.
Ahh interesting - I'll have to watch that myself!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Interesting & amusing video Sam; The lead axle on the 600 would have had to clear the inside cylinders & the rear axle the ash pan hence the odd wheel spacing. Cheers David Barnes (formerly Grumpy David).
0-8-0 I guess it's because I I've seen so many American locomotives with similar designs that it makes sense because we have a lot of 4-8-0,2-8-0,4-8-4
2-8-2
And most of them are just freight locomotive some of them have the capacity to pull passenger trains but mainly they're used in places where you have a lot of heels
Great video Sam with an awesome loco! By the way, what is your setup?
The caledonian had some lovely locomotives we need more ready to run caledonian locomotives
I know right - we certainly do!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I suppose DLC is a major part of these types of games, which means that they can become pretty expensive (I remember that Trainz has a subscription for the full experience on top of the base price.) I have thought about playing one of these simulator games, but they always seemed so daunting to me.
It would be interesting to have a Cape gauge layout with the various tender tanks of South Africa among other things. Japan also has some interesting steam locomotives of that gauge. The JNR Class E10 is one that fascinates me the most as it is a 2-10-4T, which is huge for a non-Garratt tank engine.
I love Caledonian engines. The tank engines are my favorite, but they are all beautiful.
I agree - got to love these Caley engines! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A model of the 191 would make me the happiest person on earth, Hornby Bachmann, Heljen, Dapol, or any other manufacturer, if they were to make this model I would buy it as soon as I can afford it.
Me : hears sam's train says welcome back to the railway
Also me : did not even see his railway set
haha!! xD
It looks good. I have not played Train Sim for years. I wonder how many people started with Train Sim and made the change to a train set / model railway like I did? I just find the models much more engaging.
If you decide to make a similar video to this one in Trainz, I suggest using Camscott's locomotives on his website Darlington Works. You might recognize his work on a collaboration with Caledonia Works. I also recommend the selection at GP Locomotives and edh6's content on the Download Station.
I love Caledonian railway engines, McIntosh designs have always been my favorite! I can tell this will be a fun video :)
I do too - they're excellent aren't they?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The loco makes exactly the same sound as the train in Dumbo!
Casey Junior's coming down the track
Coming down the track
With a smoky stack
Hear him puffing, coming round the hill
Casey's here to thrill
Every Jack and Jill
haha really?! haha!! xD
Cmon, *ATE TEA* *ATE TEA* *ATE TEA* Let’s push for *ATE TEA.* I would not have guessed that this thing could do *ATE TEA*
You should get the Western Lines of Scotland route.
I second this, one of the best routes in the game (In my opinion)
I thought this is a review of the loco model not the simulation 😂 brilliant video as always mate 🙂
haha if only... maybe one day!! Thank you!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I think a model of #193 in beautiful Caledonian blue would actually be worth the rediculois RRP Bachmann demands. I would of course prefer a Hornby or Dapol model.
We need more Calidonian locos in model form.
That first one looks like they took a 2-4-2 and just slapped some con rods on all eight of em.
Unladen locomotive is like a sports car.
Well yea it dose have significant surplus of power so it better be taking off like a bee stung dog.
Still with little concerned effort i suppose you could have straight out race between locomotives.
I do enjoy these train simulator videos especially when you lose control Sam XD
haha I know... almost went a bit wrong today! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You should try Armstrong powerhouses add one for train simulator.
Really top notch loco add ons
My girlfriend got me TS 2021 in december. My old laptop really struggled, but my new computer copes better. However, there's several issues I've found, like if you accidentally press the door open button instead of releasing the brakes and you don't notice, 40 minutes into a simulation, it doesn't tell you and it says game over, so it ends the simulation. So I've basically given up trying to get it to work properly.
I only have the Fife Circle and the WCML south areas, with an A4, 68, 158, 170/4, pendolino, super voyager, and 350s available to use (plus american/german stuff). And I'm not gonna buy more assets unless the game works properly.
We need models of these engines NOW!
I was so excited when I saw you were doing another train simulator video Sam!
haha I love making them too!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam the engine driver’s skills have certainly improved from that hst
I have to admit, I enjoy watching your train simulation game play and running sessions a lot more than the reviews. In what room do you play train simulation games? I'm only asking because I'm curious.
That's very good to hear Kelly - I play downstairs as my PC down there is much better. Why don't you try the game?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow, they look good!
I agree - they sure do! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I love that blue color, pity, not in a model . Wish it was, then you can review it then.
The CR has some elegant little steamers
It sure does Mayo! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
No model today, saving up for the APT? ;D
haha you got it!! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The worst ever railway accident in this country had happened on The Caledonian Railway at Quintinshill in 1915, with the loss of 227 lives!
Yeah I've heard about that - sounds absolutely shocking - must read up on it :/
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I LOVE THIS GAME!💜💙💚💛💖💕💓💗💞💝
Me too!! :D
hello sam i like the new video here is a tip if you like more whistle click B and you have more short whistle
Oh Sam the Caladonain is my weakness its been a while since train sim but its good to have it back. thanks
Nice. I have the railway gun and Rectanks to pull. I have made ROD skins too
I’d be surprised if another train smashed into the brake van of your train like Douglas did to the Spiteful Brake Van
That was fun! Thanks for doing that
I was expecting a pug... lol
26:20 Hopefully no one is ever in the position to meet any signal like this "teabags" first and then their face. Traveling at that speed.
that train is going faster then the top speed of the current electric trains here
Great to see you doing train simulator.
I have a suggestion if you don't have it already, Doncaster works, I heard good things from it and it apparently has good scenarios
Hi, cool channel just found you. Liked and subbed. Really enjoyed your video, the trains are awesome, love your presentation style. I play on TSW2 but seriously looking at Train simulator 2021 for the steam engines.
May I recommend you have a search for 4gb patch and large memory address aware, you can then patch a 32bit exe to handle more RAM. I found most recently on the Omsi 2 forums, but you can get anywhere. Don't forget any updates to the game you must run the patches again. This will help with a lot of game instability issues, and don't forget Windows compatability mode Win 7 for example. Hope that helps . Great video though, beautiful engines, - and Train simulator 2021 is on Steam sale.. off to get this for the steam, have a great day .. :)
Hi Sam, Nice ride didn't spill my tea , nice one, All the Best Brian 🤗
haha thanks Brian - glad you enjoyed the ride! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
6:47 I thought that looked like Donald or Douglas for a second until I realized it’s an 0-8-0 locomotive.
Do you have any uther caledonia works locomotive?
If you do please review them.
yay a new train simulator video
i agree with the wheels it is a bit strange Still a nice loco and a good long run.
haha yeah - very strange looking engine isn't it?! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice to see Radley Station and the junction for the branch to Littlemore (where I once lived) and Cowley!
Ahh fantastic - does it look much like that in real life??
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It was pretty realistic, except that Radley Station is usually deserted!
The facecam is so odd that your face is literally glowing like mad but I've gotta admit it looks awesome.
haha thank you - it is a bit weird isn't it?!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
19:16 Wow! That's a lot of trucks!
Sounds bang on proper engine 😀😀😀
The loco in the thumbnail looks like a mix between a crab and a B1
That was pretty cool I like to see DeLorean put in the front of that engine and see a massive crash
Awesome video today Sam would love to see them locomotives in modle form
They also had steaming problems which altered their performance
Hi Sam. I absolutely love train simulator! How did you get the steam engines?
Nice Sam! ts2021 is awesome and i hope you can do some more
Thank you!! I'll definitely look at doing more!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Do the review of the Rapido APT E, also dobt forget to unbox the class 370 APT P. DONT FORGET for the TS 2021 can you drive American locomotive from Amtrak just liked the Bombardier Alstom HHP 8 and also the GE P42DC
dear sam's trains there is one bachmann branch line loco motive and it is the bachmann branch line lord nelsons class No.855 robert blake please reply if it is a good idea
thank you for reading
Hi Sam. Lots of great reviews lately with not much for me to add. How about you take a freight down the Somerset & Dorset line behind a legendary 2-8-0. Would dearly love to see that.
