What made you decide to play a Train Sim game with British steam engines in it? It's a nice change from the American steamies we've seen so often before. You began with a Heavy Freight 8F steamy of LMS design, had two GWR Kings in the middle and ended with a GWR Grange engine, which is slightly larger than her predecessor, the GWR Manor engine. Despite the fact that you caused three of them to derail, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The most enjoyable scenario I've ever watched on this fine channel of yours. There are some Thomas the Tank Engine videos in black and white on my channel, if you want to watch them. You love Thomas as much as I do.
@@HW38Trainz Ah, let me help you out my fine fellow. Because you're more used to driving American steamies in Train Sim, it can be hard to adjust and adapt to learning how to drive British steamies. British steam engines always ride on the left-hand track, just like cars, buses and lorries etc. keep to the left side of the road. You can watch a Foxcote Manor cab ride video on my channel, and it will hopefully help you get the knack of driving British steamies. It's not just a case of opening the regulator, (LMS steamies are left-hand drive, GWR is right-hand drive) first you have to release the tender hand-brake and set the reverser to full forward gear. Put on the blower and make sure the cylinder drain cocks are open. Give a sharp tug of the whistle chain, then slowly open the regulator. A lot to take in, but as I say, watch the Foxcote Manor cab ride video on my channel, and it will hopefully clue you in on how to drive a British steam engine.

I've tried every trick I knew how to get the trains running but it fails to perform.
