Well, honestly I love both SCR and BR for different reasons. SCR for its multiplayer, map sizes, amount of trains/operators, and different roles (DS/GD/SG), which BR probably won't have all (as Ollie stated: he is not planning on doing training/applications for any position in the game, not considering the dev team) and how the map is stylized. While in BR for an ever more detailed map, realistic driving systems, realistic trains, interaction with the community (suggestions for example), routes which are done much better than SCR's, and much more importantly: a fresh start, which means they can change/add/remove, and do anything they'd like because the game is fairly new.
I agree, I think both games have their pros and cons and I feel they're both made to appeal to slightly different audiences. Which one people decide to play mainly comes down to what they're wanting to get out of it.
@Draavo Yeah, and considering this, I think that BR is not as much of a threat. It's rather just another game with a similar idea, but a different approach, and as you stated, just another option for players to choose between more casual gameplay or realistic.
i think one thing i find interesting about scr's competition is how toby reacted to it, saying that they're not there to directly compete with anyone, and that there are certain things that scr does certain thing better than br and viceversa
I'm pretty sure "pretendolino" is a real term that fans coined when Virgin Trains repainted a class 90 consist into the same livery as their actual pendolinos... although the timing could still be retaliation
Putting this simply, I don't think they are in competition. SCR seems to be mainly focused on being accessible to the wider Roblox audience who are less fussed about hyperrealism, whereas British Railway seems to be targeted more towards railway enthusiasts. I think it is this reason why SCR hasn't actually suffered any form of loss by the presence of BR. The two games can coexist perfectly fine without competition, and therefore be successful in their own right. That being said, I do love British Railway, the experience of playing the game is a breath of fresh air compared to every other railway game on the platform, and I hope its success sets a precedent for more railway games to pop up and thrive, but I also don't believe that this makes BR a 'threat' to SCR. There are MANY things I criticize for SCR, their supervisor/training system is not fit for purpose, their rules are unnecessarily harsh, and I've not had the greatest of experiences with a fair few of the former higher-ups of the game (even if some of that was from my own faults). And in the grand scheme of things, blocky rails and stationary level crossing barriers really don't matter that much to me. That being said, I also criticize a lot of things about BR (particularly the way that their staff and developers view SCR, the signaling issues and the point awarding system)
It's not just BR's development team that thinks SCRs devs are a bit off. I've seen the same said for GCR. The issue with their team is the fact that they can't really communicate to the community alot. Take the longer trains controversy. Barely any form of communication on whether or not it would be a gamepass really made people upset, as many still held out hope that the 390 would be free. Another reason comes down to their insanely childish attitude when it comes to genuine community concerns and criticisms. Going back to SCR for a moment with the longer trains controversy, many of the devs shot down community concerns, and played off concerns surrounding the gamepass. As well as this, they also decided to criticise BR's player count, something of which during this time of extreme controversy was unexpected and needed. So whilst it is safe to say BRs dev team doesn't quite like SCR, it's also safe to say that SCR's dev team really need to work on community response. A solution to this would be to simply bring back the Q and A sessions. They used to do these a few years ago, but they appeared to have died out and personally speaking, I think they would be able to highlight a lot of the communities questions. Now, I'm not saying SCR is a bad game by any means. I've played it for the past 5 years, and I've seen the same issue occur a lot more, especially in recent times, where the communities questions to Directors and Product developers are shot down or simply ignored. I agree with you for the most part, but I thought it would be good to highlight so reasons as to why this distain for the SCR development team is prevalent in such games.
@dominustaker1651 SCR's team is also incredibly secretive for little to no reason. More often than not when asking supervisors+ questions related to internal workings and operation in SCR (just general things out of curiosity or when forming an opinion on something), I've been told that they can't tell me or it's not for public knowledge. Really baffles me why they would decide to hide so much information about a train game on Roblox, and it's even suspicious however I won't go down that rabbithole in a RUclips comment section. It goes hand in hand with the poor communication and not much resonance with their community.
BR is growing rapidly. It used to have approx 20-40 players 6 months ago. Now the player base ranges from 200-500. There is a chance that by the end of 2025 BR may surpass SCR
15:56 Believe it or not, "The Pretendolino" was real at one point! Virgin hired a MK3 set in to replace the 390 written off in the Grayrigg Train Derailment, it lasted until about 2014. A cleverly timed release for sure lol
@@kieranstravels Funnily enough, 390033 is still somewhat exist, but its at the Avanti's training academy Only "two" photos exist of 033 in Avanti livery
I think something BR objectively did better was the point system. SCR's "5 per stop" doesn't really support faster operators like Express. Where as BR, while yes still does have optimal operators, it is not really an issue because you still get around the same amount per minute.
As a former long time player on SCR who is currently at a GD rank since if I'm not mistaken V1.7 (I don't fully recall when I became a GD all I know it was a very long time ago) and a long time driver on SCR. I've always felt the controls generally felt arcadey and just not to my liking. Like I felt it was unrealistic to fly into stations at 75 kph (45 mph in imperial terms) and stop on the dime. Now I've not played the new driving system in SCR but witnessed my brother play it. It still is a far cry compared to BR but if anything I can understand what they were trying to do. Ever since BR came out at the start of 2023. I've been there since the start. Although I wasn't there for V1.0 and joined around the time of V1.1 I've been there since BR's 1st or 2nd week. The 14th of January, 2023 if my memory serves to be of any help to me 😅 But yeah the driving experience is surreal and it definitely feels more like my driving style and realism. Like in trains such as the Class 90 and Loco haul consists I tend to find them you need to brake almost a mile from the station if you're travelling down the Cuffley Mainline particularly the section between Leaton to Norrington. What I love in each game SCR: I think the training program from my experience and theory is fine and brings in people, the amount of content in game, the signal system is generally I don't find trouble. BR: It's the game you want to go to for a surreal experience, better scenery and although there are substantially less trains in BR compared to SCR they are built to a high standard. But mind you BR has done everything it has done in just over 2 years which isn't an easy feat compared to SCR which has been around for nearly 8 years. There's a 6 year gap between both games so in some ways I feel like it's unfair to compare both games in some areas but definitely I would generally say I enjoyed my experience in BR than my time in SCR
I had no idea about British Railway, thanks for making this video, SCR really shot themselves in the foot removing you from their content creator programme.
I think SCR is better in many ways when it comes to gameplay. Especially when it comes to the driving system. I thinks its much easier to understand and its easier to control (however the change from the old system to the new one was a hard time for all of us). When it comes to the map id agree that BR looks better. A developer from SCR once said that the focus on the SCR builds is to sepreate the game from others. I understand this point but I still think that some thing are allowed to change though. But the main thing why Inthink SCR is better in general is the fact that it runs on poor devices smoothly (more or less). You cant say that about BR at all. In addition to that i think SCR has one of the best desinged UIs on the platform not because it looks good (I don't like the look tbh) but because its easy to understand and to use, the Ui-instances are not too small or too big. You are not overwhelmed with 6 buttons in the start menu like in BR. Instead you have 3 and everone exactly understands where to start the game. I think BR has is on a good way to become better but for now they arent. Long story short message: I like both games but BR is more complex and realistic while SCR is more user-friendly.
My point of view and opinion: SCR: Simple gameplay mechanics and driving experience for people who want a relaxed yet fun experience with good models and a large map to enjoy. BR: More realistic, complex gameplay mechanics and driving experience for people who want a more challenging and realistic feeling with good models, extra features and a big map to explore and enjoy. *Rail Sim Universe: Ultra-Realistic american train simulator, thats all i gotta say....oh right the game is like 15% done and its already looking crazy*
For me BR would be perfect if it wasn't for the signalling, coming into Leaton on the fast lines from Norrington the signal is usually red, however if you start slowing down on full brake from the first AWS warning for the double yellow you still wouldn't stop in time for the red.
11:22 the signaling system is (apparently) currently being worked on. It should improve the current signalling with the addition of automaticly assigned priorities. It's quite unfair to hold this as a plus for SCR and a flaw for BR when they have the same issue as well. Areas such as Westercoast viaduct have too many clustered signal blocks that give too little time to brake for red signals.
SCR is a brilliant arcade simulator, BR is a brilliant realistic simulator. Overall I think they're about as good as each other, but it's important to consider they're not exactly the same style of game.
they both have good features. BR has the realistic feel, while SCR has the additional role options (manual dispatching, manual signalling, etc) to make the railway feel more cohesive… THEY SHOULD MERGE OML
@BritishTrainsRBX yes and? both games are good, they both have features that the other lacks. its really a matter of massive multiplayer and different ways to play vs realism, quality, and more of a solo/duo game
I dont think the addition of the pretendolino was really to retaliate at scr tbh, i think it was more because they were already adding the new class 90 livery, so why not add the coaches it pulled in that livery irl?
Honestly my expectations were low but this turned out to be a pretty well-made video with solid opinions backed by facts. Personally, I would've chosen a different title as "SCR's BIGGEST Competitor" makes it seem like a video on the release of BR, and the video doesn't revolve around that. Something along the lines of "Does BR beat SCR in 2025? - A Comparison" would've been better, in my opinion. Overall I'd rate it 8/10, apart from the afformentioned title and some small mistakes it was high quality and interesting. Nice to see you making content again.
British Railway Is The Best with Ultrarealism ❤And SCR Graphics Look Like Cartoon And It Is Like Arcade Game .. I Do Play SCR But When Compared With British Railway Feels Outdated... BR Doesn't Feels Like We Are Playing In Roblox The Game Experience Is Just Fun For Rail Fams🎉❤
honestly, they shouldn't be considered competition. they're both good games with different pros and cons that shouldn't be pitted against each other. doing that is just insulting to the devs who made the games what they are today
BR if you want more of the driving experience, SCR if you want more of the roleplaying experience. Both maps are big, although SCR has more branch so it kinda looks bigger.
I swear in BR's early days the signalling system had a huge benefit over SCR, that it queued up trains to get greens into major junctions so you couldn't get cut off from another line (a frequent problem in SCR). But it's not in the game now, so either they removed it at some point, or that sort of thing was never in the game in the first place. Maybe someone else knows more?
At the moment I'm not into trainsims. For some reason every community of these has to go upside down at one point and I think that'll be the case too for BR.
I stopped playing scr because I kept getting derailed or something out of nowhere and the grind being slower than time itself and also british railway is much realistic and also guarding gives you bonus and the passenger role being actually playable
11:24 yes at thornfield if you are coming from Marden Hill TMD you can pass trough the trains approaching/being at the platform and Avonhill signals are pretty bad
But the area surrounding Leaton up to Belmond Green as well as on the approach to Leaton from St James Park is so bad there are signals so close to each other and it's so easy to get a SPAD simply because there wasn't enough advanced warning and because the approach speed is 110 mph and usually you'd start breaking after passing the platforms at St James Park on the approach to Leaton.
While not truly competing, both compete for the attention of the limited number of train people. I think if scr wants to retain people so it can force pay to win gamepasses it should add more community asked suggestions like tramlink and freight. I think metro is the first part to this plan.
for the BR signalling system, one thing that I'm annoyed is the bidirectional tracks. The signals seems to stay green when a train enters the track from the opposite side. Happens in the Fayre branch and Avonhill station
SCR could have easily avoided that, for example adding some better scenery, making a actually good throttle system and idk maybe upgrading those 10 year old block rails?? But anyway, one problem BR has imo is how long it takes to get away from the Pacer. Generally I stopped playing Roblox Train Sims because they either are full of drama are just literal garbage.
yeah it sucks being a new player but once you get out of the noob train/route phase, you gain coins way easier, unlike scr where you gain the same with any train or route.
@BritishTrainsRBX yeah it doesn't really matter if it's in a prototype game for like 2 years at this point, they still didn't add it, but managed to add a 1000 Robux gamepass already.
i see your back to your old ways of loving the 755. Also i think it would be super beneficial if SCR updated all of the textures to roblox's newer ones and updating the lighting system to the newest version. This would make the scenery like 2x better without having to do any upgrading at all.
Great video! I would also like to point out that electrification for SCR is by overhead wires. However trains like the Class 444 and Class 458 which are on Connect are third rail only which is unrealistic.
11:51 exactly how I feel about Faymere to Westercoast in SCR, express train going through at line speed (125mph) you have no time to stop no matter how soon you see the precaution along the bridge/through the depot, it's a guaranteed SPAD.
Honestly, as a driving game, BR is better. I never got signaller in SCR and i rarely dispatched or guarded, so in my opinion BR is better, but if you prefer guarding or dispatching I can see why you'd like scr more. But also long trains gamepass made me stop playing completely in sheer anger. Also BR is likely adding a metro too soon.
This comparison video is the best, every comparison video I've seen people say that one game sucks and the other good, but doesn't justify and don't compare the details, so if comparison youtubers see this comment, stop doing that and compare the details please
there's a little bit of a Difference that you where saying about them both having 4 Operators, ... in BR there is just Running for the sake of Calling Patterns, in terms of Regional (Local), Semi fast and Intercity, the Differences being the in there calling patters and also this results in about the same amount of Coins per Min
Both game's are amazing. SCR is a template for all other game's of that sort. To have a multilayer train simulator on that scale is amazing ! In retrospect SCR is not perfect, but its generally gotten better and they clearing up lots of annoying glitches. British Railways is simply the next step in train simulator evolution. The realistic nature makes it my personal favorite. Here to, in the last couple of weeks, improvements were made at Avonhill with all the switching going into that terminal. Trains no longer collide as frequently, which is annoying. It seem, lots of time, now you will wait for a clear signal before departure if another train is entering. On a personal note, they need to get rid of ghosting. You dont lose points for being late, but you lose them for speeding.
BR is good because of the extreme realism that you don't expect from a Roblox train game. SCR is good because there are more options for players to choose from. More trains, more routes, more stations, more everything! So BR is higher quality content, SCR is more content.
@BritishTrainsRBXyeah optimization is awful and the route system also sucks, but the train models are nice and the map is alright. i forget gcr even exists anymore tho, surprised it's not dead.
Another thing you didn't mention is that British Railway uses real-life liveries with slightly altered names to avoid copyright. SCR just have their own operators, and some of the liveries are kinda... bad, not to mention that there's little to no livery variation.
I prefer SCR. Although thats simply because im more experienced and have barely played BR. I would probably play BR more if i had other trains as oppose to the pacer. But, since i dont have enough robux to buy the trains, or have the time and patience to grind for them, i dont see myself playing BR much in the near future
Hiya Draavo, Really enjoyed this video and its a lovely take on both games, I've recently joined a team who are working on a new, hyper-realistic game based on SWR and Southern, where is the best place to talk to you about this as I'd love to share some details about the project but currently as it's in early development I can't share too much here! Let me know :)
If we’re talking about realism, I honestly feel like a good comparison for BR would be GCR. I think the models are great on both games and have somewhat realistic sounds. I don’t know what SCR would be good to compare with since it is a semi realistic arcade train game. I honestly think GCR is extremely underrated and I think GCR would probably have been a better comparison.
To be honest, for the time I've been playing BR (since I was one of the beta testers and paid for early access) The dynamic signalling only malfunctions sometimes.. but the times it does work, it does so FLAWLESSLY and perfectly.
Is BR the one that uses the actual time for scheduling but your device’s time for when you can leave a station. Because whichever rail game did that wanted me to wait 30 minutes to depart each station.
@ SCR definitely doesn’t. My computer’s 30 minutes behind the real time. If it was synced to my computer’s time like BR, I wouldn’t be able to leave the stations.
@@a337z_5 timezones aside, if I was supposed to leave a station at :30, BR or whatever rail game it was wouldn’t let me leave until my computer got to :30. Whether it be 4:30 there and 11:30 where I am whatever. Just an example. The time in game for the scheduling would actually line up properly, but the train’s time would be synced with my computer. That’s the best I can describe it. And SCR does not cause me this headache.
You guys are wrong about signalling. BR signalling is automatic, meaning it detects any train beyond 100 meter. But the signalling problems you said is actually your data or weak PC. Certain parts of SCR is one of the disaster. Signalling is fun for SCR fans. Although, it is very confusing and hard, especially those playing with signalling. Also, weekly store is always weird considering British Railway them self knows that every store only needs coins. The only way in BR getting coins is grind or buy the coins. However, SCR don't have stores considering they are the only game with points. The hardest thing to get in SCR is trains and operators as well as points. Some longer railway routes in SCR are one of the worst one. Earning those points is a massive job. It could take a year just to get everything where as BR takes months just unlocking everything. SCR is pointless...
@@easy_em2 SCR is seriously unrealistic. Waterline runs literal tram distanced, the trains accelerate wayyy too quickly, not even gonna mention the throttle control and also some bridges that make no sense and are unrealistic (Morganstown-Benton)
I have a preference for BR, although i used to play SCR, cuz of realism and yet that's not a simulator, although i have the impression it is. And also it's extremely easy to grind on BR. Oh yeah the signal issues i swear....
why did you just have the dominik guy repeat everything you've already said in the video verbatim lmao. also why does the man sound so petty whenever discussing BR - like it's clear as day that the game sweeps SCR quality-wise, i don't understand how is this even a conversation
• I didn't repeat everything Draavo said - I wrote my own script for the video, and I elaborated on things that he briefly mentioned earlier in the video • The only reason why I would sound petty is because I was a little sick when I recorded the script, so my voice sounded unusual. I was not aiming to sound biased - I was stating what SCR does better than BR, and what BR does better than SCR, which is the aim of the entire video • It's not just quality. If you fully watched and understood the video, we talked about much more than quality; the number of trains, the ability to dispatch and signal, the great station designs, the signalling; these are all reasons why some people would choose SCR over BR, but yes, you are right in saying that in general BR does have better quality trains • I had to change my script a few times because it ended up sounding too biased towards BR; I am introduced in the video as a long-term player and contributor to BR, which is why I felt inclined to make a fair comparison to not sound like I'm glazing BR • Draavo is a long-term SCR player, I am a long-term BR player, we both have different opinions and views, so we decided to come together and talk about all the pros and cons on both games. You cannot really say that you "don't understand how this is even a conversation" when if you look at the comments, they are very divided between SCR and BR, so the whole point of this video is to start a topic of conversation about the two games, and how they differ
tbh, I only played BR once but now since ik how big BR is, I might consider returning to the game. But tbh, I'm more on the SCR side since that was the first train game I played and it still is after V2.0. Only thing that I might NOT be looking forward to in BR is how buggy the signals are. I HATE waiting behind a red signal when there's not ANOTHER train in front of me.
i don't ever dispatch or guard as it's very boring to me, so i already play train games just to drive trains. br has way better trains, sounds and features. the map is more realistic size and scenery wise, and the routes are also various and realistic. the one thing scr does better, however, are the stations designs. still, if br improves that, it will completely blow scr out of the water for me. optimization is also better in br which is funny considering it's more detailed. i already stopped playing scr that often and have switched to br and if br continues to improve, i'll most likely quit scr for good.
BR is way better in terms of realism in most aspects, SCR has better realism in terms of operations though, like mentioned the signalling is very good and there are dispatchers and guards like BR though the guards in SCR are less realistic than the one in BR, I think its a good idea for players to have to do trainings to unlock roles though SCR should be more strict since you need to mess up quite a bit in order to be demoted which leads to situations where you report a user and 2 days later you see them in game doing the same thing you reported them for, SCR has terrible realism because they are focused on other aspects, not sure which aspects though as their dev team seems quite lazy as not many new features have came out while BR has lots of realism, a smaller dev team but still seems like it has had way more content added in the same time
The game pass only gives you the pendolino for free. The rest are just longer versions of existing trains it seriously isn’t that deep and doesn’t even deserve mentioning because the devs have to make money somehow. Only broke people complain continuously about that feature when in BR you might as well buy your favorite trains because grinding as a noob is hellish
@swtvic SCRs inputs are also separate. What you want and what the game allows are two separate things. The tap changer is worse, but both have the feeling of very little control over what you actually want
Can we stop directly comparing an arcade style game to a realistic style game? My thoughts: tl;dr - Neither of them are directly "better than the other", they're both good in their own way. I really like both games, I really enjoy the realism of British Railway and I enjoy the more simpler style of Stepford County Railway. Personally, BR quickly gets dull, especially with the TTS announcements, the repeated monotone track joint sounds and occasionally i get tired of the dull coloring. SCR sometimes also gets boring, I especially get tired of the sounds and get annoyed with the sound glitch that happens with door sounds, whistles, horns, and onboard announcements. Driving in SCR isn't worse than BR, but it's not better either. I don't mind the 2.0 driving system in SCR. I also one time experienced in BR where every single train around me was either broken in pieces or completely still on the track with the train sound still happening, even though I had smooth gameplay for myself with no issues, I've never had this problem with SCR, even on a big server. The gamepass in SCR does feel like a "Woah seriously?" moment. I was a bit surprised myself, but it's fine, really. The entire situation the gamepass caused feels like a massive overreaction over such a little thing. The game has worked perfectly fine without the gamepass and in no way should the existence of a gamepass change that. Playing the game now with the gamepass released, it's the exact same, nothing has changed, the only difference is the occasional long train, the game is just as playable as before. The statement on the gamepass from the Operations Director is also ignored in this video in favor of just saying "it's so the devs can get more money". The BR devs giving out a Robux gift card after the SCR gamepass released is fine, but immediately following that gift card announcement with the suggestion of using it to "get yourself some longer trains" was NOT needed. It's funny, but seriously? The recent "weekly item" feature in BR just feels like a feature they added to keep players playing, these rare or unique liveries are not cheap either. These things, as far as I've seen, are as expensive as the train itself! They aren't of a similar price of other liveries in game, they're not even just double the average livery price. I get that they are oh so rare! and oh so unique! but the price tag on them still makes it feel like a feature that is meant to keep players playing or to get players to purchase points. But that's just what I think. Those were my loser thoughts
That's not what I meant. What I meant was that, for example, you cannot terminate at intermediate stations unless you buy a separate route to terminate there, even though both routes serve exactly the same stations. In BR, you can buy an area "pack", meaning you unlock all possible routes to that area from anywhere in the map that you currently own.
I really love both, BR for realism, SCR for mass multiplayer and map size
samee
i agree
f
me too
Agreed
Well, honestly I love both SCR and BR for different reasons. SCR for its multiplayer, map sizes, amount of trains/operators, and different roles (DS/GD/SG), which BR probably won't have all (as Ollie stated: he is not planning on doing training/applications for any position in the game, not considering the dev team) and how the map is stylized. While in BR for an ever more detailed map, realistic driving systems, realistic trains, interaction with the community (suggestions for example), routes which are done much better than SCR's, and much more importantly: a fresh start, which means they can change/add/remove, and do anything they'd like because the game is fairly new.
I agree, I think both games have their pros and cons and I feel they're both made to appeal to slightly different audiences. Which one people decide to play mainly comes down to what they're wanting to get out of it.
@Draavo Yeah, and considering this, I think that BR is not as much of a threat. It's rather just another game with a similar idea, but a different approach, and as you stated, just another option for players to choose between more casual gameplay or realistic.
Fr i comletly agree, so yes I love to see neutral people like you
i think one thing i find interesting about scr's competition is how toby reacted to it, saying that they're not there to directly compete with anyone, and that there are certain things that scr does certain thing better than br and viceversa
I'm pretty sure "pretendolino" is a real term that fans coined when Virgin Trains repainted a class 90 consist into the same livery as their actual pendolinos... although the timing could still be retaliation
yes i meant the timing i know the pretendolino is real
It was just one unit to fill in the gap for one of the Pendolinos that was involved in the grayrigg derailment
The Dutch 321 is also a real livery. It was done to celebrate the twinning of Liverpool Street and Amsterdam Centraal (Central) stations.
Putting this simply, I don't think they are in competition.
SCR seems to be mainly focused on being accessible to the wider Roblox audience who are less fussed about hyperrealism, whereas British Railway seems to be targeted more towards railway enthusiasts. I think it is this reason why SCR hasn't actually suffered any form of loss by the presence of BR.

It goes hand in hand with the poor communication and not much resonance with their community.
BR has a third throttle system: the tap changer. It’s only available on the class 86
I thought I wouldn't include that as the video was already getting a bit complicated, but yep, that is something that I missed :)
@Draavo no problem, your video was great!
BR is growing rapidly. It used to have approx 20-40 players 6 months ago. Now the player base ranges from 200-500.
There is a chance that by the end of 2025 BR may surpass SCR
4:51 holy crap they even had the effort to do the sound of the door seals inflating and deflating
Something SCR will never add because they prefer quantity over quality
Just play train simulator classic if you want quality. This is Roblox by the way
@EscapeRunningHead not everyone can spend the money needed for train simulator classic or has a device that can run it smoothly
@EscapeRunningHead so what? just because its roblox doesnt mean you cant have realistic games?
Yes

Believe it or not, "The Pretendolino" was real at one point! Virgin hired a MK3 set in to replace the 390 written off in the Grayrigg Train Derailment, it lasted until about 2014.
A cleverly timed release for sure lol
@@kieranstravels Funnily enough, 390033 is still somewhat exist, but its at the Avanti's training academy
Only "two" photos exist of 033 in Avanti livery
From one (TINY) SCR Content creator to another (MUCH LARGER) SCR Content creator, I really enjoyed that video, and you just earned a sub!
Thanks a lot :)
I think something BR objectively did better was the point system. SCR's "5 per stop" doesn't really support faster operators like Express. Where as BR, while yes still does have optimal operators, it is not really an issue because you still get around the same amount per minute.
As a former long time player on SCR who is currently at a GD rank since if I'm not mistaken V1.7 (I don't fully recall when I became a GD all I know it was a very long time ago) and a long time driver on SCR. I've always felt the controls generally felt arcadey and just not to my liking. Like I felt it was unrealistic to fly into stations at 75 kph (45 mph in imperial terms) and stop on the dime. Now I've not played the new driving system in SCR but witnessed my brother play it. It still is a far cry compared to BR but if anything I can understand what they were trying to do.
Ever since BR came out at the start of 2023. I've been there since the start. Although I wasn't there for V1.0 and joined around the time of V1.1 I've been there since BR's 1st or 2nd week. The 14th of January, 2023 if my memory serves to be of any help to me 😅
But yeah the driving experience is surreal and it definitely feels more like my driving style and realism. Like in trains such as the Class 90 and Loco haul consists I tend to find them you need to brake almost a mile from the station if you're travelling down the Cuffley Mainline particularly the section between Leaton to Norrington.
What I love in each game
SCR: I think the training program from my experience and theory is fine and brings in people, the amount of content in game, the signal system is generally I don't find trouble.
BR: It's the game you want to go to for a surreal experience, better scenery and although there are substantially less trains in BR compared to SCR they are built to a high standard.
But mind you BR has done everything it has done in just over 2 years which isn't an easy feat compared to SCR which has been around for nearly 8 years. There's a 6 year gap between both games so in some ways I feel like it's unfair to compare both games in some areas but definitely I would generally say I enjoyed my experience in BR than my time in SCR
I had no idea about British Railway, thanks for making this video, SCR really shot themselves in the foot removing you from their content creator programme.
The only thing British Railway needs is the Pendolino. that's all I ask for
@BritishTrainsRBX same.
just because you are too poor to buy it in SCR, go away SCR fanboy
It has a pretendolino

@@kurnass2000+500 people within the BR server want a 390 too
I think SCR is better in many ways when it comes to gameplay. Especially when it comes to the driving system. I thinks its much easier to understand and its easier to control (however the change from the old system to the new one was a hard time for all of us). When it comes to the map id agree that BR looks better. A developer from SCR once said that the focus on the SCR builds is to sepreate the game from others. I understand this point but I still think that some thing are allowed to change though. But the main thing why Inthink SCR is better in general is the fact that it runs on poor devices smoothly (more or less). You cant say that about BR at all. In addition to that i think SCR has one of the best desinged UIs on the platform not because it looks good (I don't like the look tbh) but because its easy to understand and to use, the Ui-instances are not too small or too big. You are not overwhelmed with 6 buttons in the start menu like in BR. Instead you have 3 and everone exactly understands where to start the game. I think BR has is on a good way to become better but for now they arent. Long story short message: I like both games but BR is more complex and realistic while SCR is more user-friendly.
Nice video, some of the comments about signalling etc have been noted. Thanks for the feedback!
That edit in the beginning wad fire
My point of view and opinion:
SCR: Simple gameplay mechanics and driving experience for people who want a relaxed yet fun experience with good models and a large map to enjoy.
BR: More realistic, complex gameplay mechanics and driving experience for people who want a more challenging and realistic feeling with good models, extra features and a big map to explore and enjoy.
*Rail Sim Universe: Ultra-Realistic american train simulator, thats all i gotta say....oh right the game is like 15% done and its already looking crazy*
For me BR would be perfect if it wasn't for the signalling, coming into Leaton on the fast lines from Norrington the signal is usually red, however if you start slowing down on full brake from the first AWS warning for the double yellow you still wouldn't stop in time for the red.
11:22 the signaling system is (apparently) currently being worked on. It should improve the current signalling with the addition of automaticly assigned priorities.
It's quite unfair to hold this as a plus for SCR and a flaw for BR when they have the same issue as well. Areas such as Westercoast viaduct have too many clustered signal blocks that give too little time to brake for red signals.
SCR is a brilliant arcade simulator, BR is a brilliant realistic simulator. Overall I think they're about as good as each other, but it's important to consider they're not exactly the same style of game.
I much prefer BR bc you don’t have to train for jobs and the rules aren’t nearly as strict, also the devs of BR aren’t toxic
British Railways is Realism and SCR is like Arcade Mode.
they both have good features. BR has the realistic feel, while SCR has the additional role options (manual dispatching, manual signalling, etc) to make the railway feel more cohesive…
THEY SHOULD MERGE OML
no
And yet SCR doesn't have an interactive cab, which is something BR has
@BritishTrainsRBX yes and? both games are good, they both have features that the other lacks. its really a matter of massive multiplayer and different ways to play vs realism, quality, and more of a solo/duo game
that's not how it works
If I was a member of the dev/management of BR, I would die before entering any kind of relations with SCR lmao
I dont think the addition of the pretendolino was really to retaliate at scr tbh, i think it was more because they were already adding the new class 90 livery, so why not add the coaches it pulled in that livery irl?
9:59 finally, someone said it
Honestly my expectations were low but this turned out to be a pretty well-made video with solid opinions backed by facts. Personally, I would've chosen a different title as "SCR's BIGGEST Competitor" makes it seem like a video on the release of BR, and the video doesn't revolve around that. Something along the lines of "Does BR beat SCR in 2025? - A Comparison" would've been better, in my opinion. Overall I'd rate it 8/10, apart from the afformentioned title and some small mistakes it was high quality and interesting. Nice to see you making content again.
British Railway Is The Best with Ultrarealism ❤And SCR Graphics Look Like Cartoon And It Is Like Arcade Game .. I Do Play SCR But When Compared With British Railway Feels Outdated...
BR Doesn't Feels Like We Are Playing In Roblox The Game Experience Is Just Fun For Rail Fams🎉❤
And yet it appears as a Roblox game
honestly, they shouldn't be considered competition. they're both good games with different pros and cons that shouldn't be pitted against each other. doing that is just insulting to the devs who made the games what they are today
I swear the class 221 slilk livery appeared
Mmk
It did reappear yeh
BR if you want more of the driving experience, SCR if you want more of the roleplaying experience.
Both maps are big, although SCR has more branch so it kinda looks bigger.
I swear in BR's early days the signalling system had a huge benefit over SCR, that it queued up trains to get greens into major junctions so you couldn't get cut off from another line (a frequent problem in SCR). But it's not in the game now, so either they removed it at some point, or that sort of thing was never in the game in the first place. Maybe someone else knows more?
@@BritishAPT it never had it. Lower player numbers and less conflicting junctions existed so just made it seem less.
At the moment I'm not into trainsims. For some reason every community of these has to go upside down at one point and I think that'll be the case too for BR.
it already has since like october 2023
I stopped playing scr because I kept getting derailed or something out of nowhere and the grind being slower than time itself and also british railway is much realistic and also guarding gives you bonus and the passenger role being actually playable
DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE "Get closer to the buffer" WHICH GETS ME DESPAWNED 1/3 TIMES
11:24 yes at thornfield if you are coming from Marden Hill TMD you can pass trough the trains approaching/being at the platform and Avonhill signals are pretty bad
But the area surrounding Leaton up to Belmond Green as well as on the approach to Leaton from St James Park is so bad there are signals so close to each other and it's so easy to get a SPAD simply because there wasn't enough advanced warning and because the approach speed is 110 mph and usually you'd start breaking after passing the platforms at St James Park on the approach to Leaton.
While not truly competing, both compete for the attention of the limited number of train people. I think if scr wants to retain people so it can force pay to win gamepasses it should add more community asked suggestions like tramlink and freight. I think metro is the first part to this plan.
7:48 i kinda miss the old SCR train movement system
for the BR signalling system, one thing that I'm annoyed is the bidirectional tracks. The signals seems to stay green when a train enters the track from the opposite side. Happens in the Fayre branch and Avonhill station
That happend at osidge hill
Bro should’ve got GeneralTrainGuy to do the comparison or just to get him to speak about the game
SCR could have easily avoided that, for example adding some better scenery, making a actually good throttle system and idk maybe upgrading those 10 year old block rails??
But anyway, one problem BR has imo is how long it takes to get away from the Pacer. Generally I stopped playing Roblox Train Sims because they either are full of drama are just literal garbage.
The SCR prototype game has all of the features included but most of them have not been incorporated into the main game because lol
yeah it sucks being a new player but once you get out of the noob train/route phase, you gain coins way easier, unlike scr where you gain the same with any train or route.
@BritishTrainsRBX yeah it doesn't really matter if it's in a prototype game for like 2 years at this point, they still didn't add it, but managed to add a 1000 Robux gamepass already.
@@swtvic true
i see your back to your old ways of loving the 755. Also i think it would be super beneficial if SCR updated all of the textures to roblox's newer ones and updating the lighting system to the newest version. This would make the scenery like 2x better without having to do any upgrading at all.
another competitor that MIGHT also be huge is Rail Sim Universe when it becomes free
idk how this is gonna go
GCR: *Am i a joke to you?*
I'm still on the loading screen
GCR is fun, but it's basically dead
GCR doesn't load for me so nah
LSR: Guess, I'll just stay here in the corner, then.
God, I used to play GCR all the time back in 2018. Too bad it's basically dead now.
Great video! I would also like to point out that electrification for SCR is by overhead wires. However trains like the Class 444 and Class 458 which are on Connect are third rail only which is unrealistic.
11:51 exactly how I feel about Faymere to Westercoast in SCR, express train going through at line speed (125mph) you have no time to stop no matter how soon you see the precaution along the bridge/through the depot, it's a guaranteed SPAD.
Honestly, as a driving game, BR is better. I never got signaller in SCR and i rarely dispatched or guarded, so in my opinion BR is better, but if you prefer guarding or dispatching I can see why you'd like scr more. But also long trains gamepass made me stop playing completely in sheer anger. Also BR is likely adding a metro too soon.
This comparison video is the best, every comparison video I've seen people say that one game sucks and the other good, but doesn't justify and don't compare the details, so if comparison youtubers see this comment, stop doing that and compare the details please

yrreb is definitely the goat
@@wezen89 he has to fix MTG first before saying that
BR needs to expand, in Replay Value, yt fanbase and bigger train map and then it will beat SCR
there's a little bit of a Difference that you where saying about them both having 4 Operators, ... in BR there is just Running for the sake of Calling Patterns, in terms of Regional (Local), Semi fast and Intercity, the Differences being the in there calling patters and also this results in about the same amount of Coins per Min
Both game's are amazing. SCR is a template for all other game's of that sort. To have a multilayer train simulator on that scale is amazing ! In retrospect SCR is not perfect, but its generally gotten better and they clearing up lots of annoying glitches. British Railways is simply the next step in train simulator evolution. The realistic nature makes it my personal favorite. Here to, in the last couple of weeks, improvements were made at Avonhill with all the switching going into that terminal. Trains no longer collide as frequently, which is annoying. It seem, lots of time, now you will wait for a clear signal before departure if another train is entering. On a personal note, they need to get rid of ghosting. You dont lose points for being late, but you lose them for speeding.
I grind both br and scr but i think it would be cool to add the class 390 and hst into br.
BR is good because of the extreme realism that you don't expect from a Roblox train game.
SCR is good because there are more options for players to choose from. More trains, more routes, more stations, more everything!
So BR is higher quality content, SCR is more content.
Before BR came around I think GCR had extreme realism but that game just doesn't load for me now I see why you need a good PC to play
@BritishTrainsRBXyeah optimization is awful and the route system also sucks, but the train models are nice and the map is alright. i forget gcr even exists anymore tho, surprised it's not dead.
i like br because it has great models and great realism and i like scr for lots of trains and a big map
Another thing you didn't mention is that British Railway uses real-life liveries with slightly altered names to avoid copyright. SCR just have their own operators, and some of the liveries are kinda... bad, not to mention that there's little to no livery variation.
I prefer SCR. Although thats simply because im more experienced and have barely played BR. I would probably play BR more if i had other trains as oppose to the pacer. But, since i dont have enough robux to buy the trains, or have the time and patience to grind for them, i dont see myself playing BR much in the near future
you are epik 😎
its not hard to grind it
@UKTAG2 even with the pacer grinding in br is miles easier and faster than scr
@@OOFUS4103exactly lol, not to mention once you get other trains and routes, you can get coins easier unlike scr where
Yeah I understand it's easier. But it gets boring when I'm constantly driving the pacer on the same route

I would bring up Rail Sim Universe but that game is pretty different, since it has a larger focus on North American railroads instead of British ones
Hiya Draavo, Really enjoyed this video and its a lovely take on both games, I've recently joined a team who are working on a new, hyper-realistic game based on SWR and Southern, where is the best place to talk to you about this as I'd love to share some details about the project but currently as it's in early development I can't share too much here! Let me know :)
this comment will remain here until the end of this guys channel or youtube
@@davidso3838 Okayyy
I guess
I agree with the signalling needs improving. But what I really want is Electrostars.
SCR is good because you don’t need to grind forever to drive certain trains
BR you do
Class 345:
If we’re talking about realism, I honestly feel like a good comparison for BR would be GCR. I think the models are great on both games and have somewhat realistic sounds. I don’t know what SCR would be good to compare with since it is a semi realistic arcade train game. I honestly think GCR is extremely underrated and I think GCR would probably have been a better comparison.
To be honest, for the time I've been playing BR (since I was one of the beta testers and paid for early access) The dynamic signalling only malfunctions sometimes.. but the times it does work, it does so FLAWLESSLY and perfectly.
I miss when SCR used to have the best acceleration and deceleration like 0-100 or 100-0 in less than 10-20 seconds.😢💀
Get used to it
Is BR the one that uses the actual time for scheduling but your device’s time for when you can leave a station. Because whichever rail game did that wanted me to wait 30 minutes to depart each station.
Both use
@ SCR definitely doesn’t. My computer’s 30 minutes behind the real time. If it was synced to my computer’s time like BR, I wouldn’t be able to leave the stations.
@@DrTocan it's synced to real british timezone
@@a337z_5 timezones aside, if I was supposed to leave a station at :30, BR or whatever rail game it was wouldn’t let me leave until my computer got to :30. Whether it be 4:30 there and 11:30 where I am whatever. Just an example. The time in game for the scheduling would actually line up properly, but the train’s time would be synced with my computer. That’s the best I can describe it. And SCR does not cause me this headache.
@@DrTocan it doesn't take time from your pc
The downside to br 80x pack is that it costs a whopping 4000 points
its like 4 quid with robux.
But you get 5 trains (800,801,802,803,805)
You guys are wrong about signalling. BR signalling is automatic, meaning it detects any train beyond 100 meter. But the signalling problems you said is actually your data or weak PC. Certain parts of SCR is one of the disaster. Signalling is fun for SCR fans. Although, it is very confusing and hard, especially those playing with signalling. Also, weekly store is always weird considering British Railway them self knows that every store only needs coins. The only way in BR getting coins is grind or buy the coins. However, SCR don't have stores considering they are the only game with points. The hardest thing to get in SCR is trains and operators as well as points. Some longer railway routes in SCR are one of the worst one. Earning those points is a massive job. It could take a year just to get everything where as BR takes months just unlocking everything. SCR is pointless...
nah who actually says that scr is realistic 😭
The fanboys who have never played BR once in their entire life
@@easy_em2 SCR is seriously unrealistic. Waterline runs literal tram distanced, the trains accelerate wayyy too quickly, not even gonna mention the throttle control and also some bridges that make no sense and are unrealistic (Morganstown-Benton)
It’s kinda realistic but BR is a lot more
@@EndIessProductionsits not realistic scr is trash😂
I have a preference for BR, although i used to play SCR, cuz of realism and yet that's not a simulator, although i have the impression it is.
And also it's extremely easy to grind on BR.
Oh yeah the signal issues i swear....
You can get every train in BR without paying COUGH
BR fans after the SCR devs release 1 gamepass:
did i jus spot someone crying?
@sojw5679 nuh uh
these people in the replies when draavo says it (2:30) : 😴
these people when this guy says it : 😡
@casualpendolino7136 scr fans when you criticize every horrible decision scr does:
why did you just have the dominik guy repeat everything you've already said in the video verbatim lmao. also why does the man sound so petty whenever discussing BR - like it's clear as day that the game sweeps SCR quality-wise, i don't understand how is this even a conversation
• I didn't repeat everything Draavo said - I wrote my own script for the video, and I elaborated on things that he briefly mentioned earlier in the video
• The only reason why I would sound petty is because I was a little sick when I recorded the script, so my voice sounded unusual. I was not aiming to sound biased - I was stating what SCR does better than BR, and what BR does better than SCR, which is the aim of the entire video
• It's not just quality. If you fully watched and understood the video, we talked about much more than quality; the number of trains, the ability to dispatch and signal, the great station designs, the signalling; these are all reasons why some people would choose SCR over BR, but yes, you are right in saying that in general BR does have better quality trains
• I had to change my script a few times because it ended up sounding too biased towards BR; I am introduced in the video as a long-term player and contributor to BR, which is why I felt inclined to make a fair comparison to not sound like I'm glazing BR
• Draavo is a long-term SCR player, I am a long-term BR player, we both have different opinions and views, so we decided to come together and talk about all the pros and cons on both games. You cannot really say that you "don't understand how this is even a conversation" when if you look at the comments, they are very divided between SCR and BR, so the whole point of this video is to start a topic of conversation about the two games, and how they differ
i have been playing br since the mid 2023 and i have never experienced buggy signal
Btw now theres Opal Island Railway that is really similar to both of these games
There’s now 300 players playing SCR meaning that SCR went downhill
why br is better: 17:00
MAXWELL
tbh, I only played BR once but now since ik how big BR is, I might consider returning to the game. But tbh, I'm more on the SCR side since that was the first train game I played and it still is after V2.0. Only thing that I might NOT be looking forward to in BR is how buggy the signals are. I HATE waiting behind a red signal when there's not ANOTHER train in front of me.
"The first game to have fully modelled train interiors"? The flip are you on about did you forget about GCR
Honestly I think SCR annouccment is way better than BR because SCR actually paid the annoucer to do the annoucment.(Just my opnion)
scr will be liked more because lower end devices can handle it a lot better than br
Dude I wouldn’t consider scr to be a low end system game, you need decent hardware to run smooth frames on this game
doesnt mean scr is better
i don't ever dispatch or guard as it's very boring to me, so i already play train games just to drive trains. br has way better trains, sounds and features. the map is more realistic size and scenery wise, and the routes are also various and realistic. the one thing scr does better, however, are the stations designs. still, if br improves that, it will completely blow scr out of the water for me. optimization is also better in br which is funny considering it's more detailed. i already stopped playing scr that often and have switched to br and if br continues to improve, i'll most likely quit scr for good.
Ngl, we might need to complete the trilogy and have a video on wcr
irrelevant game tbh
wcr is way behind both ngl
I mean SCR could catch up for 2.2 by adding third rails and more realistic models and realistic tracks
a new competitor will soon enter
Too dark no bright colors too hard too realistic the 10 year olds may switch but the under 10 may stay.
BR is way better in terms of realism in most aspects, SCR has better realism in terms of operations though, like mentioned the signalling is very good and there are dispatchers and guards like BR though the guards in SCR are less realistic than the one in BR, I think its a good idea for players to have to do trainings to unlock roles though SCR should be more strict since you need to mess up quite a bit in order to be demoted which leads to situations where you report a user and 2 days later you see them in game doing the same thing you reported them for, SCR has terrible realism because they are focused on other aspects, not sure which aspects though as their dev team seems quite lazy as not many new features have came out while BR has lots of realism, a smaller dev team but still seems like it has had way more content added in the same time
At least you don't have to pay 1k robux to make your train 11 cars in BR
In my opinion both games are good in their own ways
People are CLINGING onto scr at this point its hilarious.
I barely play scr since i discovered BR. As soon as br adds a 390 scr is DOOMED.
The game pass only gives you the pendolino for free. The rest are just longer versions of existing trains it seriously isn’t that deep and doesn’t even deserve mentioning because the devs have to make money somehow. Only broke people complain continuously about that feature when in BR you might as well buy your favorite trains because grinding as a noob is hellish
SCRs controls are most like the new tap changer on the class 86 in BR, and that's considered the hard mode of that game
no it's absolutely not lmao, scr is still just up and down arrow meanwhile the tap changer is complicated and separate from the throttle
@swtvic SCRs inputs are also separate. What you want and what the game allows are two separate things. The tap changer is worse, but both have the feeling of very little control over what you actually want
Can we stop directly comparing an arcade style game to a realistic style game?
My thoughts:
tl;dr - Neither of them are directly "better than the other", they're both good in their own way.
I really like both games, I really enjoy the realism of British Railway and I enjoy the more simpler style of Stepford County Railway.
Personally, BR quickly gets dull, especially with the TTS announcements, the repeated monotone track joint sounds and occasionally i get tired of the dull coloring.
SCR sometimes also gets boring, I especially get tired of the sounds and get annoyed with the sound glitch that happens with door sounds, whistles, horns, and onboard announcements.
Driving in SCR isn't worse than BR, but it's not better either. I don't mind the 2.0 driving system in SCR.
I also one time experienced in BR where every single train around me was either broken in pieces or completely still on the track with the train sound still happening, even though I had smooth gameplay for myself with no issues, I've never had this problem with SCR, even on a big server.
The gamepass in SCR does feel like a "Woah seriously?" moment. I was a bit surprised myself, but it's fine, really. The entire situation the gamepass caused feels like a massive overreaction over such a little thing. The game has worked perfectly fine without the gamepass and in no way should the existence of a gamepass change that. Playing the game now with the gamepass released, it's the exact same, nothing has changed, the only difference is the occasional long train, the game is just as playable as before.
The statement on the gamepass from the Operations Director is also ignored in this video in favor of just saying "it's so the devs can get more money".
The BR devs giving out a Robux gift card after the SCR gamepass released is fine, but immediately following that gift card announcement with the suggestion of using it to "get yourself some longer trains" was NOT needed. It's funny, but seriously?
The recent "weekly item" feature in BR just feels like a feature they added to keep players playing, these rare or unique liveries are not cheap either. These things, as far as I've seen, are as expensive as the train itself! They aren't of a similar price of other liveries in game, they're not even just double the average livery price. I get that they are oh so rare! and oh so unique! but the price tag on them still makes it feel like a feature that is meant to keep players playing or to get players to purchase points. But that's just what I think.
Those were my loser thoughts
16:20 you can literally spawn midway the route
That's not what I meant. What I meant was that, for example, you cannot terminate at intermediate stations unless you buy a separate route to terminate there, even though both routes serve exactly the same stations. In BR, you can buy an area "pack", meaning you unlock all possible routes to that area from anywhere in the map that you currently own.
The graphics, sounds and amount of realism is better in BR but SCR has better gameplay I think
I barely play br. If I want realism I play train sim world, if I want simplicity and, multiplayer and/or variety I play SCR
Last year I still like SCR more than BR but now SCR need gamepass and BR V1.3.3 release, so i change to play BR more than SCR
