It's not actually that hot in the cab. You normally have a flap that you can lift up over the entrance to the firebox so the heat is contained. On these preservation railways - or certainly the one I work on - you don't have to shovel coal too often so therefore it doesn't get too hot.
Loving the videos Paul. Keep them up.
25mph is because that's the preservation railway speed limit which is at every steam railway! Great video! Love to see more of steam loco videos and TS.2016 :)
I agree, we need a rail network in TS. Just running a single line starts to be a bore to me.
you cant beat the old steam trains love it
I'm a volunteer on the Severn valley railway and I repair locos and stuff like that, last week I dressed up on the Santa specials, I've been doing it for 2 years now and hopefully one day I will become a driver, I've already had a footplate experience and helped shunting trucks in an 08 shunter btw I loved the video
The SVR is my favourite heritage railway!!
It's Sam Hussey which station are you located at mate ?
I'm gonna buy this game, I'd probably use a lot of steam trains coz I LOVE them!
I know this is three years old now, but three years ago I had never even heard of Train Simulator. You've probably figured it out by now, but I'll say it anyway: You don't need to let the brakes do all the work when heading downhill. I'm playing the Old West trains right now, and I don't even have a brake! Judicious use of the whistle will tell the brakemen when to apply and release. To control the speed close the regulator (throttle) and coast. After a minute or so you can reverse to whatever setting works for you. Bring the regulator back up to whatever setting works for you and use that to control your downhill speed.
Great video, by the way.
So satisfying hearing the classic "chugga chugga chugga." You have got to love the steam whistle too. What kid did not have the dream of riding up in the engineer section of a steam train and getting to pull the whistle?
Around 11 mins the sounds are pretty much a good sound for a minimal techno song ;), loved to watch this vid btw
Wow! I go on this railway almost every summer and this map looks exactly the same as the real thing! Great vid Squirrel :)
I've ridden the steam train on this line from the other end, Minehead along to Watchet and back. This really captures the feeling of it quite well.
My army lorry has been on a military train on this exact track it was amazing. IRL. Squirrel you can go here in real life! There are so many pheasants on this line!
I think all the heritage railways are 25mph. Lovely vid, and the route is worth every penny, wouldn't you say.
Certainly seemed like a faster speed could have been issued. You did well. Most enjoyable and informative video. Thanks.
Just a couple helpful hints:
Bishops Lydeard is pronounced Bih-shups Lid-e-yard. (Stress yard)
25m/h maximum is because it is a preserved railway under light railway order which allows a maximum of 25 or sometimes 30 unless special permission is granted for TPO runs or it's the GCR.
The loco has a driver who runs the loco, a fireman (on the left for GWR) who manages the pressure (water and coal) and on the mainline or visiting locos a 3rd member, the traction inspector. The inspector makes sure no safety violations are occurring and if anything does happy, he records it. Privately owned locos have an owners rep too.
Squirrel, the reason the line is so slow is that heritage railways are restricted to operate at 25 miles per hour. The only circumstance I know of that it can be increased is for railways that have an AWS system of some kind.
Keep up the greaat content Paul! :D
Thank you
ItsJerry_22 hi
Love Your Work Squirrel

Great video Paul. FYI all heritage railways in England have a speed limit of 25mph imposed on them so that they can run under a light railway order. A light railway order allows them to run without modern safety equipment, i.e. locked doors etc.
that is cool i used to live in bishops lydeard was great being a kid near the WSR.
2 drivers? One of them is the driver and one of them is a fireman.
Thanks for taking ,e on a virtual ride on my second favourite steam railway after the mid Hants
It is not unpleasant when your in the cab of one of them
I think for the brake leak thing you need to open the Small and/or Large Ejectors for it to be able to hold pressure. That's what I'm remembering from a similar steam train anyway. I don't think that bit is covered by the auto fireman.
Great video Paul! Loved that you did a video in the Watchet - Williton area!
Would be nice to see larger areas of train routes in Europe, Canada and US. But, with so much detail that they put into the scenery, maybe the files would be way too large or PC's would require a lot more resources. Flight Sims. and Truck Sims utilize a lot more generic ground features, so they can get by with large maps of a country or the world. I know technology is changing, who knows what's ahead in the next couple of years. I'm 66 YO and only hope to see it keep developing.
WSR is a heritage railway, that is why the limit is 25mph
The brakes are vacuum brakes, meaning that the brakes are held off by the vacuum pressure. A leak anywhere in the system will automatically apply the brakes making this a fail safe system. The pressure gauge indicates the pressure in the brake cylinder. The lower the indicated pressure the harder the brakes are applied.
Same as on a bus, but this is never simulated. I`d love to see a bus sim as authentic as train sims are
bishop lydeard is pronounced: bishop lid-e-ard :-)
the reason why there is a 25mph limit is due to the fact that the heritage railway company (West Somerset Railway) want the passengers to enjoy the scenery
When I see these trains it always reminds me of Back to the Future 3. I love that movie.
Just loved it, thanks for sharing.
I have the old microsoft train sim, This one is far superior to mine. I would like a new one, wondered if this one is still available.
I have my own layout so can run my engines, but when its cold its nice to be indoors and as you say just watch the scenery go by ha ha ha.
Well done great video.
All the best
Duncan.
(Lid-e-ard) squirrel! 😉
I have been on that route today and it's really nice
17:40 @Squirrel near enough all heritage lines are 25mph, because of the old rolling stock, wagons, trains and tracks
What is my life I'm waisting time watching a Train sim but Ican't look away.
ive been on thatrailway 8 times in real life. best railway in the uk
the line is realistic but sceneray out side the station is awful
fo the full from minehead to bishops lydeard. pronanced lydi ard
ethmister6666 same i love that they did this although it was highly inaccurete and didnt run the full length as it does every day.
Squirrel old chap. You're having trouble controlling your speed down hill because your reverser is set way too high. Too much steam going to the cylinders mate. with the throttle at zero use the reverser to control the speed. Much easier than trying to correcting "balance" of the brakes.
If going downhill, the reverser will do nothing with the regulator (throttle) shut. Brakes are definitely required.

Beejoo Boyd Yes?
Not on a real steam locomotive. If it's an accurate re-creation, it will inhail gasses from the smoke box then compress it on the exhaust stroke if the engine is running opposite of what the reverse lever is positioned. If this is not an accurate re-creation then just give it a tiny bit of throttle.
This reminds me of the Severn Valley Railway. Great Video Squirrel :D
Squirrel, if you want a game to control your own railroad, get the Railroad Tycoon series. I suggest the third one as it's 3d, but the second one is spectacular.
12.36 I live in the next village along from bishops and believe it or not the crossings are still in full use there
What a nice locomotive. Guess I'll need to search eBay now to see if there are any small scale models of it :D
Really enjoyed this one, I can`t wait to get a decent PC and have a play of this again, laptop just can`t cope! The level of concentration weirdly appeals to me lols
I live next to this railway!! nice video squirrel!
ForbGaming.tv same
Great work squirrel, keep them coming🚂🚞🚞🚞
nice videos are coming out everyday!
Great Video! There are still some small stations where you can cross the track, Ribblehead is one.
Omg it's another steam run!
I work in Williton and live in Minehead just 7 miles from there great place to live
harrybullock999 I live very close to you then
I love the steam trains. Awesome video. :D
Me to
great video squirrel
also awsome vid i injoy watching it alot
YE prob i LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Heck of a good train ride on that old Train Paul. Where all the steam that comes out around the wheels when they stop, like on those old Western movies ? That'd be nice to see. The sim looks great. keep on doing what you do Paul !
on steam trains the pressure of the brakes will rise as you are not using the brakes and there is a build up of brake pressure meaning with high pressure you will brake faster
the brake pressure will increase it makes it realistic if it does that
please do quick drive with GWR 6960 steam loco! but, if you spedding, you don't need to worry because you don't lose any points!!!
When I was watching this I realised that you were exactly where I was
You should do more steam engines, Paul!
Love that intro btw
good video Paul
I'm still waiting for someone to make the Fitchburg railway for the MBTA. It follows historic route 2
It's slow because in the UK preserved railways are legally light rail not heavy rail so have a top speed of only 25
if you have a long trip and want a fast trip and comfort the "supertrains" are much better, the steam locomotives are much cooler tho!
ive been on this railway and been to williton on this is so=uch a good ride u can stick your head out the window becuz it is single railway no need to worry about getting your head smashed off by a train
Put the throttle into full then release the brakes then sit back watch it
5:05 I guess people play these sims for different reasons because funnily enough, I tend to play TS to challenge myself with steam locos and see if I can drive them in advanced with no prior experience in career mode.
More trucking diaries
My local heritage line!!
Awww yeah!!!!!
Nice :D
Nice video
Good work Paul please can you do more of this
hgh
Very nice Loved it !!
Paul i love your ts vids i hope you can do maybe a American freight scenario
it's 25mph because that's the limitation for a private track like that.
The guys who run those machines will not approve of you calling the locomotive as a train, they'll be throwing lumps of coal at you. The train is whatever the locomotive pulls behind it.
great vid
I'm voluntary in Argentina on the CDP Lynch we've got 1 running and 2 on repair. 6 more on standy by though
1:59 When I was back in high school I mentioned to someone how much I love steam trains, and they argued in detail how much trains like that were terrible for the environment and how inefficient they were. That same weekend I went on a trip to a heritage railway and felt bad about it for no particular reason.
Paul can you stream or do a video on the west highland line extension or west highland line south it has fantastic scenery!
Nice intro
"Good evening, Squirrel.. My, you are looking fine (must be all those nuts)... Well now... Isn't this splendid: bounding along the old Somerset Cheese line, as we used to do frequently before old Beeching, got into league with the motorway brigade.. But with good old Squirrel at the wheel- well- several dozen wheels to be exact, we can be sure to arrive at the destination in style... Am I alone in thinking the age of steam was superb? I mean; even that old chestnut- the 'B.R. Special'- the onboard sandwich- tasted far better back then, than any similar type does today.
That said, I must dash for now.. Must get back to Fawlty Towers, by ten, to make last orders at the bar..
Nothing like a spot of Captain Morgans, before bed, now is there old boy? ... Tally-ho for now!"
Can or does anyone ever do the whole trip from cab view without the popups. I'm mostly still flight sim, but I find just the cockpit view without popups or exterior shots and such seems a more immersing and realistic experience, in other words, you see and do just what the pilot or driver would see and do.
I have been on this railway and the first station is pronounced bishops li-de-ard
that building was a hay barn
I love the game to
I wrote a blog post a while back about how I f*cking hate video games. Because you see this is what it does, it appeals to like, the male fantasy.
MINEHEAD I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SOMERSET
Hi all preserved railways are 25mph i work at great central railway. the railway i work at can run upto 70mph but line as to be closed
did you know that the train looks like the flying scotsmen
i love your intro
They have Virtual companies with Trainz.
You do know that you can actually use the reverser for braking, right? If you put it into "reverse" the steam will act the opposite way against the cycling and slow down the wheel revolution.
Also, if you're curious, there is this rather awesome training video on how to become a steam driver in the good old days: ruclips.net/video/5SEicpqdumI/видео.html
wow British cities are closer together than out here in the Midwest U.S. my closest town to mine is 25 miles East.
think about proportions before commenting: 1, America is hundreds if not thousands times bigger then the so everything will be closer and 2, there're stations not cities.
evil monster I think you need to think before you type. Mistake or not that's still rude.
"America is thousands of times bigger" xD You should follow your own advice and think before commenting, the USA is about 50 times bigger.
good vid
yeah its steam train time choooo chooooooooo
Heritage railways have a limit of 25 mph
I'd love to run a steam train past a group from greenpiece!
Hey Squirrel are you going to get Train Sim World Heavy Haul when it comes out ? did you see the videos about it?
I'm a volunteer on the Severn valley railway
I'm so jealous right now I wish my laptop could support those graphics as I have this train but my graphics aren't nearly as good
Wow where's the 125 limit jeez XP
I think most steam trains had 3 operators please tell me if I'm wrong
