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 :)

I seriously thought he would still and tell welcome back to the railway, instead of train simulator. Prepared guy he is!

[@SamsTrains]

haha I know right... it's a difficult thing to say after all these years! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Vyn_Solina]

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.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh interesting - I'll have to watch that myself! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@FlyingScott]

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.

[@SamsTrains]

I'm very impressed in that case then - and it was a lot of fun to drive these!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@stashyjon]

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hammer blow effect on the track, needless to say as soon as the LMS introduced the Black Fives, they stated to be withdrawn, and although three had their withdrawal postponed by WW2 and the locomotive shortage, all were gone by early 1945.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

[@bluebellsfan8704]

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!

[@ianhartley395]

That 0-8-0 would be a fascinating model!

[@daylightman8459]

Yes but imagine that thing trying to go around 2nd radius curves or points!

[@newobanproductions]

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.

[@John73John]

"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.

[@SamsTrains]

haha I thought so... glad to hear I behaved accurately! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Hiawatha_Productions]

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

[@connorsutherland2005]

Do you have any uther caledonia works locomotive? If you do please review them.

[@audigex]

"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

[@thomascollector5443]

I never was a big fan of most caledonian locos but the liverys are something else! Keep up the great train sim videos -TC5

[@europacifictradersltd3717]

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.

[@eastpavilion-er6081]

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.

[@josiahdrake2632]

It does look beautiful.

[@RHaenJarr]

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

[@SamsTrains]

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 :)

[@napsbrickrailways2290]

You can't beat the look of a Scottish locomotive. Go on Scottie! -Bricky in Scotland Ps luv u Sam x 😂

[@SamsTrains]

I agree - and thanks so much Bricky! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@mrowl-the-dsm1304]

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 KZbin videos, your an absolute pleasure to watch.

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you so much Mr Owl - that's lovely of you to say! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@LBSC_Railway_Production]

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!!

[@EsotericArctos]

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.

[@SheffieldNo14Productions]

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!

[@seeleymainline8293]

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

[@SamsTrains]

That sounds pretty awesome - nice idea!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@mistermadmachine6311]

Caledonian 600 class: exists Me:😮are you Donald and Douglases bigger brother

[@kevinhale9400]

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.

[@_KaiTheGamer_]

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.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

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!

[@still_guns]

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.

[@Taggart00]

Thanks to your review of Papa John's I am having my first one while in Hastings Travelodge

[@davidbarnes3075]

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).

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Wow, they look good!

[@SamsTrains]

I agree - they sure do! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Definitely a striking blue color. Love seeing the models on various channels.

[@yuyan5683]

You should get the Western Lines of Scotland route.

[@williambabcoke248]

I second this, one of the best routes in the game (In my opinion)

[@physiocrat7143]

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?

[@alancarpenter2070]

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.

[@MandoUzumaki]

Great video Sam with an awesome loco! By the way, what is your setup?

[@markolysynchuk5264]

Some manufacturer should definitely make the blue CR 191 class. It looks lovely.

[@SushiDoge]

I love Caledonian railway engines, McIntosh designs have always been my favorite! I can tell this will be a fun video :)

[@SamsTrains]

I do too - they're excellent aren't they?! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Themclachlans]

Nice to see Radley Station and the junction for the branch to Littlemore (where I once lived) and Cowley!

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic - does it look much like that in real life?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Themclachlans]

It was pretty realistic, except that Radley Station is usually deserted!

[@233kosta]

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.

[@jameshardy4354]

The caledonian had some lovely locomotives we need more ready to run caledonian locomotives

[@SamsTrains]

I know right - we certainly do!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@iceeblueburst03]

6:47 I thought that looked like Donald or Douglas for a second until I realized it’s an 0-8-0 locomotive.

Oh Sam the Caladonain is my weakness its been a while since train sim but its good to have it back. thanks

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

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.

[@SamsTrains]

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 :)

[@bluebellsfan8704]

19:16 Wow! That's a lot of trucks!

[@ManOfUnknownWorth]

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.

[@federico339]

No model today, saving up for the APT? ;D

[@SamsTrains]

haha thank you - it is a bit weird isn't it?! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@jakeandzack5763]

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.

[@shinon748]

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.

[@GWRFan281]

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.

[@jaywatchtravel6146]

you have not done this sort of video in a long time are you going to do more roles coster videos as I jest re-watch some

[@Mr_Smidge]

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

[@homeofthehotwheellegends2876]

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! :)

[@lapiswake6583]

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.

[@davidbugler4597]

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.

[@ethanwhisman5459]

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
