TS2015 - Mannheim to Karlsruhe (DB BR425)

[@emx08]

Mannheim

[@BigLarry1950]

Don't ever lose you sense of humor and commentary. It's all the reasons I watch your videos. .... From Indiana, USA.

[@GustavLjungberg]

If i were to get on a train were the driver sticks his head out of the window and goes "Sorry guys, i´m learning!" i would call into work like yeah you know what im sick today

[@DANNYprice28]

I felt like Paul was on some sort of happy pill in this one

[@ixXCloudXxi]

You are very right these seats are very uncomfortable thats for sure :D

[@jacksonraynor1952]

That Beep You Got Before The 80 Limit Was The German Warning System, Sifa.

[@StrikeEagle78]

"I see you... and your twin" omg Paul you have me laughing so much! :)

[@nuothe11th]

The "Distance Marker" you are asking about at the 4:00 mark is used in the LZB control system. It is the distance to the next change in speed, whether an increase or a decrease.

[@tobyuuuuu]

Squirrel, the thing in the middle counting down is the Linienzugbeeinflussung (LZB), it shows you when to change speed (start breaking, etc).

[@xXDrSnugglesXx]

Thank you for another Train Sim vid, TSM and P3D are two of my favorite series on your channel :) Thanks alot

[@leah5580]

Train Simulator aka how fast can Squirrel get distracted and start doing weird stuff with the passengers.

[@joshuaeubanks1445]

Your so rude!

[@heyapple4098]

+Joshua Eubanks its just a joke!

[@MrJizzy181]

I am so impressed with the detail! I commute everyday on that route and it just looks like the real deal! I even recognised my friends apartment, my work place, the station architecture, the scenery, pretty much everything. The only thing that is different is that you arrived on time. Generally the RB or S-Bahn are 5 to 15 Minutes late. It's so scary seeing where you live in a freaking game. I mean.... I even saw my Ex- girlfriends house and the street I live in..... chills... Generally german train stations are very clean in comparison to the US, UK and many other countries. So it is pretty accurate the cleanliness of the stations.

[@Deconstructed1]

"I see you, and your twin" Amazing... cracked me right up!

[@YekouriGaming]

You purchase tickets on the train or on the station/next to the station. Train staff then patrols the train to check for tickets. That's nearly how it is in scandinavia aswell. The sound reducing walls are due to ICE, it makes a lot of noice because it pushes a lot of wind at high speed

[@mitchellvdree]

Squirrel In Germany and the Netherlands I know that the signals have dynamic speeds. In Germany, the triangle down with a number means that the next signal has the 80 speed limit enabled. The triangle above the signal is the dynamic limit.

[@theogreiner9855]

Oh yes Squirrel !!! Thank you for uploading a TS2015 gameplay!! Been waiting for a long time! Keep doing them :)

[@nuothe11th]

Good call on not trusting the 50 at the end, it would apply at the signal before the 50 on the track display.

[@harmzegt8066]

yeah paul, all is good and well, and you are doing great, but you have to be more in the cabin to watch the signals! the digital 8 meant 80km/h. arrow down = comming up, arrow up = from here! watching the scenery makes a great youtube video, i know, but that's not what a traindriver can afford to do all day ;-) Greetings, Harm.

[@timelord1986]

Do you have any idea how cool I am! LMAO!! You can always make me smile Paul, thank you mate.

[@krishantwalia8104]

Hi! I love your train sim videos! :) One thing I've noticed is that you seem to have trouble stopping at the right place on the platform. One tip, you can find the distance to where to stop on the platform just to the left of the ETA in the box where it says the next station! It counts down and tells you how far you are from where you need to stop when approaching a platform :) I hope this helps!! :D It's not criticism! I just posted this because you say have trouble finding where to stop :) Thanks

[@robertofraser101]

hi Paul you were well cheery in this video you made me laugh so many times and yea squirrel trains has buffet with coffee tea and squirrell nuts etc for sale have a good week thanks

[@dubaut]

Squirrel For this scenery it is actually worth to read the manual, since this train simulates LZB very good and you have actually the feeling how driving a train feels if you are in the cab of a very modern one :-)

[@Xoron]

You know, the signals are completely sufficient to play the game if you leave the passengers alone and let us see the view from tha cabin only. You won't even need the sideview with all the speed limits and signals. And for the signals and displays: The digital numbers on the track are variable speed limits and are used for switches for example. A yellow number inside a top down triangle announces the tenfold value as a speed limit coming up in 1 km. 1 km later, the same number in white is shown in a properly oriented triangle. Those limits are always coupled to light signals. The same system also applies to fixed speed limits (narrow bends, etc.) but the numbers are not shown on digital displays but rather on metal plates about 1 m above ground beside the track. The green digital displays and the yellow arrow in the speed dial in the cabin belong to a system called LZB. It gets activated when you drive onto main lines and it's announced by a small plate by the track where it says "LZB". The yellow arrow is your current speed limit, the green LED number is the upcoming speed limit and the center green bar is the distance to this upcoming limit.

[@Chrassi]

As a German, it's hilarious how squirrel pronounces these locations.:D

[@captain_john_d]

Chrassi But as a German, apparently you can't say "squirrel"? Lol

[@Bhavrageaverage]

I have this scenario pack! It's a great train to drive and the scenery is BEAU-tiful

[@TheSplinter27]

there's a good explanation for the speed limits

[@user3098304]

yellow numbers under the signal means there is a speedchange at the next signal (6 for 60, 8 for 80, 16 for 160, etc) white numbers over the signal means there is a speedchange at THIS signal the green thing in the middle is a rangeindicator to the next signal/speedchange but only when LZB is enabled/aviable (the black cable in the middle of the track) and u may have to activate the sander to get better breaking performance

[@N4rg0n]

This Video really caught my eye, because I actually live really close to Karlsruhe.

[@MrOutofcontrolvideos]

Another awesome video! And it's the 5th video in a row - boy i love daily videos! Amazing work Paul due to all the daylight saving times at the moment i miss most of your streams hear in Australia but the videos are epic!! GG

[@KraftProtz]

Little bit disappointed that you weren't using PZB and SiFa, then, on the other hand, perhaps you are not experienced with it, so it's cool. The LZB scale in the middle of your cockpit shows the distance in meters from your current position to either a change of speed (shown by a new speed limit in the field in the right gauge) or the distance to a complete halt, shown by three zeroes in that same gauge. Watch out for the little "bug", how you called it, if it goes under your current speed (because of a lower speed limit), you'll receive an emergency braking. Also, as I'm always driving with all the train safety systems on, I don't know whether you have to press PZB free at the end of the LZB line, if they are on you'll again receive an emergency braking if you fail to do so. Regarding the braking, try to hit 60 km/h at the start of the platform, as soon as you are at that point apply the brakes with around 80% of force, with the DB 42x classes (not the 420 though) you'll stop perfectly at the "H"-Signs. Feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand something, I'll try to explain it in another way, as English is not my native language. Greets

[@ondrasek06]

Squirrel, you have all the info about next stop in the bottom-left corner ;)

[@TheIshmael98]

Nailed that breaking squirrel :)

[@wolfando7198]

Green bar indicates the next speed limit change ;)

[@TecrasTrash]

How they know how to start braking: First off, "EbuLa". Electronic timetable + signals + speed limits and such, then as a real book and also, there's always a signal 1000m in front of a station.

[@TecrasTrash]

***** If it is a stop without a signal, a board will be put next to the track which is white with black diagonal stripes.

[@fringestalin6263]

The thing between the speed-o-meter and brake gauge is part of LZB in-cab signalling. It is the distance until the next speed limit measured in metres. It normally displays it as the vertical green bar unless the speed change is over 4km (4000m) away, and then the number like 9900 will appear instead. It will normally stay at that if it is further than that and start to reduce the closer you get. This doesn't show at speeds below 160km/h though, so you need to activate PZB with CTRL + NumPad Enter before you start the journey. Hope that clears it up a bit.

[@GreenDachshund]

With this train you can easily drive 50 km/h at the beginning of the platform to stop on time at the end of the platform.

[@Pvemaster2]

Loved the ride, Paul! :)

[@thomazio8724]

this was good fun!!:=) loved it! had my evening meal while watching...as always:)

[@froll1999]

From somebody who rode this line for 5 years, yes those seats are really uncomfortable.

[@otbusiness8653]

The one in the passenger cabin looks like your driver :D

[@OssyJD]

Just saying but your train driver character is the same as the special guy in the back. He is your twin

[@Valkyrien04]

Squirrel, Read up on German Signalling. That ghost 80km/h would make a LOT more sense

[@bsian03]

I think the PZB speed change dial (the green thing) is for you to prepare for the speed limit, and not actually when it comes into force. I'm not sure about this, but that's what I think anyway

[@bsian03]

And also at departure at Wiesental the 8 means to travel at no more than 80kmph. All you have to do with the number is to times it by 10 and then that's the speed limit specified by the signal.

[@XX9X25]

+Harry Nim The green LZB (it's not the PZB) Display shows the difference to the next signal what is red or reduce the speed limit. Somethimes the difference is running down beacause the dispatcher didn't set the relevant signal already to Hp1 (Hp1=green) Sorry my english isn't the best

[@bsian03]

Sorry i get them both mixed up I'm not from Germany...

[@jonkess2768]

That green Stuff is the LZB

[@WesleySmallz80]

You should turn on the PZB, understand how it works and a lot of those changes start making a whole lot more sense.

[@kenshaw6985]

gr8 video that passenger passed out so they faxed him to hospital lol keep up the great wrk

[@NextSound170]

A gamer who plays games and laughs too, wish others had as much fun and humour! Its a serious sim just like OMSI but lighten up! 😂

[@Athenstrainman]

loved this video!!! Your commentary is hilarious

[@benjamingibson7999]

ive just seen the advert for the weardale to teesdale drive can you consider it for next time it wil be beautiful. B

[@gerbazs]

Squirrel, yes the game is pretty annoying with the speed limits. But if you read this, it may clarify it a bit. Basically the game has a well-known bug, and that is a mistery why the developers won't fix it. The little track side view at the button displays speed limits wrong VERY OFTEN. The only thing that can be trusted is the signals. You spotted a >>yellow>white>will

[@trainboy3534]

Hey Squirrel, I’m a fan of your videos.

[@andrewgray6406]

The thing in the middle is the distance to the next speed change

[@NuSpirit_]

Full TrainSim video after a long time :) Thanks

[@craft-ideas9015]

I like you :P -\_(• •)_/-

[@MuhammadHafizuddinAgentA2]

You can identify ICE line by seeing the black line on the center of the track

[@sirjambon]

I wish someone would start modelling the London Underground in Train Simulator. Any reason why that can't be done?

[@ggspikey4170]

Dovetail have said that they're not going to do an underground line anytime soon, because a lot of people complained about the London - Faversham (HS1) line is in tunnels for too long, so a line where it is even more underground is unlikely. They said this in reply to a request of the Channel tunnel with Eurostar. However, there is no reason why a third party company or individual can't build it.

[@-T90Vladimir]

SirJambon! :O Wasn't expecting to see ya around here!

[@Ascendance2001]

SirJambon there's London Underground Simulator for about the price the DLC would probably cost

[@wankadok15]

Hey SirJambon!😉

[@ggspikey4170]

Grayson mountford It isn't the whole of the London underground (it's just the circle line), the game is old and only has one old train. Although I would recommend it, it didn't live up to my expectations.

[@ASBlueful]

93% bracking power is a bit too much! xD

[@jackielittlewood2732]

that bar was the desil gage

[@patrickmusson4571]

That gauge in the middle is an altimeter, I think.

[@matthewskidmore2397]

There's a youtuber named PTGRail who did an in depth video of the German signalling system.

[@jaimen2310]

The dude that is skinny just needs a snickers so he can be himself again.

[@dylancalheta6219]

The task manager shows different times than the game was showing you on the bottom of the screen.

[@djmudi-xoxo3094]

Hi squirrel I love your euro truck and train simulator gaming

[@PepsiPunisher]

You're right. These seats are not very comfortable, but if you travel less than an hour which will happen the majority of times in these small RE trains it's okay. I always enjoy your pronunciation of the German city names :D Keep going Paul! :)

[@Mjdeadman21]

you managed to stop at every station and they still give you silver blasphamey but still GG

[@DenHvideHund]

Jezzz...pay more attention to driving, than looking around

[@coinman1972]

I may have missed it. Is the train equipped with a sander?

[@mrvontrips]

coinman1972 yup

[@nathangordon830]

How did you enable the notifications (eg. speeding, time bonuses), and the game-play runs smoothly?

[@anglosaxon5874]

The green number is warning you of the speed change approaching. The metre bar is the distance to the start of the speed. Actual speed limit [where you are now] is under the speed you are doing [in white]. Bahnsteig = platform. The 8 [in the black upside-down triangle] = 80km/h, 12 = 120km/h etc. Depending on the colour is if it is actual or a warning before it starts.Yellow = warning and white = start. You went round a curve that's why it was 120...then on a straight 160km/h. You don't want to derail it do you? lol Don't forget 100mph = 160km/h. The black letter H on a white background [on the platform] = Halt...where you should stop. Good video but I wouldn't employ you as a driver! lol

[@ondrasek06]

12:34 cut?

[@baileyrobertson9858]

Keep bringing the awesome vids squirrel

[@jonkess2768]

On the right you see the next Speed Change the LZB shows you in the beginning it was 140 and the distance in the mid is youre distance from the speed change

[@jonkess2768]

But driving an Rb LZB is not quite useful or required :D

[@jonkess2768]

Ask Dad Google for LZB

[@jonkess2768]

And the Game was correct in the Moment The LZB gave you an Speed Change at the first Signal and after that the "normal" 80 came in pls search for LZB

[@c11he08]

really enjoyed video this!!!

[@dennisblokx4924]

The green meter in braking distons

[@DominicLondon]

German and Swiss trains among others are really quiet. It's possible for the train to stop and then start at a station without you even noticing. You can actually have a relaxed conversation unlike on the London Underground.

[@CrusherUK2013]

Dominic London I had an apartment quit close (about 200yds) to the S6 line in Munich and didn't even hear one.

[@niklasbracher1471]

I live in Karlsruhe.

[@paulmurray4869]

i realy enjoyed this thank you

[@predstoric]

Great video squirrel keep up the good work

[@johnschroeder6288]

Why does the anemic passenger look suspiciously like the train driver? hmm...

[@dominikd72]

Die Gute alte Deutsche Bahn! By the way very nice Video!

[@ebinherr7464]

what is your old intro music i have been trying to find it for a long time but I can not

[@Electricfox]

Very nice. In regards to braking points, in reality, at least on the British networks, it's usually down to route knowledge. Drivers tend to make mental notes of landmarks next to the track so they know when to start braking.

[@DominicLondon]

Electricfox And I'm guessing at underground stations there'd be a marker.

[@Electricfox]

Most of the deep level underground trains are computer operated now, the driver just presses a 'Go' button and the train drives itself to the next station, those that aren't rely a fair bit on the good brakes that the trains have and seeing the station lights XD That and you're usually not going faster than 40-50mph, so the braking distance is lower than overground trains.

[@edwin4504]

Electricfox computer train automation.

[@bluemike52]

What were you taking when you made this video? Whatever it was I want some...... Great video.

[@stevenlally8539]

The countdown indicator could probably be showing the distance where you should start full braking to get down to the new speed limit without speeding. Just a thought, since the countdown went to 0 when you got down to the new speed limit

[@TheLaRiche]

You forgot to use LZB (CTRL + NUM +) & PZB (CTRL + NUM ENTER)

[@airbornegr4815]

yeah!!! Train Sim again :D

[@ASBlueful]

It's pronounced "Car-lz-roo-eh" xD Nice video btw! ;)

[@joshuaeubanks1445]

Really good stream!

[@rcsdpoliceclan9659]

love ur vids squirrel keep up the great work :)

[@robbiegrill1506]

Do more Amtrak routes

[@JMartinni]

You just walk on the platform and get your ticket at the ticket machine somewhere on there, yes. Sadly not free. =p

[@joshuaeubanks1445]

Nice train LOL

[@CrazyCarl432]

It's klicks boss

[@jaksims]

"Doesn't feel like 60" - Its 60Km/h , its slow :p

[@onwheels2564]

Nice :) Thanks for sharing

[@pokedmondude]

11:20 that guy is suicidal

[@bervinhedman5406]

11 mins 25 secs . I couldn't stop laughing

[@mrenigma7543]

Can u drive all the the trains in train simulator?

[@cars101ify]

What if they unexpectedly waved back, that would be weird

[@tobiasberlin837]

it's pronounced "karlsruh" ... and you are driving from Karlsruhe to Mannheim. the first station is Karlsruhe station. nice ride btw.

[@gpinho77]

Nice video. I miss the Flight simulation ones though :/

[@shadiseraji933]

In Frankfurt, these trains are S-Bahn trains

[@CrusherUK2013]

Shadi Aghili I thought the Strassenbahn trains were a smaller version, given that they have negotiate some narrow streets? At least in Munich they were smaller.

[@beta199355]

+Crusher “CrusherUK2013” UK2013 S-Bahn and Strassenbahn are different S-Bahn is suburban train and Strassenbahn is tram

[@canmau333]

Similar, but no. In Frankfurt, S-Bahn trains are the similar BR 423 whilst the BR 425 is occasionally used on services to Wurzburg and Hanau, I live there
