[@Taffy064]

Hi Katie. Can't believe the relief driver that they paired me up with today! I had just pulled into the station, when he jumped onboard and immediately criticized my attire, which, by the way I was wearing because I was up at 7am, in the freezing cold putting together a consist of 300 metres of aviation fuel. He then proceeded to open MY window saying it was "stuffy" in the cab. I DO NOT have a problem with body odour, I am just trying to keep warm! He then criticises my parking. Just because I'm a woman and the break wasn't set just the way he likes it. When we got to Heigenbrucken he sarcastically told me to stay put while he does all of the work despite us both getting paid the same. Well let me tell you, I was not in the best of moods having been up so early. He did try joking around later on by messing with MY blind and having a joke about MY window, but I just gave him the silent treatment. When we finally arrived at our destination (which seemed like a lifetime, by the way), I heard him call me a miserable woman as he disembarked. WELL IS IT ANY WONDER! Anyway, enough about me. How is Michael and his personal problem.

[@arokh72]

Hi Taffy. Sounds like an English driver I know. I'm aware that the English can't drive locos compared to us Germans. This driver climbs on top of fuel tanks, near LIVE overhead wires. Is he trying to get himself killed? He just shoves his way through passengers waiting for the next passenger service, and even falls down between the train and platform as if he's 'betrunken'. Not only this, but when he gets in the cab, he can't even use the throttle and brake properly, trying to throttle up before the brakes have discharged and released. He constantly whinges about walking back a mere 300m to uncouple a banking loco. I believe he's been reported to DB HR. I hope it wasn't the same driver. Thank you for asking about Michael. He was able to secure a truck driving role recently. As for his "personal problem" he'll be having surgery for it in May. I hope David and the kids are doing well. Did Stephen get into Oxford? Love from Katie.

[@Taffy064]

@@arokh72Thanks Katie. I do believe that he was English. I am glad that you reported him to DB HR. I am sorry that Michaels antibiotics didn't work, but I suppose that surgery is the best answer in the long run, and it's fairly cheap nowadays to change his name to Michelle. David and the kids are doing very well thanks. They should be out of therapy very soon now after their holiday in France and the incident with the truck driving maniac. *** Steven ended up going to the university of Exeter doing some sort of "Ology" course. Lots of love, Cathy. ***Squirrel seventy tonne volvo part 2 24:00 - 26:00

[@SteveBrandon]

I want that freight train with the option of travelling from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Vancouver, British Columbia. At 1:1 speed. (Yeah, I know they probably wouldn't be able to make a map that big, at least not without a heckuva lot of procedural generated scenery.)

[@GWRProductions-kg9pt]

3:09 Paul 22.5 tons is the axle load, 23.8 is the wagon's weight when empty & the wagon's total weight loaded is 90

[@ЦветозарЦветков-е5о]

so 2250 tons total. thats a lot of weight

[@thezui]

Close, but not quite. 22550 kg is the empty wagon weight, 23,8t is the weight of the handbrake (braking force is measured in tons) The maximum freight tonnage is 67,4 tons. Added to the 22550kg is ~90 tons total weight :)

[@supersimon126]

7:50 Talk about sloppy and then you forget to take the reverser out of neutral :D

[@Beastlysimmer_uk]

Exactly what I was saying

[@MarbleMan-3218]

Hahaha ha

[@campia901]

Great to see you back. Last time we died on the 3rd rail and now the overheads ;)

[@KuntalGhosh]

Lol

[@yerolo]

[@thematts0743]

huge oof for that and is not the train picky is you didn't tell the system which direction and she will just not going to move

[@aswd45-mk14]

This is like when something does function. You troubleshoot everything just to find out the it wasn’t plug into the wall.

[@niklaspilot]

20:20 I was so not expecting to hear the "RETARD" but when you said it, it was just joyous since I was already hearing it in my head :D

[@josie9861]

The gradient on the cars (2.7%) means that the handbrake of the car will securely hold it up to a track gradient of 2.7%

[@BusterDescoperaRomania]

23 ton it s empty value. full weight its up to 90 ton . 22.5 ton per axle in general.

[@davidsalmon3986]

8:00 everyone is yelling at their screens!

[@WinterTM]

Did you see the new Derail Valley Overhauled trailer? It looks really awesome and I'm super excited!

[@SamHall76]

According to that signal at 36:15 you could have entered the siding with 100 km/h. Or it shows nonsense.

[@latviantrainy968]

He could but he knew that he had to stop so he braked early

[@daveslow84]

The 100 is in reference to the main line speed only. The signal should have shown green/yellow though for langsamfahrt I think? Such a fun game but I really wish little stuff like that would be fixed!

[@flyingturtle4313]

I'd love to see either a London Underground or a Iarnród Éireann(Irish Rail) addon in TSW. I feel like Ireland has been quite neglected in, well, all train sims. We have some beautiful routes here.

[@horizelux2212]

The Bakerloo line is coming!!

[@TwoHorizons02]

That 2.3 grade on the cars was what the handbrake is rated for btw

[@connorstohl6050]

The cars actually seem to be rater for a 2.7% bank in the tracks. I'm sure the cars can go up as much of a slope as you can pull them.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

Try exploring timetable mode. You can do several services in a continuous session.

[@elliesanders885]

13:30 The scenarios are designed to be story based, if you look at the Oakville Sub. Route that was released last year two of the scenarios link in together (Break it down and Equipment Move) that's the same period of time from Two perspectives. The great thing about Service mode is that its linked and you can drive from Say Ashafenburg to Gemunden jump out the train and get in another.

[@JensPlaner]

I did some quick maths (it wasnt really quick) and with todays kerosin prices of 0.453 USD/gallon the whole load of the train would cost 217,859.13 USD. As GWR Productions 2014 mentioned the total weight of a wagon when loaded is 90 tonnes. Also kerosin is dirt cheap at the moment. With the price from 7. January 2019 (1.7 USD/gallon) it would have costed 817,572.88 USD.

[@JensPlaner]

The whole calculation is: Numer of wagons: 22 Wagon total weight: 90 tonnes (metric) Wagon empty weight: 23,8 tonnes Wagon load weight: 66,2 tonnes Total load in kg: 1,456,400 kg Density kerosin: 0,8 kg/l Total load in liter: 1,820,500 l Gallon per liter: 0,26 gallons/liter Total load in gallons: 480,925.22 gallons Kerosin price (04/21/20): 0,45 USD/gallon Total price: 217,859.13 USD

[@thezui]

@@JensPlaner Very cool. Nice that you did the math. But ~217k USD isn't really that much. I would have expected much more But the Wagons can load 67,4 tons. That would be 1,482,800 kg of fuel.

[@TheRobo]

I think this is my favorite loco in TSW; between the great safety systems of PZB/Sifa, to the AFB for speed control, the fantastic performance and braking along with the powered brake...I love everything about this. Plus, the German signaling actually makes sense lol

[@RangerRiccardo]

You left the windows open, she probably didn't like that much either 😆

[@llloyd4]

When you mentioned FitBit I am reminded that someone said that FitBit is like a Tomagochi but the stupid creature we have to keep alive is ourselves. :D

[@OMGLOL381]

It's bring your daughter to work day.

[@TilmannB0710]

In this thing is TSW not so realistic, so how TS. This fright trains much time not go over 100 KM/h allow to drive. You can't stopp full trains with this speed. But TSW say, "Yes drive 120 KM/H" ;) "Or may be faster, why not?" ... Only empty fright cars drive with max 120 KM/h, stay also on the wagons on the side, how much they did can drive. Also how much can say take of goods, by what for a quality route. It make fun to drive this locomotive in real, too :) ... that was my first three-phase locomotive what I had drive at Germany from 2008. Have only drive diesel locomotives for shunting service :) and little drive on large routes. But for really drive that, must you do something more , then this game was told you :) ... And sorry for my English, my last school lessons are really long ago and I use English not really often for talk on Internet.

[@elliesanders885]

08:25 "It's very very picky about that" I mean you didn't have it in forward? Numpty?

[@ozsimmer6429]

Not much use for aviation fuel nowadays

[@ShazenVideos]

I did a quick math for you. If that's A1 aviation fuel, the worth of the load is around 258.720.000€, which is around $308.526.963 or 221.354.364£

[@MrRobertecas]

Great video Squirrel I love your train sim world videos they are so interesting and nice to see Germany keep up the great work

[@samhoran8738]

In the 26:30 I thought Squirrel said " Yeah No I am not driving a FRIDGE train LOL 😂😂

[@Streaky100001]

"About 23.8 ton" That's a very precise "about" lol! Loving the videos, keep it coming!

[@skoldmo762]

the unloading point for Arlanda is middle of nowhere and travels in pipeline to the airport but it works!

[@redcarguy]

a lot of Opel Insignias over there.. but all in white? I don't know.. i like your journeys!! Take care

[@wraith0127]

I think that 2.7% grade limit was for side grade maximum before the tanker car would rollover.

[@mikkdc]

So by the time you reach the destination you have had to run 1.6km just to couple and un couple the rear engine!

[@jamescerone]

Any opinions on anti-aliasing settings for this game? There's so many thin lines (fencing, electric wires, etc) that TXAA just kindof ruins the whole look, but TAA definitely makes things look a little blurry and dreamy. Has anyone done any more extensive testing with the in-game settings paired with graphics card settings?

[@FutureGPTranscoDriver]

I bet you one General Electric AC6000CW could pull that but EU trains and NA trains are very different here trains can weight as much or more than 15,000 (us) tons and can be miles long with hundreds of cars.

[@hillestadkringle]

That tractive effort gauge is just wrong. On the BR185 the scale for traction will go to 300KN, and the scale for braking will go to at least 150KN (or more depending on configuration).

[@sullybiker6520]

I haven't got to this one yet in my game, I'm still loving Cumberland. A 2% gradient is no joke; anything about 1.5 on a heavy train can result in squeaky bum time when you apply the brakes.

[@trainmanj]

This game needs to have a conductor simulated. Only in Europe would 25 cars be considered a long, heavy freight train. Let's see you do a 135 car coal train, with 200,000 pounds of coal on each, through the rocky mountains. After that, take a 300 car intermodal train with two 67,000 pound containers on each car. Train lengths are measured in miles, not just meters. Unfortunately, common US trains are rarely done in simulators.

[@thezui]

"Train lengths are measured in miles, not just meters." - Yes, and America is the only country that exists in this world 🤦‍♂️

[@susangoaway]

Unless they have changed something, pretty sure those 4-light diagonal signals are pre-signals and only have 2 greens and 2 yellows. 2 yellows mean the next one is red. 1 green and 1 yellow does not mean that the one after the next one is red, but that the next signal shows reduced speed, green-yellow on the bulky one. All three signaling systems are German, yes three. 2 are from West and East Germany, and the third one is the new one

[@ParamDeshpandepass123]

I would like to see an Indian rail style freight with 1 engine and almost 1km long

[@jordanb4559]

I was counting down in that voice even before you started to say it lol. “Approaching minimums”

[@BeezyKing99]

One thing i've found out about this game, if your banking comms isn't on, the rear loco just rides along as cargo, that's off by default when coupled with locomotives on either end.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

~25 cars x 22.5t per car x ~$450/t for aviation fuel = ~$250,000. Not a huge price tag, but definitely considerable.

[@Wheatley_Darwin]

That thing took off like a Tesla * Considering almost all electric motors that drive something are almost all torque and low speed (vice verca for generators) I wouldn’t be surprised if a real life electric locomotive did that

[@achafilms3968]

I am dreaming of italian routes for TSW. It would add for more variety in both landscape and train types. We now have mainly british/german/usa trains. For example in the ligurian zone, the route from Genova to La Spezia (cinque terre towns included) would be amazing . It is 80 kms of scenical wonders. if anyone did this, you know what i am talking about...

[@jasmienkomugi9026]

When he explains what Traxx means ÖBB Taurus be like: *Pulling railjet and freight trains over the Semmering with no issues*

[@jonasgutermuth7850]

The grandiont on the freight cars is the maximum slope for the handbrake. If you put the handbrake in a greater slope the car would be rolling.

[@pogump]

That is what a drivers view and the engine should look like,not some American rubbish sideway sitting on a chair looking out thru a small tiny window.

[@combatantezoteric2965]

Who else played trainz 2006 to 2012 or a new era?

[@trevlord6863]

My friends uncle runs a train here in America. When he inspects his train cars, he keeps a pit bike on his Loco and just rides it down the length of the train! Lol

[@hamhasmech5893]

i love how even the game makes me feel like the train is gonna go off the tracks when going high speed in the interior view

[@gsonz172]

Yeah the game simulates how your head is shaking. I turned it off on my PC because it was just way too much.

[@joshuathekingofsims]

hi, can you do some more job simulator as it was fun.

[@JaredRouse8465]

This is one of my favorite trains in Germany. They’re built by bombardier, if some of you guys didn’t know.

[@maximvglushko]

Can you please next do the Doppelstock Delivery on MSB and Heavy Metal on RSN w/ the 185.2, both engaging and challenging (w/ PZB) freight scenarios

[@Thorpe]

I love this route and using the right PZB modes. Can't wait for Train Sim World 2 in a few months (even though it's probably going to have teething problems).

[@insylem]

As far as I understand, in the US, they normally put a hopper with sand before the first tanker and after the last tanker as buffers.

[@MrFluteboy1980]

But would how quickly would you overheat a de2?? (Joke, different game i know)

[@Fat_Cat_Caravan]

The reason the train wasnt moving at the start is because you didn't put the reverser into forward, you had it in neutral.

[@dlh_a350xwb8]

The "Spessartlinie" is not the Ruhr-Sieg line. Two quite different parts of Germany.

[@truckerphil316]

hey come on you did put her window down and leave it down bet she is cold like your bed when you get home after your journey

[@darioabanera6460]

Squirrel, what's the better game, train sim world 2020 or train simulator 2017?

[@nicholaswhitfield9341]

Squirrel, The yellow in the tractive effort gauge may not mean it has energy reclamation (as in sending power back to the grid), it probably just means you're in dynamic braking, which judging by the loud fan sound when you're into heavy braking, the energy generated from that is just dissipated by a resistor grid with a cooling fan blowing across it. I assume that locomotive uses blended braking (though I don't know for sure) so that when you're in the brakes it automatically uses both the air brakes and the dynamic brakes, as opposed to having separate handles to control them independently. I don't know that for sure though.

[@hillestadkringle]

This loco has an electro-dymamic brake that delivers energy back to the grid. The energy you deliver back to the grid can be used by other trains on the same section of overhead wire.

[@martonbevardi2503]

Well you don't have to run that much as a driver. There are people at every station to do that for you in real life.

[@sine-nomine]

the haz-mat plate 30/1863 means: "fuel, aviation, turbine engine".

[@hanse81]

I don't get why driving trains in 2020 still got all this manual work. While computers got their way into most other modes of transports. Today you should not need to calculate when to brake according to how much cargo you're hauling at what incline etc. Computers would do that much better. There have been talks for years to make autonomous trucks, making trains autonomous should be a lot easier but I guess the gouvernment don't want to spend the cash as long as there needs to be a driver in the train anyway.

[@thezui]

"making trains autonomous should be a lot easier" - You can't compare autonomous trucks and autonomous trains. A truck doesn't need changes in infrastructure for the autonomous tech to take over. For a train, all the tracks would need to be retrofitted with new safety systems. That is over 33000km in Germany

[@AJL15N]

@Squirrel I'm sure you were right the first time...it's Airbus not Boeing :)

[@lexifillems]

21:56 You'll want the top pressure gauge on the right at nil, and bear in mind the whole train needs to release the brakes. ;) Nice video!

[@smokyblackeyes3615]

You know that the back can help you brake and accelerate that way you don't have to make a long vechice

[@Thekaiser2023]

Hey Squirrel, I don't know if you are aware, but if you go into Free Roam camera mode, you can uncouple through the camera and not have to leave the Front cab Locomotive. Its basically doing the same thing if you have gotten out. The center curser will light up on the coupler and you can disconnect. Try it sometime.

[@chibenchiben7121]

The point when his mic was cutting and uncutting when he was screaming heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee when he was trying to stop.

[@firefox0903]

I did the math on this it looks like he was hauling about $2.7 mil worth of fuel

[@Vampirspiegelei]

Ooh now that was interesting. Seeing something that is close to home. Although we haven't had snow like this for a couple of years now. Was a bit disappointed by the super silent breaks of the train though - if something that heavy breaks it is an infernal screeching :D Also the casual wear of the train driver is pretty accurate. Usually only conductors or the drivers of ICE and other fast trains wear uniforms.

[@ThStg]

I have this scenario on PS4. But, not done it YET!!! 😕 I'll eventually get around to doing it ONE DAY!!! 😃😁😊 in the not to distant future that is.

[@harmzegt8066]

The banker on that route would never couple, and pull back during the drive. After the pull back it stops and drives back down the route it came from. Only on downwards help it would be coupled.

[@keneagle7684]

Anyone else see the double greens half way along the train after he uncoupled the rear loco?

[@tm4609]

8:20 The train isn't picky, you just didn't have the reverser in forward 😂. I recommend PTGRail's German signalling tutorial if you'd like to learn more about it.

[@daviddryden8088]

"It's days like these that reminds you of why you became a train driver". Call me old fashion, but if I were pulling what amounts to a small nuclear explosion behind me, I'd rather do a more sensible speed. 70mph seems a bit excessive considering the payload.

[@elljones6159]

The Dual Function Signals, have certain meanings The Top aspect indicates the status of the "block" after that signal with the Diagonal signals being the equivalent of repeaters, they indicate the status of the 2nd "block" section ahead if they display 2 yellows, it indicates the 2nd signal ahead will be at danger, one green in top right and 1 yellow in bottom left indicates the 2nd signal ahead is clear, but with a speed restriction, with 2 greens indicating the 2nd signal ahead is clear :)
