Yes, I know I called this video 'East Coast', when it is in fact 'GNER', It alliterated with 'Electras' ok? :P

[@danthefryingpan963]

The 91 is a really beautiful train. One of my favourites.

[@edwardmortimer2150]

Agreed

[@KermMartian]

In which I yell "Q! Q! Q!" at my computer as you go through New Barnet with the camera outside of the cab. I'm sure my coworkers think I'm crazy. Another great video!

[@Moleman978]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it xD

[@finsanimations3778]

You got me to play TS2017

[@KermMartian]

Who, me? Or Moleman978?

[@helenlunn3829]

The Enhancement pack is so good, it even includes flashes from the electric wires!

[@SearleD01]

Armstrong Powerhouse have been putting out some incredible packs lately, never a better time to be a train fan.

[@cdsmrailaviation1099]

Nice video! Just a little tip though, you always have to put the reverser to neutral whilst stopped at a platform in the 91!

[@DENPTrains]

The first Moleman video I ever watched...certainly wasn't my last!

[@mrtransportguy8824]

One may say "To many screenshots" but Moleman says "To little screenshots"

[@danbob2109]

Or even too few screenshots ;)

[@cookoo4cocopuffs221]

The GNER livery looks amazing on any train. The 91, 390 (Pendalino) and the HST in particular

[@samuelcullerton733]

i use to see these at my local train station and its so nostalgic to see this

[@Fookracists]

Love you're vids bruh, you're commentary is brilliant hah keep it up!

[@TheAmir259]

If I'm not mistaken, Knebworth is the station Matt Peddlesden missed to stop at, and his influence is great, that's why the TS community had that "Knebworth" thingy. Oh and Matt does tons of TS videos anyway, and is currently, if I'm not mistaken, part of DTG, developing TSW

[@ckukmale898]

Love the GNER livery. And good for you for reminding about the leased Class Eurostar stock as remember going with GNER once on the White Rose from Kings Cross to Leeds and I went on one of those Eurostar trains.

[@robloxboi3108]

13:01 no, HST’s don’t normally stop at new Barnet. I know this because I travel on the ecml a lot.

[@TheSpotify95]

37:10 Flashing green = 140mph / 225 kph; Green = 125mph / 201 kph; Double yellow > Single Yellow > Red (stop) I believe that was how they planned it but they switched to in cab signalling as a requirement for >125 / 201

[@robertmorgan4888]

Third rail is DC so there is no need for neutral sections as the substations are closer together. Third rail also runs at a lower voltage

[@Class380Fan]

Great video. I own the train myself on Train Simulator and AP have done a great job!

[@Moleman978]

They have indeed! Thanks :)

[@thepantsclub6348]

you are my favourite youtuber!!!

[@TheRagingWookie]

agreed :)

[@rowangwrfan3228]

He's a funny KZbinr moleman978

[@minecraftloverofficial1690]

Could u do a vid on ur channel on how to install this ??

[@PendennisCastle]

Very nice! I have the Class 91 in this livery on Trainz 12, only that one livery unfortunately, this game also only includes one livery too (IC Swallow), but when i get this pack at christmas, i will be able to have 8 more additional liveries without the Intercity Swallow logo still showing on the DVT. Would of been cool if AP added both Flying Scotsman liveries and both Word War liveries to this pack as well. :)

[@ZiggyShadowDust08]

Passenger view is stock with the original Steam pack. AP didn't do anything to it. Also as a big Robbie Williams, I previously always associated Knebworth with his big 2003 live shows. And one time on Top Gear, James May test drove the FAB1 from the Thunderbirds film in Knebworth.

[@adrianprice5724]

Another very entertaining video and I'll be having the AP pack as soon as I get paid! I've got a 4k monitor, and TS runs pretty well at 30 or so fps (with the usual stutter). It's fine for the most part but the problem is that on memory-intensive, newer routes like Chatham and South London, unless you knock the settings down to high, the game goes over 4Gb total memory usage and crashes - afaik that's because it's a 32-bit engine. It's especially tricky if you're playing AP scenarios. It does really help with signals and signage though, certainly a big difference from my old 1360x768 monitor. By contrast FSX works a treat in 4k, looks great and runs well.

[@finleyrood9933]

The service Armstrong have based this scenario on stops at Stevenage, Peterborough, Doncaster, Wakefield westgate and Leeds

[@hobquestion3480]

If the put the 313 PEP's in VTEC livery would they be the closest thing to Pepsi in TS?

[@fringestalin6263]

The Class 91 speed record was actually 161.7mph in 1989, so while it was the fastest locomotive on the rail network, the APT-E just about it held onto the general record at 162mph in 1979. Eurostar broke both these records with locomotive and general speed in 2003 at 208mph. There's your facts for the video Moleman :)

[@Moleman978]

I can never remember these things whilst recording :P Thanks!

[@emmanuellucas3861]

Thats fun, Thats fun indeed...

[@josefw.1934]

Jordi Blumberg was actually the hero that brought the Virgin livery for the pack

[@danthefryingpan963]

If Moleman was the notifier for the stations. "This is.. Stevenage! Stevenage! Stevenage! Stevenage! Stevenage!"

[@tobysummers471]

another thing for this route that it needs is the class 89 in gner livery as in the late 90s gner ran out of locos and fixed up the 89

[@joshuarandazzo7335]

Hi moleman978 what do you think about the XPT in Australia? its just like the intercity 125 but only has a max speed of 160km/h(100mph) it also has different headlights and horn.. On a test run to Albury on 18 September 1992 the XPT reached 193 km/h between Table Top and Yerong Creek.

[@Tez_Thorn1405]

pre 2007 mate thats the year GNER finished round about mid December 2007 then National Express took over then East Coast and now Virgin Trains

[@TransportCambs]

I have been in the cab of 91 before and a Alstom logo is missing where the AWS Set/Reset button is.

[@Moleman978]

That's probably because DTG, who made the train, aren't allowed to put the logo there, probably not licensed (Alstom themselves could quite easily say no, and they are within their full right to do that). AP, as far as I can tell, haven't done any cab work to the loco and as such, it wasn't added then either.

[@TransportCambs]

Anyway I HAVE to buy it because of the new VTEC livery! AWESOME KZbinR EVER!

[@hobquestion3480]

Yes! The GNER bantererererererer! The horns kinda remind me of the 90 horn. Also, what is your favourite NSE train in TS? Mine is the 415.

[@funnycat5471]

I watched this on my phone and made pictures of it I love it

[@mrtransportguy8824]

Lovely video Moleman!

[@Trainspotter11_]

Awesome Video Their. all of your train simulator vids are fantastic :)

[@XPTV233]

1D39 LKX - LDS Calling at Stevenage, Petebrough, Grantham, Retford, Doncaster, Wakefield Westgate, Leeds (and/or Bradford Forster Square/Skipton)

[@nobledeluxgamer4633]

Will there be thameslink through blackfris station in train simulator

[@TheAmir259]

It would be very nice if DTG could feature a full, 393-mile long ECML as opposed to having just the KGX-PBO route. Sadly however, no computer would be able to handle the loads of sceneries and contents along the 393-mile long route. Fun fact, the PBO is 76.5 miles away from KGX, the High Speed 1 is 67 miles in total, from STP to , and adds just around 20 or less miles to reach DVP, so why would the devs not extend the HS1 down to AFK and go further to DVP?

[@albiegamingvideos]

Some PCs could handle it, it's just the game is shit.

[@TheAmir259]

+superalbs Moleman's computer could handle a 119-mile GWML route, and T:ANE had the 393-mile long route, so I'd take it back. Well so that means they could actually make a route from STP to XFF, traversing through the Channel Tunnel! I remembered this one guy that originally made the Channel Tunnel, but then extended it further to STP & Lille Europe. It means that it is actually possible make a line of that length. Sadly though, controversies arises, despite the pack being approved by Eurotunnel, did not get released. In conclusion, it actually mean DTG sucks, for not doing long routes like these. Sadly however, some other simulator game devs sucks too, like N3V (Trainz) and SCS (ETS2 & ATS), in some aspects.

[@jacketherington7932]

+Moleman978 why has the virgin livery been taken off ?

[@BVERailer]

Can you please do a video of Miami to West Palm Beach with the F40PHL-2?

[@BVERailer]

Brendan Millea Hi

[@scotlandspottergaming8175]

can you a east cost or a virgin east cost livry for the class 91

[@EM81YT]

54:38 the 91 on the up line has my cities name on it

[@terrier_productions]

But which one..

[@Cactuspowerhousey]

I am looking at buying train sim If I get the 91 can I make my own scenarios or is there timetable mode?

[@TrackerMusic70]

0:00 Pantograph be like "OH WAIT I NEED TO BE UP"

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

The 91s are really nice locos i hope some get preserved when the 800/1s come as they are too good to scrap and they still have loads of life left in them and also the speed record for these is 161.7 MPH as you mentioned they could do more than 140

[@Moleman978]

You say they have loads of life left in them, but they are reaching the age that the designers built them for. If nowhere else needs them, I have a feeling they'll start to go. But yes, preservation is a must, especially for the UK's fastest locomotive!

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

I see i wasnt aware of that but for a near 30 year old design they have done really well they were the last BREL designed loco i think correct me if im wrong although Alstom also did the Mk4s i think again correct me if im wrong

[@albiegamingvideos]

Class 91s actually don't have much time left, as they are pretty worn out in terms of equipment and technology. Mk4s on the other hand may have quite the future if they can find a placement! The Class 91s have been earmarked as testing the Mk5s, but maybe they could be a stand in until the proper 125mph locos come on in. Until they arrive, it's Class 68 haulage at 100mph.

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

The Mk4s still look very modern for an 80s design they will definitely get used somewhere and VTEC are apparently keeping some 225s for more Edinburgh services

[@insekt8623]

in India an similar engine (wap) pulls 20(approx) coaches @ avg 120kph without these coaches it can do 200kph I think

[@JheoFaul66709]

Great video, must get that 91 pack!

[@abhinavkuchipudi8332]

can you do a run to London to Faversham in class 91 on the highspeed line

[@MichaelAScott124]

Fantastic video. Well done.

[@jadenwarnel8433]

Anything to do with WCML in the near future Mr Moleman?

[@Moleman978]

I might do one day, just has the unfortunate setback of having quite lengthy scenarios. Hopefully an APT will come to TS one day and reduce the journey times xD

[@jadenwarnel8433]

Moleman978 ok, thanks

[@elliottjones9781]

How do you pause it like he does when ss

[@masterchiefjr5093]

how do you paws it

[@nathanhuxley8603]

didnt virgin pendolino get built before eurostar?

[@Moleman978]

Nope, Class 390 Pendolino was introduced onto the WCML in 2002, where as the Class 373 began Eurostar services in 1994, and were also used on the ECML between 2000 and 2005

[@minecraftloverofficial1690]

Could you do a vid on how to install this please ??????I do everything I need to do and it doesn't work !! Typical !!!!!

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

Ages ago, Steve Dark (DTG Steve) ran the APT over shap. I think he's developing it in his spare time or something.

[@Moleman978]

I remember that, trouble is it was so long ago. I'm waiting on a formal announcement before I get too excited, just in case it never happens.

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

yeah. Same here.

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

Also, which do you prefer: 313 or AP 91?

[@Moleman978]

Has to be the 313, but of course, I am biased for my love of the Class 508, very similar to the 313 in most respects :)

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

ok :)

[@trainspotter10_000]

can you do a video on the class 800 on virgin trains :)

[@PT197429]

Love the livery also use the class 91 with AP soundpack

[@AlexTrain5249]

You'd have to have an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition to do 4K in this hardcore of graphics I think.

[@46harry]

Molemam doesn't have a infinite amount of money

[@railwork2643]

Hi i'm an upcoming utuber and i've been watching ur vids a while i found you when watching crash compilations ;) anyways i'm wondering how to make the gui disappear when takings screenshots and go into free roam camera when pausing the game? Thanks in advance :)

[@Moleman978]

There is a link in the description of the video (every TS video) to help you

[@railwork2643]

Ok thanks :D

[@TransportCambs]

Fun fact: In 2022/2020 there should be a 4th line after Connington!

[@michaelhope8899]

I travelled on Eurostar from Leeds to London!

[@Moleman978]

You lucky human being :P

[@insekt8623]

i mean really the thumbnail is cool af! i thought it was ts world!!! how do u make this type of thumbnails? btw I too love this engine!

[@Moleman978]

It's a TS screenshot, with ever so slightly tweaked contrast levels etc. plus a vignette. I then cut out the foreground, give it a border line and blur the background. It is helped in this case by AP's TS lighting pack with gives everything a richer feel.

[@insekt8623]

Moleman978 wow!

[@rowangwrfan3228]

When is the next mole75 train simulator banter video

[@Moleman978]

No idea I'm afraid, Mr G75 and I are very busy people, and our spare time doesn't tend to match up often. Rest assured however, something is in the pipeline, but not ready yet to say much more :)

[@rnosibZ57]

Moleman978 Is this train diesel electric?

[@Moleman978]

No, just electric

[@rnosibZ57]

Moleman978 Wow you replied and also the reason I said this because it sounds like a diesel Electric Train to me and also is that AP'S Class91 Sound pack?

[@bigred5603]

+Moleman978 hi mole man please can you give me a shout out I have been watching you for ever - my username is Goldbox178

[@potatosoup5001]

The cab looks very modern a bit like the tgv

[@46harry]

It looks nothing like the TGV the class 91 was made in 1988.

[@pschlik]

So, moleman, you know that new SimuGraph thing? Well, that will make it a lot easier to make super locomotives. They will also be more "realistic", in theory. (UE4 is really nice.) Basically, that means I'll at least try to make everything DTG releases for TSW super-it's a lot harder to do this stuff in TS17 with messy XML files and the LUA scripts messing with physics...

[@Moleman978]

It'll be interesting to see how SimuGraph turns out, and I cannot wait for more super trains xD

[@albiegamingvideos]

Unless the dev tools are crap, then it's harder. XMLs in TS are easy to work with, I can read them easily. :P Also, you don't need to touch LUA files, or XML for that matter, you just change values in the DCSV files.

[@pschlik]

The dev tool is UE4-and like I said, UE4 is really nice. If you paid attention to the video, you could see that they started from nothing and created the drivetrain of a DMU-XML is pointless to try starting fresh from. And don't tell me how to mod these files, I know all this stuff, and LUA files can mess with physics making the DCSV files not work as intended... (ALP45DP for you) And if you like reading hundreds of lines of then have fun living in the past.

[@TransportCambs]

Fun fact:Did you know ALL GNER trains carried names?

[@EM81YT]

Every time I start a scenario with the AP 91 it keeps saying "an error occurred trying to load this scenario" anyone get advice?

[@jacobiscool144]

EthanRBLXGamer Do the saving trick

[@alfiehnotts]

Basically it means you haven’t got the requirements necessary for the scenario

[@ryanmckinley6651]

can you do a video on the class 142 plz

[@46harry]

Nobody likes pacers..

[@insekt8623]

pls show ur graphics settings pls:)

[@cameronmabey9282]

Can u do the Virgin Trains livery next plz

[@kyleTQ]

Can somebody tell me where you can get a GNER HST Skin

[@Moleman978]

Well, one comes with this enhancement pack

[@kyleTQ]

Ok thanks. Might get this then

[@agent_605]

So when you said each of your recordings are 1,000,000GB, that's means that you would need a 1PB (petabyte) hard drive. They don't exist, unless you have 250 4TB hard drives in raid

[@nomoreturkishpies8006]

I think he was joking ;D

[@agent_605]

Captain Jack I know, so was I

[@jacobwoods8738]

ECML Speed run-1 class 91 and 1 DVT and GO!!!

[@markburrows9793]

hi moleman I am a huge fan but have only just subscribed but have watched your videos for ages also when is your next video

[@juandavidurena6105]

but the 91 doesn't go as fast the Acela express here in america

[@Jiffy360]

Juan Urena The Acela goes 156 MPH, the IC225 has been measured going 148, but the Class 91 can go 161.

[@juandavidurena6105]

Ok and I thought the Acela express top speed is 150 mph and moleman978 said it can 140 mph

[@juandavidurena6105]

For the 91

[@juandavidurena6105]

Stingray Aviation Productions ok I'll look it up

[@juandavidurena6105]

Stingray Aviation Productions ok I looked It up and it's says 150 mph is the maximum

[@danbranch4571]

I live on the Riviera Line (Exeter to Paington)

[@f1stc47]

The ECML was made by Thompson.

[@Moleman978]

No it was not, sections of the ECML have been created by DTG, CreativeRail and JustTrains only.

[@f1stc47]

I'm sure Matt said that the ECML south was made by Thomson and that's why it was so long and so good.

[@Jiffy360]

Wait! Virgin has the ECML, so who has the WCML?

[@BeastyBill88]

I'm sure Virgin owns both. Its been a while since I was on either.

[@Mikekay1992]

Virgin still have the WCML too

[@LeoMartinDJ]

Oh jeez, welcome to earth buddy! Long time no see!

[@nutfield0013]

Even though Stagecoach owns the majority of the InterCity East Coast franchise I think Virgin has the hands on the East Coast whilst Stagecoach holds the East Midlands and South Western franchises

[@UnloosingLion]

HASHT#G There's Virgin Trains East Coast and there Virgin Trains

[@rmbro8947]

He was in the station because he was waiting for you

[@HamSweetHam25]

Bing bong.... the next station is STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE STEVANAGE change here for banter

[@CRGtrainspotter]

THE PACER pacers suck

[@CRGtrainspotter]

Moleman its stevanage peterborough gratham wakefield westgate and then leeds

[@SouthLondonRailwayPhotography]

Someone should create a 90+Mk4+DVT Consist like the new 91 replacement on the ECML

[@mak47HDTrains]

I hate MK4's, you can't window hang!

[@Moleman978]

Not being able to stick ones head of a train window is an infinitely good thing. Not a problem on single track heritage lines, but it should not be possible out on the main.

[@SouthLondonRailwayPhotography]

Moleman978 I do it on heritage railways and occasionally on the mainline on a Railtour but at slow speeds and on the side of the cess

[@minecraftloverofficial1690]

Could you please do a vid on how to install this, no one will listen to me !!!! I am so jealous !!!!!!

[@liyuelin997]

It is New Years Day XD but also Merry Christmas although it was over two weeks ;)

They go the same sped 125

[@robfcgaming1947]

Dark Blue, coincidence eh Moleman

[@unsub6363]

Great video

[@westcoastrail2667]

Speaking of the Eurostar, they're going to scrap the old 373 units soon. :'(

[@helenlunn3829]

West Coast Rail They're starting to scrap them now.

[@ankdoeslego9731]

West Coast Rail They're not being replaced. They're having a good refurbishment and being called the Eurostar e300, they will serve the core destinations.

[@cdsmrailaviation1099]

They are being replaced now, they sent the first unit off for scrap not too long ago

[@davida.678]

the 373 is being scrapped however,some will be kept in service but in new livery they had a good run with Eurostar GNER...

[@jacobiscool144]

Knebworth, Knebworth, KNEBWORTH!

[@b30233]

PLEASE HIT THE NEUTRAL SECTION AT FULL POWER I MUST KNOW WHAT IT DOES

[@albiegamingvideos]

In real-life, it gives a nasty joly, particularly noticeable on units.

[@LondonEmergency999]

It goes 162MPH

[@ayo3619]

can u do vergin east coast please darlington to kings cross

[@agent_605]

you do realise that this is in real time, and that would take most of a day to do, so I'd doubt he would do it

[@EM81YT]

Alasdair Clift Darlington to kings cross takes like 2 hours it’s only a twelfth of a day

[@agent_605]

EthanPlaysYT *2.5 Hours. And it’s 17% of a normal day, and it’s rather odd and would likely involve going at least as far as Newcastle or even Edinburgh, which is 3 or 4 hours, which is awkward to arrange especially around work shifts (and I imagine Moleman may have a job)

[@CRGtrainspotter]

Cristiano Ronaldo ur fake and u cant spell

[@GamerKyren]

do a speed run please looooooooooool
