Train Sim World - Route Learning: WSR Minehead to Bishops Lydeard (Class 47) // 60fps

[@bmbpdk]

The amount of work and knowledge required to make these videoes just stuns me! And your voice and volume is just spot on, really plesent to listen to! All the best of luck in the future sir!

[@PTGRail]

Thanks Brian, I really appreciate it! I’m glad that you like the volume and the way my voice sounds. I think the new microphone I bought recently helps with that!

[@PTGRail]

A couple of quick points related to this video: 1. I attempted to record the video in 60fps, as I can average about 60fps when driving. However, when recording, it seems the average was between 45-60fps, which means the frame rate can appear slightly jarring at times. 2. At the end of the video, I mentioned a Class 08 shunter, when I should have said a Class 09 shunter. 3. As with the Medway Valley route, I provided all the information on crossing names that was available to me, but you will notice a number of crossings which were not labelled as there were no names for them in the track atlas. 4. I didn't forget to activate the AWS, I just didn't realise there were two switches for it! It's not quite so important on this route anyway, as most preserved railways have no such thing as AWS. Finally, I hope you enjoy watching this video! :)

By the way to measuring weight, metric tons, it is called kilograms, so use the word kilograms, tones are the imperial

[@PTGRail]

1000kg = 1 Tonne. That’s the correct term. :)

[@jrhall8970]

Wow I didn’t know that, thanks 😀

[@newforestroadwarrior]

An English imperial ton is 2240 pounds (approximately 1016kg) whereas a US ton is 2000lb (approximately 916kg). If (or perhaps when) confusion may occur, they should be referred to as the long ton and short ton respectively. This can become very relevant if you are importing anything to Europe or China from the States. Speaking from experience, importing into China is notoriously hard work (especially dealing with politically-appointed local officials with no apparent education): one of their favorite tricks is to stop shipments on the basis that the weight is incorrect.

[@reececollins916]

Are you American or English

[@Lolasdad4312]

Your knowledge,commitment and enthusiasm on your channel really does blow me away. Thank you Sir Pete 👍

[@James.Cumberland]

my granddad was a class 47 diver in the early 60's and i showed him this video and he said "i haven't seen the cab of a 47 in 52 years" - John Cumberland,1st June 2018 (when he died)

[@mavizs]

That’s really nice 👍and I’m sorry about your uncle

[@Nitfluad]

I really like the steady growl that the locomotive is making.

[@chrismaley512]

Very good video as always Pete. This route is beautifully rendered, I think it is the best one on TSW so far.

[@PTGRail]

Thanks, Chris. I agree with you, it’s quite a stunning route!

[@kevboy1657]

What an absolute warmer!! The highest dosage of geekiness ever heard .....take a holiday champ

[@nasfg2329]

Great video as always, and the visuals on this particular route really are something to behold!

[@PTGRail]

Thanks! I definitely agree on that one.

[@warrencrosby2620]

To access the last station on the line do any trains go down to it? I ran on foot to that station to complete the poster collection.

[@idrm1988]

Before I watch, glad to see this route, myself and my brother were taken on this route many times by our grandparents as we grew up so this will bring back some nice memories!

[@PTGRail]

I hope it did bring back those nice memories for you! :)

[@chrisacworth]

Yea it is one of my fave route as well i have drive the train. I am pretty sure the aws works on that train

[@striderpaul]

Great video as always Pete, thank you. DTG have done an excellent job of the route but alas its let down by the smoothest track in the world or fantastic suspension. The noise insulation is very good as well! Hopefully they will sort this out in the very near future, they got it right in Train Simulator but for some reason forgot to add it to TSW. Looking forward to more of your videos in the future.

[@PTGRail]

Thank you, Paul. Much appreciated. The route really does look gorgeous. There’s definitely a few things that need changing and fixing up, but with this release, I’m excited to see the future of TSW.

[@Owencr905]

Wow thank you so much! Your a very good person to watch

[@ste2577]

Such a pretty game this, im still leaning towards TS20×× as i feel the functionality of the locos and sounds/Locos through AP etc add much more immersion, i am looking forward to watching TSW progress though 😀 great video, good to see you back

[@PTGRail]

I agree with you on all points there! And thanks, it’s great to be back :)

[@YTNoharaHiroshi]

Thank you for your nice TSW video.

[@PTGRail]

Thanks Hiroshi! :)

[@marksmith566]

Great video and your narration is brilliant, this is my favourite heritage line and try and visit every year (next visit July) my favourite station is Blue Anchor because it’s so quaint and peaceful but I don’t recall the caravans being in situated where they are in the sim.

[@PTGRail]

Thank you, Mark. I really appreciate it! I’ve not visited the WSR before but would love to this summer if I can. I just checked satellite images on Google maps, and it appears the mobile home park is located there in reality.

[@simonrichardson5077]

Nice work,thanks

[@mrtrainexpert327]

I like the calling stations shot

[@PTGRail]

Thanks. That’s a new idea I had recently; think it makes things a bit more interesting. :)

[@lynnmorton7544]

Bishop's Leotard isn't the end of the line. It goes all of the way to Shrewsbury

[@alexandsilex]

Very good video thanks ! I’ll give TSW a shot during some sales.

[@Jarmy05]

I love your videos

[@PTGRail]

Thanks man! :)

[@RezdyTofan]

Nice video Peter.

[@PTGRail]

Thank you :)

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

U always have good small talk on your routes about trips - childhood memories - i was wondering has there ever been a time were u were on a train and the bad weather (affording you no scenery to look at as you say you like) forced you to focus more on what was happening on board and in doing so did you/have you found some amazing people you have met while sitting in your seat or at the trains restaurant and or bar??? Maybey people that have suck with you?? or conversations thta have stuck with you????

[@TheArkamedBat]

I prefer this loco trains more than a MISTAKE known as the Pacer

[@cmdrflint9115]

I've been very pleasantly surprised by the performance improvements both this and the previous DLC (New York). With the initial launch of TSW and subsequently GWE, I really struggled to maintain 60fps even when dropping to 1080p, the newer DLCs seem to have introduced some significant performance improvements, 4k@60fps is now more than achievable on my modest system.... Now I just need to stop looking at the beautiful scenery and pay attention to driving!

[@PTGRail]

Agreed! I was surprised at how well this route performs compared to Heavy Haul and Great Western. I don’t have a 4K screen, so can’t test it at such high resolutions yet.

[@CoastwayWill]

The videos are great but make sure you don't run out of things to upload if you want to go daily for the summer!

[@PTGRail]

Even if I made a video every day for the rest of the year, I'd probably still be able to find things to record! :p

[@thessalonician]

Great work as usual mate! I have a couple of questions though: I keep having the icons turned on in order to see the speed limit and the distance of the stations. How do you remember all the speed limits? Do you memorise these? Apart from that, say in GWR when you are travelling with 125mph am I the only one that I find it impossible to spot and read the speed limits on the signs? How is done in real life?

[@PTGRail]

I first drive with the HUD on to learn the route, making notes on the landmarks, speed changes, braking points etc. Then drive the route again with the HUD off to perfect my driving. Then finally drive the route a third time to do the recording! In real life, the driver would know exactly where the speed signs are, even if they’re difficult to read.

[@thessalonician]

I thought so! Thanks for your reply. It's impressive though to memorise in real life all these for a route. In the meanwhile I'm about to run the WSR for the first time. Enjoy the bank holiday mate.

[@nigeljones1969]

Ive never reached Bishop's Lydeard as it's always crashed as I leave the second to last station

[@votpavel]

i find sand patch grade is kinda average of a route,i think those mountains on each side make that route cramped in,can you tell me is it possible to drive all locomotives on each map or only the onces that come with that dlc?

[@keithreilly9777]

How do you couple to formation?

[@ArmbarArcade]

Great work as usual! As someone who's played a fair bit of TS2018 but never touched TSW yet, what are the main differences between the two? I love the look of the graphics engine for TSW, looks much more crisp and smooth than TS2018. :)

[@PTGRail]

TSW looks better, but so far has far less content available, and I feel it’s not as immersive. Nor is it currently customisable in any way, unlike TS. I currently prefer TS because I can do so much more with it, but look forward to seeing where the TSW project goes.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

Editors are in the works for TSW. As far as content goes, more and more is being created. TSW is still new.

[@callumhaynes3293]

Yeah you got to think that TS2018 was once TSW. Those will know when they had Kuju Rail Simulator ;)

[@DilsonAbraham]

Hello Peter - Would be great if you could share the info on what you use to capture game play videos? Would like to try my hand at that.

[@PTGRail]

Hey man, I currently record the game using FRAPS, and capture the commentary audio separately using Audacity.

[@Northlander74]

Where do you see speed restrictions so you can judge your braking? By the time you see the yellow speed posts it's too late. Is it just the case of learning the route with the HUD? 🤔

[@PTGRail]

Yep! You have to first learn the route, and the HUD is a great tutorial for that :)

[@nothisispatrick5725]

I Love this video

[@MarceloBrizuelaWPG]

Great video... So professional... Good job I'm subscribed to your channel few days ago and now I'm gonna start to watch your previous videos for improve my skills on #TrainSimWorld and #TrainSimulator2018

[@PTGRail]

Thank you for the subscription, it's much appreciated! I recommend checking out my signalling guides, or possible a route or train guide for something a bit different. Other than that, I hope you enjoy my channel :)

[@BloterGaming]

Awesome video as always though. . :D

[@BloterGaming]

Why does this game 'feel' laggy even with 60 fps ?

[@johncoombes5461]

How do you know the upcoming speed limits etc without any interface? . Is that just really good knowledge of the route! Or is there a guide im missing somewhere? Really liked the video its the first of yours iv seen and will be checking out more. I

[@davidsweeney111]

Hi, have you finished your BA Philosophy degree?

[@PTGRail]

I handed in my dissertations just over a week ago. Now it’s the long wait to find out the results.

[@davidsweeney111]

Good luck!

[@newforestroadwarrior]

Best of luck with it.

[@Gordons1888]

While in minehead watch out for “hilter” and his “bonsontraton bamps”

[@ssbohio]

Lol... Taunton is historically a part of Minehead, you know. montypython.fandom.com/wiki/Mr_Hilter_and_the_North_Minehead_by-election

[@chrishines6048]

Minehead does really look like that and the reason why I know that is because I been there in real life and I been to the station that you just left

[@jetteraismabash4186]

can someone make a video where drive the route before it was a heritage like going above 25mph

[@ethmister]

Wow they even named the class 47 the correct name, 'North Star'. The train in the real world is that livery.

[@ethmister]

The scenery of the stations is good. The track look empty as a lake lf wagons either side and in any sidings. The last part in to Bishops should be heavily forested.

[@TheArkamedBat]

The loco had the Headcode wrong

[@DuckGalaxy]

Watchet used to have a paper mill that my dad used to work at but they closed it because of new health and safety stuff and how much it'll cost to redo everything but it was more than a hundred years old and they used the harbour and the railway to export the paper".

[@tobyjbg]

Love the vidio and i have seen north star in real if at worchester station

[@vickierichards8474]

41:52 DAT HORN BOII

[@mikeytrains1]

Only one issue with this one.. You thrash... But no clag...

[@memeulousdad941]

Is spending the money for this game worth it? Thinking on getting it...

[@PTGRail]

I think it could be, depending what you are looking for. This route in particular I would say is worth the money.

[@nigeljones1969]

Great video.. I'm a complete novice on this game so any help will be really appreciated

[@HexAyed]

The biggest let down of TSW is how quite everything is

[@PTGRail]

I agree on that. I’ve got to crank my speakers right up to hear everything properly!

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

If you go into the files, you can increase the volume.

[@C1dagoat491]

ooh i got a 4790 not the k tho

[@TheArkamedBat]

1:05:44 I am a Pacer Hater

[@zoraeggs9177]

You actually sound like a train conductor lol

[@razalom66]

My main disappointment with TSW is the length of the routes and the lack of good missions like you get in TS20**

[@votpavel]

razalom66 im thinking of trying ts 2018,can you drive different locomotives on different routes in that one?

[@akarouge]

_dRiVe ThE GRoNkS_

[@Claire-ue2oe]

Did anyone realise he didn’t open the window

[@ssbohio]

I thought I saw him open the cab windows right at the beginning.

[@akarouge]

Also that's not a 08, it's a 09

[@PTGRail]

I know. I already said that in my pinned comment at the top ;)

[@AdamWebb1982]

This game (TSW) is so buggy still :( GWR had most of the bugs you mentioned and haven't fixed them!

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

They have fixed many bugs already!

[@AdamWebb1982]

Anthony Pecoraro still loads... and as said they are even in this addon now

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

Adam Webb What are you talking about?

[@AdamWebb1982]

all the bugs in the game... they were in GWR and now they are in this DLC...

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

Adam Webb They had recently fixed the issue where the brake hoses got stretched out. They also did a lot of optimizations.

[@reececollins916]

Stoh-gum-bur

[@kevingraham3161]

Great video but the 47's physics are rubbish, needs to be sorted. When you leave the stations not one exhaust sound when you leave, just watch Alan Thompson's video, says it all.

[@PTGRail]

I know Alan is disappointed with this release, and yes some improvements need making, but I think this was actually a very good release from DTG. I don’t fully agree with Alan on this one.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

I heard the the physics are good! It feels very realistic from what I've heard.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

DTG just improved the diesel-electric physics.
