Train Simulator 2015 - Route Guide: The Isle of Wight

[@elioboezio7107]

The BMW straddling two parking bays lends a lovely touch of realism...

[@PhilPage227]

Thank you, very informative. I used to travel behind the steam train from Ryde pier head to West Cowes as a child in the 50s and early 60s. Very happy memories.

[@Peripatetic45]

In addition to endorsing all the comments about your detailed research, I would like to compliment you on your diction. Great clarity and enunciation throughout.

[@PTGRail]

Peripatetic45 Thank you, I do my best to speak as clearly as I can :)

[@richardwood6376]

Wonderful.... I lived on the Isle of Wight for 24 years, ( leaving in December 2013 ), and now live in Thailand many miles away. I have travelled along this line many times and it was happy thoughts that came to mind when watching your computer film. First Class, thank you and I wish you well in the future. Richard.

[@PTGRail]

Richard Wood Thanks for your comment, I'm glad that you enjoyed this video! :)

[@jonathanferguson6050]

This, along with the Train Guide, is a great way to either learn more about DLC that you own, or to asses whether to buy DLC that you don't. Thank you very much!

[@neilfurby555]

Must have consumed a huge amount of research and effort. Superb work.

[@nigelfreeman6192]

Just need to clarify that the trains currently run every 20 and 40 mins and not every 30 mins. However when the I.O.W island Line gets the new refurbished D78 old London Underground stock and the crossover at Brading gets put back then the trains will run again every 30mins possible sometime in 2021.

[@Epic_DaVinci]

Another well produced, informative video. It's amazing how turbulent the history of the British railways is. Encore!

[@PTGRail]

Daniel Gregory Thanks Daniel! It took a lot of time and effort to put this together. I am definitely hoping to make more in the future :) I agree with you, and history fascinates me so I tried to include lots of it in this video :)

[@OEPNVInternational]

I absolutely love these kind of videos! It's always nice to learn something new! I'm also glad that I visited this route in March this year, even without the steam rail. Keep on doing that great work! Greetings from Germany

[@PTGRail]

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Glad that you enjoyed this video. This is a great little route, isn't it? :)

[@soleplate]

I don't usually comment but have to say I really enjoyed this. The effort and work that went into it is brilliant. The attention to detail is brilliant. Good work

[@DistrictDriver]

Brilliant! I can imagine the work which went into that video... Very well done!

[@PTGRail]

Thank you! It took many, many hours to get this right. From research to script writing, from recording the commentary and videos to editing it all together. I'm just happy that people are enjoying it. Again, many thanks! :)

[@Francis1930]

Cheers for this, brilliant, thanks for the history, really helps to understand the history of our railways!

[@PTGRail]

Francis1930 Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. There is so much fascinating history to our railways :)

[@darrenknock1437]

Really Brilliant Video and loved all the information makes me very proud to have been born on The Isle Of Wight :-)

[@PTGRail]

Darren Knock Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I've been to the Isle of Wight a couple of times and I really liked it :)

[@matthewavery850]

I'd like to see more of these vids. Thanks PTG.

[@TheWestAnglian]

very interesting pete, love your presentation and knowledge of this route!

[@PTGRail]

Kirkinstein Thanks! I didn't know it all before I started making this video. I just did a lot of research and wrote a script based on that :)

[@Karoti]

Well done Pete, very informative. Obviously a lot of research gone in to that.

[@PTGRail]

John Warren Thank you John! It took many hours of research and script writing to make this. I really appreciate it :)

[@tonylancaster8704]

Another great video and i will look forward to seeing more is this new series. Well done

[@PTGRail]

Tony Lancaster Thank you! :)

[@PhilPage227]

Brilliant. I travelled the Ryde Pierhead to Cowes behind a steam engine many times in the 50s and 60s.

[@ExtalGaming]

Really enjoyed this, well done! Learned a lot about the DLC, i'm going to subscribe for more of this ;)

[@PTGRail]

Extal Thanks! This is the first video I've made quite like this. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@siobhan28483]

Really enjoyed that. Great video! Look forward to seeing the others. :)

[@PTGRail]

siobhan28483 Thank you! :)

[@G5BTB5G]

That 0-6-0ST on the steam railway you used is the one of the locos actually based on the line Waggoner!

[@jdb1583]

Great video! Amazing series! Can't wait till next episode! Liked! :)

[@PTGRail]

JDB158 Thanks! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this video :)

[@berlinmitte10117]

Nice, informative video

[@100SteveB]

Great video, very much enjoyed watching. Just a shame that train simulator messed up with the locos on the steam railway. No sign of their Class 02 0-4-4-T W24 Calbourne, she's been running on the island lines since 1925, she is the only remaining member of her class to survive. She is the steam railways flag ship loco, closely followed by their pair of 0-6-0 Terriers - No W08 Freshwater, and W11 Newport. These 3 locos are the only locos that actually worked the island lines back in the steam days. Invincible and the Austerity tank locos never worked on the island in steam days. Such a shame that train simulator did not supply one of the original isle of wight locos with the route. Other than that they have done a great job, and your guide was very good to watch.

[@bigbuster1616]

Very informative, congratulations!

[@PTGRail]

Andrew Bustard Thank you Andrew! :)

[@Irena_Posner]

Cool vid, great presentation.

[@MrDreamliner]

I am loving this! Keep them comin' will ya?

[@PTGRail]

Josh Thorpe Thank you! There will be more in the not too distant future :)

[@darrenpurdiethesanctuaryga7587]

Fantastic video mate.

[@PTGRail]

+Darren Purdie Thank you! :)

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

It is a shame that places like Ventnor, Newport, Freshwater and the capital at Cowes are unserved these days :/ would be good to see a slightly expanded network built up again.

[@elljones6159]

loved the vid what other routes were you planning to do?

[@SeanCrabtree]

Amazing video as always

[@PTGRail]

Sean Crabtree Thanks Sean :)

[@johnambler3107]

Great video and very informative thank you.

[@mcbenman1793]

Very fascinating video. Thank you for sharing Is the train at 0:33 a part of the Isle of Wight pack

[@guitarhero883]

What a great imnformative video , well done.

[@guitarhero883]

***** informative i mean.

[@PTGRail]

***** Haha I knew what you meant. Thank you :)

[@SydneyTrainsFactsTrivia]

Loved this please do more.

[@PTGRail]

Sydney Trains Facts & Trivia Thank you! I will be making more of this and the train guides in the future. It's a very time consuming process though, so each video will take a while to make! :)

[@sammaclennan1875]

more of these vids are required pete

[@TheBVE]

Thanks for this video, but you did miss out a few things. Like how the trains got there from London. I know it's pretty obvious, but it is nice to have that bit of extra info. I still think this is a good vid however, and I look forward to more in the series.

[@PTGRail]

TSguy0100 I didn't think at the time. Never mind, I will try and bear that in mind for future route guide videos :) And thank you! :)

[@fringestalin6263]

A very informative and very interesting video, I look forward to seeing more of these in the future. If this was combined with the route learning videos, it would be like a Video125 cab ride wouldn't it? ;)

[@PTGRail]

Fringe Stalin Haha, it probably would be like a Video 125 cab ride! That was originally what I wanted to do on this channel, but I feel that splitting up the videos into route learning, train guide and route guide works best. I don't want to give people an information overload or make the route learning videos even longer than they already are lol :p Thanks for the comment and feedback :)

[@fringestalin6263]

PTGRail That was really you're original intention? I've been wanting to do something like that... now I feel like I'd be plagiarising :P

[@PTGRail]

Fringe Stalin Haha yes. When I started out I wanted something similar but not quite the same as what Video 125 do. It didn't work out that way, because of the way route learning videos are as such 'driver training videos'. So don't worry, I will continue with these three different series plus the odd tutorial video and I don't mind if that's what you'd like to do at all :)

[@fringestalin6263]

PTGRail That's pretty interesting. I should ask you questions more often. I'll at least credit you as some inspiration if I ever do videos like that in the future. Cheers :)

[@PTGRail]

Fringe Stalin Haha, feel free to ask me questions more often :) And thanks!

[@carailphotography]

Shame they group the assets together. I'd love to use some of those assets on the platforms, any idea how I can seperate them? (i'm interested in the station lamps at sandown as they look like gwr station lamps).

[@TepicPlug]

Well done. Great idea! Obvious question, where do I get the dino reskin? :)

[@PTGRail]

TepicPlug's Simulation Station I believe you can get the 'dino' reskin from the DP Simulation website :) www.dpsimulation.org.uk

[@johntitor.]

Nice video and info.

[@PTGRail]

Thanks :)

[@simonmd2000]

VERY interesting and enjoyable, I look forward to many more in this series and wonder how on earth you will pack so much detail into larger routes like the South London Network! I know this route in TS very well, using it to teach myself scenario creation as it was short, simple and had the interesting features of 3rd rail and non electric lines, eventually releasing 3 scenarios on the Steam workshop for it using the Class 415 EPB stock.

[@PTGRail]

simonmd2000 Thank you :) I've used this route as my 'trial' route for the route learning series and now the route guide series too. As for South London Network, I would break it down into more manageable chunks.. say one covering the South London Line, one covering the Chatham line and so on :)

[@KrayonMims]

Awesome video

[@PTGRail]

rail devil Thank you! :)

[@tinntinn1018]

Can you please do a route guide for the Hadrian County Line

[@roberthopkins7984]

Should do Portland and Weymouth Harbour line.

[@tomkent4656]

Does the Hovercraft service still run?

[@Canadus]

I'm watching your videos for the last few days now. Absolutely great work. Would like to tryout TS17, but I'm lost in all that content that is available. Is there any place, where you can find info on which routes and trains are worth the money? Greetings from Germany...

[@PTGRail]

Danke, I'm glad that you have been enjoying these videos! There's a lot of different content indeed, and I recommend first getting the content which is of particular interest to you. I may be able to help if you have any particular routes or trains in mind that you would like to get. :)

[@Canadus]

More important; your professional opinion: Still get TS2017 or wait for TSW? I'm reading a lot of bad stuff about TS. People complaining about bugs and such stuff?!

[@iwsrfc175]

The steam railway does own 3 ivatts 41298 and 41313 and 46447 which is on permanent loan to the East summer set railway, Adam o2 W24 colbourne which is the sole survivor of the class, three hunslet austerity 198 Royal engineer 192 waggoner and Juno that is in a museum, two terriers in A1X W11 Newport and W8 Freshwater, saddle tank 37 invisible and Barclays Ajax 38. Diesel locomotive are o2 D2059 Edward, o5 D2554 FRED and Barclay shunter 235. W24 colbourne is the railways pride locomotive and ivatt 41313 is the newest member to the steaming family at the railway. 1938 tube stock is getting replaced with D stock

[@kendallbr9166]

Love your videos:)

[@PTGRail]

Ke Br Thank you! I always appreciate knowing that people like the work I do :)

[@mikeytrains1]

How did you get the livery on the class 483 at 3:54?

[@PTGRail]

+FECSD70M2 PRODUCTIONS I can't remember which website it came from now, but it is available online :)

[@nothisispatrick6180]

3:58 where can you get that reskin

[@dronespace]

Love this

[@hulltrains8023]

nice little steam engine

[@jackdstudios4363]

How do you get that

[@bigbuster1616]

Your accent is fantastic, it's like silk. I did enjoy this, as previously stated, but I hope this doesn't herald the end for the route learning videos

[@PTGRail]

Andrew Bustard Haha thanks! I do try and speak as clearly as I can :) And no, it sure doesn't herald an end for route learning videos so worry not! It just gives me more options in the future for more variety on the channel :)

[@bigbuster1616]

PTGRail Honestly, its the sharpest sounding accent I have ever heard! I am from Scotland and I thought the Scottish accent was fantastic, but yours is very easy to understand, and very luxurious. Is that accent typical of people in your local area?

[@PTGRail]

Andrew Bustard You really think so? Lol.. I love the Scottish accent.. it sounds cool :) Though I can't try and speak in a Scottish accent to save my life lol :p When I was younger I had a strong Lincolnshire accent which is much more Northern. I just chose to try and speak like this when I was a teen. I would say this accent is typical of some people who live in the south east, but I know many who sound quite different to me lol :)

[@bigbuster1616]

PTGRail Interesting. I find that it's pretty cool. Although I live in Strathclyde, on the West Coast, i would say i sounded more like someone from, for example stirling or edinburgh, or not. Just definitely not that glaswegian

[@PTGRail]

Andrew Bustard Haha, how many Scottish accents are there? I struggle to tell them apart! :)

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I have never been to England and i am upset that they are getting rid of these trains. they are so unique i don't understand why they don't refurbish them

[@Frowny13]

very cool!

[@PTGRail]

Frowny13 Thanks! I'm hoping to make more of these soon :)

[@Frowny13]

em whats the other route guide video you made?

[@PTGRail]

Frowny13 I haven't yet. I've made two train guides and a German signalling guide, but this was my first route guide :)

[@Frowny13]

em wheres that video?

[@PTGRail]

Frowny13 Which video are you looking for? :)

[@scrantonshopsmodeller8089]

its kind of sad that the railway just keeps "downsizing"

[@hulltrains8023]

you should be on the telly and youtube

[@akarouge]

NOT half-hourly, every 20 mins and 40 mins.

[@SussexHistory]

The Train Simulator representation of the Island Line is only incorrect in a few details. If you would like to create a more accurate representation, I think I would switch to OpenBVE. A drawback with TS is that you can only create objects for it using proprietary software. However, with OpenBVE, you can create objects with any 3D art package such as 'Blender' (hard) or Sketchup (Easy). The train driver who uploads KZbin videos on the subject says he considers OpenBVE the more realistic simulator. The advantage of OpenBVE is all the objects for it are free, so no DLC to pay for! There is a bit of a learning curve setting it all up, but once you get the hang of it, things are a lot simpler than they are with Train Simulator.
