TS2016 - Riveria Line (Castle Class Steam)

[@fgwHST43009]

In Railway vocabulary; 'Up' means towards London. So the 'Up Main Platform' is the London-bound platform on the main running line. 'Up Relief Platform' is the London-bound platform on the slow lines. Up Main = London-bound fast line. Up Relief = London-bound slow line. Down means the same thing just in the opposite direction (heading away from London).

[@AndersaurusR3X]

But Squirrel, that is what waves looked like in the 50's :P

[@TrainsWow]

[@gaspermedved5803]

[@sanmtlyre0225]

[@bradf2803]

Sanmtlyre 02 yeah we know that

[@GWR6029]

Hi Paul, in terms of the brakes it doesn't mean put the brakes on 25% to release them it means you have to wait for the brakes to fully release and on Great Western steam engines their vacuum pressure is 25psi whilst all other regions is only 21psi. So you fully release the brakes first (so the gauge reads 25psi) and then move off. Then once on the move you put the brake lever into the running position so the engine uses less steam. Great video all the same can't wait for more steam videos :)

[@DoctorShocktor]

+GWR6029 Yeah, I've explained to him in great detail how train air brakes work, but he insists on relishing in his ignorance. He continues to think like a schoolboy that brakes are APPLIED by the air pressure! It's why I was charmed by his banter when viewing him a few years ago, but now his willful ignorance in TS, ETS2 and FSX, and his continual infinite hardware upgrades at the expense of the viewers on his Twitch stream now turn me off. I watch once in awhile just to see the idiotic disasters.

[@PentaYOOO]

+DoctorShocktor Amazing comment lol

[@SteamMasterGaming]

I didn't know you watch him?

[@AT-zg4xs]

+DoctorShocktor they are vacuum brakes not air brakes.. Air brakes are a relatively recent addition to railways in Britain..

[@DoctorShocktor]

+Andrew Thomas Yeah, same exact process except you're admitting atmospheric pressure instead of releasing air pressure from a reservoir. So you're watching a pressure gauge go up instead of down. Plus his opening statements make no sense: "Crank up the pressure, bring down the brake pressure to about 25.." What does that even mean? What? One or the other, not both. He says that at every moving off, and it makes zero sense. Also, you don't just slam in some pressure and hold on for dear life at a station approach with no adjustments like he does. "You can't easily release it - you have to throttle up to release the brakes" again. No, facepalm, you don't. His entire journey is a parade of non-nonsensical silliness ranting about the scenery because he doesn't take the time to learn any proper processes. At least he puts the brakes in running position once he is moving.

[@countertony]

Hi Squirrel - the 'Up' on the platforms and other track features is probably referring to the "up line" - the line for travel toward the main destination (in this case Exeter, but sometimes in older films or TV you'll hear about someone "going up to London" even from places north of London).

[@sprognutanimations]

As been to Dawlish warren in real life every summer the Riveria line (especially between Dawlish Warren and Dawlish) is one of the most if not the most scenic line you can find in the UK, great to see more and more people experiencing and getting to know this underdog of a railway line

[@sprognutanimations]

Yeah and heads up the castle class steam would not stop at Dawlish Warren only the more local and slower trains stop at the Warren

[@TheSkyWright]

Right just a few hints about your driving: first GWR locos have and ejector for the brakes. To take the brakes off move the brake leaver to release and open the large ejector. Then wait for the brake gauge on the loco to come up to 25. Some GWR locos also have a small ejector as well so open this and close the large ejector after the brake pressure is at 25. You can then start the loco. When running the GWR locos have a mechanical vacuum pump to keep the brakes off so you can close the small ejector once you are under way. Don't open the regulator before you take the brakes off unless you are on a gradient. GWR locos have 2 valves on the regulator, main and pilot valve. When stopping do short applications of the brakes so move the brakes so they show 10-15 on the gauge then take the brakes off again and keep doing this until you stop. When starting a train don't go out of pilot valve to avoid slips. One you have moved the reverser back to the position you are running with and still need to accelerate then go into main valve. Right hope this helped a bit any questions or quirks don't hesitate to ask James

[@aleranco_black]

It seems to me that this route is great for tourist trains.

[@sleeming88]

When he was pulling out of Paignton I was literally shouting at the screen "PAUL YOU'RE SLIPPING!!!"

Modern times the End of riviera line in the modern times

[@S117M4sterChief]

7:00 I was looking at the waves. It couldn’t be more perfectly timed!

[@Epelon727]

It Sounds so realistic! I volunteer at Chinnor Railway where the run Steam Trains (or Steam Locomotives) because i love watching the trains move. Keep up the good work Paul!

[@fowlergaming3713]

Well I don't know HOW YOU DO IT but you have stayed my #1 favorite You Tuber for 3 YEARS

[@philipcheyne6420]

After your last video, I have thought it was a rather good idea to whitelist your youtube channel on Ad block =) You deserve every penny for your hardwork! @squirrel

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

The "up" platform and "up" line are traditionally the ones in the direction of London.

[@callumaherne4455]

hi Paul I work on for a great steam and diesel train company in Cumbria the trains are superbly interesting its a great day out for all the family (this is called Lakeside&Haverthwaite railway) thank you and also please keep up the superb work

[@jacobwoods8738]

Thank you Squirrel. I love the castle. My favourite steam engine in Britain is the GWR 5029 "Nunney Castle" of 1934.

[@sanmtlyre0225]

Paul with steam train brakes you need to reduce the pressure by putting the brakes on the apply zone then when you're happy with the level of braking you bring the brake setting back to running which means that you can choose how much braking you need by adjusting it using the release and apply zones

[@sanmtlyre0225]

Paul, I live near dawlish and in the riviera area and the occasional train that comes by on that route now and again don't tend to stop at dawlish, teignmoith and dawlish warren also a funny fact is that all of those exminster stations no longer exist instead exminster is completely bypassed and instead the train carries on to starcross and then Exeter but I understand that this is suppose to be set in the 50s when there were multiple stations there so that's is very impressive also the attention to detail was staggering as their places look exactly like their real life counterparts especially when I look at old photos of those areas in the 50s it's almost picture perfect, brilliant video and well driven 👍

[@eelsemaj99]

Tyler Sluman except they got a few too many brick faces houses in Starcross and missed out the Institution. And Powderham Castle

[@blackshuck1175]

Great video Paul. I live in Exeter and use that line a lot. That train is in use to day or one like it it goes from kingswier to paington now if im right. Never new Exminster had a station though so learnt a nice bit of history to. Look forward to seeing more

[@eelsemaj99]

Blackshuck sorry to reply to a comment 2 years old. The exminster station is where the TOBY's now is on the road back to Kenton etc. I use the train all the time to get to school in Torquay. It truly is a good line. Well modelled too. And Paul it is nice to live on one of those houses along by the station at Starcross! Also really convenient for getting the train

[@matthewskidmore2397]

The line from Paignton to Kingswear is a preserved steam railway. Been on it myself and loved it.

[@Neo1HFS]

I'm surprised he, as a passionate sightseer in the train sim world, hasn't discovered the joy of the 8 key yet. (Free cam) - Good for some "custom" drive-by scenes and screenshots.

[@bobthepenguin3990]

Hi Squirrel I love that route, train, and map. Steam trains on the riveria line in the fifties is awesomely great.

[@dvdraymond]

Simplified braking guide for this train. Although the HUD brake display shows 0-100% that's misleading. 0-30 means you are lowering the braking force. 30-40 means you are holding the force steady. 40+ means you are increasing the force. So the lever controls the brake force delta, and not the absolute. A setting of even 41 will get to full brake force eventually, hence the slow start and constant increase you've talked about. In the F4 HUD mode you can see the brake pressure number, 0 is fully on, 25 is fully off. To brake lightly, go above 40% brake until that pressure gets where you want it, then move the lever back into the 30s to hold it there so it doesn't keep increasing.

[@reaperwaits]

took my daughter on the boness railway a few months back was great day out she loved the stream train. We seen a diesel train and she turned round and said i don't like that one its too loud haha

[@cibie01]

If only days were still like that just beautiful. top journey Paul thank you.

[@Nonicknamejames]

I go to Dawlish and Dawlish Warren a lot on holiday and I was really amazed how accurate the scenery is!!!! Dawlish station is exactly spot on and the beach is identical!

[@pottyscottystudios]

+james rowe Same here, bought the route for that reason. Looks incredibly accurate!

[@andrewcourtney3480]

can vouch for the entire route, I used to live near Goodrington,amazing detail!

[@eelsemaj99]

james rowe it's really well modelled (I use this line every day)

[@carllawrence9558]

The man who used to help with the Luggage was called a porter and the old-fashioned signals are called semaphores which Hastings still has them in use.

[@Fordsonjames]

Squirrel the brakes are different because they are vacuum brakes you have to apply the brakes to a pressure of your choice and move them back to running which will hold that pressure, what you are doing by putting the brakes to for example 60% is letting the pressure in the brakes escape completely so you are going to emergency brakes every time. The position of the brake handle will change how quickly you let the pressure escape the brakes so you can put them on quicker, this is why the speed all of a sudden drops quickly when you are braking.

[@Fordsonjames]

There's a heritage steam railway that runs into peterborough Squirrel. It's called the Nene Valley Railway, if I remember rightly that's closer for you than goin down south :P

[@JamesCostain]

if you like steam trains go to the bluebell railway in sussex where there's loads of steam trains check the website first though for running times

[@09yeahAZ]

I love how you drive and how you enjoy the game ! Made my day !

[@souldry]

Seems like it should be insanely boring and yet I am in love.

[@Ascendance2001]

[@clangswordsman4968]

+Grayson mountford REALLY XD :O

[@IanRM]

Paul . . word you were groping for was " Porters " lol OMG as a small kid, all holidays were made on trains like that. Actually, you seldom had a problem with the smoke unless the train was stopping at a station and you were waiting to get on.

[@vasileioskannes723]

''Boiling the kettle!!'' Hahahaha just brilliant!!! Steam engines for ever!!!

[@Grafiqall]

I live down In the south west and this is a very scenic line to ride!

[@Confusedadult87]

When a platform is called 'Up' it means North, not if it is on a hill. If you were doing this route the other way it would say 'Down' You still see it on somestations from time to time.

[@will_levitt926]

My favourite station’s on that route are Newton Abbot, Kingswear, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren

[@SteamKing2160]

In American trains, when they depart the station, they will usually ring the bell until they are above 15 mph.

[@eelsemaj99]

I use this line to school every day. It's excellent isn't it? Good rendering as well

[@jacobwoods8738]

The steam coming out the bonnet atop the boiler is coming from the safety valves which lift when the boiler reaches operating pressure, this is so excess pressure is released and does not cause stress or an explosion, steam from the vacuum breaks would be released from the ejector(s) alongside the boiler near where the smoke box meats the boiler.

[@paulwilliams493]

It's the Dartmouth Steam Railway, the heritage line in Torbay that you mention. Running from the mainline station at Paignton through Goodrington [where you started the video] to Churston Halt [for Brixham] and terminating at Kingsweir [for the ferry to Dartmouth].

[@pipplayshorror]

Dartmouth isn’t heritage line in Torbay it’s Paignton to kingswear, and he was talking about the Torquay expewss

[@Tiger5672]

I love this video! Great sounds and I love the brick buildings as well!

[@RockTuner]

god I love steam trains

[@Biffo1262]

Hi, that signal type you were referring to is 'semaphore' as in signalling with flags the navy does.

[@vasileioskannes723]

Also the UP turbine one is a must Paul you should definetely try it!

[@orfeous]

I see no differences from Train Simulator 2015

[@robertsowden1454]

The railtour is called the Torquay Express. It goes Bristol to Kingswear and return.

[@-_-JJ]

That train brings me back to when i was 6 watching Polar Express dreaming in being a train conductor Old times...

[@John514s]

Dont look at the waves, dont look at the waves, *looks at the waves*, No! I won`t let you!!...Now look at the waves! OMG what are thooose???

[@colacow7639]

I love this video so much. Thank you for making it

[@davidcrook4166]

Wonnn-ddeerrr-ffulll! Please excuse my atrocious spelling but to say I enjoyed that would be the biggest understatement EVER. Thank you so much!! No. 7025 "Sudeley Castle" was scrapped, sorry to say, but others of the "Castle" class have been preserved, some of which are in working order. And those men who carry baggage are called PORTERS...Anyway, BIG LIKE!

[@railotaku]

Surprised you couldn't see Exeter Cathedral during the stop at St Thomas. :) Also the section through Dawlish is "interesting" during Winter Storms :)

[@eelsemaj99]

SB Trains, Planes and Drives that's true. Also powderham castle is missing.

[@nuothe11th]

The advice message is telling you to bring the available brake pressure up to 25" (psi) aka release the brakes, not to apply the brakes at 25% on the HUD.

[@SteamKing2160]

Paul when you are going slow uphill, you put the reverser into high gear (From 50% to 75%).

[@mikeytrains1]

With me,I may be the same as Squirrel.I love British steam,even though I'm American.

[@gemibear9670]

Hehe never been more proud to be English ;)

[@jonowee]

At least with steam trains, no AWS to worry about when Squirrel is sightseeing.

[@wellardme]

I did this exact route a couple of months back for real.. got off at Teignmouth. Love your vids)

[@eelsemaj99]

wellardme tiegnmouth to Newton Abbot is massively underrated

[@slackalice100]

Paul, you are driving a GWR Castle class locomotive, known for their free running

[@jacobwoods8738]

Squirrel, I know I comment a lot, but a new steam engine just came out, the LNER/BR Peppercorn K1 on steam, from what I have seen of it, the loco looks super detailed and has some great features I would love to see you operate. Just a thought after watching this video of my favourite British steam loco ( GWR Castle).

[@HSTWilliam]

i hear you like steam Trains, well on the 27-29th of October there's a rail tour on its called the Scarborough spa express its steamed hauled it works york- Scarborough in a morning and returns on the evening, so if you want to see the steam Train there's your opportunity. By the way great Video.

[@joshtobbell9260]

You can take the brakes off if you think you're stopping too quickly xD

[@876statestreet]

Regarding all of the women who are parading up and down the station platforms as if they were on a fashion show runway, I'm quite surprised that the ones who are dressed exactly the same never seem worried about whether they or the other look better in the outfit!

[@sgthree]

I can assure you standing on Dawlish Station in the middle of winter at 7.30 in the morning with the sea crashing over the platform is not the nicest place to be. I have lived along various parts of this line pretty much all my life including being born across the road from Starcross station.

[@eelsemaj99]

Daniel Saint getting you to close the windows for the splashes. Open the train door the moment the water rushes through. What can be better? And mate. Born in the best village between cockwood and Kenton!!

[@SamJ_M]

after a quick google, 7025 Sudeley Castle was built in 1945 in swindon loco works, withdrawn and scrapped in Birds Scrapyard in the area of Morriston, Swansea.

[@SteamKing2160]

Apparently Squirrel its handsome for a steam engine to stop near the edge of the platform.

[@thomasc1263]

there are 4 lines at Dawlish warren because the 2 in the middle are for the faster trains to London or Plymouth and the outer 2 are for the slower trains stopping at all stops. so when the slower trains stop at Dawlish Warren the faster trains can still pass them also Exminster train station dosent exist any more.

[@steamtrainstudios6171]

[@thefareplayer2254]

How does Squirrel not realize you're supposed to apply the brakes and then HOLD them at that pressure?!?! Of course it's an "Avalanche" if you keep applying more pressure!

You should try the castle on the western mainlines route by just trains you get some proper high speed running on that route
