[@AndersaurusR3X]

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

[@TrainsWow]

+Avg Gamer what?

[@gaspermedved5803]

+Avg Gamer XD

[@sanmtlyre0225]

TrainsWow™ that scenario is set in the 50s

[@bradf2803]

Sanmtlyre 02 yeah we know that

[@sleeming88]

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

[@Phantom-YT19]

Modern times the End of riviera line in the modern times

[@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.

[@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).

[@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).

[@S117M4sterChief]

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

[@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

[@vasileioskannes723]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@cibie01]

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

[@colacow7639]

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

[@fowlergaming3713]

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

[@Tiger5672]

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

[@09yeahAZ]

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

[@bobthepenguin3990]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@jacobwoods8738]

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

[@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

[@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

[@paulmurray6006]

this is just awesome thank you

[@matthewskidmore2397]

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

[@kenshaw6985]

brilliant scenery nice video enjoyed it

[@Grafiqall]

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

[@926.repton]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@edwinchaffin3154]

very enjoyable will take the ride again

[@dunnerS650]

Fantastic I love it 😊

[@DanielW3440]

Hey squirrel, great video as always. FYI When you brake to slow down, if you find yourself slowing to quickly you can release the brake and you will coast under no power. Then just reapply the brake when you feel it is necessary. the brake isn't permanently applied until you stop!

[@Thej611]

I really liked this video squirrel

[@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)

[@philliplarkis8860]

Great Vid, loved it :-)

[@nomoreturkishpies8006]

OMG I LOVE STEAM TRAINS!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@mattwells6446]

Great vid Paul :D

[@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

[@RockTuner]

god I love steam trains

[@SouthCoastTrainspotter]

Great Video

[@souldry]

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

[@Ascendance2001]

+souldry ets2 seems boring but I've spent over 2000 hours on it

[@souldry]

Grayson mountford same.

[@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.

[@calvinvance3399]

I love steam trains to

[@steamtrainstudios6171]

i LOVE steam trains

[@SteamKing2160]

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

[@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.

[@HermitOfBlackLake]

It like a window into the past. To a Britain gone forever.

[@eelsemaj99]

Gideon Bellamy the landscape at least has hardly changed. And steam trains still run on that line

[@SomeDickhead]

25:15 Well, I'm pretty sure it'd be a one-sided match. Since the Transcontinental Railroad was finished in the 1860's, many travelers brought guns with them to hunt down buffalo for sport and for bragging rights. The Indians wouldn't even dare charge head first, they'd most likely put a spike on the track or move part of the track to derail the train. This was a history lesson by a random commenter, have a good day.

[@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.

[@landykid]

so you mentioned you can buy an added extra to get the DLCs where do you get that I do not see it on Steam ?? like what is the name of the DLC

[@jezzermeii]

+landy kid Go on the Train Simulator store page, they should be listed somewhere on there. If not, the DLC is also shown in a "store" in-game. :)

[@landykid]

+jezzermeii ok thanks any idea on the name of it

[@jezzermeii]

Train Simulator: The Riviera Line

[@fireshorts5789]

+landy kid If you buy the full TS2016 package this route comes with it, or you can just buy it standalone.

[@morbvsclz]

+FireShorts I don't think you can. I think there are 2 Riviera lines. The one set in the present, that was released in early 2014 and the "Riviera Line in the 50s". The latter comes with TS16 and is shown in this video. And afaik it is not available as a seperate DLC. Just like the BR155, Castle Class and Gas Turbine locomotives, the Railfan Mode and I think the Driver Assist system as well. All of that is exclusive to buyers of the full TS16 version and not available seperately.

[@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.

[@robertsowden1454]

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

[@vasileioskannes723]

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

[@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???

[@Hero7Club]

I love steam trains too!!!!!

[@bobthepenguin3990]

So do I.

[@orfeous]

I see no differences from Train Simulator 2015

[@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

[@eelsemaj99]

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

[@Biffo1262]

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

[@techv1p3rzz59]

Nice vids squirrel inspiring me +squirrel

[@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]

You know what they say Paul, watch them speed limits!

[@-_-JJ]

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

[@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.

[@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 ;)

[@SteamKing2160]

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

[@ronh5a471]

Leave it to Squirrel to add fashion show commentary in the middle of a British Steam session. :-)

[@GamingRacerHD]

Nice :D

[@noojiboy1161]

I like Steam Trains!XD

[@AnonymousElectricity]

Paington and Dartmouth railway by the way or South Devon Railway you can ride castle classes and panniers.

[@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!

[@peniel1987]

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.

[@bradf2803]

40:42 I literally walked from dawlish warren to dawlish then got the train from dawlish to teignmouth. Thats when i went to ladys mile in September last year, and i also was there the year before in the spring

[@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

[@Fallout1Boi]

Steam trains are so lit

[@dannybumface09]

I've been on it!!!

[@MrStanno9]

Yes you went through where I live :)

[@eelsemaj99]

Matthew Vernel where exactly?

[@discontinuedchannel997]

Some of the steam trains run for West coast railways and some run on the Bo'ness and Kinnell railway

[@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).

[@iainadam51]

+squirrel I go on holiday down there and a Paignton there is now a preserved railway line

[@TimeMeddler]

Semaphore signals. Porter. Lamps. Hammer. ;-)

[@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!!

[@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.

[@MaciucGaming]

Nice vid

[@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!

[@slackalice100]

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

[@mr.appalachia9787]

[@Hobson-qe3ln]

they run every day in the summer at the Paignton and Dartmouth steam railway I'm so glad I moved yesterday I see it every day in the summer some in December and a few times in the spring

[@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.

[@hamzakanuric2161]

the stem trains are the best
