RailDriver USB Desktop Train Cab Controller | amzn.to/3E9Z6d9
Immersed in the middle of the British Railways steam era, take control of the famous LMS Jubilee Class locomotive, resplendent in nostalgic BR Brunswick Green livery, adorned with BR’s late crest. Carry passengers on a journey of a lifetime along the West Coast Main Line, over the Runcorn Railway Bridge and right into the heart of Merseyside with this express 4-6-0. Additionally, be in charge the hard-working LMS Stanier 8F Class locomotive, its rugged BR Late Black guise and 2-8-0 wheel configuration better suited to hauling lower speed, heavy freight trains.

Hey. I’m at trainee fireman on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in England. The safety valves go off when the locomotive gets to its maximum ‘safe’ working pressure. They are hydraulic tested to a much higher pressure to make sure they are safe. The two ways to stop a safety valve going off when coasting is by leaving the fire alone until the pressure dies back a little, the most efficient way to keep the pressure down and stop the locomotive from blowing off is to put an injector on. That puts water in the boiler and reduces the steam space, therefore allowing less steam pressure!
Thank you thats extremely helpful!! Except.. this simulator doesnt allow us to manually manage the fire
@@BluGames yeah. The only other thing you can do is make sure that your blower is shut and the dampers shut. Just remember to open the dampers again when you start moving.
@@BluGames I found manual firing in the options. I still don't understand how it works other than the fireman won't shovel in coal unless you open the firebox
I need to visit the NRM I volunteer at Ffestiniog and churnet
How do you know when the safety valve has burst? Can you please let me know? I'm into Yorkshire engines same as you!
Well done. You may have made some of the run a bit harder on yourself a few times because the rear part of your train was "unfitted", meaning they had no automatic brakes.
British freight trains and brakes developed differently in the UK than in the US. Where the US made the application of automatic brakes on all freight cars law the UK didn't, as the "Big Four" companies (LMS, LNER, GWR, and SR) inherited so many old freight cars which had no brakes other than handbrakes after the grouping act of 1923. It was cheaper to keep the wagons "unfitted" than it was to have them retroactively "fitted" with automatic brakes, so the railway companies simply adapted around them. Different classifications of freight trains and speed restrictions were made entirely based on the ratio of "fitted" to "unfitted" cars on the train and the lower the ratio the lower the speed limit because of lower braking power. "Fitted" cars were always marshalled next to the loco so the driver could operate the brakes while "unfitted" cars were always marshalled to the rear ahead of the brake van (caboose in US terms). In British Railways era (the era modeled in TSW2) all fitted wagons were painted bauxite (like rusty red) while unfitted wagons were painted grey.
In your case your train had 8 "fitted" cars (the first 7 cars plus the brake van at the back) and 9 "unfitted" cars meaning 47% of the train was "fitted". That would make you a Class D freight (1 lamp on top of the smokebox in front of the stack and 1 lamp above the left buffer when viewed from the front) and a speed limit of 45mph. You still managed to keep your train under control regardless, so hats off to you, especially in the snow! I'd encourage you to look up British lamp codes and their associated speed limits - it'll add a new dimension of immersion and challenge for you going forward :)
Sad to not see you pinned or at least as top commen, this was very informative and now Im diving into British lamp codes because I looove obscure details like the meaning of lamp placements

wow I really liked it was so relaxing.I liked that at the same time you were talking i mean it was not a muted gameplay.I liked to see the graphics every detail and how attentive you were to driving the locomotive.I appreciate what you do!
That digital hair was jacked up lol 😂
Hahaha yea
Driving a real steam locomotive has always been a dream of mine growing up and is still is and its on my bucket list
It's so nice to see you on TSW, DCS and MSFS :D I'm enjoying your channel so much!
That seriously means alot thanks so much
Good to see the Widnes / Runcorn bridge in a sim. The tunnel that you mentioned. As to the pollution, you could smell the area from around 10 miles away as you approached and literally cut the air with a knife, and that was only in the late 80s. My parents used to talk about smog so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face in the 50s. All around that bridge was chemical works that just dumped pollution everywhere.
Always knew when we were getting close to my nans who lived in that area her whole life.
pov him:i think this is *safe* weather
every steam fan in existance who knows traction: *face palms* THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING CONDITION POSSIBLE!
Blu and Jane ftw😎, releasing the train from the snow
Yeaaaaaa
Sheri George is a firewoman on N&W 611
First ever Train sim video i have watched and i truly enjoyed it. Thank you for that. I got it free on epic and i just downloaded it. Great video and you gained a subscriber today
Wow im your first!? Im so honored!
Thanks for the sub and i hope you enjoy the game
You are welcome and yes you are my first. I'll give it a try later today and let you know how it goes

In the 40's a union Pacific big boy locomotive could pull a 5 and a half mile long train on level track
Woooooow seriously thats cool
They should have built the New York Central route as it was in the 1940s-1950s era.
That would be nice
Open the cylinder cocks and turn the regulator on 15 or 20 percent and make sure the cut off wheel is in neutral brakes on and it lets pressure and steam out it’s to drop boiler pressure I use it all the time
Any questions you have feel free to askI fire at 2 heritage railway's in the UK and I build them for a job lol
Thats is such a COOOL JOB!! Would love to learn more
@@BluGames thank you very much, more than welcome to ask away buddy
What valve gear’s on this loco?
Walschaerts
@@tomhouseman9230 thanks
ok, the reason that there is a mix of electrical and mechanical signals along the route is because, at the time, BR would've been in the middle of the modernization plan to modernize Britain's railways
Yeah, I mean there are still lots of mechanical signals now on the mainline
I got it today!
Sweet how you like it?
okay, just something I think could have potential, a route designed to mirror the Flying Scotsman's USA tour in 1969
It's a whistle not a horn
why the showel is emply after filling cole???????
Thats just how the made it in the game..
Is this included in Train simulator world 2 ? Or is it a separate add-on? And is it on PS4?

*ahem*
*w h a t*
how do you lean out of the window?
Left/right to cycle through the cab views
When is it coming out on Xbox one
It came out this morning for consoles
Thanks Ryan
Just subscribe
Heyyyyy welcome to the fam
i really dont wanna be that guy but speke is pronounced 'speak' it just annoys me because its near where i live
I completely understand. And thank you!
Sounds are awful to me in tsw and ts
Sounds are pretty good for the steam locos
@@mattlander9119 yeah they did good on this one
Their OK sound is a bit muffled. I would like to be able to increase the chuff, chuff sound. Haven't found out where it is located in the code files yet.
