The footbridge you mention at Morpeth (19:09) is the same one (not the same bridge, but the same location: the bridge was heightened for electrification) my best friend and I spent almost every Saturday of our childhoods trainspotting from. (We were spotting for Deltics in those days, of course: no overhead lines then (mid 70s)). Just north, at Widdrington Station, there used to be a signal box (vestiges are still visible just before the road crossing on the right at the N end of the UP platform) and another friend's father was signalman so spent time in there in the early 1960s (still plenty of steam then) observing block signaling in action. Finally, since I am from Northumberland, also a note that Alnmouth is locally pronounced closer to Alan-mouth (but making 'alan' a single syllable) versus AHln-m'th. Great video. Thank you.
I'm from Newcastle & I can relate to you with this train. It's also my favorite train, so many childhood memories of it. When I first saw it as a child I was "Woah!" & also I believe it was the first train I ever saw, when I took my first ever train journey.
Another great video there my friend. I have just done my first video but with condensed narration as I tend to be a chatterbox on my videos :). The Class 91's are a nice locomotive but my favourite is the Class 92 as it looks like an electric Class 60. Not sure if Abellio Greater Anglia will take these 225 sets on once they leave the East Coast Main Line fleet but sadly nothing lasts forever. I have to admit that the VTEC livery on these trains look smart.
I believe that there is an unofficial 3mph tolerance regarding speed limits, so 128mph in a 125mph zone wouldn't be frowned upon. Having asked drivers about speed limit tolerances one driver (of modern EMUs without a speedset) said that for a speed limit of 90mph he would accelerate to 92mph, coast down to 88mph and then accelerate up to 92mph again and would do that for all speed limits (i.e. +/-2mph of speed limit). Another driver said he had had the trains OTMR recording downloaded for a particular run which showed him running at 104mph for over a minute in a 100mph and his Driver Manager didn't even bat an eyelid. I think the primary thing is that as long as they can tell you are driving competently and with due care and attention slight overspeeds are tolerated. As many speedometers are set at different angles and positions between classes of train and some drivers prefer to drive standing up, as well as the fact that speedometers can only be so accurate a reasonable tolerance is necessary otherwise drivers would be too conscious of making sure they were below the speed limit and this could lead to distracting from other duties. To conclude I don't think a Driver Manager would haul you up for a good scolding for doing 111mph for about all of two seconds in a 110mph zone!!! Happy driving! :)
As a passenger on this route in real life, there are spectacular views as the line runs along the edge of the cliffs. You can see seals sunning themselves on the rocks below if your'e lucky.
+Robert Langford I agree there are some quite beautiful sections on this route. I've travelled the line a couple of times - though the first time I was too young to really remember it.
I have never ridden a train before (with the exception of inter-city rapid rail lines), and your learning videos are the next best thing to being on one. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant video, thanks for taking the time to film it. Love riding the class 91s & MK IVs. They are the best sets on the network at the moment IMO. I noticed you said you are from Lincoln originally, my local station is Retford so get to see the 91s all the time. for now anyway !
+Rob_209 Thank you! The Class 91s are awesome! I am indeed originally from Lincoln, but we moved away from there when I was a kid all the way back in 1994 (I feel old now haha). Retford is a good place to watch trains :)
Yes, you are correct, the Royal Border Bridge which crosses England into Scotland and in the other direction. It is similar to that of Ribblehead Viaduct on the famed Settle & Carlisle that links Yorkshire and Cumbria.
If you're going to Chicago, there's a train that runs from Chicago to Detroit Michigan, I took the train from Ann Arbor Michigan and that was about 4 hours, so that was a nice train ride
Great video once again! I just realised that the unit number for the 'for the fallen' unit is 9 11/11! I also liked the inclusion of shots of the train passing through the station! Wishing you all the best in 2016!
+HuntergreedGaming Thanks! I hadn't realised that either about the loco number alluding to 11/11. I've been trying to include external shots in a few more videos recently, experimenting to see how I can improve these videos further :)
on arrivival into alnmouth station you can see alnmouth which is a beutiful sight especialy with the beach, coulerful houses and bridge a I suggested being on a train around that part of the line.
+Dominic Walker I'm not sure that they are like the real ones. In the game you can understand the announcements. I'm sure that real station announcers go on special training courses in uninteligibility. ;-)
finally watched it all. good job on the pulling off from platforms I know if done wrong it jolts and again when actually on an east coast mainline to Edinburgh or London it's super smooth.
Great to see some more Scottish action and a very interesting choice of liver too, much better than the old dull EC grey! I did you Glasgow to Edinburgh scenario from the workshop the other day and thought the Edinburgh to Glasgow route would be ideal for your Route Guide series as it's not too long.
+simonmd2000 I always found EC Grey a dull livery too lol XD I think you're onto something there and it would be quite an interesting route to cover in a route guide. I will see what I can do in the future :)
+Roger Crick Thank you Roger. Indeed, constant small changes in speed limit are actually really challenging to deal with as you really have to know where they are, and where you are in relation to them.
If you're planning on coming to Chicago in late June then a word of warning. It gets hot. But when it comes to trains I would recomend a ride on the South Shore Line, America's last interurban electric railway. It's a 6-7 hour round trip from Chicago to South bend, but it has some very nice sights including street running through Michigan City.
+Jack Morgan Haha, I've heard that it can get pretty hot there in the summer! It gets pretty hot over here in London too so I have something of an idea what to expect. Thanks for the idea there, I'm hoping to go on at least a couple of train journeys whilst I'm out there :)
Virgin are actually planning to keep about 13 IC225 sets for use on King's Cross-Edinburgh Fast services even after all the Class 800 and 801s have entered service. The Mk4 rakes will be reduced to 7 vehicles plus DVT, a PO (Pullman Open) and TO (Tourist Open) will be removed from each set. The shorter rakes are presumably to enable the 225s to have acceleration more akin to the new IEP trains though at 4 mins to 125mph from a standing start I have never thought the 225s to be particularly poor at acceleration, especially when you consider that a Class 170 takes 4 mins, 10 secs to reach 100mph and an HST takes 10 mins, 30 secs to reach 125mph!!!
+PTGRail I believe the options for thr renaining 225 sets are either utilisation on the Midland Miainline once it's electrified or on the Great Eastern mainline if linespeeds are increased to over 100mph. Abellio Greater Anglia have expressed a preference for EMUs to replace the Class 90 and Mk3 push-pull sets. While EMT are pretty silent on the subject of HST/Cl. 222 replacements. I do know that GWRs HSTs are going to be used in Scotland from 2019 on Glasgow/Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness services. Shortened to 2+4 and 2+5 sets to give them Voyager style acceleration and to comply with the short platforms at many rural Scottish stations. Though they're definitely not going to do the full 125mph over Slochd en-route to Inverness! I don't know what is going to happen to VTEC's HSTs however. Hopefully some TOC will find a use for them.
That is the town north of Newcastle. I did board on Class 91 back in 2004 and also in 2015 during the Great Britain railtour that did not work out first time around. I travelled back to London from Edinburgh one Saturday because of so many delays the previous day on the West Coast main line. Sad that these expresses after nearly three decades on the route will be replaced by Azumas in the near future.
good video, the Class 91/Intercity 225 is my favourite locomotive/train, I recommend the Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement pack, loads better than the original one.
The class 91 is NOT being replaced by the new trains, the HST's are being replaced so my fair guess is we will have the class 91 for another 10 years before there are replaced.
Alnmouth is pronounced Alin-mouth with mouth as in the word mouth not muth as it is sometimes shortened to. Hope this helps. Great video. Hope you had a good Xmas and have a Happy New Year. Happy Hogmanay in the mean time! :)
Also, don't know if it's the route or the train but the IC225 set you were driving seemed to experience rather severe hunting at certain points, even on straight track. Is that the route or the train as I haven't noticed it when I have driven the 91 before. Also, thanks for including the link to the livery reskin. The 'For the Fallen' liveried 91 and the VTEC 'Coke Can' Mk4 set looks stunning! :)
+PTGRail yea I am enjoying it. I'm having to watch it in block segments though as I have a daughter that's at the stages of wanting to steal my phone when I'm on UA-cam :p but again thank you. I also like the class 90/91 only use it as Hud as I struggle to get it working in advance mode. but I would like to learn. I heard you said you would be doing a train class tutorial, it be great if you covered the advance cold start too. one thing I'd love to see made but it don't exist is a branch line route from the Glasgow to Edinburgh route Edinburgh to Bathgate branch as it's the main line nere my growing up area. always seen class 50s on younger years fraghtliners and class 150 158s. and class 160s. but again your doing great hope uni is going well for you also.

Loved the video, especially the new camera angles from the platforms, definitely consider using them more in the videos where there's less to talk about, to give a bit more variety. Any chance of getting a class 800/801 video at some point? Also, what are the other "train related games" you're looking at doing in the future out of curiosity? Something like OpenTTD? Cheers
+include Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I may consider doing a Class 800/801 video in the future though I have no immediate plans to do so. As for other train related games.. that's still not decided yet but I've got a few ideas which I will share in the near future :)
Purely excellent video Peter, and great fun to absorb your crystal-clear monologue. Will the scenario you produced here be available to us in the future? Cheers, and Happy New Year, Peter. -Jon
+Jon Houston Thank you Jon. I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I would like to be able to make this scenario available to everyone in the future, but I need to work out how as I can't upload this to Steam workshop due to using 3rd party content.
+PTGRail I kinda figured that'd be a problem, Peter. So not to worry; it's just a whim where I like to be able to execute what I've learned from your videos. Do take care, Mon Vieux. -Jon
+anon halifax Awesome! I hope you enjoy watching this video :) I will be doing a return journey from Carlisle to Preston, though it's unlikely to be in a Class 350 :)
What specs does your PC need to have to handle this route? This has inspired me to get this route now as I have the ECML York to Newcastle modern and also the ECML Kings Cross to Peterborough. I know you said it was quite bad in terms of lag and also in terms of the game crashing to desktop, so which route is a good indicator as to whether your PC can handle it?
I do love "playing" this simulator, but its so frustrating that it runs so poorly on high end PC's but also that you can spend £100s on routes, only to get 2-3 scenarios on each one, before having to download workshop scenarios that can be a bit hit and miss :(
+Joe Langley it's just frustrating how much money goes into this game with so little replay value. :( not to mention needing a super computer to play at 20fps... Lol
+Adam Webb I agree, I play train sim a lot but can never have dynamic lighting on because it puts me down to like 18fps which is practically unplayable
Hey PTG, just wondering. I know the basic gist of how to get rid of the Intercity Logo but I dont know how to save it to ensure that it will not keep it on the reskinned DVT's. Can you help me? Thanks.
+MrDreamliner Hi there. I wish I could remember! I know you need to use the program RW Tools to remove the logo, but beyond that I can't remember how to do it. I will see if I can find something about it :)
PTGRAIL once the whole of the ECML is out if it does all come out could you do 4 separate videos on these different sets of the line on the same scenario: Part 1: London to Peterborough Part 2: Peterborough to York Part 3: York to Newcastle Part 4: Newcastle to Edinburgh
are you planning on buying Creative Rail ECML from Peterborough to York. If so will you be buying the current version with Selby or wait for modernisation?
+Bogeyboytastic yayeh I've already got the route and I've made a video on it between Peterborough and York in a Deltic. You can find it on this channel :)
+PTGRail I actually live in a suburb near Chicago and you can take the Metra (on the same route in the game) to get to where I live so maybe we could meet each other (ps im 13 years old so this sounds kinda weird lol)
Great video! Is there a way to put the two parts together (Edinburgh - Berwick) Berwick - Newcastle)? Rather having to go out of the game to load the second part?
31:44 that sound of the passing Class 221 'Super Voyager' was so cool and amazing😍 sorry I just love the sound of trains 😂

Saw 91111 coming across Berwick Border Bridge a few days ago, the bridge is huge when your underneath it!
Yes, you are correct, the Royal Border Bridge which crosses England into Scotland and in the other direction. It is similar to that of Ribblehead Viaduct on the famed Settle & Carlisle that links Yorkshire and Cumbria.
Thanks for reskining the class 91
I like the outside passing shots they are new! great vid as allways
+TheBarnem13 I've been experimenting to see what improvements I can make to these videos :)
+PTGRail yea well IMO it works well looks good especialy going through stations
If you're going to Chicago, there's a train that runs from Chicago to Detroit Michigan, I took the train from Ann Arbor Michigan and that was about 4 hours, so that was a nice train ride
+Joe Swanson Thanks for the info. I'll consider making that trip :)

At around 10:00 it looked like the train was about to derail! Great video as with all of yours.:)
+Highspeedline01 haha, I agree.. it looked like the train was about to derail at a few points on this journey! XD
+PTGRail why does 1s02 call at dunbar? i thought only scotrail and occasional XC's stop here
+PTGRail will this scenario be able to download
BahnSpotter I
on arrivival into alnmouth station you can see alnmouth which is a beutiful sight especialy with the beach, coulerful houses and bridge a I suggested being on a train around that part of the line.

finally watched it all. good job on the pulling off from platforms I know if done wrong it jolts and again when actually on an east coast mainline to Edinburgh or London it's super smooth.
+Craig Paterson dont know about that craig been on a southbound out of leeds sat up behind the loco and you could really feel her pushing
+EastCoast91114 wow that's a suprise, possibly a new driver or someone in training.
Or the 91 is at the back and pushing the train causing the jolt you're feeling
Excellent run through, thank you and looking forward to the tutorials and more.
+Paul Stoneman Thank you! That's good to hear, we'll see what I can get done over the next few weeks :)
Alnmouth is called
that was the best route learning video ever done on the class 91
+Teejan Lowe Haha thanks :)
+PTGRail your welcome
5S02 goes through my local to Doncaster to work that train! :P, great video as always mate :)
+High Speeds Trains James1 Awesome! And thanks :)
Great to see some more Scottish action and a very interesting choice of liver too, much better than the old dull EC grey!

great vid as always enjoyed watching it while drinking a glass or two of red wine! hope u have a happy new year
+Duncan Edwards Thanks! :) Glad you enjoyed this video. I hope you enjoy the wine too haha XD Happy new year to you too :)
Peter, another great video. The constant small changes in speed limits must have been very challenging. Roger Crick
+Roger Crick Thank you Roger. Indeed, constant small changes in speed limit are actually really challenging to deal with as you really have to know where they are, and where you are in relation to them.
This is one Geordie that lives in NZ. It's nice just to see how detailed the simulation is when it comes to the background. :D
If you're planning on coming to Chicago in late June then a word of warning. It gets hot. But when it comes to trains I would recomend a ride on the South Shore Line, America's last interurban electric railway. It's a 6-7 hour round trip from Chicago to South bend, but it has some very nice sights including street running through Michigan City.
+Jack Morgan Haha, I've heard that it can get pretty hot there in the summer! It gets pretty hot over here in London too so I have something of an idea what to expect. Thanks for the idea there, I'm hoping to go on at least a couple of train journeys whilst I'm out there :)
Virgin are actually planning to keep about 13 IC225 sets for use on King's Cross-Edinburgh Fast services even after all the Class 800 and 801s have entered service. The Mk4 rakes will be reduced to 7 vehicles plus DVT, a PO (Pullman Open) and TO (Tourist Open) will be removed from each set. The shorter rakes are presumably to enable the 225s to have acceleration more akin to the new IEP trains though at 4 mins to 125mph from a standing start I have never thought the 225s to be particularly poor at acceleration, especially when you consider that a Class 170 takes 4 mins, 10 secs to reach 100mph and an HST takes 10 mins, 30 secs to reach 125mph!!!
+Ben Reid I am very happy to hear that they are planning on keeping some of the 225 sets. Do you know what might happen to the rest of them?
+PTGRail I believe the options for thr renaining 225 sets are either utilisation on the Midland Miainline once it's electrified or on the Great Eastern mainline if linespeeds are increased to over 100mph.

+Class380Fan Haha indeed! I hope you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for making this! It has helped me a lot!
+Shawn Bickel No problem. Glad that I could help! :)
Great work as always PTGRail
+Sean Duff (Duffers) Thanks! :)
The trains are also called the intercity 225.
I just followed the route with you
Alnmouth is actually pronounced as if you almost say Allan mouth. I live very close to this line in that area. Great video. Thank you
+hairyboosh Thanks, I wasn't sure on the pronunciation so kinda guessed XD
That is the town north of Newcastle. I did board on Class 91 back in 2004 and also in 2015 during the Great Britain railtour that did not work out first time around. I travelled back to London from Edinburgh one Saturday because of so many delays the previous day on the West Coast main line. Sad that these expresses after nearly three decades on the route will be replaced by Azumas in the near future.
I live 6 miles away from Morpeth station and remember an HST derailing a few years ago.
Lots of trains seem to have derailed in the Morpeth area lol XD
PTGRail the last one was really bad 1994 if im not mistaking
The 06.22 Newcastle to Edinburgh VTEC also calls at all stations en route
"Morpeth" being one?
just awesome driving and also awesome tutorial thank you
This video is Great also i seen the For the fallen livery today.
I love the class 90 and 91 because I always travel to Darlington to head to my nan's at Middlesbrough.
I just love everything about the journey.😊😊😊😊
+Oliver Folaranmi Awesome! Any journey which involved a Class 90 or 91 is a good journey in my opinion :)
Edinburgh and Glasgow good day
Class 90/91 don't go to Middlesborough, there are no overhead electric wires
good video, the Class 91/Intercity 225 is my favourite locomotive/train, I recommend the Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement pack, loads better than the original one.
Love the class 91 & DVT
+garethkemp84 Agreed! :)
another fantastic video..thankyou
+Matthew Merrill Thank you! :)
Who else loves the class 91
My favourite loco :)
PTGRail Is the scenario available on steam workshop? If it is please send a link, thanks 😀
ME!!!!!!!
@@universaltrainsstudio8534 There's a Class 91 on STEAM Store for Train Simulator but I prefer the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 91 instead.
Jake P ME
Fantastic video very well done!
Thank you, much appreciated! :)
PTGRail do you get it on tablets or computer
The class 91 is NOT being replaced by the new trains, the HST's are being replaced so my fair guess is we will have the class 91 for another 10 years before there are replaced.
From what I understand, the majority of Class 91s will no longer be used on the ECML, with only a small selection of the sets remaining in service.
+PTGRail yeah there thinking about taking 50% of 91s out of service.
Nice that is my favourite route on Train Simulator 2017 I do it every day 😁
16:51 is Stannington Level Crossing 17:15 is Clifton
+Dom757200 Thanks for the info :)
+PTGRail I thought it stop at Haymarket! LOL!
Where have your vids gone??? Miss them
Alnmouth is pronounced Alin-mouth with mouth as in the word mouth not muth as it is sometimes shortened to. Hope this helps. Great video. Hope you had a good Xmas and have a Happy New Year. Happy Hogmanay in the mean time! :)
+Ben Reid Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure on the pronunciation so just guessed lol XD
+Ben Reid I hope you had a good Christmas and have a happy new year too :)
What a brilliant route!
the class 91 you are using is also the same that class 91 that completed the speed record
East Midlands Trains are getting the Class 91s in 2019
Brilliant video!! Back in Scotland ;)
+JDB158 Thanks! I've just uploaded another Scottish video too :p
At around 24:30, that's a very sharp turn!
+Josef Walls There's quite a few of them on this route lol! XD
24:37 is the sharp turn
really enjoy the videos, mate. Newcastle to Edinburgh so picturesque. will you be doing Peterborough to Leicester at some point?
+Robbie Turner Thanks Robbie. Unfortunately I can't cover that route at present as it isn't available in Train Simulator.
I have travelled on the class 91
Brilliant Video!
+Trainspotting Central Thank you :)
+PTGRail FYI there is a Class 91 enhancement pack on UkTrainSim
+Matthew Avery Thanks, I wasn't aware of this.
+PTGRail sure thing! :D
Also, don't know if it's the route or the train but the IC225 set you were driving seemed to experience rather severe hunting at certain points, even on straight track. Is that the route or the train as I haven't noticed it when I have driven the 91 before. Also, thanks for including the link to the livery reskin. The 'For the Fallen' liveried 91 and the VTEC 'Coke Can' Mk4 set looks stunning! :)
+Ben Reid It's the route! Definitely the route lol.. some of the track on this route could really do with some work. :)
fuk yea. Iv been waiting months for this video to be done. thanks ptg@
+Craig Paterson Haha awesome. Hope you enjoyed this video :)
+PTGRail yea I am enjoying it. I'm having to watch it in block segments though as I have a daughter that's at the stages of wanting to steal my phone when I'm on UA-cam :p but again thank you. I also like the class 90/91 only use it as Hud as I struggle to get it working in advance mode. but I would like to learn. I heard you said you would be doing a train class tutorial, it be great if you covered the advance cold start too. one thing I'd love to see made but it don't exist is a branch line route from the Glasgow to Edinburgh route Edinburgh to Bathgate branch as it's the main line nere my growing up area. always seen class 50s on younger years fraghtliners and class 150 158s. and class 160s. but again your doing great hope uni is going well for you also.
+PTGRail yea I am enjoying it. I'm having to watch it in block segments though as I have a daughter that's at the stages of wanting to steal my phone when I'm on UA-cam :p but again thank you.

Can you use the blunt end of a class 91 in train sim. Would be a good challenge, especially with tight schedule and reduced speed blunt end first.

just a timestamp so i can come back to where i left off
Loved the video, especially the new camera angles from the platforms, definitely consider using them more in the videos where there's less to talk about, to give a bit more variety. Any chance of getting a class 800/801 video at some point? Also, what are the other "train related games" you're looking at doing in the future out of curiosity? Something like OpenTTD?
Cheers
+include Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I may consider doing a Class 800/801 video in the future though I have no immediate plans to do so. As for other train related games.. that's still not decided yet but I've got a few ideas which I will share in the near future :)
He always says: I’m going to idle the power to allow the train to coast lol
Part 1 of the 4 hours video Edinburgh Weaverly to London Kings X
Purely excellent video Peter, and great fun to absorb your crystal-clear monologue.
Will the scenario you produced here be available to us in the future?
Cheers, and Happy New Year, Peter. -Jon
+Jon Houston Thank you Jon. I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I would like to be able to make this scenario available to everyone in the future, but I need to work out how as I can't upload this to Steam workshop due to using 3rd party content.
+Jon Houston And a Happy New Year to you too! :)
+PTGRail I kinda figured that'd be a problem, Peter. So not to worry; it's just a whim where I like to be able to execute what I've learned from your videos.
Do take care, Mon Vieux. -Jon
A Route learning video I've been waiting for! Will you be doing a return trip between Carlisle and Preston? Possibly with the class 350?
+anon halifax Awesome! I hope you enjoy watching this video :) I will be doing a return journey from Carlisle to Preston, though it's unlikely to be in a Class 350 :)
+PTGRail got the reskinns to work just had to delete blueprints.pak file
Do you know where to find the Electrified version of the York to Newcastle route?
Hello ptg Rail Class 91 Is Going To East Midands Trains From Sheffield To London
Are they, I'd wondered if they'd do this, makes sense. Will be nice to have loco hauled on this line rather than noisy diesel units:)
Matthew Marshall Trains Movies they are on the ecml for ages till the 802 comes
What specs does your PC need to have to handle this route? This has inspired me to get this route now as I have the ECML York to Newcastle modern and also the ECML Kings Cross to Peterborough. I know you said it was quite bad in terms of lag and also in terms of the game crashing to desktop, so which route is a good indicator as to whether your PC can handle it?
Great video bet you worked hard on it :)
+Tim O'Grady Thanks! This video took quite a lot of work to put together :)
+PTGRail will this scenario be up for download
+PTGRail my reverser only goes to 13% can you help me
Hi PTG Rail Train Simulator 2016 Look Cool is Cool
sorry if someone else has asked this but do the station announcements come with the pack? great video by the way
Is this the Just Trains Newcastle to Edinburgh? Is so is this an addon scenario as I don't have it in my list of scenarios for that route. Thanks.
Great video! The Class 91 is my favourite Loco. Is there any chance you could do a return journey on the ECML, in the MK4 DVT?
+BNStudios1 Thanks! Same here, it's always been my favourite loco. I will consider doe a DVT journey in the future :)
+PTGRail *doing
I do love "playing" this simulator, but its so frustrating that it runs so poorly on high end PC's but also that you can spend £100s on routes, only to get 2-3 scenarios on each one, before having to download workshop scenarios that can be a bit hit and miss :(
Make your own scenarios, that way you will get exactly what you want, using exactly what train you want.
+Joe Langley so I need to pay for the game then make my own scenarios. That's just silly.
+Adam Webb I agree it can be annoying
+Joe Langley it's just frustrating how much money goes into this game with so little replay value. :( not to mention needing a super computer to play at 20fps... Lol
+Adam Webb I agree, I play train sim a lot but can never have dynamic lighting on because it puts me down to like 18fps which is practically unplayable
Yo the train was going so fast when you where on 125 that my iPad was glitching because of how fast the train was going 😂
how did u get this reskin to work i instal it the way it says on BHreskin facebook but it dosnt work thanks
How did you remove the Intercity logo from your DVT?
the locomotive you are using broke the speed record. it had a plaque saying that don't know if it has it now.
where did you get the mk4 carrages from
Great Video! Bit of a bumpy route tho xD
+Jordii_97 Thanks! It is indeed, I think some of the track work really needs redoing on this addon lol XD
No Problem and yeah, it does need to be redone XD
what do the pings signify what you keep hearing
would be doing a route learning when just trains Western Mainlines come out
+daniel shakesheff Of course, I have quite a few planned for that addon! :)
It says the BH reskins facebook page is unavailable when i am logged in, any answers?
I really want to pursue the career of becoming a train driver in Reading but it's gold dust to near impossible! would you know how to achieve it?
Can you do a Azuma class 800 route
Hey PTG, just wondering. I know the basic gist of how to get rid of the Intercity Logo but I dont know how to save it to ensure that it will not keep it on the reskinned DVT's. Can you help me? Thanks.
+MrDreamliner Hi there. I wish I could remember! I know you need to use the program RW Tools to remove the logo, but beyond that I can't remember how to do it. I will see if I can find something about it :)
+PTGRail How do you change the track from 2D to 3D as you mentioned in this video?
+Louis Adamowicz The route comes with a small program to do just that which you can find in the start menu under 'Just Trains' :)
PTGRAIL once the whole of the ECML is out if it does all come out could you do 4 separate videos on these different sets of the line on the same scenario:
Part 1: London to Peterborough
Part 2: Peterborough to York
Part 3: York to Newcastle
Part 4: Newcastle to Edinburgh
+Dominic Walker he has done that. just look through his videos
+Dominic Walker It's already been done, just in different scenarios and different eras :)
are you planning on buying Creative Rail ECML from Peterborough to York. If so will you be buying the current version with Selby or wait for modernisation?
+Bogeyboytastic yayeh I've already got the route and I've made a video on it between Peterborough and York in a Deltic. You can find it on this channel :)
+PTGRail I actually live in a suburb near Chicago and you can take the Metra (on the same route in the game) to get to where I live so maybe we could meet each other (ps im 13 years old so this sounds kinda weird lol)
Great video! Is there a way to put the two parts together (Edinburgh - Berwick) Berwick - Newcastle)? Rather having to go out of the game to load the second part?
Thanks! :) Unfortunately you'd have to create your own scenario to be able to do that.
Ok; many thanks!
This is awesome
Can you cover a video on how to install a AP Sound Pack
+Hectic Karnage If you follow the instructions, installing an AP sound pack couldn't be easier :)
have you uploaded this scenario or could you upload this scenario as i find it quite hard to make scenarios. especially on this route with lots of AI
+Random Rail Videos Unfortunately I have no idea how to make this scenario available online as it's not compatible with Steam workshop.
hi,have you done Derby or Nottingham station to St Pancras station .east Midlands trains 222 ?
Derby to Nottingham to St Pancras is not in the game yet but Bedford to St Pancras is
Hi, you mention early on about the graphics and the shimmering of the track. What settings did you have it on to combat this? Thanks
+Steve Potter I use the 2x2 antialiasing setting which really seems to help with it :)
+PTGRail thanks
I was wondering how do you reduce the speed set using the keyboard?
+Steven Jam Y & C
Thank you
Can I get this scenario?
was it me or was the class 91 tilting on all the corners
+justin hamer It's due to the superelevation of the track where the track itself tilts.
