Goods to Leeds - Class 40 - Train Sim World 2020 

This DLC is set in the year 1983 (explains all the industries then in Northern England) and that exact loco was withdrawn from service two years later simply because it expired its lifespan, presumably 25 years. Thanks for uploading Skwirral!

To adjust the seats. Theres a lever at the side of your seat that raises higher and lower. I have raised the secondmans seat for a laugh.

Oh I love those old class 40s. The horse gallop idle of them and the belch when you roll it on. Funny that you mentioned pneumatic wipers. My dad had an antique Cadillac with vacuum wipers and I loved how they would hiss and change speed according to the engine rpm. Such cool tech from back then.

Wow, I didnt know how accurate this game is. That looks exactly like Leeds Station IRL

@20:09 There was originally a large coal fired power station on this site from 1925 until the 1980s . That was demolished in the 1990s, and since 1998 the site has been a 5MW gas turbine plant currently operated by E.On.

If you're cold in-game, the camera should start shaking a tiny bit and gradually shakes more violently the colder you are. If you're hot in-game, sweat should start going from top of the camera down to the bottom (like rain on a window) making it extremely difficult to see. Sounds like a cool feature to add.

I remember the cooling towers in Sheffield getting demolished a few years back, I’ve lived in Texas for the past 7 years, so that’s going back some time now

Never realised it was so accurate. I drive this route everyday and apart from obviously extra lines/crossovers back then the layout, gradients, station placement, viaducts and tunnels (Morley tunnel is around 1 mile btw) even some signal placements are all really close to the real thing. Also can’t believe how many ground position lights it had coming into Leeds from the west! Has 1 now for p17

The brakes on those box vans date back to the steam era when brakes were released under steam pressure, so a diesel locomotive needs to pump air into the system to get them to release, the longer the train, the longer the time taken to charge the system.

God looking at the Leeds of that time - as a 21 year old it's both satisfying that I recognise the whole thing but also kinda weird cause of how different it is! Think the only major difference with the station now is all the lines go under the roof instead of those few on the east side just being outside.

I took the train to Huddersfield Station whenever I was in England. Cheers to all the Yorkshire peeps!

10:57 that's because you're using vacuum brakes & the brake selector is also set on vac goods

In the motorcycle world, "Character" basically means it vibrates like hell and you might not have any hands left after riding it. >_< But there is something about nostalgia!

Listen to her purr and show her ploomage. My favourite driving is always pacer in the rain.

At 22.41 you pass through Dewsbury Station and i have to say the representation is pretty spot on , Dewsbury is my home town :)

Don't worry about preserved diesels - The business case for many preserved lines maintaining their diesel fleet is unassailable, and therefore methods of passing on the skills needed to drive locos like the Class 40 will be found. We have managed to keep steam alive even as the old boys there passed away, after all.

30:20 - the station just after the tunnel is Morley, Leeds. The track then bends left and runs behind the White Rose Shopping Centre

They had similar wipers in British Ford Mk11 Zephyrs, but they were vacuum operated which unfortunately meant when you applied throttle, the wipers virtually stopped!

Small guys pile up phone books for those short seats. 😄

I don’t know what it is but there’s something about your channel that I absolutely love.

This makes me want to go out and buy this game. I like the classic British railways (1950s-1980s) and how they operated 🤠

I grew up in Hull, Quite near to Priory Sidings, and I still love the rumble of these class 40's' . I live in Australia now, having emigrated in 1989 and I would love to see this east coast line go right through to Hull Paragon ( yes I know it's a dead end ). I remember standing on the platform waiting for my morning ride to Beverly ( I worked for Associated Tyre Specialists in Beverly) and I can still hear the class 40 rumbling away when it's departure time arrived. Paragon Station had a glass roof at that time which didnt open and in the winter months it would fill up with smoke when they climbed on board and started her up from cold.. I wish they would extend the lines right through to Hull passing through York. You couldnt go North up the coast from Hull as the line that went through Withernsea, Bridlington and Scarborough was closed and torn up when I was a kid but connecting Hull and all the other Stations on the East Coast Line would be wonderful and would bring back so many memories..

Ah, yes. Another trip down memory lane as Squirrel does a scenario based in my old stomping ground when I was but a callow youth. Good times.

Also I can’t wait for RTX to kick in with Sim games, especially when you talk about the lack of light in the cab area at 38:58

If you don't already have it, there's more Class 08 shunting fun in the Tees Valley DLC. I really love that little loco for some reason, it has such a muscular look for such a small thing, like the designers were given a certain size limit and decided to fill every square inch of it.

Not really a train sim type of person but saw leeds so i had to watch it

20:05 can confirm those power plant towers and large buildings aren't there anymore because I live next to the station you went through at that point.

27:13 Last tiime the water collected on the side of the track when I was on a train, there was a temporary speed limit of 5mph.

A Westinghouse brake is hard to beat, even with modern traction. Infitly variable one passed initial. Davis and Metcalfe took some mastering.

Leeds reminds me of jamaica station on the LIRR. You crawl through the junctions there

ahh Huddersfield, my hometown. very accurate to the station and the detail around.

Nice, something from the midlands. I'd love to see one going from Bradford to Keighley if it's available. That's the area my ancestors emigrated from having spent their days working in the wool mills.

15:13 - He says, after spending time taking screenshots instead of managing his speed.

If you get the West somerset railway map, you can use the shunter on passenger services

Fantastic video of a great loco. The power station at Ravensthorpe (just before Dewsbury) has indeed gone as have the small buildings on the platform. The viaduct at Dewsbury is also a lot higher and more impressive than it appears in the game.

I'm from Huddersfield made me laugh when you loaded in and it was raining 😂😂 so accurate plus the people waiting at the platforms for northern rail

There’s still mass amounts of sidings and rail depots littered all over this line from Huddersfield to Leeds and even through to York mate! Shame Huddersfield ain’t what it once was ☹️

Thank you for taking the time to make all those awesome videos. Out of the topic: you have made only one video about TrainZ and I guess I'd love to know why. Thank you very much.

I love the way those old Diesels sound, the rattle and purr of them, its like an eargasm just listening to them lmao! Also when you mentioned the efficiency of them being not great, I think it deserves to be said that, that is taking into account modern times, for its time I'm sure it was top of the line in efficiency and power, the funny thing is, those old engines tend to be a lot more reliable than the modern counterparts, and it's sad that more people don't realize that! I mean some of them have been running for 60, 80, even 100 years, you'll never find that in a new engine, and a modern engine will NEVER sound as good, even if you sank thousands of dollars into it, it just can't match its ancestry on the best parts of what it is at its core!

I always preferred the deltic or class 55 to the class 40 but still a beautiful train

I love the atmosphere and realism in this sim and you do lend the whole experience a certain gravitas! Love your work!

I can remember working on those Mathers pneumatic wipers when I was a ship's Chief Engineer

Waiting for the next EP of SnowRunner. Can't wait!

I used too work on a class 08, up and down back and forward on a little heritage line inbetween rapeseed oil fields 🥺 beautiful

18:47 don't worry it's not to screw with you, it's called approach control. It's to slow you down for the junction. Traffic lights are still scumbags!

I didn't realize you were back. Good to see you :)

Cars? Come on, it's trucks! Great vid, as always.

It's Yorkshire you simply can't knock Yorkshire nor can you knock a class 40 either best looking/sounding loco ever.

Really enjoy your presentations of Train Sim.

Every thought of doing a Stockton - Darlington run. First ever railway 👍

These un-braked freight trains must have been very difficult to control going down hill bunching up against each other and pushing the locomotive. Uphill wasalso challengingmaking sure the vans are stretched out with correct use of power so the couplings were not damaged. I am surprised that there are no guards van as the guard wpuld play an important part in helping with the braking and also taking the strain on the couplings. Very nice video and really enjoy your commentating. The West Somerset Railway has some good shunting scenarios you might like to check out.

The word you were looking for to describe the weather was "British"

Looks fun. Would be a good refresher for me while I'm furloughed if they included airbrake systems and hand brakes etc

Was expecting a snowrunner vid but this is better

I loved driving the shunter train

Love this game! Keep it up squirrel! Question: Have you considered using Reshade? Makes a ton of difference on lighting!

I love this game and I love your channel, you make some amazing videos , lovin this scenario aswell 😊😊😍

The 1st RED is a check signal and you have stop before it goes GRN.

Stopping at the platform for a Driver change is quite normal. :)

How in the heck do you move? I'm at the beginning and in the room with the turn table. I turned the table and lined the track to the train and I'm ready to leave the room and go to the train but I can't get it out. I used the up arrow key to get inside but it won't work when I'm trying to get outside of the building to go to the train. Are there any instructions that tells you what key does what?

11:00 the sound of that engine, wow

Great ride with this old train. You forgot to turn on the aws.

His videos, just perfect!!!

Hope everybody are well and staying safe great vid

Amazing game 10/10 for me,, I would love to see a steam locomotive on it 🚂

good video ... the background looks more realistic in the rain because you don't see the changing trees as you get closer to them and the colors looks more realistic for some reason ... driving an industrial train in England somewhere = very cool and relaxing !!! Too bad the DLC for this game is way too expensive nowadays especially when you usually only get one really good scenario out of the five or so you usually get with each route because the longer scenarios you usually just drive there and then back again { i prefer to go in one direction only } ... the good news is there is a fix somewhere for the trees popping for TSW3 and it's different than the TSW2 fix for the foliage setting whatever it's called in the Unreal Engine engine.ini files { the distance the trees pop can be changed to much farther multiples of distance away and it doesn't seem to be hardly noticeable regarding frames per second ... u just need to use the notepad program for it ... i was using either 3x or 5x distance ... i think 5x is really a good distance with a 1060 or 1070 video card } ... i found that fix a couple months ago { probably on reddit or another forum somewhere } ... also i recommend turn on Vsync because it helps prevent the frame drop like when the game stutters sometimes but vsync was more effective for Dirt Rally 2.0 and solved the frame stuttering at least for that game when everything else was turned off { and if not possible to turn off it was set to low like foliage, track detail etc } ... still it probably helps for TSW3 because it was apparently designed for use with video games ... that's all i know ... i don't remember what the other settings for graphics do { anisotropic filtering and multisampling and TAA for dirt rally 2.0 ... i was going to try to find out today but Vsync worked for at dirt rally 2.0 ... i remember vsync was probably good for frames dropping / lagging in whatever game so I'm not doing any more research / experimenting today ... i see Vsync in the settings for TSW3 though ... i just thought I'd mention it and tested it once for only a minute or two on TSW3 and that's it because I'm going to be busy today ... there still was a frame drop every once in a while so the game is not perfect although my computer could be better too { 1070ti and and i7 processor 3.6 ghz } ... why is it even an option to turn Vsync on / off ? it should probably be permanently on !!! I'm not an expert on games but I'm the biggest expert out of anyone who i know regarding this game ... hehe

Great video squirrel

Ye, Leeds Do Have Freight Good Trains In The Station and They have forklifts going about. Be good if they was abit more mordern and can drive the big northern penniene trains through

Hey Paul are u gonna do more of snowrunner single player or just coop

When he runs all I hear is the Benny Hill Thene.

looks like that blue train from chuggington

You need to stop before coupling up or it will be classed as a collision on the real railway

Every day at work I tell Train Drivers what to do by use of a simple language. Green Double Yellow Single Yellow Red So it’s great to fire up the Play Station and see the job from their view point. Yes preservation railways have saved a lot of the old Diesels. Just as they did for Steam

God damn this game looks good now

Really appreciate your TSW videos. Keep 'em comin', you're the best!

Would you be able to do the Penzance-London Paddington on train sim? I believe it’s in the scenarios of the great western railway. :) love thé vids

+Squirrel i saw the thumbnail and immediately saw chuggington

Good video keep up the good work👍

Who else thinks it's been a while since the last UK content on TSW? All I've been seeing is new American trains with the odd German one

This locomotive just reminded me to Diesel in Thomas and friend 😅😅

Why do I have the sudden urge to paint EVERYTHING in color, full of flowers and psychedelics?

Squirrel, would I be right in saying there was quite a bit of scenery stutter during this run ? What hardware platform is this ?

The reason the brakes are not the best is I doubt the wagons are fitted so the only thing braking is the loco.

Thinking of getting this, are there a lot of English route's on the disc, I'm from Leeds and that station looks great.

"SHUNTMANIA!: There's an idea for your next DLC.

I live in Leeds. Lets watch

now we just need a Boston to Skeg route made for the game :D

You persuaded me to get snow runner

that train is off of chugintun

The great escape 😊

can you turn up half an hour late and go on strike whenever you want like real UK train companies?

Hi, Your train sim videos are good. Keep it up.

11:12 HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYONE!

Hey squirrel I was wondering if you are going to continue the my summer car series anytime soon?

Have you though of letting the developer of American and euro truck combine forces with Microsoft flight simulator 2020? They can transfer their trucks and rebuild the real digital world and start a flowing economy in that game! Truckers will be driving real roads instead of scaled down roads! I would love to see this happen!

I enjoyed your journey and running commentary very much, camera movement a bit jerky. I kept turning my head to look out the side window, thanks for your effort.

So in the UK, cars drive on the left, trains still drive on the right?

I can confirm that the knowledge is being passed on and the heritage railway I am on and plenty of others have a dedicated younger set of volunteers we as a community are always looking for new people young, old, Male, female or whatever you identify as please look up your heritage railway and lend a hand or give a small donation as Squirrel said the operating costs are huge and with out you the general public we will not be able to survive.

I've just started playing TSW2. What DLC would you recommend?

this game needs vr support
