Your videos are some of the most relaxing on TH-cam, perfect with a cup of tea. Thank you for making amazing content, Squirrel!
AND A HOB NOB
To be fair, I'd watch cannibals eating babies, if there were Hob Nobs available.
I so agree 100%
Yes exactly... No music, no constant cutting, just a 1 take (mostly) video and it's so relaxing and great, and very fun and interesting to watch!
Chocolate ones though right?
I'm from Reading- it's awesome to see the RDG-oxford route in the colours of engines when I was young enough to be kayaking on the river next to tilehurst station and visiting friends who live close to Pangbourne. then there are the memories of visiting Didcot as a child for the steam railway they had/have there.
Thanks for the flashbacks :)
Nice to have train simulator back. Do more of these videos
My uncle was a 1st north western driver for 10 years, yes they do all know each other. He drove Holyhead - Chester/Crewe. At the end of the shifts they ride back in groups haha. Even the guards and ticket officers get involved. Like one big family. My other uncle was a steam coal man before WW2. During WW2 he learned to drive tanks and HGV's so much so he automatically got his HGV licence and Drove trucks the rest of his life. Ill never forget he reversed his truck with tanker into my aunties urban street, so tight it was unreal.
Great to have the variety back Paul! Hope you're enjoying your break!
That marshalling area near oxford is usually quite empty, but it usually has a rail/ballast replacement vehicle sat there at least and occasionally a freight train.
Always a treat to come home after a long day and relax with a squirrel video :D Please never stop uploading
What if he passes?
+Fresh Gaming thats a bit harsh.
so long as he passes after i do.
The guy in the back is kind-of accurate, as that's usually where the conductor lives when he's not collecting tickets or working the doors, at least that's how it was on Northern Rail trains I used from Colne...
Farming Sim 17 looks absolutly amazing
Another great video Squirrel, you are one of a select few who inspired me to start up my own channel. Thank you for providing us with great content on a regular basis. You are a champion!
A refreshing reminder that even guys as good as you screw things up! GG!
The BR Class 166 is powered by a 350 hp Diesel engine coupled to a hydraulic transmission, powering 2 axles on each car via a drive shaft and final drives. The transmission device would switch from hydraulic mode into mechanic mode at around 50 mph, linking the engine, drive shaft, final drive and axles mechanically, hence the drop in engine RPM while accelerating.
It was quite cool to see some of my local area :D
Three of the cooling towers at Didcot Power Station A were demolished two years ago. Part of the boilerhouse was demolished a few months after that. Half of what was left of the boilerhouse collapsed in February of this year and what was still standing was demolished in July. There are still three cooling towers and a few chimneys, as well as the still active Didcot Power Station B.
The quarry at 29:00 was just that, not sure why it looks like it was filled with water though since it is active in real life. There's a landfill site nearby too.
Great video glad to see more train sim on the channel keep up the good vids paul
Actually Paul, you can say it with Euro Truck. I remember when you were driving around near London somewhere and SCS added a water-tower that you recognized into the map.
nice to see train sim back on the channel keep it up! good for as usual
Great video!! Some very valid and interesting points made about train simulator.
thanks for the trucking videos squirrel they've helped me with my truck simulator games
That intro does things to my body.
Great to see you playin' in TS2016. The reason a lot of switches in the cab of this train don't work, is most likely because this train (and route) is one of the default trains that came with Kuju Rail Simulator from back around 2008. I heard that the TS group won't be attending any gaming events due to lack of funding. That's just what I heard, I'm not trying to start rumors. Anyway, great video as always, Paul!
PS: The Class 166 is the Renault of the train world. ;-)
do you simulate delays from strikes?
looooooool
You simulate Southern Rail by not running the mission at all.
+Lukeno52 Or the French /s
Ivan Alfaro
Nah, to simulate the French, you have to deliberately drive in the wrong direction.
Yes yes
On the physics of the class 166: I've been on these trains a lot irl (they operate into Paddington and Marylebone, my two local commuter lines)
They actually accelerate faster in real life than in the game - the simulation gives weirdly non linear acceleration as if the engine takes ages to throttle up, which it shouldn't (between Twyford and Maidenhead stations the real trains get right up to the rev limiter, 90mph). However the braking seems pretty realistic - actual GWR drivers tend to be pretty cautious when slowing for stations. I've found in order to stop well you need to be doing 25-30 mph on full service braking to stop in the middle of the platform.
I'd recommend looking for steam workshop scenarios for this route as some of them are MUCH better than the stock ones (search "no sleep till London", that one's excellent but long).
the new remix of squirrel’s intro
Very entertaining vid as always. I recently bought this route and am glad it is not just me struggling with the timetable!
Loved that Knebworth
I love these videos, Squirrel is the best!!!
I love the new intro
I haven't watched any of your videos in like 2 months
I live very close to Oxford and Didcot and they both looked very authentic and realistic
I managed to find a way to get to Tilehurst 3 about 10 seconds before due time using trail and error judgement and a lot of luck regarding timing. Soon as the game starts at Reading instantly reverse the train at the station before anything else for about 20-30 odd yards backwards then break quickly at 84%. Soon as it stops quickly allow the passengers on. Push direction forward but don't move until you hear the doors shut. At the same time judge the Class 47 train ahead causing the red light, especially the last waggon when clear changing track. Open the 166 up whilst the lights are still red and hope you get around 8 to 10mph leaving Reading passing the light just as it changes. Have tried everything even putting the Sander on but haven't found a method after arriving at the first two stations of keeping time after that.
the actual score here was -142 crazy deduction of points!
Squirrel plz plz plz do a flight in a airbus a320 from Edmonton(yeg) to Vancouver (yvr) thanks
0% sex
0% nudity
100% EPICNESS!
Hey Squirrel nice video and keep up the good work
Very well done mr. Squirrel
It's funny I started watching you and hated train sim, now it's probably my favorite TH-cam series you do
I know people who worked anf drove these units in the late br era
The chiltern units are far better accelerating the 165/0s only 75mph due to the gradients on the route. The 166s and other 165s are very slow at accelerating in real life but their brakes are very good. Very poorly modelled in train simulator. However braking and acceleration are very accurate. Lots of them have had incidents over the years but they are some of the most reliable diesel units on the British rail network to this day. Big fan of your videos thanks for uploading.
i was on this line trackside two weeks ago they are electrifying the track between reading to oxford .
The hell with that huge gap between the train and the platform
They might have had tea, you never know.
You barly ever stop at Appleford, Culham and Radley on all those stoppers, What they d in real life is the drivers get the revs up with the brakes on and then they get nippy acceleration! :)
I just gotta say I LOVE the new intro!!!
What’s the name
Yes more train sim!
brilliant introduction man
Love the fact that he overshot the station, tried to get away with it by reversing but got penalised anyway.
lol. Another good video from Mr. Squirrel him self.
This is a passenger announcement please make your way to the back of the train as we are going to miss the station
Lol
"All passengers, please hold onto your testicles and pray for the brakes to be strong enough in the next half mile."
I like that one
If only all game developers followed the example led by SCS who update their game over time, instead of forcing paid upgrades.
+Harbinger of sorrow it was like that before ts2016 before dovetail owned it, then when they bought the franchise it was a paid upgrade which was little difference to the old one
Huh? Dovetail has owned train sim since forever. They were Rail Sim or something like that and rebranded last year or in late 2014 to Dovetail Games, but it's still the same company and the 2015 and 2016 major game updates were still free.
New scenarios and locos etc. though were always extra.
+Michael Kalus lol woops but I have rail sim and it says ea on it D:
Those updates are only funded by the extras (Cabin DLC and Griffin DLC and alike) that they bring out ;) .. But I am not going to complain, I love ETS :)
Lucia Drake I just think the way SCS do it is more noble. For instance, all new trucks are free updates and the game comes with sufficient content before buying any dlc.
To anyone reading this: There is a route called Cajon Pass (for those of who don't know) it cost 40 dollars on launch and now you can get it for 9 dollars, I am not joking this true. There is no sale going on so it is going remain for 9 dollars. This might not last, I'm not sure. But you can quickly get it for only 9 dollars.
Your the best keep up the simulators
I love your train sim videos
FINALLY A TRAIN SUMULATION
I love your videos they are better than some youtubers with millions of subscribers
holy crap that intro is awesome!
Gotta love the Intro there Mr Squirrel :)
What the song name
Nice new introduction clip
i love your new intro Squirrel
Love the intro
Awesome intro Squirrel
Love the new intro
Still loving the new intro
new intro is very awesome
LOVE NEW INTRO :P
YAY MORE TS2016!!!'im really happy now :P
You should try to find a Norwegian scenario. We might not have a track along the western coast. We might not have a line further from Oslo than Bodø. But what we do have, are the great 72 and 73! They slide quickly along the southern line with all the speed the terrible terrain will allow them - but dang it, we never give up! We can accelerate like mad and break so hard gran will spill her coffee.
Ungå en 166 - Ta 73 toget
But seriously, my local (Stavanger) train time table is incredibly lenient. I often take the train back and forth to kill an hour. I did it today, - just after the morning rush. The train was going at maybe 75% speed or less and it was on schedule. The is apparently some scenarios - though, I con`t have the game so I can`t test it. Wish it was good, because the type 73 (ICE) and 72 (Local) are fast and agile (120-160 kph with top speed of 210 around Oslo-Gardemoen.)
Finally, some more Train Sim - its been far too long :D
It is my daily commute route LOL, from Radley to Oxford, only a 6 minutes journey.
It usual gets to Radley at about 0842 instead of 0831
31:02 LOL! I live in the U.S but I have heard about that power station I believe the cooling towers are still there.
I love your videos
I've always found getting gold in this scenario impossible without moving off before the doors have shut
Its always commutertrains that is late and stuff. Its never the trams, the busses, the metro, the boats. Its always commutertrains.
I love the new intro
Accelerated on 10% braking and decelerated under 79% throttle
your my favorite sim youtuber
Nice =)
The reason there are so many flaws with this DMU and Route are due to the fact this was included in the original 2009 Release of Railworks.
I know, Squirrel seems to manage to play all the old routes and trains.
New INTRO = BAD ASS
Enjoying the return to Train Sim very much!
Hahaha... Career mode is totally brutal squirrel. To be honest, the 3rd party dlc is usually better quality than the dovetail stuff.... re-edit, u just totally said it. Glad you did.
you're the best gamer
Has anybody seen/heard about the herne bay plane crash?
Thankfully the pilot survived.
I seem to remember a long while back, there was an unofficial patch for the 166 released, as the acc and brakes are not right. I remember this scenario as well and I believe the timings are unachievable. Enjoying hearing your opinions on DTG, you sum them up very well. IMO, they're, lazy, slack in their offerings & are uninterested in the end user and other companies, DLC show them up, time and time again.
didcot power station is still there, they only removed one of the boilers and it's cooling towers.
Wil the video the 10 nicest routes to drive in ets2 ever come?
Subscribed
I love ur new intro
At the minuet April 2018. Didcot power station still exists but they are blowing it up soon
3:14 Pensive man!
It just proves your human Paul haha
Some trains IRL have drivers at the front and back though.
Anyone know a site where I could safely and easily download a demo of this game please. I would love to give it a go!
Nice intro :)
About new train simulator: delayed game releases are not an uncommon thing in game industry.
Is this a new intro? It looks awesome!
I've actually been on a platform when a commuter train I was waiting on missed the platform.
Squirrel- at Games Con are you allowed to film in there, will you be making any videos of your visit?
Keep going
I think I failed this route 3 or 4 times (with a lot of time between (rage quit)) before I finally redid it in the same day just so I could remember how the engine worked.
In Euro Truck the Town of Nynäshamn looks very realistic
squirrel the reason why the class 166 is not good is because it was released during the train sim younger days with old graphic engines and stuff
Would you ever consider doing the Victoria to Brighton route! Would be good to see as I use that service quite often!
