Brian, thank you VERY much for this tutorial. Brilliant. That's so simple for a driver to offer, but so useful for an ethusiast to see. If only they were all like you. 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤so that is what it like inside a cab of a class 66 locomotive! I love a freight train ❤ thank you ☺️ for giving us the guide tour your fanatic class 66 locomotive
A brilliant video, I am only an enthusiast and always been a Brittania fan. I just love the 66s ( sheds ) and I have 8 models in various liveries. I also have an ‘O’ gauge one on Pre Order named Evening Star in the BR green livery, a model by DAPOL due the end of this year. This is one video I will be saving. All the best to you and thank you for giving us your time to share your experience in the 66 CAB. From Ron.
Great information for the class 66 on train sim. I retired from British Rail when it was privatised so all the loco's in my area where class 37's with a few class 60's.
The Slow Speed control will only control traction power and does not control braking at all, therefore if on a falling gradient you must control your train speed using the brake. Slow speed only works up to 11mph. GSM-r (REC) only needs to be pressed once not twice. Auto start Stop will restart the loco once battery volts become lower than a pre set threshold also if main res drops below a pre determined level (just above 6 bar).
See there are few minor differences in the cab on freightliner 66's from the DB 66's I'm use to , is that a lock on the Q Tron ? do they still use card to download ? we always used laptop . Also even though Q Tron can hold data for up to 6 months ,in reality it's over written in few days of normal Loco usage ,as memory is very small
@@Traindriverbrian1 Ah , ok, thanks :) I really like the style of these Class 66's. If I were rich enough to start a short line, I would certainly buy a few of them.
You are confusing the main res ( always 7bar) with the brake pipe, quite shocking! Just for future reference the main res is the yellow pipe each end of the locomotive for wagons with pneumatic doors and the brake pipe is the red one 😂. Hit me up if you need any more information
Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very informative - thank you.

Thank you love these😊
Found your channel by chance. Love your attitude bro. Will be enjoying your uploads!
Excellent again thank you 👍
Vary well done and I enjoyed the view also.
No DB on class 66? I’m surprised.
Really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing
after mashing the "train length" button repeatedly to no effect on train sim I finally know what it's actually for, great vid
very interesting video, thank you
Grate video Brian
I loved this video mate
Love the videos
great video

Cheers Darren it’s been a long while since my 66 course
Or attempt to restart loco when one of the starter motors has stuck , like they regularly do
👍🏻

I am surprised there aren't more gauges : Engine Coolant temp/ Oil pressure/ Oil temp. / Engine RPM
It’s in the computer above the drivers head
All that information is available but isn’t needed for general running

loving the content but one friendly correction ditton is in halton not merseyside
Very true it is
And 4 miles from where I am

I know but once I’d filmed it I didn’t redo it
Did I say main res was red? God I must have been tired
You say “ the main res pipe is at 7 bar as the brakes are applied “ one of many inaccurate statements.
Notice the 66 class don't have dynamic braking.
No the 70’s do but to save costs was never specified it and all uk locos are based off that initial design
Does any one on here know whats happened to rachel and shaun / angel of crewe.
This is so cool
