Badger on Tour! Part 3 | BR Class 89 | East Coast Main Line

With the 89 and HST side-by-side, it's time to give the spotters and passengers a railtour to remember... let's have a race, have a race, have a race!

A class 89 in a Grand Central livery would extremely fit the train.

[@jameslee7117]

I hope in the future it's ic swallow livery will be changed to grand central.

I had a friend who was working for an electronics concern contracted to British railways who was part of the Advanced Passenger Train project.
One of the "spin offs " from that was the speed selection system used on Avocet (89001) ... basically a "cruise control " like a car would have but the intention was to have a fully integrated system based on CAPT with trackside radio balises giving line speed and advanced signal indications in cab.

[@MontytheHorse]

When I think of Azuma, Satsuma comes to mind! :-D
I like to imagine that after the end of this scenario, that the tour will go on to Leeds. As that's where the 89 operated to when she was in service.

[@Snivy_Films]

I dont know why, but i just felt like it was like "Start your engines!" and the HST Just clags up and the Class 89 is just there, then the signal lights swap to green at the same time, having both of the railtours racing off

[@ec8451]

Those trainspotters are in for a real treat!

[@MrRobertacusYouTube]

The thumbnail and intro is the best thing I’ve ever seen

[@gabri_maybe]

Every time you take a shot of the train passing,the Trains intro song always plays in my mind

[@Moleman978]

Maybe I should do a virtual trains video one day lol

[@gabri_maybe]

@@Moleman978 hmmm... Good idea,probably useful when you run out of scenarios to drive lol

[@mattclass9176]

The Railworld at Peterborough is next to the NVR terminus there, by the two girder bridges. There’s also a really cool model shop called “Trains4U” too. Deffo worth a visit!

[@Nathan_A_RF]

This just makes me want a scenario of the 4 trains event they did near York with a HST, IC225, Flying Scotsman and an Azuma travelling together down the line at a slow pace

[@Trainspotter11_]

Another brilliant video Moleman! I really enjoyed this :)

[@SlowLineTrainspotting]

14:02 The only one I have seen is not ONE Anglia but the livery that 66587 is in, the Ocean Network Express Pink

[@jensen1909]

Maybe you could create your own scenario where you continue north, perhaps to york, but with a different loco at the front? Great video - I hope the 89 actually does a railtour like this someday too, i'd definitely see it!

[@FTom-xb2ov]

so cool! love your vids mate!

[@arturzya630]

I love all the liverys for the 89 wish they were in ts

[@panisvit7123]

Random YY between Huntingdon and Peterborough - you would have caught up with the HST on the climb out of Huntingdon as they struggle to maintain speed. It was probably only running just in front of you most of the way.

[@alisonrawlings6679]

Ooo this has made my holiday Moleman!

[@scubajoe3321]

Finally found your channel last video I saw is when you released the keddie consignment

[@TheSpotify95]

Great video :) it's a shame you couldn't run side by side with the HST for the entire route :)
P.S. the random double yellow was likely you catching up to the HST :)

[@tapchangerproductions]

Because of the 125 TS speed glitch, if I use speed set I always set it to 120.

[@benaviani-bartram8255]

i have before tested the 125 thing (on ecml south funnily enough) and what it seems is that at above 115 there's a disparity - if you bring up the stats it'll show you to 0.1mph what you're travelling at and when it's just gone 125 on the speedometer at the bottom the stats say 125.9.

[@Lighting_Desk]

Noice HST. A fun video idea / challenge could be a pacer on the main line?

[@ryanworthvalley]

Great video again moleman how and what do you use to create or get the loco bodies so you can design the liveries in them keep up the great work.

[@CaptainHugh_Hts]

You could do you loco as steam next to the Hst and then as the Azuma is coming through you take screenshot

[@Beastlysimmer_uk]

[@terrier_productions]

No.. Covid didn’t enter the UK until late February - early March 2020.. the LNER HST railtour was December 2019

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Hiya moleman, wondering if you could do a video on the new Welsh Marches route? It's a lovely line and I would like to see maybe a TFW- ex ATW on the line, thanks if so

[@lv-ag6129]

Which of these trains do you like more?
Class 89
Class 43

[@TheSpotify95]

43 - though I haven't seen the 89 in real life :p

[@swiss-eg3rp]

89+43

[@intercity2259]

Can you do a run with the the 89 in the GCR livery at some point

[@conallplatts3039]

Drinking Game: take a shot every time moleman says "that's it"

[@conallplatts3039]

31:44- then you could have 89/2s that are basically the 89 shape of a class 82 dvt

[@jcrailwayvideos6588]

Fun fact: Azuma means "East" in Japanese. Little bit of a clue as to why they chose that name :D

[@shawnd-v1660]

Can you do a deltic mini series?

[@Ethanpick]

where did you get the reskin for the hull trains 802?

[@theflippedpacer2429]

Simvue

Simvue (blue rail studios)

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Simvue, they make LNER, TPE and Hulltrains ones as well!

[@Mrtestdrivex]

Hate to be pedantic but Mk1 and 2s were never rated for 125mph running

[@luckyapplemo2256]

AH A RUNAWAY HST oh wait the driver is going backwards lol

[@NSE465]

I prefer the 89 over the HST tbh.

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Hi NSE, I think I know you, but I'm not sure. I see you in the comments on every vid lol

[@Southerntrainspotter315]

Hey moleman how do you pause it and move the camera

[@tizzer390]

Mk2 aren’t permitted for speeds over 100mph.

[@Moleman978]

And as I stated in part 2, if I get the chance to go fast I will, regardless of the Mk2's speed limit :P

[@tizzer390]

Moleman978 lol ok 😂

[@TheSpotify95]

One must also remember that the scenario would have likely had Mk3s in it, and Moleman replaced the Mk3s with Mk2s.

[@TheSpotify95]

@@Moleman978 Speedrun time! :)

[@jeffrooney9019]

do you use 32 Bit or 64 Bit for TS

[@jamieplaysagamie]

I hate how the simvue GTR 387 reskins don't use the panto. It ruins the realism a bit.

[@Moleman978]

First of all, they are the Superalbs 387 skin, and secondly, I'm pretty sure the pantographs are only down because of how I swapped the trains in the scenario (quickly) so they're all using the coach that defaults to the panto being down instead of up

will you do any tsw 2?

Of course!
