Goods to Leeds - Class 40 - Train Sim World 2020

MY GAME MODS (One tab per game)

[XSeDanX]

This DLC is set in the year 1983 (explains all the industries then in Northern England) and that exact loco was withdrawn from service two years later simply because it expired its lifespan, presumably 25 years.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

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

[muddysledge]

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.

@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.

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

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

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.

[larkinggames]

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

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!

[matthewmcmahon]

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

[Snacksaloon]

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

[OMGLOL]

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.

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.

[Hariboe]

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.

[Molkalda]

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

[diamarker]

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.

[thefutilerogue]

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

[SirNigelGresley]

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.

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