- The Peak Forest route has been released for dovetail games train sim world 3. Featuring 3 new steam locomotives and realistic steam train operations, the Railway Line is based in the 1960s
Rather than staring down the boiler of a steam engine, we are taking a class 101 out for a drive so we can appreciate the amazing scenery of this route. - Zábava
I’m really glad you’ve done this in a Class 101. I spent twenty years of my life travelling to work every day from Ambergate to Derby so I’m quite happy to see the Peak Forest route ‘as it was’.
I love the TS20xx MML version from Matlock to Leicester/Lincoln. That was my daily commute so it’s lovely to see some of it done in TSW4
Edit: Because I forgot to say thanks for the upload
I created my own scenario from Ambergate to Buxton in the 101 with loads of AI. I’m addicted!
Another edit: I’m yet to even try steam. It has zero interest to me
I have no knowledge, or interest in Trains, BUT thoroughly enjoyed this. You have peaked my interest.
Was that pun intended? 😂
@@LWrail no, I did really enjoy this.
You're welcome to your Bakewell tarts. If it's the genuine thing from Bakewell it's a Bakewell pudding - different animal. But thanks for showing the route. Spent many happy hours as a teenager cycling in the area and on the bridge at Bakewell watching steam passing through and shunting the yard. This certainly brings back great memories of the line. Currently still wondering - as an old codger - if I could grasp this simulator. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks DadRail.
Love your streams, great idea running the 101 on here. We need some BR GREEEEEN on here dtg. Would make a good routs EPIC.
This was my favourite route on the original train simulator. So very pleased to see a up to date modern build of this line in this era.
The funny structure near Rowsley Station is a spray pond condenser according to an old map. The building next to it was a dairy so assume it was used for cooling.
I wonder who is going to be the first person to run a Peak on the Peak Forest
Probably Dave Punsby
30:43 you said it correctly the first time... Never use the 2nd one the locals will hammer you for it LOL
That start has got to be worth tea with at least three biscuits.
I'll make a start similar to that when I get this route, if it gets me biscuits. I'm starving!
♥ this, pure historical immersion - superbly modelled infrastructure, landscaping and sounds and of course, the locos are always finally modelled. Thanks for showcasing it, Richard.
I really value your and TrainSimulatorDrivers real world driver's insight 🙏
Completely agree with your choice of using the 101, one of the first models DTG produced and beautifully modelled. As the saviours of branch line operations, they were widespread in the UK, but this route became the home of the more powerful 104 variant, due to the gradients. They had lighter chassis and I think they used additional centre power cars, so much greater power to weight ratio.
I love the steam-diesel transition era due to the scope it gives for running steam, BR green and BR blue consists, even if not perfectly accurate date wise - I'm no rivet counter.
I hope DTG release a BR green pack, with the existing 101, 45, 40, 37, 33, 09, 08. The Peak '45s are absolutely right for main line Manchester-London expresses (the clue's in the name), the 37s were used on the limestone traffic, and no doubt there were 08s around shunting.
I didn't know barrow crossings had a name 👍
I must say, Peak Forest is a pretty route and I might well end up getting it. I've only just got into the SEML for TSC that you ran on this channel ages ago haha. The run from Charing Cross to Lewisham being one I've wanted to see in a sim for donkeys years. I do like gritty urban routes though - personal bias.
Really loved the hilly scenery at 9:50 just before the tunnel in this video though.
20:57 it's so cool seeing this with a train going over the bridge and through the tunnel cause nowadays this is all just a long hiking trail called "Monsal Trail" (walked through the tunnel a couple days ago actually)
Mate I got totally stuck rolling backwards at Ambergate in a 101. The AI worked well though.
I can’t remember what I’d forgotten to do at the back end but it was a biggie 😂
Looks really nice but I'm not so much into steam more a 70s theme is to my taste but there are of course ppl who love steam and I hope they enjoy the route, I will probably buy it when it comes on a good offer. I don't think the 101 would have operated the route and if it did would have been green with a M suffix on the number, during BR blue days (70s) this section was already gone however there was an allocation of class 104s based at Buxton (BX) depot and not knowing the area assume the other station in the background at Buxton is the current location but I don't know
Totally enjoyed you running the 101 on here makes it so much more enjoyable to run the route . Guessing would have been in green livery , sure someone will create if not already done . Also the class 45 would have run on this route at this time .
I do struggle with steam from an enjoyment perspective as you have to use outside camera's all the time to appreciate the scenery of the route .
I love steam and head out of the window driving was standard practise and how I drive (available by cycling through the various cab view options) and like you, I also make a lot of use of the external boom camera. Thinking about it, I even do this a lot on modern trains. Being able to see the scenery is 50% of the experience for me.
@@Daytona2 Fair comment and head out does give a different perspective . This is a fabulous route which ever way you drive it
This, together with MML, are my home routes. I’ve walked the length of this whole route hundreds of times. I’m looking forward to seeing Monsal Head viaduct (saw it at about 18:20). I had my wedding reception across the road from Ambergate station!
That Buxton station is a completely different beast to the modern (and much smaller station), though the modern route to Buxton is still signalled under absolute block rules for much of its length, including what I am told is the busiest section of absolute block signalling on the railway at Stockport. It also has a non-block level crossing at Norbury Hollow between Hazel Grove and Middlewood, a very rare sight these days.
You also wouldn't be the first driver to have a runaway at Buxton. There have been two from there that I know of. The first one from many years ago where driver John Axon was awarded a posthumous George Cross for his actions to try to regain control of a steam loco which had a complete brake failure and ran away, eventually crashing, there's a plaque commemorating him at one of the stations on the line. The other one was a more modern one where a class 150 being prepped at Buxton ran away when the brake res failed to pressurise as the main res built pressure. This resulted in the parking brake coming off but there being no pressure in the brake pipe to put the service brake on. Luckilly it didn't get too far because the gradient switches from falling to rising just outside the station, but I imagine that driver had a very unplesant surprise when that train just rolled off on him.
As for the banking engines, I don't think it's done as general practice there any more (I'd have to ask one of my friends who drives at Peak Forest to be sure), but I know for a fact they had to deploy one a couple of years back due to a frieght getting stuck at the bottom of the rather steep climb from Furness Vale up to Buxton during leaf fall season.
Good to see the absolute block system I’m sure u remember that was the setup between Hastings-Eastbourne a few years back 👍 , think the only remaining semaphores in the area now are at Hastings station
Like the retro 50’s road vehicles .
Looks very realistic; interesting to see the old Buxton Midland and Peak line with track. I've visited Buxton and the Monsal Trail regularly, the route this train takes!
Cromford station is on the cover of Oasis’ Some Might Say single cover. 48:40
Few lads I know sign out to Peak. And a couple based there (colleagues of ours). Would be interested to see what they make of it actually but don’t think they do any train sim gaming.
It looks really well modelled though, and out that way is a beautiful part of the world.
For the forums the 101 did run but the current version wasn't quite correct in livery, interior etc.
A lot of people would've accepted a reskinned 101 in the right livery though. Would also let us have the millers dale shuttle and maybe some local services 🙂
I'd be fine with just the livery that is currently on it. Granted I am American lol
My guess is that they’ll probably release a BR Green pack for this and charge like 10 bucks or something
Good overview.
Very nice scenic route and has the potential to become one of my favourites.
However there are some caveats as you touched on in the clip and discussed at length on the DTG forum.
First off the lighting, as you said it is quite awful and looks more like a Unity game (DRS!) than a UE4 title. They really need to get a handle on that and stop indulging whoever on their team thinks this is how the worrld looks...
It should have gone to Derby. Ambergate is a totally illogical place to end the route, it is literally a junction in the middle of nowhere.
Diesels - by the time this route was set, diesel traction had made significant inroads. Class 44's and 45's were working many of the express services, should have got a slightly reworked Class 45 in green livery for the route. Since 1957 the Buxton to Miller's Dale shuttle was worked by DMU's mainly Class 104's. As you demonstrated on your run the route is perfect for DMU operation and if a Class 104 was too much, a reskinned and interiored Class 101 would have sufficed. DTG's solution was to omit the local shuttle entirely and instead give us 4 coach trains from Buxton to Chinley, hauled by a Jubilee.
Still no buffet or restaurant cars for the Mark One formations.
Steam traction in TSW is still a shadow of the equivalent in TSC, both in terms of physics and sounds.
Overall I would rate it 7.5/10 based on what I've experienced so far, but think I'll be spending more time driving diesels than the kettles. Currently doing a Class 45 in the Up direction and quite magnificent (bar the lighting and eggshell gloss over everything).
21:01 it’s a shame Monsal Head pub isn’t modelled
A fine effort from DTG to produce a good rendition. As a steam era scenario the platform clutter is good although from my memory in real life there was an abundance of 4 wheel platform trolleys where we would sit to do our train spotting. There are water columns at some platforms but do they work? I was surprised there was no water columns at the large yards. Would liked to see the engine shed or turntable if it has one. You could use the triangle to turn the steam engine in the opposite direction.
that signal on the bridge is for the guard to see what the starter signal is as the guard cant see the signal, as its around the bend
That makes sense thank you :-)
Stunning route. Megga hours of work in that. £30 ish doesn’t seem too bad.
Speed on 395 still wrong when slowing, they haven’t fixed it yet. Flashes current speed instead of target speed.
Credit where due, they have done well. The flashing of the current speed is correct. It’s a warning to expect a further reduction in speed at the next marker board
media.dovetailgames.com/Train%20Sim%20World%202%20Southeastern%20High%20Speed%20Driver's%20Manual%20EN.pdf
@@DadRail should it not show the target speed, and flashing indicates-as you say-a further reduction? I did report it and sent a video. It was accepted by the reviewers and passed to DT.
@@peterjones6733 at the start of the speed reduction it will blink with the current speed limit. At the next TVM signal it will show the target speed which needs to be reached before the next TVM signal. Is that what you're talking about or is it a different bug?
Epic.
Maybe they'll add a dlc for the route and give us Class 45 and 101 in green?!
Do you ever go past the old Peak Forest station on one of your freight routes? Lots of quarry traffic there.
Richard has published a video of one of his colleagues on the former LNWR quarry route out of Buxton - he took a really roundabout route up to Manchester to get to Crewe (I think it was), to avoid the need for more than one run around.
What spec pc do u need to run something like this dadrail? Haven’t bought a pc for years so I’m bit out of touch , so love the look of these new train sims , look and sound soo realistic!
I'm not Dad Rail but here are details from Steam page below:
Minimum recommendations from Steam:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690 @ 3.5 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X @ 3.7 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 460 with 2 GB VRAM or more
I run a PC similar to this and it runs fine with very little stutter at all. My graphics card is a bit more beefy but TSW runs better on my PC than TSC does sometimes.
It also runs fantastically on the PlayStation 5
CTRL-A or D changes gear up or down.
Need some diesel power in the DLC
The intro changed a bit
Remember dad rail, you cant drive a locomotive, you operate it😂
Any Japanese maps? Those trains are futuristic
