Excellent vid, Rhys. I look forward to seeing how the other entrants do, although sadly I won't be able to participate myself as I do not own the Bristol-Exeter route, nor the money to buy it.

I do have two questions: 1. Do entrants have to fire the engines manually, or can they attempt it with the automatic fireman? & 2. Kind of a n00b question, but how do you switch between Tornado's 2 whistles?

@sirrliv, Yo dude, sorry to hear you cannot enter the competition. Maybe one day eh? You dont have to manually fire it, you can definitely use the auto if you wish. I use the manual because I prefer doing it, and I have been doing so for many years. And tornados 2 whistles, Spacebar for the A4 whistle, and the B button for the other whistle. You need to switch it on and off again to start and stop the whistle.

Hi Rhys big fan of the videos especially GTSE, do you rekon you could make a video about how to fire the stock engines (black 5 etc) manually thanks

Wait wait wait.

Something doesn't look right about that time, you sure you calculated it right?

Surely if you left at 00 Seconds and arrived at 11 Seconds it should be 11 not 49?

Also 59 - 3 is 56 not 55.

I once got a british steam locomotive to go down the steepest track of the cajon pass in Rail Simulator at over 130 MPH.
