This is one of the reasons why in BR days, they very rarely shut the engines down with the exception for maintenance/repairs. They're very stubborn to start up again in the cold! Looks spectacular, mind you!

The white smoke is because of overfueling on cold start. The flash is just unburnt fuel igniting in turbine of the turbo. Once they warm up the clag will go. If they have been standing a while there could be a bit of engine oil from turbo bearings in the exhaust but it soon burns off.

@beeble200315 жыл бұрын
Water vapour and carbon dioxide are invisible. Diesel engines work by compressing the air in the cylinder, which heats it enough to burn the injected fuel. However, when a large engine block like this is cold, that big lump of cold metal prevents the air heating enough so the fuel doesn't burn. This unburnt fuel is ejected through the exhaust, as in the video.. If you believe otherwise, please explain why your gas oven doesn't emit billowing clouds of steam when it burns methane (CH4) in air.

I'm probably going to take a lot of flack for this, but I fail to see the appeal of these old Deltic Locomotives. They run rich, they pulsate, and they throw plumes of smoke. If the US had locomotives like the Deltics, the USEPA would be imposing multi-million fines upon the Owners of the Class-1 Railroads.

Maybe because they are a reminder of a different era. Old radial energies have a similar following. They sound like Harley-Davidson motorcycles and spit out clouds of smoke when they start up.

@tombaker122214 жыл бұрын
@MatthewDavidParr No they're not. You don't run a water vapour engine, you run a steam engine. It's an invisible elasticated gas, the whole design of the superheater in later steam loco designs was to elasticate it more so you got more energy from less steam making them more efficient.
@tombaker122214 жыл бұрын
@theberengersniper Alot of it is automated. The driver has to turn the electrics on, then start the priming which is the whine you hear before the engine starts, then press the start button and keep it down until the engine fires properly. So he is involved, just not hand cranking it or anything.
@formidable3814 жыл бұрын
Its hot exhaust gas blowing past the exhaust valve seats, (poor seal) this then ignites unburnt atomised diesel fuel vapour in the exhaust stacks and turbo's. 37's were notorious for it.

@trainfanatic1100 They were indeed the Class 37 English Electric locomotives inherited by WC when they bought the freight operators of GB. Sadly, WC (English Welsh & Scottish Railways) are no morein the UK having been sold to DB of Germany. There are still some Class 37`s still in use but mainly they have been displaced by General Motors Class 66`s and General Electric Class 70`s.
