Crazy COLD STARTING UP DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE Engines and Smoke 3

[@ianjohnson4753]

Love them Takes me back to my younger days. Raw power in those licomotives

[@stuartbromley5328]

You can't beat a bit of clag ,and I love the class 37...my all time favourite

[@martingabrielrodriguezdosa8010]

Pobre medio ambiente😅😅😂

[@nigelterry9299]

Some lovely grumpy starts from the EEs, 37219 especially!!

[@tractorsandengines]

Do you like these Diesel Locomotives ? :)

[@tyronlemons5203]

I like everything diesel

[@williamobrien282]

I miss them.

[@justinobrien3593]

you can't beat a chopper/class 31/37 firing up with plenty of clagg and noise its hell fire class 37s are my favourite locomotive starting up as they're beasts 🥰😍🤩

[@justinobrien3593]

Good video of these monsters coking to life 🥰😍🤩

[@justinobrien3593]

the class 37 at 3.30 is just hell fire 🔥🔥🔥 fire coming from the exhaust's 🔥🔥🔥🤩😍🥰

[@123LooKey]

Absolutely love the video!! I dunno how many times i coughed watching the locos starting 😂😂 had they all been made by vw emissions wouldn't of been an issue they would of had them sorted!! 🤦 someone said about the locos cold starting....i did read some where that back in the day BR kept locos running during cold weather/weekends for fear of them not starting or taking for ever to come to life,things we take for granted almost today turning a key pressing a button and its ready to go but can only imagine what a train was like to start in the cold 🥶🥶 cars of the day were bad enough!! Great video!!

[@cedarcam]

BR did keep them running sometimes for days. I went to a shed where 20 x class 20 were running it was deafening, I asked why they did not shut them down over the weekend and they said because they do not start easily and can flatten the batteries.

[@radekfylcka9029]

Also, back in the day, there was no anti freeze coolant...

[@chuckmaddison2924]

I have always wondered if they come from the factory new like this.

[@stuartpage4100]

Needs a block heater, would start straight up, no smoking.

[@radekfylcka9029]

You can do that but it takes a while ... Even with 30kW heater

[@dennisternent2974]

I use a Webasto heater on my truck and it keeps the engine at 170 degrees continuously.

[@GoprakGroup77]

Wau... Big engine locomotif troble.....🙏🙏🙏

That 37 from 2:02 sounds like an old person coughing on their first cigarette of the day.

[@darrinmcneill534]

Just love those big diesels

[@giggilboy4837]

😢i thought a old steam train🚂 gave off some smoke but these diesels show how to smoke🚈

[@martinsims1273]

There's a proper way to fire a steam loco; a bright cherry red fire (which will quickly turn into a white hot fire when the blast gets pulling it through). Any smoke is unburnt fuel, caused by overfiring (too much fuel being put on at any one time).

[@davemanone3661]

Very cool video, anything locomotive is fun to watch!

[@grahamemmett]

I wouldn’t be watching it otherwise. Great video

[@DL-go1xh]

Straight up question; What's the psychology of attraction to trains? I'm a novice but love these diesels; Deltics etc. Why? Is it because of the old cold war look to them? Dyfunctional Dalek attributes?

[@user-gs6fq1jq8y]

My question is?? Why aren't they using a engine heater before trying to start it cold engine works better with warm oil in the crank case....

[@radekfylcka9029]

We do but this is always fun

[@sliderdriver1]

Why is there no ventilation in the sheds?

[@brianlopez8855]

[@jacobp7289]

They should keep using these and keep building new ones. They are much better than modern ones.

[@jonathan461965]

'Ol smokey'. Best not Thunberg! 😂 These diesels are best kept running rather than stopping and cold starting.

[@alangordon3283]

Magnificent.

[@Grid56]

EE 37, for when God wants a cigarette

[@onefastcyclist]

Clever and fun !

[@fransstrous9809]

Why are these engine not preheated? Cold starts are very bad for lifetime reasons. In Germany loco diesel engines are kept warm, therefore good starting with no smoke

[@phareztrinimand]

The smoke is raw diesel if I remember correctly

[@fransstrous9809]

@@phareztrinimand Smoke is unburned fuel. When a cold diesel engine has unburned fuel in the exhaust then a lot of this go pass the pistons into the engine oil.

[@Rockdoc2174]

Cost for a start. The majority of these locos are in preservation, where keeping costs down is paramount. It wasn’t always done in BR days, either. If a loco was stored away from facilities they’d start like this.

[@kiwitrainguy]

White smoke is unburnt diesel and black smoke is burning diesel with insufficient air.

[@simondUK]

A lot of them don't have blockheaters/glowplugs/etc. - they were designed just to be cold-started and let the rough combustion heat the block up itself until it "caught"

[@davidgray2653]

Take this loco to the mot garage and put it on the emissions test would love to see what it would read😊😊

[@mlopez1007]

Just like British cars. They have a mean old age.

[@JamesLWilliams-k9x]

The one starting at 0.50 reminds me of the blocked DPF on my van !

Of those featured, I have little if any recollection of the Class 20 as they were not common on the Western Region. The others I do.

[@adriannorris1486]

More clag than your average steam loco!

[@donauradler1]

If you whish to kill your Diesel Engine you should start it cold. Thats why we warm up to 40° Celsius before starting

[@radekfylcka9029]

No, you dont have to

[@antonylawrence7266]

What I want to know is how did you get a tank full of compressed air to start it, did it have a mini engine to run the compressor first ?

[@cedarcam]

The English Electric ones shown used the generator as a motor to start them, later some were modified with starter motors instead of using the generator

[@julesviolin]

Must have been terrible trying to breathe in those loco sheds. Nice sounds though but it's bye bye old Diesels.

[@mutantthegreat7963]

Take that Sadik Kahn.

[@PaulNoake]

I'm glad to say EMDs don't throw up as much clag as these units do

[@engasal]

People making comments about warming them up with heaters like they weren't designed in the 1950s

[@radekfylcka9029]

You can easily retrofit them ...

[@dennisyoung4631]

“… until she went on a longish train-ride. I’m not sure she’d speak quite the same way, at least regarding a few antique trains running now and then.” Taking Amtrak to LA and back turned me into something of a train-nut. That said, routine wholesale use of “sooty trains” (and things like them) - not so sure it’s a good idea.

There is no engine block heating.

[@herrbohnen]

They got rid of steam cause they were too polluting !

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

Hi there Again it is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 313, Class 314 and that also is including those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 313's Class 314's including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Leyland 510 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Gardner 6LXCT Engine, Gardner 6LXB, Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314's and the Class 315's Diesel Train Fans Pretty PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Please?

[@joshslater2426]

This is probably the biggest issue with diesels. In cold weather they seize up and don’t run quite as well. Steam engines can run in cold weather, thanks to their immense heat, and therefore don’t have this issue.

[@radekfylcka9029]

They dont use injectors like you can find in modern diesel (much bigger particles), so Its actually much safer than modern diesel engine. Thats why DPF was invented.
