37372 with Baby Deltic engine

[@Grid56]

The different exhaust makes this sound a lot meatier than a normal Deltic, until all the gear clatter on shut down, that is ! I can't wait to see it completed and on the mainline.

[@bennickss]

1:44- Sounds like my washing machine at full spin

[@samson374]

I know its on test but it sounds so weird coming from a Class 37!!! lol I grew up with these, see 37's on a regular basis, their distictive 'tractor' voice, you just knew what was before she appeared in view. But hearing that sound coming from that loco, 30 years being around them, struggling to get my head round it! lol Great vid mind, liked and faved ;)

[@Living_Life_RN]

Can’t wait to see the Baby Deltic Project finished!

[@1800isbest]

god that sound better than a normal deltic

[@paulstevens9409]

That sounds fantastic 👍

[@richardjellis9186]

Great idea. Gives us the chance to see what a baby sounded like 😁. And, kinda looked like. Near enough for a young kid!

[@alanrobertson9790]

Best engine sound ever. Reckon the Class 68 is the best modern diesel sound.

[@AMOGLES99]

sounds sweet, probably not had many operating hours though, seeing the class was withdrawn so early.

[@davebenjafield7037]

The engine, the last Baby Deltic engine in existence, was a wreck when they got it. It was seized absolutely solid. Mucho respect for rebuilding it.

[@stephenpowell5912]

Beautiful Sound 🔊

[@michaelperkins5746]

Wow driven my class37s this sounds great

[@paulnolan1352]

Sounds the same as those Terex Machines I used to work on, Scrapers, Dumptrucks etc.

[@pcorf]

You want noise. You have it right here!

[@mekydro]

what a racket they must have made going along the 'widened lines'! I only saw them in the scrap line at Stratford, alas

[@kevinwillis1322]

sounds like a screaming jimmy two stroke Detroit diesel

[@formidable38]

I reckon the body shell is just used as something to start and run the thing. It will have all the nes' starting circiutes, fuel and cooling needed to run it and play! What I'd like to know is, why does it sound better than a normal Deltic? Its finaly a Deltic noise that I like!

[@vinniecross1092]

possibly due to it being 1/2 a deltic engine and only one of them rather than a pair, oh and its turbocharged.

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

Yeah most likely because its turboed.

[@chrisst8922]

A wonderful project with a new website. Some progress being made. When you see it, you'll believe it.

[@graemekornicki6810]

Always thought deltic 16 could have been turned into DP2, plenty class 50 engines available,would release 2 deltic engines into the spares pool and create a loco we lost so early.if DP2 hadnt been written off it would have gained a blue repaint and a cheap buy from english electric, like they got with falcon.ER always wanted 23 deltics.

[@stevepoole6169]

Big Deltic has a mechanical driven supercharger whereas the Baby Deltic has a Turbocharger hence the different exhaust note. 0:58

[@class50thrasher]

either a squeaky belt or a very audible turbo that has.

[@untitled2792]

turbo, a beautiful sound indeed

[@feydespiel.]

No turbo.naturaly aspirated.

[@adampike198]

sounds beautiful

[@arryayup]

Surreal man!

[@DaveInBridport]

Different! Prefer the EE roar though.

[@frillock]

Would anyone happen to know the axle load and route availability for the Class 23 as I have had no luck finding this out. It's a shme they were all scrapped, they sound incredible.

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

frillock the RA was 5 (Preparation and Working of Freight Trains (5/5/69)). The axle load was 18 ton 11 cwt (BR Diesel Locomotive Diagram book). Both on the Barrowmore MRG's web site.

[@andrewhinds6560]

That sounds sweet!!!

[@rogertycholiz2218]

Music to my ears.

[@BREL313]

superb video, liked and faved

[@dieselfahrenderpflaumenkuc352]

the 12csvt engine sounds MUCH better to me

[@Dean57010]

Maybe the turbo's?

[@andrewhinds6560]

It's because they're so self absorbed that they don't think about anything else.

[@richardjones7539]

Sounds top

[@scriltist]

@55022RSG Except they had a 9-cylinder engine instead of a pair of 18s

[@steventhornton4716]

Did these have bigger turbos than their deltic counterparts

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

Class 55 Deltics were supercharged with blowers.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Look it sounds different than a normal deltic engine

[@thehoff1982]

@D600Active Probably wouldnt be allowed these days cos of noise poolution. So sad, I always wanted them to stick 2 kestret hs4000s in 1 loco for 8000hp!

[@kenmcdowell5325]

Bloody hell that would have been some beast

[@cefnonn]

Is that '...your...' or '...you're...'? ; - )

[@24nov67]

how much hp did the baby deltic produce?

[@vinniecross1092]

about 1100hp

[@rogertycholiz2218]

Baby produced 900bhp on 9 cylinders - big brother 1800bhp on18 cylinders. Figure on 100bhp per cylinder

[@FordTransitMan2008]
