31101 on a cold start at Avon Valley Railway, having not been run for a few weeks, 11/2/17. Was snowing this morning, temperature wise, to add to the effect. Enjoy!
In these engines,poor compression is a cause too,engines with a lot of years, the mechanics may check the compression in all the cylinders,,,a tolerance of 3% is admissible. sorry my english,,i dont speak anw write many years ago
Im going to send this to greta
Where was this Awesome video taken?
avon valley railway
Clagtastic!
amazing
And the air quality rapidly declined.......
wow was the compressors or was that the triple pump?
The noise before she starts is the engine oil priming pump
@@UppyJC ah right also what was that alarm sound james as you were turning the engine on?
@@owenslanejunction7544 Fire alarm test
@@UppyJC ah right thank you
STARTED QUICKLY,,BUT IN TWO CYLINDERS,THE OTHERS DOESNT WORK,,,GENERATES CLAG UNTIL THEY BURN THE FUEL. NO FLAMES IN THIS CASE
Injector problem or poor compression?

This a perfectly acceptable cold start for this type of engine - considerably better in fact than a lot of examples of its type.
I have to agree! Almost too good...not enough clag..LOL
Gregg :-)
These engines do flame on a cold start below 0 due to fuel in the exhausts and oil and soot. I think it’s the turbo you can hear.
That musta smelt God-Awful.
Smelt awesome
Just the fuel pump. Sulzer powered locos have them locos have them
