Thanks for watching :) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Great bit of footage thanks for sharing, all the best, Paul
Thank you very much! :)
Great sound!
Thank you! Never had one startup before :)
@@HST_Productions np and thnx for subbing to my channel. I have subbed back!
excellent capture!
Cheers! :)
That poor shed sounded knackered when she was starting up great capture though
Maybe cause of the quick move to a high notch, not sure. Cheers though :)
Like many of the vehicles of today , class 66 are being fitted with stop start technology, some even have control on how many cylinders run on idle , and the EMD 710 as the most numerous locomotive prime mover in the world is being developed further so it almost runs on thin air? And although its a V12 its also a two stroke diesel . I think the loco was fine , just an impatience driver !
2:22 Engine Shutdown 3:08 Engine Start-Up
That’s awesome 👏
@@arturwozniak681 yep
What would we do without the 66 these surely must be the most successful diesel locos to ever run in the UK and we must remember the basic design has been here since the 80s with the 59s ?
They are certainly the new workhorses of the UKs freight network :)
I like the horn
Same here :)
Me three😉
@@arturwozniak681 🙂
I can recognize that american 710 anywhere
Next best thing to a Valenta.
3:12 does anyone know why it sounds like the engine rpms drop slightly, is there a delay in fuelling? Noticed all EMD710's do it
I believe the clutch engaging in the turbo after initial combustion. Although i could be wrong
😍
2:21 Engine Shutdown
I’ve never seen a class 66 shutdown before. This is awesome 😁😁
@@arturwozniak681 Yeah 😎
Stop start technology.
Nope, 66s don't have them. Neither do any diesel trains.
@@WarwickshireTransport
dB have a number of 66's with start/stop tech, and freightliner have started using it too. I'm not sure if gbrf have any as yet.
dB have 90 class 66's with it and it's been in use since 2014
Which activates the stop start?
@@WarwickshireTransport
I think it works under sat ideling time at signals, loops or yards. Maybe like cars have got, but not 100% sure.
Well this is new information for me then.. every time I see/hear a 66 idling their engine never turns off. Only thing I hear is the engine revving down
