Flames. I'm not stupid. I want to see flames.
The flames, where are they, we need the flames
Click bait
Still great video
And, of course, *SOOT!*
I came expecting flames…

I’ve started many cold Diesel locomotives. Letting them struggle to start is really tough on the engine.
The governor goes right to full fuel which is why the one or two cylinders that fire have such a severe knock. It’s possible to break a piston or bend a connecting rod that way. In the remaining cylinders not firing, the fuel that is injected but not burned cools the air charge making it difficult to get up to ignition temperature. This unburned fuel also washes the oil film off cylinder walls causing excess wear on the cylinder and piston. I’ve found it to be more effective to hold the layshaft in the no fuel position and crank the engine over for 15-20 seconds before introducing fuel. This gives a chance to build some heat in the cylinders. Often the engine will start much sooner this way, with less wear.
As an apprentice back in the '70's we got to play around with some really old diesels, huge hand cranked single and twin cylinders. Can't remember their brands, but one at least was a "Lister"
The way to start them was to crank the flywheel as fast as possible with the cylinders set to NO compression, just to get momentum and some lube oil flowing. then quickly move the decompression lever to "high" compression to get them firing, and very quickly move the lever to "low" (more like "normal") to continue running. Getting the timing of the compression lever wrong resulted in some hilarious, and on rare occasions painful events. (hold the crank handle incorrectly and risk broken fingers, wrists and dislocated elbows)
As you say, the engines shown here would benefit from being spun over without fuel to get the lube oil moving, and some heat into the combustion chamber.
I'm surprised they didn't have an effective "pre-heater" for the incoming air as well. Have seen Eastern European operators soak a rag (and even a stripped corn cob) with diesel, remove the air filter, and hold it lit over the air intake. Very effective.
I thought I heard bad knocking. I assumed the engines must have been built for it.
This is true on 6000 cid natural gas engines as well. Let them crank for 30 seconds to build some heat up otherwise too much moisture
Exactly! Diesels need heat!
@@iffracem , i saw your "pre-heater" method being used to start a loco in siberia on a tv show. you can count on siberians to know the best way to start a cold engine. ive seen how they start their cars too. build a fire on the ground under the engine.
I see these mighty beasts and think of the millions of miles they have sailed on steel.
Each one has soul of sorts...
The thumbnail isn't a cold start. It's a hot fire!!!!
I am honestly impressed by the fact that those old macines just keeps going and going, almost no matter the circumstances.
It’s all in the maintenance.
I just want to point out, there was a Winter a few years ago in the UK where Modern Technology FAILED as it was so Cold. They not only brought out the old Diesels, but also the even OLDER Steam Engines to run the Rail Networks for a week or so in some areas.
@@nevermindmyname9153 We had similar problems in Sweden with the new French locomotives arrived, they are normally good and reliable locos, but they where not really made up to standard to meet the Nordic winter in the beginning so they had to do a lot of changes to them before they could be put back to service, In northern Sweden there are still quite a lot of old 1970-80s (a few of them are even older) locomotives still running in active duty or serve as active backup, some of them simply because they where still in such good shape that they where bought up by other companies to be used as cargo trains. The old Swedish cargo locos where originally designed to met up to the standard for the old northern iron ore, i am not joking when i say that, that one can certainly even be worse than the Canadian coastline during the winter...
when theres no air left in the atmosphere the engine wont be able to run
The trick to starting a stubborn Diesel is let a bit of flame go down the inlet manifold. That quickly warms them up to do their usual combustion process
Ha
@@Tactikill44 hello leokimvideo
perkins used flame start on there engines,there was a glow plug inside the inlet and when you started them 1st you had to glow 15-30 sec and then when you cranced it diesel was injected by the diesel pump.
@@MrRichard57000 you kinda a year late but yeah
Drop a match down there and open the throttle
All these locos have one thing in common, great starters 😁👌
Actually most of the older locomotives don’t have a starter. The main generator has a starting winding which is used to crank over the engine.
i love when the switch of sound when the cylinders start to get some heat in them
Love the smell of diesel exhaust in the morning.
So glad to see ad posted covering over the last engine starting. Money is more important
Stupid hey...It makes me mad when most "tubers do that now.
Are these the Volkswagen tests for the chips that regulate the emissions? It looks good, so that the climate goals can be achieved.😁😁😁🙈🙈👍
Sadly
That's all bs. Artificial scandal to German automakers. If
US cannot make and sell decent cars abroad, then they will try to ruin the reputation of others who can make and sell. Just look how many German cars roam in the US and how many US cars roam in Germany.
@@ferencszathmary9689 I drive a US car from 1988 Chrysler convertible And that for 26 years. US import with special approval for European roads. There are many cars in Europe from GM Opel. The problem with American luxury cars is the procurement of spare parts. The taxes for muscle cars and power of the engine. But I think any Lincoln or Cardilac can compete with Mercedes on quality as well.
@@ottospalt4892 Where do you live?
@@ferencszathmary9689 Germany😃
Love to hear those old diesels starting up. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching :) more videos comming soon
I used to work on a lot of a model 3512 cats, 16v92 screaming eagle detroit's, and Cummins v12 mechanical. Nothing like those old barges, screaming eagles like to run away and come apart
@@spiritualawake2984 Wait What are you talking about? We talking about train
that is exactly the way i starup up in the morning but whit less smoke.
I love to hear big direct injection Diesel engines crank up on cold mornings! All of that smoke and flames is beautiful and that knock is like music to my ears!
This thing creates its own weather systems
Love how the engineer at 1:07 sticks his head up to see just how much smoke he's generating!
in a residential area non the less lol
Hey cold start gang 🤗
Now I think I learned how the early Starship Enterprise got its distinctive warp engines sound from!
The last clip was ruined by link tiles overlaid on it. Put some extra "empty" space at the end.
May reve this yis toma no cu
@@juniorcasat7859 COME ON, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU
If you're watching on mobile, you can tap and hold on the video and pull it down slightly to get rid of the stupid end cards.
Install adblock plus. Then you can block elements.
I really hated those idiotic cards, but with adblock plus you just block them.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz you know you only have to go into the settings of the video and turn off annotations to get rid of them. But yes I agree as Adblock Plus is brilliant and a must have
this is unreal start! SUPER!!!
"GREAT" footage, I really enjoyed watching 👍
Lighthouse diesel gensets used to be run for 6 hour shifts. Later this was changed to continuous operation with two extra engines as backup. They would just let the engine run until it died. Lots of stress while the engine pounds away getting up to speed. This method pretty well eliminated the daily pounding.
Thank you very much for these geil sounds. I love these Diesel sounds!
Wonderful Coverage.. love from rail fan..
Lordy! that deltic sounds sweet...
Greta would love this upload
Back at it again wooop
Sittimg in my living room in Canada. I think I can smell that exhaust
is Justin Trudeau gonna charge a carbon tax on that too?
Oh yeah, definitely cleaner than steam trains !
It's good to know there are a few of the old class 37s still out and about.
I hear one regularly in Hull sound to be savoured and a sight to behold
Yes we will need them when we get dirty bombed….
My old man did his National Service in the Royal Navy, he remembered starting Napier Deltic engined MTBs - they made so much black smoke tne hulls were repainted black (from grey) to disguise tbe sooty exhausts. They could run at 40 knots all day & night !
0:18 that’s one hell of a green Locomotive
Was surprised how easily the Class 37 started! Fully approved
Love hearing that 1 cylinder going at the very start of the video. Then the second, then after a while the third fourth then the rest all wake up and the crowd cheers!
Respect voor de mensen die dit in stand houden! Prioriteit nr. 1 zou voor mij zijn, het kunnen lichten van de klep van cilinder nr.1. Wat een beestenwerk is het om zo te tornen! 👍🏻
Слёзы радости на глазах греты тунберг )))
I think the M41's cold start is also interesting. That could have been on this list.
Don't let the extinction rebellion see these.....
In Canada we give the air inlet a short shot of starting fluid (ether). Starts like a charm. With CAT engines, you switch the glowplug on for 15-20 secs then start it.

I've seen some diesel engines that used a 'pony' engine to get them turning over to the initial starting RPM's.
I remember Caterpillar doing that since at least the 1930's.
@@vernonmatthews181 I've never seen one but it sounds like you have. they couldn't have been very big, were they? my original comment should have read "heard of some diesel engines"
@@kevinducharme1263 The one I saw was in 1977 in New Zealand, it was a Vtwin that started a 1938 Caterpillar 6x4 Grader, I can still remember it starting up & the two huge levers that allowed the smaller engine to engage the flywheel of the parent engine, the engine partially exposed both sides was a long stroke 4 cylinder diesel. 😎👍👌
@@vernonmatthews181 man, you old-school guys rule!
@@kevinducharme1263 Hey thanks brother, have a great day ! 😎👍👌
True raul therapy....I like it!!!!.....All the best from Romania
That psz still takes centre stage in german techno raves, ive seen the rave viking cranking it up.
Strangely, the BR Class 25 seemed to have by far the easiest time starting.
Probably the best maintained. Beats me how the batteries sustain the output to turn over the engines.
Ian McKinnon they all sound bad because they’re cold, not necessarily badly maintained, the reason some sound better than others is because they’ve been cold less
@@class87srule they use air starters
Not strange at all, the Sulzer engines have a much higher compression ratio than most others. It makes them more efficient but heavier and more expensive, more than double the cost of a comparable English Electric engine if I recall correctly.
The Deltic went pretty quick.
*3:17* when your train game has not loaded
On the seventh day God was'nt resting, he was making these locomotives
2:38
The real Thomas the tank engine
@Widget Drat interesting
Now we know where VW got there emissions advice from : )
Indeed, EA189 still plagues my VAG engine..."#$* germans.
I love my VAG 3.0L diesel. Makes such glorious sounds that beast.
@@PedroLucas-hk3vo HEY I AM A GERMAN I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT
And here I thought my 1990 Ford Escort was moody to crank in winter mornings... Carbureted 100% ethanol engines can be a nightmare to start but look like a peach compared to some of these, haha.
Thats,some, well, made, star, ter, moter!
I would love to hear one of the diesel trains rumble down a track
The ultimate green machine collection.
I loved train because of it's engine sounds.
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
"One cold start is ~30 normal starts"
Diesel geht immer 💪
The pieces of rust falling off the Fowler added to the entertainment.
I DROVE Diamond T,s in the UK army in 1954 ,max weight 95 tons., Henshall Engine starting ok With the old 14 lt engine we used to heat in in coming air ,started ok even with hard frost.
Best wishes,
Alan Bunker.
It's a shame the deltic clip couldn't have lasted longer. Love that distinctive warble.
Me too. Had one rumble past me years ago when I was a kid walking along the track, felt the heat from the engine, smelled the fumes and oil. Such a powerful beast.....So huge, at least compared to me age 6 anyway.
Three crankshafts in a triangular format, two spinning one way and the remaining the other way. An 18 cylinder two stoke diesel with opposed piston design. Each bore had two pistons in it with a crankshaft at either end injector in the middle and inlet and exhaust port at opposing ends of the cylinder and it was supercharged. Quite an advanced engine and unique sound!
37's run up nicely, must be warm already. 0:14 , 4:00 , 5:46 , Sounds like a blacksmith's convention!
They normally take a bit more persuasion than that, don't they.
The flames shooting out of the stack of the 740 148 is fairly scary.
Good the info in the video.thanks to name my country argentine,,,daniel Argentine. Keep updating videos.new suscriptor
Wow
I feel I need to go and plant 100 trees now after watching this.
the first train is the ceo of climate change himself
The 08 Is smoking like a steam engine XD
Listen to that Turbo on the EMD SD45 🤩💪🏼
awesome sounds
Anyone else notice the '55 fowler started the easiest?
My old job, I had some generator sets V16 caterpillars, they had water jacket heaters and started more or less instantly. Would be certainly more efficient having water jacket heaters and a small generator to warm the loco engines up before starting.
They would have to be some healthy block heaters, to warm 400 gallons of coolant.
Beautiful....Thank You for Not Talking..
Dieselová lokomotiva s mechanickým přenosem výkonu má tu nevýhodu, že ke startu používá starter. Dieselelekrtrická lokomotiva startuje pomocí trakčního generátoru. Úspěšný start proběhne během několika sekund!
Wow!
Class 37... surely the divas of cold start (tho that petite shunter was fun)?
One cylinder said the the others: “bro, you feeling it today?”
For anyone interested in diesel locomotives, and railway diesels in particular, there is a superb book titled, "Dawn of the Diesel Age: The History of the Diesel Locomotive in America" by John F. Kirkland. It is long out of print and, unfortunately, pretty expensive to find a copy now. But interestingly, it is actually a fascinating "can't put it down" sort of read. Kirkland also wrote "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 1: Fairbanks-Morse and Lima-Hamilton", "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 2: American Locomotive Company and Montreal Locomotive Works", and "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 3: Baldwin Locomotive Works". Also, excellent books and hard to find and expensive now. But "Dawn of the Diesel Age" discusses the history of the diesel in a much broader sense.
Old but still good
Watch
It's all good
0:29 Train: Greta-Greta-Greta-Gretttttaaa-Gretttaaaaaaaaaa Breathe!!!!!
I find these noises humorous ^^
hm, the DR877 started public service on the May 15th 1933, not in 1935... the prototype was running in 1931, max speed of the train in public service was 160kph/100mph...
....no wonder it was called the fliegender/flying Hamburger ( thats a city in Germany, the train drove from Hamburg to Berlin )
Heavy metal at it's best.
0:33 from here, perfect eargasam 😌
The 1955 Foler shunter sounded like a ww2 plane engine
That 37 is something we cant hate
I bet you don't get many likes from the greenies/climate extremists. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Heavenly sound Starting at 2.25
i have used a heat gun in the intake to send hot air down it. Worked every time
Jürgen Resch from "Deutsche Umwelthilfe" Germany is not amused🤣🤣🤣
These explanation really make the video more interesting
great for the environment they are
Flames are normal with the clag is inside the exhaust manifold:Because is very flammable,a spark light the clag and the result,,flames outside, but in some cases is better the clag burn, because go outside and is dangerous to inhale.
Clagg is the black smoke emitted from the exhaust and " not inside it"
these engines feed plants all around the world!
Fowler Shunter is my favorite :) //
BRAVO
What's needed is some "start ya bastard" available only Australia! It's an ether spray.
Euro 6 done:)
Where is burning one!!!
This is Euro 0 hehe
Rather Euro -10 🙈🙉🙊
Coolest train of the lot gets covered by thumbnails!
I worked on the railway here in Britain for over 40 years . We had one class of loco , I'm sorry I can't remember what class it was .(I had nothing to do with driving or maintenance of engines) . That if it was left in a siding , could not be turned off , but had to be left running . We had several that were left over Christmas . Much to the annoyance of those living near by .
2:44 - that is one mean looking locomotive - reminds me of that Motörhead album cover, "Orgasmatron"
👁 👁
👄
Stopping them when over speeding, anyone got a video of that? now that is an adventure, I had a Sulzer over speeding because the governor linkage pins had been removed by a clever so called "inspector" he never isolated any start systems or informed anyone else his intensions, the engine was ruined, but made me look good in the eyes of my superiors when I got in there and stopped it, at OOC (London) in 1967.
This is why you never shut down unless you are going to be gone or not need it for DAYS. It takes a while to get goin lol. Its 20 times worse if you are sitting inside of it and its 20 below outside waiting. Great heat once they're 🔥 goin.
