Gordon, I'm still enjoying this video. It's like once every three months I have to watch it. I can not even guess how many tons this old girl has hauled around in her under appreciated life.
This is great...I just hooked up my mac to my hifi which has a pair of Wharfedales of the same vintage as this loco...my house is shaking and it's _exactly_ like being right next to this beauty. They must have been made for each other!
David Sanderson I'm from the town where the railways were born, where the first passenger train departed from in 1825, can you guess? Don't get it wrong mind
Why am I so addicted to this noise? I see I'm at least not alone, however there must be some deep seated reason why I keep coming back to this.........
My guess would be, this being on a small preservation railway, that one of the terminus stations doesn't have a run round loop... So the diesel pulls it one way, and then the Steam loco back the other way. Also gives visitors the opportunity to experience both of these locomotives in full swing!
one of the most impressive locomotives were built in great britain, i was in the railroad museum of york last year, well for me as german it was a great experance:-D
Reminds me of my childhood in the 80's. I lived in Kyle of Lochalsh and that's where the rail terminated. You'd hear these locos starting up in the morning.
Mark C I wuld probably say 37s are a smaller version of the 40 and wats pretty strange is wen they say size matters I wuld say not on this occasion cos the 37 I think is a bit more powerful than the 40 I'm not sure tho
@Yardieboss That is the governor doing that. Most diesels will do that until the engine warms up to burn all the fuel. When the RPM's fall below a certain point the governor will open the fuel rack to give it more fuel. When the RPMs reach a high point per throttle setting, the governor will reduce the fuel rack thus preventing over revving per given throttle setting when cold. Some diesels stay a steady RPM & just "miss" until warmed up.
Probably to supply steam to heat the carriages. Originally, diesel locos intended for passenger use had small boilers to make steam for heating but these were removed when electrical heating became the norm. I guess it's easier for them to use a steam engine for heat than to refit a boiler to the diesel loco.
It's a much better idea than a cab at one end, if you have a train with an US loco on, and you go from one place, to another, then run around and come back, your cab is at the back of your loco which makes it harder to see, where as we have a cab at each end, making life much easier for all.
why does the engine cycle up and down as it warms up? the engine is even searching when the locomotive is moving under the overpass. also why do the older diesels crank over so long before starting and the newer models just fire up?
Reply from Dave Cherry re Worsbrough Railways-Sorry. Just seen this. Yes its from a video of the Yorkshire Railways. Its a good hour long. I cannot tell you what its called but I have it here on file. I cannot see your contact name but you can have it if you want. Cheers for your interest Dave Cherry.
after this old girl got up and running from six months of out of service she would not be shut down for 8-12 months. As she warms, her blood thins and she smooths out on a silk bed like a fine German lady.......
"My first car was so long to warm up, the gazoline tank was so small and my parents property was so large that I never reached the exit portal " It is à sentence from à french journalist who had got 200 cars Philippe Bouvard
I wonder if they could develop a simple heater for the engine, so that in cold weather, heating elements are powered from the live rails. An hour before the work day starts, if the outside temperature is cold, a worker comes by and switches on the heaters.
I'm curious--why do they run it with no load to warm it up? My experience with diesels (granted, much smaller engines that this one) prompts me to load the engine up with a light to moderate load to warm it up. Why not tow a couple of empty cars once all cylinders start firing? Again, I have no experience with locomotive diesels, so keep that in mind.
The New Zealand Railways used a loco similar to a Class 37, but with a cab at one end only, called a DG Class, I have a video of one, but it's not as nice looking as a cab at both ends.
Exactly! I have to point out that such a scene has no longer been possible to do for several years now as the area has been sealed off. The reason was that vandals were about to set locomotives on fire but thankfully the police were about at the right time to stop the b@stards and arrest them. Vandalism is the fruit of a sick society and in Germany it is equally as widespread as in the UK. Glad you like the video and thanks for your interest. Pity it was only filmed on Hi 8 cassette and that there was no HD about at the time. Best regards Gordon
@formidable38 A classic example of missing the point. The point being that Britain did produce locomotives that did not smoke - the clag is a generational/design characteristic - ecconomic forces that were promoted in the UK during the '80s put an end to most engineering activity. Ask Brush Traction.
hordelHoror- most of what we're seeing is just the result of a very cold day the same as exhaust out of an auto. Only the black stuff is smoke (clag) and these engines are in splendid shape since there's not a lot of that. Some of the oldies get run into the ground with no maintenance, and blow blue smoke almost all the time. A shame.
You asked why we Brits didn't copy American loco styles... well, we umm did! If you take a look at the American locomotives from the late 1940's, and early-mid 1950's, those are what we (loosly) styled these on. Hope this helps!
One of the best "cold starts" I have ever seen on RUclips - made me shiver just watching it! Plenty of whistling and steam bonus too - well done sir!
Gordon, I'm still enjoying this video. It's like once every three months I have to watch it. I can not even guess how many tons this old girl has hauled around in her under appreciated life.
I wish we had these in Canada. Love the look and sound of them.
Ahhh Smokey old cold start locomotives from England, I just love em.
This is great...I just hooked up my mac to my hifi which has a pair of Wharfedales of the same vintage as this loco...my house is shaking and it's _exactly_ like being right next to this beauty. They must have been made for each other!
@@caseyjones4849 i spent all day Saturday pulling the bleddin goodness out of meself.😀😀😀
Full on wankathon! 😂
such an addictive noise love it
Loved this video as a kid!
The best English Electric sound of them all . Great video .
And 3... They sound amazing and certain diesels look amazing, class 31s and 08s are my personal favorites.
Think I've watched this 12 times now. Great sound. My first 40 was the D306. Beast.
I enjoy watching them start up and those that leave a bit of clag behind, thank you for sharing
Great sound coupled with great looks!
these engines are classics, pure 1970s sound
True all of you: amazing machine but what's up with the enchanting hypnotic noise? Love it and leaves me in awe....thanks for video taping it !
Listen to that turbo whine. I love this old beast.
Sounds so smooth when the revs rise, enjoyable video, thanks for uploading.
Love the sound and the hunting of the big cold diesel. Awesome video.
Brilliant - reminds me of early days on the job in the snow.
Love the sound of the 40 and the 20!
David Sanderson I'm from the town where the railways were born, where the first passenger train departed from in 1825, can you guess? Don't get it wrong mind
Stockton or Darlington. And i'm from where the first timetabled service began!
David Sanderson You're wrong on both counts, SHILDON
and the 50s
Oh noooo...this video is too short, BEAUTIFUL!!!!
just great to see this,now if only i could have one in my backyard lol,great sound!!!
is that a turbo whistle . still lovely 2020 . big pistons nice. clag . a thing of the past.
Why am I so addicted to this noise? I see I'm at least not alone, however there must be some deep seated reason why I keep coming back to this.........
Excellent video...love the whistle they make...
Fantastic locos, I love our big diesels
What a Beast since watching your video i love the class 40's now i'm so into class 37's to great video by the way :)
These turbos...
My guess would be, this being on a small preservation railway, that one of the terminus stations doesn't have a run round loop... So the diesel pulls it one way, and then the Steam loco back the other way. Also gives visitors the opportunity to experience both of these locomotives in full swing!
All have run round loops mate
one of the most impressive locomotives were built in great britain, i was in the railroad museum of york last year, well for me as german it was a great experance:-D
The nrm is spectacular, an amazing collection of restored engines
good old 40 whistler awesome locos
Put this amazing Sound in a loop and sleep like a baby.
Bet the neighbours loved that!
Reminds me of my childhood in the 80's. I lived in Kyle of Lochalsh and that's where the rail terminated. You'd hear these locos starting up in the morning.
ah yes, the whistler, an engine I've not heard in a long time!
Lack of silencers in the exhaust methinks - gorgeous sound!!!
Impressive start-up.You could count off each piston as it fired.
EE in the snow! Good work!
True man made beauty.
The engine hunts because the engine governer operates on engine oil and while that is still cold, its reactions are sluggish
Towards the end it makes me think of a fire breathing dragon. Awesome sound!
like this a lot good old 40s
Fantastic Cold start !
I worked with these and Class 45,and 46 in the late 1970s into the 80s,there's something special about them. 139 Tons I think.
Thought it was a class 38 ? Shows what I know
+Fearlessjazp Tv International Ltd (Leader Of Hess Trucks)
Sorry I was thinking class 37, okay it's a class 40
Mark C I wuld probably say 37s are a smaller version of the 40 and wats pretty strange is wen they say size matters I wuld say not on this occasion cos the 37 I think is a bit more powerful than the 40 I'm not sure tho
Ben Conway
Well?
Some might say it's not How big it is but how you use it 😜
Mark C oh haha..😆😆

me too. often walk around nearby junction station to see and listen shunters starting and working
Classic loco. Nice vid, thanks!
Very satisfying sound 😊

absolutely hellfire

Great "Whistler" sound !!!!
why do these locomotives always sound as they were not running properly in idle?
Noch ein schönes video👌🏻👍🏿! Keep it up.
what more could you want
What a great song

Beautiful and very interesting video!
I believe there is a run-round loop, but it would not be big enough to hold that particular train, being an extra-long special service.
A great video! Thanks!
This can only be good for the environment!! giggle!! =P Cool video!!

East Lanc's railway does have run rounds at each end!
love shape of these trains
I wonder if they could develop a simple heater for the engine, so that in cold weather, heating elements are powered from the live rails.
An hour before the work day starts, if the outside temperature is cold, a worker comes by and switches on the heaters.
What live rails?
This is diesel powered..it doesn't need or have, live rails!!
Absolutely awesome :) Thanks.
interesting how the passing train had a steam locomotive on the rear..
I'm curious--why do they run it with no load to warm it up? My experience with diesels (granted, much smaller engines that this one) prompts me to load the engine up with a light to moderate load to warm it up. Why not tow a couple of empty cars once all cylinders start firing?
Again, I have no experience with locomotive diesels, so keep that in mind.
I used to run these in
Auran's Trainz Simulator game, cool little things, I was terrible at that game though lol
is it the starter the wholetime or just a couple cylinders? does something like that have an electric starter or a smaller gas starter motor?
@nivek194 It has a 2000hp engine and 1550hp power at rail
The New Zealand Railways used a loco similar to a Class 37, but with a cab at one end only, called a DG Class, I have a video of one, but it's not as nice looking as a cab at both ends.
Got to get this as a ringtone for the phone
Looks like it's already running when video started. Beautiful train though
Wonderfull; thank you.
You need a mains-powered engine pre-heater. It would save a lot of wear and tear on the battery.
dam takes a while, thought diesels started as quick as a car
They do, almost, with preheating (so called `glow plugs') but these had no preheating.
LMAO! As I started to watch this and advert popped up - Quit smoking with the NHS!
Lol 😂
shes ace !!!!
You can keep your Azumas, 66s, 68s etc and bring us Br blue/green every time.
Exactly!

Whats the difference between a class 37 and 40 ?
Class 40 is longer and has 16 wheels whereas the 37 has 12 or a total of 6 axles. There are also other differences.
Be specific, the EE V16, or 16CSVT. They are very distinctive.:)
Whats the difference between engines, the manufacturer?
Epic noise!

Poetry in motion
pretty sure newer models have glowplugs. I could be very wrong though.
jeez, how many exhaust outlets did these things have?
Sorry to disappoint you, but the number indicates a Class 40, which was effectively the predecessor of the Deltic.
Is this BR class 40 still running on preservation? :-).
Foxy313 yes with 2 of her sisters at the East Lancs Railway
Yes but at the moment it has a crack in its crankshaft,hopefully be back running at the end of 2023
The clags of class 37s lol, if it wasnt for diesels railways wouldnt be here now. That's that.

@nivek194 2000 hp, V16. Not one of EE's finest though, they are abit over weight (130 tons or so) and underpowered but they done the job.
Nice and easy for an EE, all 16 fired up quickly. That unburnt fuel will clear.
Why so much smoke ???
take THAT greenpeace!
Take that Michael Gove!
Didn't know VW did train diesels :P
@@Biigfish559 that is a class 40

Awesome vid, liked, faved and subbed :)
Someone noticed that there is no cold-start-movies of steam engines?
SotraEngine4 you need to get up far too early to prep steam
