Superb video!! What a machine!!! Listen to that monster diese roar!! If I were a passenger on that train, I would have my head out the window listening to the diesel chug, smelling the diesel,and watching the smoke blow the whole time!!! Amazing vid!
I know you lads can stand it over there but everyone else is physically dying because of it. Maybe not this one exactly but pollution is pollution and unless you want to die early like the rest of us, I'd get on that.
pkrieter to answer your question yes clagging means smoke i think, and the engine your refering to is the deltic, it was basically the highspeed train of its day untill the Hst's came out, reason its got a high RPM is because its got 2 engines. lovely engine to drive i might add.
Well that Class 52 @ 1.35 is powered by a pair of German Maybach MD 655's... But in the main these are loco's on preserved lines which are life expired and kept running by dedicated enthusiasts. Some of the class 37's (the first one) are still in service and much cleaner, and the one @2.22 is an Italian Sulzer..
Looky yonder comin', Comin' down that railroad track... Looky yonder comin',, Comin' down that railroad track.. It's that dark clagging special,,, Burnin' that diesel fast... If I was drivin' that train, I'd kick it in and yell back to the big diesel "Lay down the Clag boys!"
Having travelled behind over three hundred Br 232's, I can personally attest to the fact that some ARE as dirty as that, and that was indeed the lure :-)
I've seen many trains in my life, but i've never seen a diesel train that was not diesel/electric... Diesel Engines powering electric wheel motors... I live in the US, is that the reason? Did we ever have non-diesel/electric? other than steam?
I've worked on Diesels many years. These seem to be emitting EXCESSIVE smoke. Surely that is not normal for them. How can their combustion be that bad?
Never did like Deltics, they stunk when revved but the burnt oil smoke plus unburnt fuel is par for the course. They were always like that. As for the rest, cold engines on the EE types, so incomplete combustion. That will ease when they warm through. 1041 is stripped for a major overhaul. As for the Sulzer types, rich running.
That second one had a very high RPM. Are they small engines? Also does clagging mean smoking? I've never heard that term before. ( I'm american) Nice video by the way.
you would have been as black coal had you been hanging out the window, the napier deltic engines expelled a lot of oil droplets in a very fine mist especially when the engines were under pressure.
When the "deltic" loco was introduced, it was by far the most powerfull diesel loco in the world, at 3,300hp. it has 2x18 cylinder 2 stroke engines. Check out the YT video called "deltic locomotive diesel engine moving parts" to see a really cool animation
ooooh! Get you with your attitude! I'm literally shitting my pants. All hail german engineering (I've just got rid of an Audi A4 - it was fucking shit - German engineering, my arse!!)
@shoptothecaf You either have no interest in diesels or your knowledge is very limited. Either way, you obviously have no care for environmental impact. Seeing something like this only hammers home why these things were scrapped. Its either a very badly worn/badly maintained unit but its definetly being over fuelled most probably caused by worn pump/injectors as is obvious by the huge amount of unburnt fuel being exhausted. You may it boring but far more impressive would be a clean burn..
the diesels in this video appear to be owned by railway preservation groups who most likely do mainline running doing excursions do you honestly think they would be allowed if they put out clag all the time? besides these trains sit unused as its mostly weekends they are used thats why you get clag not the nonesense you wrote about the engine being faulty
People need to remember som of these engines are hitting 60+ years old.
That takes me back !! Them were the days
That smoke is killing our kids!
Excellent! keep up the good work!
Those EE Class 37's sound absolutely amazing! Now, that is what i call British engineering at its finest!
I love the way BR didn't even bother with a prototype and just ordered loads of 37s.
0:02 Volkswagen engine?
Wow! I just loved Western Sultan's contribution to the ozone layer at 1:37, THAT'S the way to accelerate . . .
And to think they called Steam Engines too dirty !
.. you gotta love the noises too.
nice footage
that sound is immense! why do i like it so much!
Love the sound of the Class 37 starting up. It reminds me of an ALCO 244.
notice at the beginning the engine lists whenever it clags.
Beautiful sounding Locomotion ❤️❤️❤️❤️Got Carrying Clagging 1 to 8 on DVD ❤️
the deltic sounded like a cross between a EMD and a Kenworth.
AWESOME!
Superb video!! What a machine!!! Listen to that monster diese roar!!
If I were a passenger on that train, I would have my head out the window listening to the diesel chug, smelling the diesel,and watching the smoke blow the whole time!!!
Amazing vid!
For a second there, I thought these were ALCO's!
I am an American who grew up in Britain. British diesel-electric locomotives are the BEST!
Love D1041 demonstrating turbo lag!
Hellfire! Sod the Environmentalists! More clag :)
I know you lads can stand it over there but everyone else is physically dying because of it. Maybe not this one exactly but pollution is pollution and unless you want to die early like the rest of us, I'd get on that.
I truly love DELTICS but the belching smoke is off the charts
That`s what I call Clagtastic! Love it! More Clag!
Just watched this video AWSOME 👍🏼
That's a class 55 deltic. they had twin two stroke opposed piston engines. clag was par for the course with these, they did it even in good condition
It sends shivers down my spine!
Is the 1st 1 a 37 at the Glous. Warks. Rly?
Loved the shots of the Western and 33!
As a non spotter but a lover of all trains whats this term "clagging" can any one explain to me ...??
Hmmm! And everyone thought that D/E traction would throw out less pollution than those dirty old steam locos.
they do!
No, it sounds like high RPM, because it's a 2 stroke (makes power twice as often)
Similar to:
- Spluttering,
- Blistering,
- motor choking...
... and lots of other sound and view effects of diesel engines...

I am a train 🚆and I approve this video!
Looky yonder comin', Comin' down that railroad track... Looky yonder comin',, Comin' down that railroad track.. It's that dark clagging special,,, Burnin' that diesel fast...
If I was drivin' that train, I'd kick it in and yell back to the big diesel "Lay down the Clag boys!"
cleaner than steam :)
that lsat loco did a superb alco impression
Carry on Clagging 3 will be released on 13 September 2008.
Nice claggings and engines...
0:26 to 1:02 now that`s what I call torque. Incredible. Never seen a train get up to speed that fast.
Cold engines plus a touch of turbo la here. Oh, and a couple running rich....
Lets get zontar on that deltic to give it some radweld 😂
37 is an EE, but 25s and 33s are Sulzers, along with the 47 & peaks.
Awesome big diesel locomotives!!!!!!!
Fantastic!!! I'm off to buy the DVD!
holy shit! those diesel's look like they have a part of a steam train in it (the smoke)
Great clip of the 'thousand'
Having travelled behind over three hundred Br 232's, I can personally attest to the fact that some ARE as dirty as that, and that was indeed the lure :-)
The Deltic and the Western looked like they had crack stuffed in their engines as they were very smokey!
I like the train thanks for the video
I've seen many trains in my life, but i've never seen a diesel train that was not diesel/electric... Diesel Engines powering electric wheel motors... I live in the US, is that the reason? Did we ever have non-diesel/electric? other than steam?
The acceleration is unbelievable. the wheels on the loco at 1:38 seem to be huge...like 3 feet in diameter!
I've worked on Diesels many years.
These seem to be emitting EXCESSIVE smoke.
Surely that is not normal for them.
How can their combustion be that bad?
1:00 the beast o berwyn 37240 doing what she does best

Massive acceleration
thats one I'm going to have to buy!
Love them 👍🇬🇧
All material to get Greenpeace wetting their pants. I hope their MD lives in that station house & got the full effect of 'Sultan's breath.
I like a nice bit of clag
It's a term used for all the muck coming out the roof.
That second one had a very high RPM. Are they small engines? Also does clagging mean smoking? I've never heard that term before. ( I'm american)
Nice video by the way.
Fuck me!! the Clag coming out of the class 52 !! better send it to Zontar for a spot O Radweld Treatment LOL
Even better!...not kidding.
you would have been as black coal had you been hanging out the window, the napier deltic engines expelled a lot of oil droplets in a very fine mist especially when the engines were under pressure.
wonderful
Cool Clagg
the engine at 0.29, is that clagging? sounds a bit too smooth
I FOOKING LOVE CLAGG!

Check out the YT video called "deltic locomotive diesel engine moving parts"

Let's calculate this vehicle's carbon footprint.
I'll fly in from America to see this in person.
Damn the inflationary US currency for making travel so difficult.
the earth is goin to die because of uk trains
Yer but what a way to go!
HUffffffff!
My lords!!!!!!!!!!
best of the brittish!
Clagging = making lots of pollution?
Why so much smoke?
Why do the semaphores not operate?
CLAG!!!!!!!!=P 5 * Fave!!
Danny
sultan was parked at truro for days when i was a boy on holiday.
i'd rather run these beasts and die in 20 years than leave them to rust and live for another 80
Oh god! thats a pollution nightmere
Heres a vid ive put up of some CLAG at ELR!
They sound like Alco's.
I think it's unlikely, as the Toyota Prius will be accelerating suddenly out of the way.
:-)
Dang it... that ment to say clag...
Damn english locos..some are cool, but still, american and the ones from europe rock!
Should of gone to VW they would of sorted those emissions out!!
what is Clagging? this video does not explain it
Whats clagging?
1.30 - 1.44
Bring them all back instead of all these electric crap.
1:46 Stop Look Listen small print says but for god's sake don't breath in lol
37,s rule
What is clagging?
+Khadijah Brown Internal combustion engine (I think it's more about diesels) belching a lot of smoke and soot.
Thank you.
G!
@robertgift
no smoke no poke! lol
ooooh! Get you with your attitude! I'm literally shitting my pants. All hail german engineering (I've just got rid of an Audi A4 - it was fucking shit - German engineering, my arse!!)
and 26/27s
Absolutely do not show this to Greta Thunberg......
A!
Very badly maintained or worn out engines here, clogged injectors etc. All the black soot and smoke is just unburnt fuel.
