No, this is serious environmental pollution. Not to mention global warming climate change from C02 emissions. Greta Thunberg has decreed polluting locos like this must be cut for scrap and melted down to make cleaner traction.
Does anyone remember the how and why books? I am trying to recall one page with four locomotives ... black and white pictures I thing EE class 15 Western may be two... can someone who has the book look it up and tell me the four locomotives on those two pages?
I consider the 47 and 31 my childhood locomotive’s I used to regularly see a blue liveried class 31 go light engined to the terminus on a branch line I grew up next to never known the purpose of them trips maybe driver route knowledge or something
I wonder why British design dieselloco engines were not equipped with pre- heaters for both coolant and engine oil. Just like incorporated in most large engines designed in the same era in Germany. Never seen such clagging, popping and flames with German dieselloco’s. Explosions in the exhaust might pose a serious risk for the engine, let alone the waste of fuel and the effects on the environment. At that time this was of no concern, I know. Today, however, we think differently and it surprises me they still are allowed to be operated, museum status or not.
clag is vey flammable,better if it catch fire and burn,bad if clag go to the station and enter to the offices,may catch fire inside and damage persons.
Next time you do a cold start let's see a ton of black smoke flames that to the moon and a supper loud back fire you hear for miles and it blows a stack out with Fire lots of Fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😁😁😁😁😁🙂🙂🙂😌😌😊😊😊🎱🎱🎱🎱 Boom
Yes, I remember only to well ! Slipped to a stand in park street tunnel on the postal ecs one morning just after we got them as replacements for the 25s. Couldn't believe how underpowered they were compared with the sultzer and they'd loose their footing for a pastime ! Cabs used to fill up with fumes when you had them running wide open too.
@@MrGodzilla6 Greta Thunberg has declared global warming and climate change is taking place. These polluting locos must be sliced apart with cutting torches and the scrap sent for melting down and recycling.
@@PreservationEnthusiast global warming is a load of bullshit its a myth a volcano puts out more than a 1000 if these locos running up and down a main line
@@ebddenby8439 I have been wondering why do these engines take so long to fire up? I mean if it was a hospital genny then all those on life supports would be dead by the time it fires,lol,but i would like to know,i do love these old beasts !
@@peterkwakman7440 they start with another engine called a donkey engine. There's no key to be used like your car these engines are far to big for a battery and starter motor. That tiny donkey engine sounds like something out of a moped and it builds up oil pressure eventually turning the main engine and pumping fuel at the same time. These locos will not be in everyday use so they will be harder to start compared to everyday locomotives.
I am a simple man... I see "WITH FLAMES", I click
I concur!
Wish i could go back to the era of diesel locos like these, so unique!
It wasn't that good! I worked on these locos in the 80s
@@phantomsvideos bullshit
Yeah. I miss the filthy stations, having to close windows in tunnels and trains breaking down.
Nah, Greta ruined all that!

Love EE cold starts, one cylinder at a time!!
@SpeedbirdConcorde Indeed Brush built loco, but if memory serves me correctly the engine is an EE 12svt. Takes a while to get to twelve though.
@@metalwraith6162 Yes. They ripped out the original Mirlees engines pretty quickly.
Emissions certified by VW!!
No smoke no poke
Right! I think VW are envious about that 🙄
The guy standing on the bridge just lost his eyebrows.
That was me 😂😂
Chuga Choo Choo! I'm a train and I approve this video :D
Fire 🔥 and back fire
Amazing what happens when the second bank starts firing.

I remember leaving Sheffield for Derby on a cold winters night with a 31/4 up front with Sparks coming out mid eighties.
I believe you BR boys never switched them off while away from depots because of the preparation and hassle starting these up
had the privilege to shunt class 31 on the mail train nights at huddersfield
A few little wisps, then... CLAG!!
I think the guy on the bridge was considering cooking some sausages for breakfast. ;-)
I love the heritage locos, the 31's are amongst my favourites. But must admit to being biased to the original Brunswick Green livery

A Toffee Apple with an attitude problem, she did not want to start.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY LOCO!
I Wonder if that bloke standing on the bridge would of had his eyebrows singed if he’d been standing right above it 🤣🤣
another loco that should be returned to mainline service immediately and orders for new one placed.
“New one” ?
Have they let you back into society yet?
Great video

CHEERS Greta
No risk to the engine. Like most things it is cultural and fiscal. It is what it is.
@@Mankymeg Who?
Yes , no sense of fun the Germans 👋
Only joking BTW😆
iirc it's something about them not normally ever being shut down back when they were in normal service with BR
Cough it up. There you go! Lovely!

All these locos in the UK are so smokey… what’s up with that?
these are old locos
great catch!
It would be interesting to read a comparison between this and a steam loco for true toxic emissions and carcinogenics.
I understand that any pollution from steam locomotives falls out of the air because it's heavy.
This: lots of crap comes out when it's starting.
Steam: lots of crap comes out the whole time it's running.
@@beeble2003 So why have diesel vehicles all been fitted with DPFs? Diesel particulates are harmful. why do you think modern networks are electrified?
It is far worse. Studies were done many years ago.
@@robertmarsh3588 which one?
Savage! 💥🔥
Cool did u see the flames when she started up I see a person on the bridge good job he didn't stand too near might have got burnt haaaaa.

With flamees (hellfire)! Cool.
God created the earth, and on the seventh day, created EE engines for fun !
I bet the owners wished it looked like that now .
Classic 👍
The modern electric locomotives don’t have the character of these old diesel ones
That phrase (or one like it) has been used since railways were invented!
Little wonder Stonebridge Park & Euston drivers refused to work them on the ECS diagrams, your eyes used to be burning.

It could use a lot more fire & a lot of big blast's our of the stack's.
Bloody hell
Should have been a man and filmed it from the footbridge!
It looks so wrong 🤣
what the hell is the matter with UK engines
That engine is starting up perfectly well.

Good for the inviorment
A steam lokomotive is cleaner than the diesel lokos in the UK
The majority of diesels are far far newer…
But they dont sound as good !😀

They smell beter
