In my opinion the SCOTRAIL CLASS 158s are probably one of the best DMUS SCOTRAIL has to offer don't get me wrong I like the 170 but I just think you get a better engine sound
Nope, they’re just normal turbo diesels, the ones we have at ScotRail have the original Cummins Engine, and the whistling you can here is because the engines are cam shafted.
@@EnchantGaming2003 indeed the NT855 was originally designed in the 60s although Cummins updated it in the 90s when it became the N14, the Perkins unit sounds a lot nicer and the exhaust sounds a more grunty than they do with the Cummins.

Indeed, noisy little things. It seems they are so under-powered that the are only operated in digital mode: full power or idle. Their acceleration is fairly slow (compare to DB class 644 e.g.)
Believe it or not, these are far from the slowest DMUs we have here. Most other comparable DMUs from the 1980s to the 2000s take around three minutes to reach 60mph from a stand!
Don’t you just love the 158 thrash noise?
No
Love it
Love that groan noise when the train departs around notch 3
a 158 working with a turbostar? now I didn't expect to see that
It's not uncommon around here!
iiiiiiiiii☘
In the days of Central Trains, it was still far from uncommon
I've worked the 158s since they replaced the 47 Push Pulls on the E&Gs.
Gosh! I would hope that you enjoy doing it if you've been working with them since then?
Cummins just do the best sounding engines, both for the British Rail classes and for older Foden, DAF and ERF lorries!
Class 158 are my favourite train thanks for the video
Class 90s was my favourite before when new ones took over

I love it great video ❤️👍🏻
OK 🐑 0:02
Are the Perkins engines twin charged?? Sounds like a supercharger fed turbo engine.

The Perkins engines are much more modern, and have a smaller turbo.

Not as bad as other diesels

@@ThingsWithEngines DB had a similar one: Class 628, also with fluid transmission and a locking torque converter. This was equally sluggish
Loud engines are largely attractive to railfans. Here's an even noisier one: ruclips.net/video/JUBNr_e3ZqY/видео.html
Why the hell does the front look like that ewwwwe
It’s so that when two or more units are joined together, everyone can walk through the whole train instead of being confined to a single unit.
