What's NOT to love about a good old "Western Clag Meister" ??? My old Dad [God rest his soul] would have been grinning "Ear to Ear" like a proper Cheshire Cat if he'd still been around to watch this with me 💙 He and I have been in the company of "The Champ" at many a Diesel Gala at the SVR over the years. I'm sure he persuaded my Mum to take our holidays in and around Plymouth so WE could go "Spotting" the Western Region rarities given we were Crewies !!! LOL 😂 Keep this kind of stuff coming my friend - loving every moment. All the very best @dave1966red
Another cracking video well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RUclips bye for now Philip
Absolutely love it gretas in the back cab you can just see onthe platform left side in white jumper 😊 i videoed it from there would love to have caught up with ive put it on yt along a quick of francis bourgeois lol
Over fuel or insufficient compression or a combination of both causing part burnt fuel to be exhausted . It was like this when it ran the Heart of Wales in about 2016 . At which point it had a problem with the turbo manifold . It wants fixing .. cut back the fuel on each cylinder until some of the fumes reduce
Lots of comments about the exhaust but consider how many old diesel white vans are out there on the roads. Makes the pollution from one loco pale into insignificance.
I too wonder at such clouds of blue. Great shots to video but do show perhaps why they are now only preserved. Let's just hope they don't offend too many people too soon. 👍👍👍👍
More oil than soot that! You can tell by the blue tinge in the smoke. White is unburnt fuel, black is soot same with grey and blue ish white is oil and unburnt fuel.
I hope it is on its way to be fixed and it will take more that a can of additive in the fuel tank! This is what gives diesels a bad name! Those passengers on Kiddy station will be complaining for sure!

Brilliant !!! Excellent video !! Superb as always,well done 😊
Another great video
Plenty of Clag !!!
A glorious sight to behold, I could almost smell it as I sat here watching
Very atmospheric departure. I just wish they'd merge the two stations.
Great video as usual 👍
Awesome Video Lovely Clag Off D1015
Lovely film 🎥
I wonder if an Italian tune-up ie some hard work would clean that up. As usual, great footage.

Smoking like a steam engine !! Greetings from germany ! even a V 200 Deutsche Bundesbahn would not smoke like this engine !
Just like the good ol' days!
Absolutely love it gretas in the back cab you can just see onthe platform left side in white jumper 😊 i videoed it from there would love to have caught up with ive put it on yt along a quick of francis bourgeois lol
Me
Like 👍beatiuful video, greetings 🚂🙋♂️
"Champion" is in touch with her inner ALCO!
That thing is an Oil burning heap, it does that on a hot day with hours of running only the clag turns darker.

right out on the mainline better make a smoke screen ;)
ULEZ springs to mind😂😂 .. lovely loco

Over 1.3 million vans over 10 years old on UK roads, 90% of which are diesel, source You.Gov
Fun to watch, but unfortunately that sort of pollution is likely to eventually lead to some kind of restrictions or banning.
A wezzie and a Deltic on both engines
Cant be beaten 😅
All those unburnt hydrocarbons!
Nice sound, though, although I still can't see why they couldn't have kept the wonderhorse in BR Maroon!

They should bottle that shit and sell it as aftershave for real men 😋🎥👌
Is that 'blast' or to fumigate Kidderminster ?
As the old saying goes, 'every day's a school day'!!! I've learnt today that Volkswagen built the 'Westerns'.......
Needs it's DPF cleaning 😂
Classic cold Engine, it needs a good revving under load for a sustained time to expand all that Metal in there, the smoking will cut right back then.
Greta won't be happy..........😂
Awesome ! i love smoking :) 🤣
Crikey! Pistons need a new set of rings!
nice to get some clag, but not good at all
that should not be smoking like that, injectors and pump need looking at.
Not exactly clag central I'm afraid, the blue smoke is because the engines cold!
The engines were certainly warm - they were already running (and smoking!) when I arrived 45 min before the departure.
Cough how cough dare cough cough you
Greta probably lol
I hope it is on its way to be fixed and it will take more that a can of additive in the fuel tank! This is what gives diesels a bad name! Those passengers on Kiddy station will be complaining for sure!
It’s because it’s just started up and is cold it will get clearer
Greta Thunberg is not pleased, but I, for one, don't care what she thinks :)
And I get penalised for global warming lol
Stinky
Wash and wear some deodorant then.
