@@richardraynor5242 That's actually interesting, I have very little knowledge on diesel engines. As I understand some cylinders started to properly combust before others, as you can tell by the color of the smoke from each exhaust. So this could mean that cylinders that did good combust pushed the crankshaft and helped other cylinders?

Just the battery. Usually on big locos like this the use the main generator as a starter. Run power through them and the turn, turn ‘em and they make power.

In BR days the engines were not shut down that often, only for maintenance.I have worked on all types of diesel traction over decades including 50's This was two days ! So we never got to this stage of the 50. Check out the cold start class 60 video. I was on that job. Loco shut down for a week. Flat batteries and ice in the cabs. That took a couple of hours to charge up and run right. It would only run on two cylinders to start with

Love the 50s - but they did get very dog eared toward the end of their mainline use. I remember getting into the leading coach of a train at Waterlook in the very late 1980s. A class 50 was pulling and there was a very strong smell of fuel (not exhaust) coming from it. There were a group of anoraks in the very front seats taking bets with one another about where it would fail (as they very often did then). The smell persisted through the journey. I got out at Woking so I don't know who won the bet!
