Dave Peacock starts 40145 up in cold conditions, in readiness for a loco shunt.
Both 40145 and 50015 were moved to Buckley Wells, where 40145 was inspected and cleared for running on the East Lancs Ambassador railtour, involving two class 40s along the length of the ELR, followed by a non-stop run to Edinburgh with 40145.
A video showing the loco move will be available shortly...

It is very clear to me you could not wire up a plug socket let alone understand the true meaning of this video. As i am a fully qualified engineer for over 26 years (Clearly you are not) you will never understand why i and 371 thousand plus viewers have enjoyed this upload. D335Media and spent time and effort to film it edit it then upload it to You Tube so we can all share his enjoyment. You have restricted your site and you hide behind it. Then spew out very immature comments You have never taken the time to upload a vid allow others to comment on your interests. BUT THE MOST INTERESTING PART IS YOU HAVE WATCHED THE VID YOURSELF ????? Have a nice day child. :)

This was like watching James Stewart fire up the Phoenix (c'mon girl, c'mon). I'm not an enthusiast by any stretch, but these beasties used to keep me awake on a warm summer night and on 'til early morning. Not because they were annoying, but because the sound was so addictive, and the station is a good half mile away. Took me ages to nail down which loco was responsible, and without youtube I couldn't have done it. So great to hear that sound again! 5 stars from me.

@joha77johaa The idle governor on these things gets its data from the oil pressure; as the oil is cold and thick the pressure is higher than normal so the governor think it's revving faster than it really is. So it cuts the engine back. Then of course the pressure drops so it revs up again - and cuts it back - and revs it up and so on. All settles down as the oil warms up

@rechelieu Well said! In any case no diesel would start at Siberian temperatures. They are fitted with block heaters to make sure they start at all, they do that in Canada as well I believe. The engine in the class 40 when running hot and set up correctly are very clean burning engines. The emergency supply for the Post Office Tower in London uses three 16SVT engines and they are not allowed to emit smoke at all!

@joha77johaa: An answer to your question. Because it was so cold, the throttle was opened slightly to allow the fuel to flow through the engine better. Because of this sudden change, the engine builds up the revs and looses them again as the power is overloaded, and so the process repeats. The engine run fines in idle, and many british locos have a similar fault when started in cold conditions.

@2010monkeywrench 14 жыл бұрын

Love this startup. Each engine is distinct and depends on cylinder/injector condition. What little heat is in the atmosphere is compressed into a small space, raising the temperature to ignite as much atomized fuel as is present. The best cylinder injector combo starts this off and hopefully others will lend help as pressure seals off the rings and cylinder heat builds from cranking. The motorman holds back on the fuel rack to prevent too much fuel from cooling things off.

@canellenac "The origins of the Class 40 fleet lay in the prototype diesel locomotives (Types D16/1 ordered by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and British Railways and D16/2 ordered by British Railways between 1947 and 1954) and most notably with the Southern Region locomotive No. 10203, which was powered by English Electric's 16SVT MkII engine developing 2,000 bhp (1,460 kW). The bogie design and power train of 10203 was used almost un-changed on the first ten production Class 40."

@Rainhill1829 - The fire bell rings like a fire bell in a building would. If there's a fire in the engine room, the bell would ring. The bell usually tinkles a few times when the engine starts because of how everything is wired up, but when the engine is constantly being turned to get it fired up, the bell is still being rung as part of the starting circuit.

@3DPeter Hi Peter, This engine is definitely not worn out at all, it has not long ago been fully rebuilt. It is only smoking like this because of the excess fuel that has built up in the exhaust system. When this does finally burn it does so very inefficiently but the smoke soon clears once all cylinders are firing. If it was burning oil in the way you say, it would run away with catastrophic consequences. So dont make ill researched comments about something people have worked very hard on.

@Kromaatikse 14 жыл бұрын

To clarify further: English Electric engines don't have cylinder pre-heaters, unlike German engines of the time that were used in some other locos. This is why they have trouble starting from cold, as effectively the starter motor is used to heat the cylinders enough to let one or two of them fire. The "hunting" at cold idle is probably due to the cold governor being sluggish to react - this runs off the engine oil which is still very cold. Once warmed up, it all behaves normally.

@formidable38 14 жыл бұрын

@joha77johaa The governors these old engines use are controlled by oil pressure. When the engine is cold the oil is thick, this causes the governor to be slow in reacting to the change in crankshaft speed and consequently to adjust the fuel rack to obtain a smooth idle. When the oil warms up and becomes thinner, the governor can control the fuel rack quicker and so get a smooth idle.

The bell sounds as a warning to make sure no one has a naked flame anywhere near the loco at start up. All that white stuff you see coming out of the exhaust ports before the engine fires is Diesel vapour and air. Do I need to explain the hazard further?

@MihalisNavara 12 жыл бұрын

@singletrackmatt Before the cylinders fire up, the diesel is forced to the exhaust by the piston. When it gets in contact with the frozen exhaust pipe, it becomes liquid again. (Exactly the same happens with cold cola cans and steam). When the cylinders fire up at last, there is already much diesel concentrated in the exhaust pipes. The fire from the cylinders ignite it and that΄s why we see the fire.

@2010monkeywrench 14 жыл бұрын

Compression pressure varies a lot on a worn engine and that is all a diesel has to heat up the air hot enough to burn the atomized fuel. In cold weather, the worn rings, worn injectors just don't make for easy starting. All that white smoke is unburnt fuel. The first hard puff is the highest compression, best injector combo to get enough heat to fire off. Then the heat builds until the next one goes, etc. Governor engine rpm hunting is normal when cold.

How common is the fire ball at 2:38? I am JUST getting into sound in DCC. These videos make me want to get a similar loco to have sounds like these for startup! I wonder if I could have two schemes in the decoder, one for a cold engine and one for a warm engine ;)

@Chris.Strange 9 жыл бұрын

Benjamin Hill, Some British locos take ages to start now because they don't have engine pre-heaters fitted. They were designed to be in use most of the time and never cooled down to the temperatures they are started from now in preservation. When in regular service they start on the button with ease. This loco is a Class 40 and has an English Electric 16SVT MKII engine fitted. It is a 2000hp engine and has 16 cylinders all of which are 15.445 Litres displacement. In US terminology that's 942 cu in per cylinder. Not easy to start from dead cold.

To give you an idea on how long technology takes to catch up to today's standards EMD/Progress Rail finally has a tier 4 compliant engine they can sell. The old 2 stroke 710G class engine wouldn't pass tier 4 standards without after exhaust treatment. EMD didn't want to use that system so they had to design with Caterpillar a new locomotive engine EMD's first 4 stroke engine. EMD used the same basic two stroke platform since 1939 and went progressively like this Each engine model is the cubic inch displacement per cylinder 567 in v-6 thru v-16 idle 275 rpm to 800-900 rpm 645 v-8 -12 -16 v-20 710 series v-12 to v-20 rated max was 5000 hp New SD70ACe-T4 rated at 4400 hp with the new 1010 4 stroke engine multiple turbos 1010 cubic inches per cylinder NO After engine exhaust treatment required. Max rpm is 1000 Long live the two stroke engine the two stroke is dead. EMD will continue to make parts for all the 2 strokes they made As that is really their core business PARTS is profit.

@Xenon3149 Nope, the Class 40s were fitted with English Electric 16SVTs. Class 55s were fitted with the Napier Deltics.

@gw4pjq 12 жыл бұрын

Glowplugs. No not a silly question but a good idea........ until you consider the size of this engine. Each cylinder is 10 inches in diameter with a stroke of 12 inches and there are 16 cylinders. Because the cylinders are so big there is a "pocket" of well insulated hot air in the cylinder so unlike a small engine it will fire eventually. Remember when these were in revenue earning service they were kept in warmer engine sheds. Also cold air is denser so that will compensate for the "cold".

@MihalisNavara Makes perfect sence.

Physics at its best. Great feed back. I Love to learn.

This type (Class 40) was well known for the whistling sound of the turbochargers at idle. And as a diesel-electric, it does have a governor as part of the main control gear - the other half of which is the load regulator which adjusts the generator field strength.
