OMG! And I accuse my dog of making strange noises!

That’s definitely a lot of spluttering noise coming from that 20

Is there any chance of preheating these engines?

40 years ago a bloke up the road from my parents used to have an austin cambridge diesel that was like this to start up it took forever so when it did finally go he had forgotten why he was going out !

Great work, filthyoilyfitter! Can I use a portion of your train videos on my channel? I'll mention your name and link to your video in the description!

Class 20

Living in the "land of the Thumper" it was common to hear EE cold starts, and even when warmed up you could hear them for miles!

Sounds like it never fired on all cylinders.

Listed in the Owner’s Manual:- “…and your new locomotive is equipped with a visible confirmation of engine start feature!”

A Chopper Choppin , love it.

toton depot 1981...

So much for saving our planet 🙄

Sounds like a bloke we had in the Army in 68.....he used to wake up every morning at 0530 and spark up a Cravan A fag..he used to start coughing on what sounded like one lung and it took a while before he could start coughing on two lungs...we nicknamed him one lung..he sounded just like that loco firing up...👍👍

What a brilliant sound

No RPM no turbo

Impressive. Pure filth.

Lovely

That's what we want back on our railways, scrap HS...bl**dy..2 and let get a few1000 of these, I guarantee the British people will be happy! #econonsense! 🇬🇧

The starter motor and it’s power cables and battery must be under some amps turning that over for that time length

Continue pressing thr keys. It will move.

Not an engine.

Far more fun than lighting up a steam engine,no green smoke here 😆

amazing

awesome

Somebody forgot to pull the choke lol.

It’s been a long time not seeing anything from you, but as short as this video was, I enjoyed seeing the 37 going by. And, of course, listening to the tractor.

How much fuel do they throw out the top when they are that cold

man i love these diesel engine sounds

Why don't they fire up like some sort of TDi?

Lovely whistling sound, fantastic 👍

Even at the end it sounded like it was running on 7 not 8

What happens to the unburnt fuel that is drawn into the non firing cylinders? Also, what makes the initially non firing cylinders start firing - is it just warming of the block etc from all the combustion going on in neighbouring cylinders?

Good job no flames under that wire!

Scrap the heap of junk...

DId none of these old diesels have glow plugs? Love how fire up one cylinder at a time, evetually.... donk.... donk....donk......donk donk..... donk....donk.....donk, donk, donk...

A fellow I used to know collected vintage fire engines. One of them had a three pin mains plug exiting the oil sump. We worked out that because it Had come from the north of england, the sump contained a heater that would be left on when the engine was stopped, thereby eliminating the Need to warm up the vehicle before use. Pity these clagg machines don’t employ some similar system! Easier starting too!

And on a clear day the views are fantastic.

@filthyoilyfitter I said I would make a track out of this in the comments a few months back - and it happened. I've made a techno tune out of this vid! If it makes a single penny I'll send it to Bo'ness to help get her back up and running as I hear she's out of service atm. Link: ua-cam.com/video/rpTJJFINkKw/v-deo.html Of course I've credited you sir. This just HAD to be done :)

Great bit of footage!

What a nice music 😎

True fact: class 20s don't have a starter motor -- they have a goose running on a treadmill. You can hear it at the start.

That's mega thrash love to hear these beasts screaming out that english electric power!!!

Is it starting or playing techno?

Idiots that DO NOT KNOW what the electric heater is and prefer to kill the engine :/

Idiots forgot to put electric heater in the engine room :/

Hellfire

Its still unbelieveable looking at these old engines starting up. Why didnt they install a simple heater burner to heat up the intake air, making the start much easier - and - a lot less messy. Stone age technology really, and a prominent example of British industrial tech from the era ...
