    I was around 9-10 years olf 1 Christmas I managed to sneak into to the sidings at Blackpool North I tried the door on 1 of the Deltics it was unlocked my heart beating like I could see it bouncing around in my chest I started messing with switches pressing buttons the engine started making noise I almost filled my pants running away thinking back how did I manage? Do they not have keys to lock the doors or for the ignition?

      Multiple cylinders deciding to wake up and start firing, causes a weird firing order and sends vibration through the gear train and so on and just clunks around.

    I think that the cylinder bores are rather worn therefore the PSI at TDC is below spec causing sluggish starting and white smoke, the exhaust smoke is ladened with unburnt fuel so it probably would be best to avoid smoking a cigarette with all that white smoke in the air.
