    The class 50 has a reputation for sustained heavy smoking exhausts on start up, a preserved railway had a 50 with a shed in a town centre, the railway agreed not to start up the 50 on shed due to the complaints from the public, it would be hauled somewhere else on the line for the startup.
    Used to live at Hayes on the GW mainline, the 50s would leave Paddington and be reaching line speed of (I think 100 mph) through Hayes station, at 100 mph the50 would fly through the station the EE engine making a memorable deep bass booming sound, delightful!

      This is typical for an English Electric on a cold morning. Only barely enough compression to fire at all, no glowplugs of any kind. She cranks until a few cylinders start to hit, and then those cylinders keep the engine turning as it gradually warms up and comes alive. Eventually the driver revvs it slightly to get the last few cylinders firing and the engine ready to pull.

      The driver takes his finger off the start button at 1 minute 50 secs in the video where the engine is just about self sustaining on about half of its 16 cylinders, most of the other cylinders then start to fire as the engine picks up speed on its own slowly! From pressing the start button up until the driver releases it at 1 minute 50 the loco's generator is motoring the engine over from the locos batteries. Hope that helps!

    This Loco is in need of repair, head gaskets injectors etc, i worked with these engines for 10 years as a Shunter at Penzance, and the class 50 Locos would cover 1000 miles in 24 hours every day. Penzance to Paddington, Padd to Birmingham, then to Oxford, then Swansea, back to Padd, then Penzance. This one isn't the norm.

      If you look the driver takes his finger off the start button at 1 minute 50 on the video & the revs drop slightly before slightly recovering where it's just about self sustaining. Yes unburnt diesel vapour most of it

      This is why diesels in regular service don’t get shutdown. Better to keep them on idle than go through this routine (but it is fun to watch!).

    Reminds me of my Scania V8 143-420 back in the day. It stood like this on a cold winter day for a long time. So i drew the handthrottle back(yes they had one back in the days) and went to shower before I'd take off. Came out, and the poor cold 14,3 liter Scania engine was revving at 2000 rpm. That really hurt me. But no, the engine took no damage. Pew

  • @bogywankenobi3959

    So . . . at what point did this engine start running under its own power? When did the starter disengage? And how can you tell?
    I usually don't consider it running under its own power until I hear it rev up. But clearly that is not the case.
    Anyone? Anyone?

    • @johngoodale4961
      @johngoodale4961  2 роки тому

      At 1 minute 50 seconds you can see the driver release the start button and the engine revs drop slightly then eventually one by one most of the other 16 cylinders start firing which is enough for it to become self sustained

      @renegadeoflife87 4 роки тому +1

      Around the 4 minute mark the driver exits the cab. So the engine was awake enough to keep itself going by that point, it just only had some of its cylinders firing and was not yet ready for work. It wouldn't be ready until closer to the 8 minute mark when the driver returns and revvs it gently to get the last few cylinders hot and clear the smoke.
