    This takes me back to starting old Gardner diesels in winter. My uncle used to use an oily rag, set it alight and hold it near the air intake to get some warmth into the cylinders. If you were really posh, you had an old Tilly style paraffin blowtorch. Once it fired you went and had a brew and returned once all the inevitable clag had cleared.

    We had a hand crank diesel compressor with one cylinder. Screw a lit fusee into the cylinder while cranking. The trick is to pull the crank back at the moment the engine "caught" or you had the engine spinning the crank dangerously fast. The chug chug chug of the engine catching in the mountain air was a delightful sound and a fond memory.

      ​@@highbrookendmodelrailway ​ On the Budapest metro line 3 an automatic train driving system was installed in the 80s. The driver just operates the doors and then has to hold down a "start" button until the train completely leaves the station. Now holding down the button for long seconds is of course veeery exhausting. According to older metro drivers, one could just keep down the button by squeezing a coin in the rim, and since the train won't leave with open doors, start the trains by closing the doors. This worked until one driver got out on the (manual) cab door while the train was at the storage track at the last (over the ground) station. Just to see that the train, as it received a green light signal, dashed away without a driver on board... After that incident the operator replaced all the start buttons with mushroom-shaped ones.

    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.

    that's the reason why german locomotives even in the 60's were preheated before cranking. :P The coolant never goes below 40°C in Winter, and are warmed up to 60°C before the engine goes in service.

    • @beeble2003

      These were designed to be left idling the whole time, so starting would be very rare. And then diesel got all expensive in the 1970s...

    • @RundeKatze
      @RundeKatze 3 роки тому +2

      @@beeble2003 I think there is the main difference. In UK and many other developed countries there was much fuel available in the time between end of WWII and the 70's. So nobody cared about saving some gallons. But I think in Germany during the war fuel was rare... because.... yes.... nobody want to sell oil to the Nazis of corse and we do not have any natural resources. And after the war it was hard to rebuild all the industry and re-developing trading chains. And I think even if there was enaugh fuel available later on in western germany there was still the mindset and the bad experiences of war like: "what if we are cut out from global trade again?" So shutting down engines when they are not needed and keeping them warm with an auxillary heater is truely more efficient than idleing all the time even when it was more expensive to include such a device. Today for the last remaining engines of the late 60's and early 70's (for instance BR (Class) 218) they are lucky about having that heaters on board so they can treat the engines like a car. They also have AC Power from the grid to plug in the engines to keep the batteries charged that they don't run flat over night.

    Why cant trains have the ability to sound like this in Train Simulator? Also I do like how when the engine is turning over you can slightly hear the engine clanking inside as it's warming up.
