Cold Start Diesel Locomotive 40135 Dec 2001 England

One of the best "cold starts" I have ever seen on Youtube - made me shiver just watching it! Plenty of whistling and steam bonus too - well done sir!

Gordon, I'm still enjoying this video.  It's like once every three months I have to watch it.  I can not even guess how many tons this old girl has hauled around in her under appreciated life.

I wish we had these in Canada. Love the look and sound of them.

[willibill]

Ahhh Smokey old cold start locomotives from England, I just love em.

[forzafreak]

And 3... They sound amazing and certain diesels look amazing, class 31s and 08s are my personal favorites.

[tomski]

This is great...I just hooked up my mac to my hifi which has a pair of Wharfedales of the same vintage as this loco...my house is shaking and it's _exactly_ like being right next to this beauty. They must have been made for each other!

The best English Electric sound of them all . Great video .

[Mattmiller]

Think I've watched this 12 times now. Great sound. My first 40 was the D306. Beast.

[rammergramps]

I enjoy watching them start up and those that leave a bit of clag behind, thank you for sharing

[EoinK]

Sounds so smooth when the revs rise, enjoyable video, thanks for uploading.

[RODALCO]

Love the sound and the hunting of the big cold diesel. Awesome video.

[broncosgjn]

Listen to that turbo whine. I love this old beast.

[octaviodea]

True all of you: amazing machine but what's up with the enchanting hypnotic noise? Love it and leaves me in awe....thanks for video taping it !

[forresg]

these engines are classics, pure 1970s sound

[railfangig]

Brilliant - reminds me of early days on the job in the snow.

[MofoKaye]

My guess would be, this being on a small preservation railway, that one of the terminus stations doesn't have a run round loop... So the diesel pulls it one way, and then the Steam loco back the other way. Also gives visitors the opportunity to experience both of these locomotives in full swing!

[MetrobusChris]

What a Beast since watching your video i love the class 40's now i'm so into class 37's to great video by the way :)
