Great vid, 5*. Every time I see a Tractor starting from cold like this, I can't help but wonder just how much oil they use? And how long do they take to warm up and for the idle to settle down and the exhaust smoke to clear up to "normal". Anyone able to shed any light?
Its just fuel vapour I believe, from cylinders that havent fully fired or have just warmed up the injected fuel. They rev up and down because the governor is controlled by engine oil pressure, when its cold its thick so it revs up and down.
Oh dear oh dear best not show this video to the environmentalists they'll have a field day with this one. Nicely filmed/captured etc very nice well done 5*s and favorited
Dunno about the modern stuff but the older diesels didn't have antifreeze in them. Had to be run one hour in four below zero and continuously under minus four. Don't quote me on the temperatures, it was a good few years ago when I was on the footplate!
Spoken like someone who has no idea what they're talking about and just wants to sound like they really care. Do you know what really pollutes our atmosphere? Cars, trucks, and airplanes. What would be carrying all of the cargo this train can haul if it weren't around? Cars, trucks and, stay with me now, airplanes. This thing puts out way less pollution than the cars, trucks, and planes that would be required to do it's job.

When I saw the Class 08s, I was thinking: "Not so revo-thingamy now, are ya, Diesel?"
I've loved Class 37s ever since I first saw them in 1987 and I'm sure I always will love them.
THAT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TASTE SIR
I can’t believe it’s 2020 and we still have English electric locomotives kicking about
Awesome! Love the 08 cold idle!! Cheers!

More than the fuel they use I think ;)
A true work horse!

The tree huggers are all spaced out at this time of the morning. The trendy left wing students are not awake before midday.

Bit like my old mk2 escort after a heavy frost!
when diesel was cheap or they didnt care they would avoid starting them up because they would already be running

White smoke is unburned fuel right?
Yes, as I understand it.
no, black smoke is unburnt fuel
white/grey smoke is condensation
grey/blue smoke is burning oil
