- 37419 Trying it's best to start in very cold conditions on the 8th February 2007 at Old Oak Common Depot LONDON UK.
The power unit is clearly COLD hence the reason it is struggling to start.It does start once the cylinder temperature rises around the 1:12 min mark.
So,Please, Please stop telling us all how cold it is in your country this video is not about that.All comments made about how cold it is in your country will be deleted,we are not interested.Thanks.
"Three Million hits" thank you all for the views. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
3 million views for an engine start-up... there must be something deeper than just passion for trains and engines ...
Yep

Snow.

It's the smoke rings
maybe its the sick beat that we get in the beginning.
Choo choo
37419 has had a overhaul since the video was taken and is still in service after 40 years of service.
👍
Greta will ban this beautiful engine 😢
A sign that 60 years later the English Electric type 3 or class 37 is still in service very reliable and robust locomotives obviously quite a few scrapped but also many in preservation and in front line service still with various rail operators a testimony to their design and build quality 👍

@@henrikbragge Greta is right. We can't have these polluting emissions now. Not only particulates and unburnt hydrocarbons but also carbon dioxide causing global warming and climate change.
The remaining 37s need to be sold to CF Booths and sliced apart with cutting torches. The metal will be chopped into small pieces ready for melting so these locos can no longer pollute.
Great video. Love the 37s. For the uninitiated among you, English Electric Type 3s (later Class 37s under the TOPS coding system) were built in the 1960s after British Railways sought to eradicate steam. BR, rather strangely, didn't feel the need to specify Cold Starting abilities when they were in the ordering process, which is why almost all pre-1980s BR diesels struggle to start. The engine oil systems and engine governor do not work properly until it is warm, hence the struggle to start. Cl
Horrible locos. Polluters.
I'm privileged to have worked on the first, D6700
I had a Ford Transit di once that used to take longer to start than this😂. 3 starter motors, 4 batteries and lots of swearing were used during the winter of 2010 !

I feel like this trying to get out of bed in the morning.
+Alycidon Deltic LOL So True! :D
Alycidon Deltic Ha ha, seems like the loco is saying ' Oh god, do I really have to go out in this weather??'
I hear ya!
Do you fart like that too?
You poor bugger!
I drive a heavy truck and know what it's like to coax a cold diesel into firing! I loved listening to the cylinder by cylinder firing. Great exhaust shots!
Since I was a child I loved diesel engines, particularly locomotives and tractors. There is something so nostalgic and charismatic about them. Am I the only one?
No, you're not the only one.
same here
Nope! There are hundreds of thousands of us.
No, you're Not alone!👍
Same here. I feel there’s something more primordial/beastly with huge diesel engines. Love them! When i was a kid i could watch a big tractor starting up and watch it going idle for a loong time until it went away to do it’s tasks.
Remember seeing one of these start up in Kings Cross station when I was a kid. The whole platform around the engine shook. Absolutely wonderful!
Up-vote if you periodically come back to view this clip and ask yourself "Why am I doing this?"
i periodically come back but know exactly why.... I'm addicted to class 37 Clag and Hellfire
@@tomgauntlestrange BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE DELTICS.
@@terrelmchenry9524 This isn't a Deltic, Its a class 37.

What an incredible sight!
That 37 looks stunning in that livery and the weather too. Wonderful!
Well done! Captured the entire start-up. I love how you can hear each cylinder as it comes on line.
This is definately in my Trains Playlist!
Love those E.E units. Nothing quite sounds...or smokes...like them!

An absolute enthusiast dream . The class 37 was epic diesel and always felt more pure power than its 1750 BHP. It must continue in private enthusiast hands so that children today know what a beast of a diesel this is. You cannot have F1 without the engine song and it's the same for diesels. They have a life & soul which electric will never provide to the world. Just iconic & brill
Like James Stewart in 'Flight of the Phoenix'
In the end, the old girl started: the smoke changed colour. In the US, we don't run anti-freeze in our locomotives, so once it gets down to freezing (32* or 0*, take your pick) the engines arn't shut down.
Wants to be a steam loco when it grows up.
The heat generated by the hard working batteries, to start the engine, eventually radiated to the engines and consequently heated up the engine enough for it to actually start. Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant. Watched this a few times now.
got to be the best cold start on TH-cam
great video with the snow contrasting with the 37's paint scheme and the exhaust smoke. a case of being at the right place at the right time!
Many years since I've heard that beautiful sound. ..thank you.
This video was apart of my childhood on TH-cam, such memories
4.1 million views, and every one of them left wanting more of this glorious scene!
Old machines are way more interesting than any new junk.
It was based in Inverness. Took me to school many times. You will still see the old Highland rail logo on the side of the nose. 37400-37425 were all based at Inverness during the 1980's.
That's cool I would actually of liked to watch it come to temperature and be running nicely .
At -01c we still picnic and swim here in Canada...
Ricardo Testa agreed! -01 isn't really that cold at all...
779nkp DOES IT LOOK WARM OR COLD? A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER IT'S NOT HOT IS IT.NO
GRIDMASTER6 when you've felt -20 below zero plus a windchill which makes it -30.....0 degrees is pretty balmy
779nkp In the UK any negative temperature is considered cold. Even in the height of winter we rarely get below -8. So for us, and the 37 (which doesn't have preheaters) yes it's cold.
cjmillsnun acrually most engines can start fine without any hesitation well into the -20s c that pos engine is broken or sumtin
Less emissions than a VW Golf !!
+cielobuio VW
But the running sound is almost the same;)
@@ahtikalevikoponen2954 I'd say that older BMW 4cyl diesels (M47) are the most tractor sounding engines
And more reliable than a coal stove.
A Brit friend of mine, online, is an engineer.. I didn't realize he was connected to trains. He told me to come and look up MAYBACH..I didn't realize what Mayback Music is either..Well, I'm here and now I'm looking at ALL the engines..What a Hoot..lol Thanx for putting this up here...truly...I too always loved the Trains..A Dame in Calif.. xxx ;)
Best train video I've seen yet.
Another fine summer day in North Dakota.
love the individual puffs of exhaust!
I've watched this beauty dozens of times - shear magic.
It's like a percussion instrument.
good sound.
:^)
Sounds like horses clapping along at about 1 min :P
Nice work, cheers!
Everyone in the village knew when young Jim was firing up his Class 37.......LOL always park it upwind of town lads!
I can remember looking at this video nearly 10 years ago!
I watch this video every Xmas lol
Just luv watching this video over n over again!!
Ive subscribed ...
Great stuff! I love the way the engine nearly dies, and then continues to splutter to life - wonderful. Was the photographer covered in as much snow as the engine?
Why do i find myself 'bobbing' my head to this?!?!......just like i do whilst listening to an Inkjet printer. Great vid, great sound. 10/10
I had a 335 Cumins in an old KW that blew smoke rings like that, YEARS ago. One drippy injector is all it takes. Great video!
ah well done old girl you got there
Love it😁😁😁
These things were built in the early '60s, there are no glow plugs, block heaters or anything else to aid a cold start. Back when they were in common useage, standard practise was to just leave them running. There's nothing wrong with it, all English Electric Diesels were like that from a stone cold start, crank it over until you get one or two pots firing then leave it to warm up.
+owen lewis I heard some of the big ass fairbanks diesels wouldnt stop running until you rebuilt them. Pretty cool stuff
crank it till its warm lol....
not crank, run
Better to shut the engine down and restart when needed again. Idling diesel engines for extended periods causes the cylinder bores to become glazed. Diesels love and need hard work. Great to see a cold start like this. Just wish the video had run longer so we could see the exhaust clear clear as complete combustion is achieved. Compression ignition is a fascinating process.
@@supermajor2759 bores glaze over? Piffle.
After all this years, the best thing I have seen today !
This was one of the first videos i ever saw in TH-cam!
Looks and sounds like my old Grandad when he was trying to get his first Woodbine of the day going.
love the "popping"
Very nice video :) I also see now why the 37's are nicknamed Tractors; that distinctive Engine noise says it all :D
A great piece of film - setting and action superb !
Utterly well done, lads... in that kind of arctic weather ..
The sounds in the video give me the goosebumps :D
Always love seeing those tractors.
I come back to this one again and again.
What a magnificent beast ! :)
topautos You should look at steam engines!
hey that's kind of like me in the mornings.
And me
Poor old girl, she seems to be channeling all of the steam locos of yesteryear! Sounds like Ivor the Engine... ;-)
i love trains, and i love cold starts.. perfect video!
I have one of these Loco's still runs fine, mine was built by TRI- ANG, sadly it doesn't sound as good as this one
Educational post - I didn't know -1C was considered "cold."
suck on an icecube and tell me about how 'cool' it is
It is in the UK, apparently.
But I agree. -30ºC would be proper cold.
***** good for it
I think you need to back to school and find out what hot and cold are.Does it look warm,No .And would the engine struggle to start if it was warm? No. if the engine was hot or warm it would have started straight away. So we don't need to hear that you all live in Antarctica and its only - 50C outside and still feels warm.
But lets not forget locos don't have any components that aid in starting in the cold and as a railroader on the prairies of Canada I have witnessed my fair share of cold (-40ºC) weather.
that was amazing to see her starting up in the cold. Love the sounds
Thanks for sharing
I love diesel train. Thanks, greeting from ndonesia
just like me in the morning - smoke rings and all .... lol
Choo-choo!!!! I bet a can of Bradex Easy-Start would have got that going in a jiffy.
It's not easy to cold start a locomotive easy start wouldn't work on a locomotive dumbass
fluchter1996 It might help, But if it has an issue with idle, Then it's still not gonna be easy.
Nathaniel S It does help - that's why we use it on our own locomotive.
Nathaniel S When a diesel cold starts like this sometimes only 1 cylinder is firing. That's why it sounds so rough idling and that's why there is so much smoke. Once the engine has warmed up it will idle properly and have little to no unburned fuel in the exhaust.
fluchter1996 glad to see I'm not the only one who gets this type of answer , well done on a fantastic retort!
it shows britain did build and is still going today,i guess this in away overshadows what we cannot build anymore! well done guys, merry christma))
In my opinion this is the best sound of cold start!
cool video. If -1c is cold or warm to you, right on buddy. nobody gives a fuck about your temperature threshold.
shame that people are more interested in arguing about temps..
Yes people seem more interested in what they call cold in what ever country they come from. The engine in the video is cold period. It's not warm as the video clearly shows.
-1 isn't even that cold, The engine is just so damn big it takes alot of power to get it Turning.
+RiceReaper It cold hence the reason its struggling to start .
Where was the shed man to run the engines every few hours or keep them running in severe weather conditions, oh i forgot we privatised our railways and got rid of lots of staff.
were you the shed guy that started em up every few hours
Very nice! Big up from Romania!
It's reminiscent of starting up a diesel tractor on the farm on a cold winter morning--sputtering on a few cylinders until it warms up enough to fire on all...
Did she ever start??
Yes she did start .
OK that's good to know
+Whistle Stop Productions It's running by itself from 0:10 on, but not on all cylinders.
ohhhhh that might explain all the chugging
+CreRay why not?
this is movie is the best. good. i like. i loved.
i have movies in the trains in de Brazil. see.
love the rings its shootin out
Love this video. Kinda like an old monster trying to wake up and lots of snow for England. Thanks
COF COF COF... What a hard starting engine. FABULOUS!
Saw this beast earlier in the week heading North through Newcastle with an inspection saloon. Monster!
That is a cold start indeed!
Best stationary 37 video on TH-cam. No doubt
Smiffy1071 - Please pardon my ignorance of British Locomotive classes. Most of my knowledge of your locomotives has come from books until recent years. I do remember the English Electric Lightning as I actively sought and built many Airfix models as child. I work in the transportation industry and many of our older diesel trucks start like this when the mercury drops
as a cold start fan, i approve
DANM YOU DB SCHENKER! I want the old EWS livery back, it looks great on engines, mainly 66s
@cielobuio The batteries are 110 volt 180 amps hours.You could turn the power unit over for about 5 minutes on fully charged batteries.To start this loco you would need to prime the oil for 3 minutes before pushing the start button.By doing this you get oil pressure to the governor that in turn opens the fuel racks to allow fuel into the cylinders.The video shows that in action but due to the power unit being so cold it struggles to start .But in the end it fires and all 12 cylinders.
I never would of thought it would of started. That is a well built tight diesel engine.
Take that environment!!! Awesome
I own the 4mm scale model by Bachmann of this particular 37 in EWS livery. Stunning model of a stunning locomotive.
This video sums up exactly how i feel every morning.
Awsome! That lady is really fighting agains't the Cold to start up!
This had me rocking in my chair willing it to start......I recon easy start spray next time..... :-).........
EXACTLY, like ME, each Morning!!😂😂😂
Love this video. Just willing that engine to spool up.
Cool start up video.
Cool engine and nice motor start. Thumbs up! :)
Cold is right. Lived round n/w Ohio and the old nickle plate rail road. Pour buggers have a rough time. Once warmed up they become awesome giants.tks from old rail fan 73,88 om
We all know and love that wonderful sound when the engine finally fires up!
Excellent video well done, I watched it twice!
The electrical system in the UK is indeed 110 volts DC.
In the USA it is 74 volts DC.
And although a cold start seems to be a problem it really is not.
In the USA we simply connect another locomotive and it will provide traction voltage, 600 volts DC, turning the generator into a motor and cranking the engine directly.
The big advantage of a traction start is that the engine is spun at full idle speed and thus very little clag.
This one has been in Thurso, the northmost station in Scotland many times having served on the north line out of Inverness. It's nice that EWS maintained the Highland Rail logo on the cab.
I love this video, poor old girl.
Beautiful visual!
Вкуснятина!!!)))) Обожаю этот звук турбины!!!)))
It gets so cold here in America that even the ice cubes in our drinks shiver.
I miss the 37's. they were used on the Inverness to Kyle line and they were just awesome. You'd hear them miles away and crap your undies if you were walking along the track to get to the wee beaches.
