  • I am a fan Glory to the Chinese!

  • porno für die ohren...

  • Sounds like a Hymek on speed.

  • Reminds me of a pair of 37's with thankers thrashing up the Colne Valley towards Manchester when I was a nipper.

    Unfortunately all I get to drive thesedays is bloody 14x and 15x :(

  • Sounds like my washine machine finishing its last cycle! lol

  • Sounds like some of the kiwi freight locos - older DX class and some of the shunters they use at night lmfao, they have the similar bass note and belchy sound when they get going. Ridiculously loud, lived literally next to the main trunk line for 8 years!

  • /watch?v=enJXPVZ-omw&feature=r­elated

    

  • Oh-My-God ... What a sound !!

  • Love the way the bass note dominates at higher rpms.

  • This kicks ass !!!!!

  • Ein Ohrenschmaus !!!!!

  • Very cool. Stark contrast to, say, the British Class 35.

  • Check these ones as well watch?v=ujZG_BjTEI4

  • It sounds like an old ship.

  • Funny that many people commenting here try to compare the sound of this DF8B with European or American diesels, but in reality these Chinese engines are way louder! I have been filming this beasts with coal trains of 5000 tons on a 1,2% grade, and nothing compares to this! You can hear them on the climb for more than half an hour, and when they pass, a "wall of sound" comes towards you and the whole valley is filled with sound, even the first 10 freight cars cannot be heard because of it... :-)

  • Try this one, for example, to get an idea: watch?v=ujZG_BjTEI4

  • @qj7205

    Chinese locos are heavy duty and bigger unlike Europeans or Americans.

  • @qj7205 so when the chinese make loud machines its cooler. when the americans do its because we have small dicks. oh the double standards....

  • @tomcatdcn What are you trying to say here?

  • Unfortunately such a beautifull machines are so hard to find at HO or N scale. Fleischmann and Roco must see outside europe every now and then. As a dutchman i've been waiting a long time to se the dutch trains on scale. And i belive it will take again a log time before we can see this nice Chinese machine on our model railways.

  • @jpsholland There is actually a wide range of good quality Chinese models! :-) And usually not very expensive either! :-) Check out Bachmann China (They produce the DF8B, too! I own all 10 versions!), Haidar, CMR Line, and so on... :-) Send me a PM if you want to know more! :-)

  • @Ferronal3, Chinese people made its own engines for this thing, but imagine this with an EMD 16V710...

  • @GordonFreemanD40 Yeah, with stolen ideas from the West. Sounds just like either a Copper Bessemer or an Alco.

  • @GordonFreemanD40 DF8B engine site said these early engine were powered by cat 3516 and cat 3616 6500 horse, and uprated to chinese license built GE 16V280jza, in any case the engine sounds are either cat 16s or GE 16Vs,

  • how much HP does it produce?

  • This thing sound more like the GE's Dash 8 units. Is it a GE or a foreign built locomotive?

  • @BNforever2009 It's a Made in China locomotive.

  • hahaha sounds like my straight 8 in my truck

  • goodlord, this thing just made me orgasm all over the desk. What's the specs on these engines?

  • Nothing beats a diesel electric for gut shaking sound. Makes me want to straddle it and cry "Power, unlimited power!" at the top of my lungs.

  • Best sound ever! 

  • Is it Chinese locomotive????????????????????

  • hipnotizing sound

  • .does anyone know how they operate two diesel locos on a frieght train...i see them n always wonder how they do it

  • @onlyazzu Yep! In a multiple-unit consist the unmanned "slave" units are connected to the "master" unit where the driver is via cable. Because the throttle is notched, a binary signal can be used which is very easy to transmit to the other engines.

    A special type of engine called a "slug" is sometimes used for slaves. It's a normal loco but with the diesel prime-mover removed, and sometimes doesn't even have a cab. At low speeds a prime-mover can often make more power than the traction motors

  • can use, so a slug can be used to put that extra power to use and provide more tractive effort.

  • @milkymoocowmoo Thanks..... a lot for the info mate... i had a slight idea but now can understand the techinical side of it... cheerss once again... great work....

  • awesome.............

  • sounds like a hydrolich

  • EMD motor or GE motor?

  • @Ferronal3

    16V280

  • Badass sound!

  • Perfekt sound  100%

  • do these things have tramission with gears and stuff?

  • This video is the best of all, that are about the sound engine diesel locomotive

  • WTF! I would not cross the street at that hour ...

  • Sorry about the language to everyone in my last remark to delticdickhead, but I am just so sick of all these English Electric premadonna bashers of the last thirty years or so.

    Stopped going out on 37s over fifteen years ago for that reason!!!!

    P.S.done hundreds of thousands of miles on 37s, 40s 50s & Deltics, does that not say something about these people?

    - and quite a few on Sulzers too!!

  • @TONYBROWNE114 Yeah, same as that LOL.

  • Realy nice sound!! Here are a silencer not a big issue.

  • gosh sounds like a beast!

  • Ah reminds me of the engine sounds i would hear when i was younger and live near the R.R. tracks XD would always hear engines been tested before taking off.

  • nothing like a diesel pumping out the big hp's and extreme torque!

  • Eargasm! ... I want a car that sounds like that ...

  • 4 stroke V12, sounds like a NewZealand DX loco.

    beautiful sound, absolute music to my ears.

  • Sounds like a turbine in there? Or is that my imagination?

  • @sixstringsmark no thats what diesels sound like

  • gorgeous sound. It's music to my ears...

  • can it pull the skin of a rice pudding

  • @bobvdeltic 5000HP and geared for freight, what a fucking idiotic remark to make.

    Better than all the silenced shit/DMU dessert of the UK in the lasIt twenty years or so, I'm now in Australia to get away from idiots like you!!

    There are other railways in the World apart from Britain you know, why don't you try and go out there and broaden your obviously narrow mind on the subject.

    If Britain is so fucking great these days, why are all their fucking trains built abroad?

  • @TONYBROWNE114 HA HA, what a great post, you da man! See my home page and all will be revealed. I get pissed off with dullec this, dullec (deltic) that. What a load of crap!

    Narrow minded dick heads, you got that right!

  • @TONYBROWNE114

    its a good job your over there you soft lad i was only asking since iam blind and i can only hear the sound don't take life hard chief try walking in my shoes

  • @bobvdeltic perhaps if you had said that in the bloody first place, you might not have got up peoples noses!!!

    Now get off my case please , have had enough of people's bullshit for one lifetime thank you.

  • @TONYBROWNE114 absolutely well said.

  • @TONYBROWNE114 Oh, why spoil this video by having this foul mouthed rant as the first comment that you see. What a disappoinment. :-(

  • @AndreiTupolev WHY?? Probably because he's pissed off reading stupid comments from brit trainspotters who think that the only loco in the world is either a feckin deltic or a smokey 37 Same as i am.

  • @AndreiTupolev shut up nob head! ha ha ha only kidding! :)

  • @TONYBROWNE114 Yeah its an embarrassment. There's no manufacturing in this country any more thanks to Margret Thatcher and the like. Can't believe they are making a film in honour of that bitch. Not everyone wants to work in the services industry, just fucking boring if you ask me! lol

  • @bobvdeltic Well its 480kn, a class 60 is 473kn starting TE. This thing is also over 5000hp so thats a stupid question and for someone who has a user name of something that COULDNT pull the skin off a rice pudding, probably not a good idea to throw stones!

  • Really a great and an amazing sound. Good job.

  • good stuff

  • We had the old English Electric 4SRKT engines where l worked on the railway,lovely sound to them.We had a "load bank" of resistors to simulate the load of a train on the generators,l'd guess this loco's plugged into one!

  • nice whine from the turbo's spool down as he releases the power back to idle

  • Great Sound the Engine test!

    =)

  • That is a wonderful diesel sound! Fantastic!

  • i think it sounds good at 0:55

  • If he releases the clutch at 3:20 he can make a donut !

  • @pablof59 Diesel Electric locomotives dont have clutches they use electric transmission. The motor is directley hooked up to a gennerator which makes electricity for the electric traction motors that are conected to the wheels. like an electric locomotive which carries its own powerplant. but I see your point that would be cool. they should make a sport for locomotives kind of like tractor pooling, that would be awsome

  • @Sohave seems to be an inefective design

  • @FernandoH321 Not really there is ofcause a heat loss but you would also find that in a geared transmission. But they do use gears in som locomotives but that is only small switcher engines not capable of greater speeds of more than like 70 kmh. Diesel electrics are quiet common. but there are also diesel hydraulic locomotives. look that up if you are interested.

  • @Sohave I'm taking a degree in mechanics and I'm quite interested in those subjects (naturaly). Thanks for the infos.

  • @Sohave

    Well, I guess FernandoH321 simply means that noise indicates energy-loss... The more silence, the more efficiency... And he has a point, of course... On the other hand, these seem to be very robust and very reliable engines... (Chinese diesels run without obvious problems in the very cold North, the very dusty West and the hot and humid South, and I have almost never known such a locomotive that failed...) So it seems the lack of efficiency is (partly) compensated for by reliability...

  • I love the sound of these things reminds me a an alco 251ce, thanks for sharing.

  • it is based on the romanian locomotive or its the same like LDE4000?

  • Nu are nici o legatura cu LDE4000 produs de Electroputere!

  • In nici-un caz.........DF-ul din fata e total conceput in China!!!!

  • This sound is very impressing. I use to develop big engines at MAN

  • So why doesn´it sound like neither an Alco or an EMD or a Sulzer?.... Could it be because it isn't one of those but an 16V280ZJA made by chinese rail manufactor CSR Ziyang Locomotives Work!! Bingo!!

  • The design of the 16V280ZJA is by Dalian Locos but the sound of individual locos may differ subject to different conditions.

  • It must be an ALCo. A very clean ALCo. Or some GE I've never ever heard in my life

  • sounds good :-D

  • Turbochargers that are bigger than many turboshafts and the like are a GOOD THING

  • Hi,

    The sound is totally different from the 16/20C645s we have in Denmark! Except the generator sound is that same.

  • 太有力量了

  • that engine has an emd V16 645-E3 prime mover!

  • EMD? Of course not... ;-)

  • wat rpm did it get to

  • I'd say 900-1000, but I'm no expert so correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Someone from the mainland said 1000rpm for the DL-16V280ZJA used here.

  • Oh yes... Great turbocharger! (A Swiss invention by Aofred Büchli in 1924 for the SBB -- which since pursued electrification).

  • As I am opposed for the use of diesels in railway operation (as I am indeed an ardent advocate for railway electrification) I must say however, that these would make great marine diesels for medium size boats!

  • If anyone shold know, who had indeed manufactured these diesels?

  • Not enough smoke for an ALCo like it sounds. It seems to be a GE FDL-16 or 12

  • For the DF8B model, half of them are manufactured by Southern Stock and the others by Ziyang, all with Dalian Locos DL-16V280ZJA engines.

  • I here these have a germain engine in them. apart from that i think 20 of thes are on their way to New Zealand hop so cant wait such a beast

  • New Chinese locos landing on NZ?

  • Hope not.

  • Sounds a cross between a 24 and a 50 :P

  • Does it ever stop revving? Was it a destruction test!! What a monster.

  • It appears so, but the increments by which the RPM is increased is minute.

  • super sound. Is this a Mitsubishi Diesel ???

  • No, a purely Chinese product... :-)

  • Probably based upon a sulzer unit.

  • You mean the engine? That's manufactured by Dalian Locos regardless of the manufacturer of the loco as a whole unit.

  • Love DF's noisyness... ^^

  • Indeed, Chinese diesels rule!

  • Comment removed

  • Almost as god sound as a 18 cyl deltic napier

  • What a powerful beast!

  • These things are 3860KW or, 5250 metric horse power!!

  • Four Stoke 16 cyl twin turbo'd Sulzer? Similar to our 6000 HP GE's that CSX uses judging by the sound. On the load box? Quite a beast, five stars.

  • even no not much is happening this is one of the best videos on youtube so far that i have come across sound is exclent many thanks 4 posting 10 stars 4 u lol 5 max is what i can do

  • POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it sounds very similar to a british class 56,only nuttier,love i!

  • Is it a V16?

  • lol i never heard a train sound like that. sounds like a v8 =P

  • That sounds nice. What engine is it in those?

  • Definitely not the Dalian Locos 16V280ZJA as in DF4DKs and DF11s as the engine sound is very apparently different. Moreover the 16V280ZJA doesn't have such a loud and clear turbocharger note. Anyway, could the DF8B be used on those short distance stop-and-go commuter services? It seems that this model gives a faster acceleration.

  • De DF8B is almost exclusively used in front of heavy freight trains. And - in my opinion - one of the best lines to see (And hear!) these in action today is the dieselized Jingpeng Pass, where they now pull 4000 tons coaltrains uphill, with only two DF8B locomotives in front, and no helpers! Tractive effort is 480 kN, power output is 3680 kW, or 5000 horsepower... :-)

    I'm a big fan of these locomotives... :-)

  • Actually the DF11 has the same diesel engine, contrary to what you guessed... But the gearing is much different of course, for a top speed of 170 km/h for the DF11. Thus, tractive effort of the DF11 is "only" 216 kN... A DF11 sounds similar too, but they only sound like this at higher speeds...

  • One detail is different though: All DF11's are Qishuyan products, but only part of the DF8B's are built at Qishuyan... This engine, in the "5000" number series, is a Ziyang built engine. (DF8B's in the "0000" number series are Qishuyan products...)

  • So such a sound is impossible in Hong Kong as the Lo Wu Line where intercity trains go through is a pure stop-and-go commuter line. Anyway, type 0 and type 5000 just differ in the manufacturer? Such locos are only used in those passenger services requiring frequent climbing of steep slopes just like those in the highlands in Scotland, UK.

  • DF8B is for freight service

  • Sometimes for passenger services through steep slopes also.

  • YEAH That sounds Ice Cold brutal man! What a beauty! MORE MORE AND MORE i can't get enough!

  • In only one week I'm going to China again for 40 days and then I can enjoy these "babies" (*) again... :-D

    (*) (Eight = Ba in Chinese... ;-) )

  • Beast!! More DF8 music please!

  • Nice! More like this please!

  • Great Video !!! Awesome Sound !!! 5*

  • That was AWESOME !!!
