Kanaal van dieselmupke

Great job guys!

Still some hard labour to do, but I hope to see her running in 1,5 weeks, at the gala!

I will be there!

Could hear it already, the dutch/kiwi accent.

At least you can do all these experiments there without people living next to you sending police on you because of smoke or smell, must be the reason you moved from the Netherlands to NZ.

Kiwi's are a lot more freeminded.

The white smoke can also be unburnt fuel, when the turbo is blown the engine gets heavily overfed, leading to the black smoke in first instance, and white smoke when most of the cylinders don't fire at all anymore.

Can tell it because I once saw a diesel passing by heavily emitting white smoke, a...

In the Netherlands there is a non articulated line between the two lanes closest to the slipway, so changing lanes on these spots is prohibited.

People should be aware when they can't see the driver of a van or lorry he will not see them too, so don't overtake them or drive next to them, after co...

Cool!

By far the best audio footage you will find!, the sound is like a couple of Belgian classes (51, in my avatar and 59) they used Baldwin engines of the same type, 608A 8 in line build in license by Cockerill Liege in Belgium.

They outlasted the sharks by more than 25 years, both classes endi...

@Tremolux59 These loco's have opposed piston (2 stroke) engines, wich is a high power to weight ratio type engine (3300hp per unit) but not so efficient with fuel.

Together with a lower standard of maintenance (injector timing, poor turbo, or not correct notching in multiple) can cause units to s...

Toll, diese beiden Loks sind aus der kleinen Subserien die damals in Belgien gefahren sind.

Sie fuhren von Aachen West nach Montzen, Genk, Luttich und Antwerpen und bis in die 80er Jahren auch auf den Eiserne Rhein (Ruhrgebiet-Roermond(nl)-Weert(nl)-Neerpelt(b)-Antwerpen)

Die 215-023 bis 215-229 ...

I think these men work in the most worse conditions anywhere in the world, the ice roads in Alaska are paved highways compared to this, here are no safety inspectors and maintenance crews to take care of the "roads".

Also the Kamaz and Ural trucks I consider are the thoughest off the road.

I woul...

Some of the most massive rolling stock found on 760mm gauge I think.

The similarity in form and sound with a German 216 is quite big.

Want this in my garden pond, much better than LGB!!!

Wanneer je het beeld stopzet op 0:59 zie je duidelijk dat er nog maar 1 schijf aan die kant op de stang zit, leuk geprobeerd toch.

I'm afraid that not Heljan or Hattons is responsible for the state this loco arrived in, but it seems that it is damaged in shipment, or it is opened by customs and the dropped it.

My experience with Hattons is in general that the stuff they send is OK when it leaves them and they package it well...

It will need his horn a lot, that thing is not a diesel but a silent assassin!

The old T46 wasn't that loud, but you could hear it was a diesel. (sure, for the underground use you don't want a noisy locomotive, but this T46.2 makes almost no sound at slow speed and this can create a risk of its o...

The locomotive being prepared and the one with the smokebox door open are 12R's.

15AR's have bigger wheels indeed, with little round splashers at the top of the running plates, and no sandboxes on them.

The locomotive being jacked up without front bogie is a 14R, the outside frame around the fire...

The bogie problem is clearly audible.

A wheelflat had developed due to a seized traction motor bearing, wich in itself was caused by a traction motor cooler bellow that had come off, and by flapping around had blown dust into the motor and by lack of cooling air caused it to overheat.

The most sick trainvid I ever saw!!!!

Until the sand was gone there was not really much wheel slip, but the power of the working 5 engines just wasn't enough to maintain uphill speed.

A great word can be said about the build quality of these 50-60 years olds, being in notch 8 at low speed for at ...

This loco has a single stack, so most likely it has a EMD 567B or C V8 engine, wich depending on type would produce between 600 and 850hp.

Here in Europe we had loco's of the EMD SW line in Luxemburg build under license with a EMD 8-567C engine producing 800hp, and lower cabs and axle load, only ...

Zero injuries is written on the last loco, but all the fans having ear injuries from taking huge overdoses of this fantastic GM sound????

The GM class was the pattern for all the European bulldog noses,but sadly they stopped running in Belgium 8 years ago now, so I can't hear them live anymore no...

There is not much left elswhere in the world that can beat the sound of these South Australian GM lash ups!!!!, just a fantastic acoustic orgasm for my ears, you can't play this one loud enough!

Toch een redelijk flinke wedge tornado zo te zien, die zijn wel redelijk zeldzaam hier.

Rijden we opeens allemaal dikke amerikaanse SUV's en pickup trucks hier?

Guy with the shiny head on the left at 4:03, that's me.

Nice vid.

It is a SAR class 24, a few are still used in South Africa for the George to Knysna tourist trains.

On this loco also the smokebox door is "Americanised" as the original one has a smooth, flat appearance with just a centre spindle but no knurls on the edge, also the cab window sun shade is remove...

This is the perfect acoustic orgasm, it even beats the Tailem grainy chase, another Aussie video with these old beauty's hard at work.

The sound remembers me the chase of iron ore trains with classes 52 and 53 in Belgium, for witch the class B was the pattern.

Heerlijk, dat lang aanzwellen van het geluid, herinnert me weer aan mijn eigen filmsessies.

Ze lopen idd op notch 6, je hoort aan het piepen zo nu en dan dat er wat wielslip is, dat inderdaad ook in Honvolez of Cierreux met de glaszandtreinen regelmatig te horen was.

Als 2 55ers tegen de slip aa...
