  • The Western Class loco's always seem to produce lots of engine smoke, can you tell my why, beautifull all the same.

  • @merman153 The turbo charger that compresses air and pumps it into the cylinders, along with the fuel, is driven (rotated) by the exhaust gases from the engine itself. When the engine takes power from idling the turbo blower is 'lagging' behind (turning slowly) and the fuel / air mixture is more in favour of fuel until the turbo charger speeds up and pumps the air in faster. Once the turbo charger is rotating faster the fuel / air mixture is corrected again and the exhaust emissions clear.
