Dave Peacock starts 40145 up in cold conditions, in readiness for a loco shunt.

Both 40145 and 50015 were moved to Buckley Wells, where 40145 was inspected and cleared for running on the East Lancs Ambassador railtour, involving two class 40s along the length of the ELR, followed by a non-stop run to Edinburgh with 40145.

A video showing the loco move will be available shortly...

  • I am curious about one thing I seem to see with most English engines: what is the bell ring that sounds during cranking?

  • @Rainhill1829 - That would be the fire bell.

  • @D335Media To warn of possibility of fire, or to those nearby that the engine is about to fire?

  • @Rainhill1829 - The fire bell rings like a fire bell in a building would. If there's a fire in the engine room, the bell would ring. The bell usually tinkles a few times when the engine starts because of how everything is wired up, but when the engine is constantly being turned to get it fired up, the bell is still being rung as part of the starting circuit.

  • @florianska6 I've not been casigated before for my comments but this is DEFINATELY NOT an example of nonesence engineering.

    IT'S 60S TECHNOLOGY YOU BURKE, no computer engineering to be seen, every diesel starts cold at some point in it's life..

    Cold conditions - I won't make you laugh, because anything below 0 isn't cold at all is it? Trust me, it was cold, not that I was there (clearly).

    What a knob.

  • Awesome engine Start!. blackening the sky with smoke and diesel vapor is the best way to stick it to these hybrid driving eco Nazi's :D

  • Why does it throw flames when it idles down?

  • This thing is real cold. Takes awhile to warm up too.

  • saw the flame at 2:35? :D
