Why do you think the engine is being tormented? What's happened here is the governor has reverted to idle after it has reacted to the engine starting to fire. D7076 had a habit of doing this because the governor isn't the strongest.
The engine had been preheating for a couple of hours before this start up and the coolant was well over 60 degrees.
This is my mates video I was in the engine room whilst this was going on.

Can´t understand the constant start up problems of these marvelous engines. The Point is: You HAVE to preheat them up to 40 degrees celsius and they´ll fire up ABSOLUTELY safe everytime (except it did not run for months maybe) ! I never saw a german class 216 ("Lollo" included), 217, 218 or similar models cranking up that bad within the last 25 years. And why do they open side doors when the motor is still cold ? Sad to see this lovely machine tormented.

i think i've had this type a year ago on my hornby track but the motor axel broke off.

These Engines are started with reverse compression,as starter motor that big would
require it's own portable generator.The pressure is built up in the Pistons which makes the Pistons move through their cycle.After this is done the Fuel Govenor squirts diesel into the mix and with a bit of luck it should fire up.Diesel engines
large and small thrive on heat,they are always far more difficult to fire up when cold.
Smaller engines like Fords d 1.6 or d 1.8 have glow plugs,these do not.

nope

Don't these start on compressed air (similar to ship engines?)

Plus they don't have glow-plugs like diesel cars, which makes compression difficult in cold weather. Think of the size of the engine that a couple of measly batteries has to crank.

There not always but these are old engines. Some locomotive engines like very large V16's and V12's were not realy designed to even go cold! When in service, they rarely went cold and so starting them was not much problem. Newer locomotives normaly start easily whatever the temperature.
