EMD ENGINE ROOM, V12 POWER.

Engine room and cab vid of an EMD JT42CWR, U.K Class 66. It was hauling a ballast train and dropping ballast hence the slow speed.
Right, any more stupid shallow comments from any of the train spotter/ foamer/ general sado's fraternity will be removed, so save yaself the time and dont bother. No body forced you too watch it. If you dont like, look at summat else, simples!!

To me it seems strange that there is North American power in UK. When I left England in 1970 that would have been unheard of. You can say what you like about the Yank stuff but it is bullet-proof.

In Australia where I live now they are running 16/710 EMDs in the brand new SD70Ace's that BHP bought for the iron ore roads in the Pilbara hauling 35,000 ton ore trains. The locos fully imported from N.America, they really look the part.

All that tech stuff you've got on here is very interesting.

@gm16v149 I agree, back in my BR blue bashing days it seemed like science fiction but by the time the class 59 arrived, nothing had before offered such great reliability and it worked straight out the box but this was already tried and proven US technology that had been around years before in the SD40-2. The SD70ace is certainly a very impressive beast, an absolute powerhouse of an engine, one of my fave locomotives of all time.

Good vid... I thought the 66's were V16 though not V12??

[formidable38]

@macthewesty Soz if i already answered you! The 59's use the V16 EMD 645 (645 cubic inch per pot) The 66 uses the V12 710. (710 cubic inch per pot).

Brilliant. I just love the sound of a GM or EMD loco. Class.

1951/52 was when EMD started running in Australia IIRC with the GM Class and Victorian Railways B class, EMD 16-567B Roots-blower, only EE engine we had back then was the ones you use in the BR 08 Class which we renamed to F Class in 1951, in 92/93 we started running 16-710G3A in the South Aust AN Class.

I think it was the 80's BHP had G.E Dash 8 before the SD70's.
