Its a 65 year old diesel from 1958, All diesel from that era smoke. All old diesels smoke like heck 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Also the fact that its a diesel engine with the pistons horisontally might make it burn more motor oil making it smoke a bit more
@NorwegianNationalist I did wonder if they were 2 stroke I remember the 101 and the other series ones in the 90s I kind of miss em the smells the sounds o was in chester a lot when I was a boy so we got 56 20s 47s 37s even the odd 50 came by on a special the hst' were brilliant screaming away now its like she'll of what it used to be
@@steventhornton4716 If i remember correctly the class 101 did use a engine designed for a bus, It had 2 6 cylinder AEC or Leyland 4 stroke diesel engines in each carriage. Plus the fact that the engines were horizontally mounted would mean they would burn alot more oil in the cylinders creating more smoke as a side effect. Also i think since the engine and train was newly refurbished it might not have been run in properly yet which might be a cause of the exccesive smoke, From looking at this video they all seem to smoke ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7b9SMkSyZSA.html
Who would have thought that 60 years later, the dinosaur RMT union is still insisting on "ding, ding", "buzz buzz" to dispatch trains, and expecting "inflation-busting" pay-rises to do so! Welcome to 2022. Check/sell tickets!
Remember these units in the valley lines by the late 80 s they were knackered when departing stations remember the blue exhaust and the fumes but were fun to travel on with the rattles and the engine on full power traveling on the steeply graded valley routes
Imagine expecting a driver to get out of a cab and rummage around under and around pulling, pressing and adjusting things under the carriage. Poorly designed.
Tbh there's far too much a driver needs to do to restart. No one should be crawling around under a train twisting knobs and pushing buttons other than in the cab. Poor design.
That was only when full preparation needs to be done, ie on depot at start of the day's turns or if left stabled for several hours during the day in a platform or yard. Otherwise, control system air pressure is sufficient (75PSI) for the cab controls to work.
I find these videos sincerely very enjoyable. Now that I'm "a bit older" (read, "certified 'geriatric'"), I note that it seems that the railroad has absolutely nobody working for them under age 50 lol
Was this video recorded here in Kenya during the colonial period? 😂 some places i see are similar Like dagoretti station Nairobi railway station ,Thogoto and Kikuyu? maybe or maybe not . i really appreciate that piece of engineering

Hi Class 118, Would you allow me to repost this on Bilibili, a mainstream Chinese Video Website? This video are helpful for those who are interested on driving a Class 101 on TSW2 as we does not have that much experience with DMU and Manual Gear Box. I will produce subtitle and translation, marking clearly the video come from yours. Thanks!
I hope Mike wasn't so preoccupied with watching his controls that he didn't notice the distant signal at 11:50 was at caution 🤔 Blimey, that crossing keeper 12:00 pulled his signal off at the very last minute - and the train didn't seem to be slowing down noticeably either 🤨
The driver was really expected to crawl about on the ballast under hot, oily engines and fiddle about with this, that and the other in the most inaccessible possible locations that would require a trained gymnast to get at? I suspect ASLEF would have soon prompted a rethink of that
It's there any reason why a rail company do not pay food allowance to field workers? Do their customers request on contracts to be fair to others? Do their CEO makes bonus out of this policies?! 😳 MN state
Detonators are small explosive devices that are placed on the track as a warning device to protect the train if it becomes stuck on the main line track for whatever reason.
