Starting and accelerating very heavy train with one single locomotive - loud gearbox sound 

V43 and M41 are also sounding very good.

These are certainly very impressive old locomotives, still working hard after all this time.

And not to mention their lovely buzzing, charming sound!

Not only DC locos, but EMUs as well. This is the song of the EMU class 460 of the Czech Railways (nicknamed Tornado thanks to the engines/gearboxes sound): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tvg36T3u5S8.html or an old EMU class 451 of the Czech Railways (nicknamed Frog's Mouth): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--UPOiQD7Hzc.html

DC traction motors allways loud as hell. it cold be heared allmost 3 miles away

I can confidently say, at LEAST 10kph. Probably more.

80-90 km/h maybe? I think line speed tops out around 100 for a lot of the network, but I'm fairly confident this class of loco can do at least 130.

well the design is probably from the steam era and if it works well there no need to change it 😎

I wonder if they're cheaper to make. There's less material used but more work needed.

@@biglightball, it is easier to produce spoked wheels. Also, these wheels has replaceble tires - the only wheel's part, that intensively wears out by running and breaking. No need to recycle the whole wheel, when it would be weared to it's maximum permitted level.

@@sergeyblinov4957 ok, if so, then why spoked wheels aren't common? Is it a matter of their strength?

@@biglightball, spoked wheels are easier to produce, but it costs higher for maintenance and replace its tires, if we try to calculate costs for technologically advanced West countries with high man labor costs. It is cheaper to replace weared "solid" wheel with new, than to have maintenance facility and people to replace tires. It is feature of modern global economy. Also, new Western AC 3-phase motor traction technologies reduces wheel wearing and extending its lifetime So, "solid" wheels in modern technology locomotives have acceptable lifetime. These spoked wheels with replaceable tires were perfect for pre-1990 era locomotives, like in this video, with manual traction control, frequent wheel slips and blocks.

😂samee

Harmonics?

On trains these aren't even broken,that's how train gears usually sound on the older variations.

Wtf bro

@@RealistInIdealists817 lol Not literally, it's just an expression that means it's a really cool and enjoyable video.

Bulgarian class 44 or 45 Or Czech class 242

@@tomin9366 Okay, now i am know. Thanks

Because both of them have 2nd class traction drive. As we know, traction drive systems have classes, and they can be "nose-suspended" - i.e. non-suspended (1st class), semi-suspended (2nd class) and full-suspended (3rd class). - In 3rd class, the cardan shaft is put between wheelset axle and the gear - this shaft is a hollow tube around the axle. Traction motor is fixed on the bogie and great cog wheel is fixed on hollow tube around the axle. It's full-suspended system. - In 2nd class, the cardan shaft is put between traction motor shaft and the gear - it is installed inner of traction motor tubular shaft. Traction motor fixed on the bogie and great cog wheel is fixed directly on the wheelset axle. It's semi-suspended system, because the gear box (and its great cog wheel) is unsprung mass - and the rest of mechanical parts is a sprung mass. The distance between the centers of two gears (a great cog wheel and a pinion) is a "center distance" - in different classes of traction drive, this distance can be continious (e.g. in 1st class) or intermittent. In this way, cogs on both gears losing their contact patch (when locomotive moving on inertia), and that's the reason - why Skoda locomotives and sovies EMU trains (ER2, ED4M, etc.) have similar gearbox sounds. I hope, I'm not mistaken. Это потому что у них одинаковая конструкция тягового привода. Так, опорно-рамный привод локомотива бывает "2-го класса" (ЭР/ЭД, ЧС-ы, ЭП1) и "3-го класса" (ТЭП-ы, ЭП20). Если вкратце: - У привода 2 класса - полый вал и муфта расположены на ТЭД, а редуктор опирается на ось колёсной пары напрямую - он не обрессоренный: т.о. привод 2 класса считается частично обрессоренным. - У привода 3 класса - полый вал и муфта расположены на оси колёсной пары, а тяговый редуктор опирается на ось колёсной пары через полый вал - он обрессоренный: т.о. привод 3 класса считается полностью обрессоренным. А у тягового редуктора есть понятие "централь": это расстояние между ведущей шестернёй (на ТЭД) и ведомым зубчатым колесом (на колёсной паре). У тяговых приводов разных конструкций, это расстояние бывает постоянным (жёсткая централь) и непостоянным - как в нашем случае. Из-за того что привод 2 класса обрессорен не полностью, а частично - то между необрессоренным зубчатым колесом на оси К.П. и всеми остальными, обрессоренными частями привода - во время движения локомотива возникает болтанка (или резонанс), в результате - зацепление между зубьями передачи то ухудшается - то улучшается, в тяге или на выбеге. Из-за этого мы и слышим похожий звук у ЧС и ЭР/ЭД. Надеюсь - не намолол чушь.

They are quiet. You can clearly hear the brushes from inside through cooling fans.

No modern loco have asynchronous AC motors with chopper control hence forth why the traction motors are smaller

Very cool thanks. I got it pretty loud on my attached sound system. Reminds me of the sound the original 1950's subway trains in Toronto, Canada made but yours is much louder.

Epic gearbox growl on old EMUs.

WOAH that sounds soooo much like the Dutch Mat'64 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tz6FCjDhbKw.html

It behind the brake shoes

@@evangiles4403 It should be, as common sense dictates ...... but, I swear, it looks like it's on the outside!

What do you mean drive wheel on a 4 axle loco all the wheels carry the tractive effort otherwise it would stall
