I’ve started many cold Diesel locomotives. Letting them struggle to start is really tough on the engine. The governor goes right to full fuel which is why the one or two cylinders that fire have such a severe knock. It’s possible to break a piston or bend a connecting rod that way. In the remaining cylinders not firing, the fuel that is injected but not burned cools the air charge making it difficult to get up to ignition temperature. This unburned fuel also washes the oil film off cylinder walls causing excess wear on the cylinder and piston. I’ve found it to be more effective to hold the layshaft in the no fuel position and crank the engine over for 15-20 seconds before introducing fuel. This gives a chance to build some heat in the cylinders. Often the engine will start much sooner this way, with less wear.

As an apprentice back in the '70's we got to play around with some really old diesels, huge hand cranked single and twin cylinders. Can't remember their brands, but one at least was a "Lister" The way to start them was to crank the flywheel as fast as possible with the cylinders set to NO compression, just to get momentum and some lube oil flowing. then quickly move the decompression lever to "high" compression to get them firing, and very quickly move the lever to "low" (more like "normal") to continue running. Getting the timing of the compression lever wrong resulted in some hilarious, and on rare occasions painful events. (hold the crank handle incorrectly and risk broken fingers, wrists and dislocated elbows) As you say, the engines shown here would benefit from being spun over without fuel to get the lube oil moving, and some heat into the combustion chamber. I'm surprised they didn't have an effective "pre-heater" for the incoming air as well. Have seen Eastern European operators soak a rag (and even a stripped corn cob) with diesel, remove the air filter, and hold it lit over the air intake. Very effective.

@@nevermindmyname9153 We had similar problems in Sweden with the new French locomotives arrived, they are normally good and reliable locos, but they where not really made up to standard to meet the Nordic winter in the beginning so they had to do a lot of changes to them before they could be put back to service, In northern Sweden there are still quite a lot of old 1970-80s (a few of them are even older) locomotives still running in active duty or serve as active backup, some of them simply because they where still in such good shape that they where bought up by other companies to be used as cargo trains. The old Swedish cargo locos where originally designed to met up to the standard for the old northern iron ore, i am not joking when i say that, that one can certainly even be worse than the Canadian coastline during the winter...

Now I think I learned how the early Starship Enterprise got its distinctive warp engines sound from!

Lighthouse diesel gensets used to be run for 6 hour shifts. Later this was changed to continuous operation with two extra engines as backup. They would just let the engine run until it died. Lots of stress while the engine pounds away getting up to speed. This method pretty well eliminated the daily pounding.

Three crankshafts in a triangular format, two spinning one way and the remaining the other way. An 18 cylinder two stoke diesel with opposed piston design. Each bore had two pistons in it with a crankshaft at either end injector in the middle and inlet and exhaust port at opposing ends of the cylinder and it was supercharged. Quite an advanced engine and unique sound!

For anyone interested in diesel locomotives, and railway diesels in particular, there is a superb book titled, "Dawn of the Diesel Age: The History of the Diesel Locomotive in America" by John F. Kirkland. It is long out of print and, unfortunately, pretty expensive to find a copy now. But interestingly, it is actually a fascinating "can't put it down" sort of read. Kirkland also wrote "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 1: Fairbanks-Morse and Lima-Hamilton", "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 2: American Locomotive Company and Montreal Locomotive Works", and "The Diesel Builders, Vol. 3: Baldwin Locomotive Works". Also, excellent books and hard to find and expensive now. But "Dawn of the Diesel Age" discusses the history of the diesel in a much broader sense.
