Deltic Engine Sound
If Carlsberg did model train sound cards! Real Deltic engine sounds! Just because I am getting Deltic withdrawal symptoms! This model Deltic was at the Crewe Heritage Centre , so I thought I would add the sound track from a previous Deltic video (55013) to see if that helps satisfy my yearning to see a Deltic running again!

Mechanical systems working videos on Instagram: "The Napier Deltic engine (1947) is a powerful, triangular-shaped opposed-piston, two-stroke diesel engine with three crankshafts. Each cylinder has two pistons moving toward each other — no cylinder heads or valves. Air is compressed between pistons, fuel ignites, and the explosion pushes pistons apart. It delivers high power in a compact size, perfect for naval boats and trains."

The Napier Deltic engine is a British opposed-piston valveless, supercharged uniflow scavenged, two-stroke Diesel engine used in marine and locomotive applications, designed and produced by D. Napier & Son. Unusually, the cylinders were disposed in a three bank triangle, with a crankshaft at each corner of the triangle. #diesel #engineering #engines #dieselpowered #dieselpower #cartitok
