Electric locomotives have no soul. I end up with old lamp locomotives. The most obvious lamps are long-haul vehicles with old two-stroke diesel engines, announcing the space for many kilometers with their bass exhaust.

Let them be old and troubled as everything Soviet. In the case of TE10, it is clear that the most problematic part was this engine. First, a bunch of shafts, all the auxiliary equipment was driven by shafts from the engine, always striving to break away and kill the helper or tear his limbs off. And secondly, the drive centrifugal compressor. In general, such a thing was previously used in aviation, only it is unclear what the fuck it decided to use on a two-stroke, in which the air flow is not set by a piston, but entirely depends on the volume that the supercharger pumps. Americans on two-strokes use ruts superchargers all their lives, and it is obvious that this is the only option that normally works stably, since the air supply here strictly depends on the speed. In the scoop, they decided to fuck off, as a result, they got a crooked system that does not blow enough at low loads and cokes the entire engine, and on large ones it is prone to pomp (and then the engine just pours a solarium, since there is no control of this shit there) and blows so that the smoke from the exhaust streams sucks up tens of meters.

In the two-stroke M62 and TEP60, there was no such shit, since there was a normal ruts supercharger. Although in general, the M62 is hardly better than the TE10, also a flimsy shit, which has a bunch of its minuses - oak jaw carts, a cramped noisy cabin and malfunctions, unlike the TE10 where they are usually typical, then here the breakdowns are much more fucking and sometimes you can not immediately determine where everything broke. TEP60 was better than both, but it was passenger, not for freight trains.
That's a fucking mint. Never a railwayman, just wondered what was the rubbish we had riding in the rain and woke me up one summer when the windows were open, although the railway passed at least a kilometer from the house.
