Nick_Burman Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 JR Kyushu must be in a real hurry...the loco barely arrived and is already being tested... The ex-London cab(?) is an extra... It looks like the ideal conveyance to chase trains and look at the sights around Kyushu... :grin Cheers NB Link to comment
westfalen Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Around 1:40 where it pulls into the station it looks like there are number/name plates attached but covered with duct tape or something. Link to comment
bronzeonion Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I like the engine noise!! Link to comment
Ochanomizu Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Hello bronzeonion, Yes, especially like the engine noise at 1:00. Is it the sound of turbo or superchargers? Edited July 14, 2013 by Ochanomizu Link to comment
miyakoji Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Ochanomizu, I think that's a turbocharger you hear. Superchargers are mechanically driven and turn at speeds similar to the engine, but turbochargers are driven by exhaust and spin very fast (wikipedia says some reach 250,000 rpm). Link to comment
