FOund these by accident - got to You tube and search for 55022 50049
Watch a few and listen to the two best Diesel locos working hard.
The front one is noisier at speed and the one behind at lower speeds
Hearing 2 supercharged D18s and a turbointercooled 64v V16 working hard is something else.

Then go to a tractor pull. Anything from Allison V12's to 4 or more blown big-blocks, yes on one tractor! And yes, there are turbo Diesels too.

BTW both of those locos when in BR service had less efficient silencing, the front ones were at least twice as loud!
Allison aero engines - for wimps, you need Merlins and Griffons :y
