This old 12-cylinder Sulzer, built in Romania in 1968 and almost identical to the CFR 60/62 classes, promised much on idle; producing a fine 6LDA rasping splutter. Unfortunately the silencing started to take effect as engine rpm increased and pretty soon any exhaust sound was masked by track noise (and wheelflats on the leading coach)! Shame, as they're quite an attractive bit of heritage kit.
