Remember, I had blogged about my face-to-face (well, side-to-face) experience with the WDP4 (Dippy 4) at Thane station. Here's a YouTube video that has the same effect. Since this is a cold start, there is the customary bell to be sounded to shoo away workers / animals that may be below or around the loco.
Then, a couple of clicks of some switches, the beast comes alive, and starts almost like a plane about to take off. You will have to be patient since this does not happen until 1 min 49 seconds into the video.
There's another vid here, but there's a lot of background noise. Also, another startup at Panvel is here.
