The unique sound of a class 37 takes me back to my primary schools when i heard the rumble and would run to the fence just to catch a glimpse of the snarling beast. I cant even run to the fridge these days.
The Class 37 at the beginning pulls away so effortlessly. I had two of those in a train set - one green and one blue. The blue one had a much stronger motor and sounded like it meant business whereas the green one was gentler. Memories that get brought up are fascinating :)
Do you know what my grandfather used to drive the class 37 throughout the valleys on coal trains when I hear this at superb quality my mind is drawn back to the little 8 year old I us d to be running to get to the bridge in Cwmbach to get a view and feel f these amazing machines
As a confirmed steam man, I never had any interest in 'tin boxes'. This video just changed my opinion. The noises these beasts produce is nothing short of epic.
Some great footage there. It would be improved if you could add captions showing the location of each section of the video and maybe also details of the workings seen. Thanks for posting. You have a like and a new sub.
The sounds are just,to an American,like Johnny Poppers(John Deere tractors),and Caterpillar bulldozers! The EMD is also because the Long Island Railroad had become an all EMD line! It had been an Alco,operation!
Wish we had some of these cool trains here in Kirkby Liverpool the only time we had a Diesel train here in Kirkby station is when the train derailed they used the diesel power to pull it back on the rails.
Have you got videos of the tripple headed 37s thrashing up stormey bank on heavy ore trains , Port Talbot to Llanwern steelworks. Also the two 4-coach thumpers thrashing through Clapham Junction on the morning rush hours.
This was an early drive system for Diesels. Many early Diesel shunters where built on steam locomotive frames. Either modified designs and new builds, or one off 'upgrades' where the boiler and steam gear is removed. this allows a drive train to move one axle, which then drives all the other wheels.
I love this videography , especially in the fog! At the start of the video-what would be the top speed of the train with the two shunting locomotives up front?
How do you know where and when to see these trains? I see people waiting on railway bridges near where I work to photograph trains. I missed Tornado by about 10 minutes once - saw it only in the distance... 🙄 I hear a few class 37s going by too - but have no idea how to time them??
There's sites like www.realtimetrains.co.uk that's good for finding passenger services and there's the working timetables found on www.networkrail.co.uk which provide better info but there's alot of it to sort through as it's divided into area's and separate lists for freight and passenger.
Sounds like you poms have a few 2-stroke emd’s up there in the later stuff, interesting locos, l wonder why you generally stuck with the old hook & draw couplings instead of automatic couplers? And do you still have vacuum brakes or does your newer equipment have Wabco air? Anyway that was great viewing cheers from oz.
A shame they're too heavily silenced really. I think hook & draw was kept for backwards compatibility (in the 60s & 70's we had something like 1/4 Million wagons - all hook copupling ) and then kind of stuck. Air brakes have been standard since at least the 70s in the UK though as ever there were a lot of old wagons with vacuum that required locos to be dual braked so they could operate either.
I got to ask a dumb question. Here in the US. We run inter city trains much the same way you do in UK. My question is. The first train with one Deltic pulling & one pushing in the rear. Are these two locomotives MU together or two drivers ? Thank you.
In fact the twin locos in question are Class 37s by English Electric- who also built the Deltic . Constructed in the early 1960s they are still giving sterling service albeit in much reduced numbers. They have been upgraded over the years and divided into sub-classes for various applications. These will undoubtedly have Jumper Cables to facilitate MU. Also saves on manpower- and cost.
I'm sure I saw the first loco helping backing a steam train going through Bescot Station earlier this year, does it do the regular helping out stuff or is it preserved?
Sorry if my comment is daft.. Could somebody explain how having two diesels (as per the the two class 37’s in the first clip) are controlled? Do they have just the one driver and both units respond to his inputs, or does the second loco have a separate driver that mimics the inputs of the lead driver? I’d be very grateful for any information. Thank you.
@@danielsellers8707 thanks for your response Dan. I thought that must be the case, I could hear the second engine running but with no visible driver! Cheers.
You can find them all on Wikipedia with article titles "British Rail Class ". 37, 47, 68 are some of the ones in this video. Look for the first two digits in the 5-digit number on the locomotive. (unless it's D### which is an old numbering system).
We moved to NZ at the end of the 80s in my late teens, so I did not keep up with what happened. I was obsessed with trains as a MK kid. So they privatized the lot, but now the Network Rail owns the lines and infrastructure? They hocked it off, but had to buy a lot of it back, or retake control and public ownership of the lines is what appears to have happened as far as I can tell. The public bears the NR costs and the losses, while private operators pocket any profits. Correct? The whole lot used to belong to us all. Tracks, stations, yards, and rolling stock were ours, not Maggie's or those cretins that came after her. We had the best train set ever, even though it needed more investment and better management etc. Did the public get a pay out when they sold it all off? We did here in NZ when the Tories hocked of some of our power company stuff to their cronies for cheap, even though we voted against it.
I have never been into trains but fed up with the muck and drivel on social media I stumbled across these diesels. What a great antidote!

Class 37 aka Tractor Class Sound :)
what was their top speed on an express passenger say?
@@SuperDad58458 about 100 mph
@@SuperDad58458 100mph was flat out if you were lucky. 90mph was the operating speed on express
Wonderful. I am stunned at how quickly some of these diesel locos accelerate!
I appreciate your film style in that you film the entire train. More lifelike and enjoyable.
This is such a satisfyingly relaxing sound I could sleep too, thanks for posting!
Great video; brought back fond memories of my working in a signal box but had many journeys in the cab with drivers / shunters.
Beautiful video. Beautiful machines.
great vid there, love the sound of the class 37's pulling away!. Cheers. David.
Should hear two of them in multi starting up on a cold winters morning
Beautiful Class 37 clag along with 47s and to the sights and sounds of other Locomotives accompanying them or passing through,Great video ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely fabulous
Wow headphones in volume up proper eargasms 😍😍😍
Oh bring back the good old days & these engines are the best 🇬🇧👏👍

Thrash, Clag & Tones - a wonderful name for a firm of solicitors.
I always thought the best name for a legal firm was Dewey, Cheatum, & Howe.
Going to work on a night shift in London I was delighted when a 37 stopped at Kelvedon and roared off to Liverpool St. Made a change from the EMU.
27:28, sweet ride and sound! My fav!
It sounds nice but it's one ugly looking loco. Give me the older ones any day, especially a class 37
I like the 68s, notice the Chiltern ones have yellow front ends but not the Trans Pennine Express ones.
Very good footage lovely
The sound that says, "Relax, you're on your way home!"
Some fantastic scenes there mate many thanks.

I love trash. the sound of trashes are amaze. the toots are welcome sound too. and crag is very good
Thanks for a great vid.
Never knew Teddybears sounded like that 👍
excellent comment
FANTASTICA
That second one towing the train, It sounded like a V8 My gosh it sounded Naughty ❤
Unusual locos at the 1:00 mark diesel locos but have a system similar to steam locos.
This was an early drive system for Diesels. Many early Diesel shunters where built on steam locomotive frames. Either modified designs and new builds, or one off 'upgrades' where the boiler and steam gear is removed. this allows a drive train to move one axle, which then drives all the other wheels.
Twelve cylinders, supercharged and intercooled - who could possibly mistake the tones of an English Electric 12CSVT.
Wish i was a traindriver...has been a dream from childhood...
I love this videography , especially in the fog! At the start of the video-what would be the top speed of the train with the two shunting locomotives up front?
Class 14s - Good locos without a job to do, so retired very early - they'll run about 40mph
Love them class 70s
Someone's got to!
They sound better than they look; I like the Class 68 & 88 better.
Best sounding locos are class 20 37 40 and 45s
Best looking class 88 70 66
Nothing like the thrash of a class 37
thats a great video I must say !!
Like, very good video edition. Done, you have a new supporter here. Thanks
ok guys great video for this Aussie...but can you tell me what is transported in those HANSON allumi wagons ..
Cement if I’m correct
11.15 was that a class 86 electric being towed by the class37?..beautiful looking engine that goes for both.
Both built by English Electric around the same time but no common parts at all!
Dobra składanka kolejowa
15:20 what was the reason behind a 70 dragging a 47?
Maybe Thunderbird duties? It looked like the 47 wasn't doing much, so probably a West Coast Trains charter broke down somewhere.
It was actually working the charter the 47 was tucked inside to provide heat etc as well as act as a barrier between the 70 and the coaches

The German DB in England? Has he pulled that freight train all the way through the pipe from France?
They run freight services over here in certain parts of the country.
Did the designer of the Class 70 draw it with the end if his white stick?
Would that be chalk on a blackboard...
All British Rail locomotives had charm and character up until the 58 then the wheels began to fall off...
Favorite British diesels: class 20, class 31, class 37, class 47, class 50, class 60, class 66 & class 70
