  • Up there as a lot of peoples favourite locos (certainly mine!) are the mighty class 37's.
    What could be better than 15 mins of nothing other than Class 37's if you're a fan of these amazing locos!
    See a mix of light engine moves, double-headed, unit drags, freight and other workings all together here in one video.
    Hope you enjoy it - Long live these beasts!

    Whenever a modern train breaks down (even for a faulty door!) Class 37 comes to the rescue.

    That whole shape of the 37s , 40s the 45s and 44s were awesome. The “thrash “ is amazing .
    Your video is top notch . Brought back lots of memories. Thanks .

    Very evocative!!! I bought my house next to the Cumbrian coast railway in 2005 and became fascinated by the roar of the trains…..well the 37’s!
    We were spoiled!
    What a brilliant video. Well done

      I think the 92 would beat the 68 all day long but nothing beats the growl of a 37.

      @@cidertom5140 yes there bloody well is such a thing as a class 92. They pull the Caledonian sleeper train along with the class 73's. 92043 was on the sleeper the last time I was on it & 92014 was on other end. For you to say there's no such thing as a 92 shows a lack of knowledge

    My dad was the oldest driver at Polmadie, Glasgow to ever qualify at 43 years old after leaving the Air Force. This was his first train to drive. After that he worked with BNF and direct rail services out of Sellafield.

    It is apt that Class 37s were built at the EE Vulcan Foundry, as they have truly "Lived Long & Prospered". 60 years old & still growling.
    Definitely my favourite class of vintage traction, with the class 20 being a very close 2nd.

      @@stephendavies6949 Most UK railfans seem to prefer the English Electric growl to the Sulzer splutter... In USA it's been EMD 2 strokes ever since steam finished! Scandinavian "Class 37" is NOHAB / EMD built in 1950s-60s.

      @danielsellers8707 Yeah, the 2-strokes have ruled the roost since the introduction of the class 59s & then the ubiquitous 66s. These days, the lazy growl of the 37 is a welcome change to all the frantic-ness of modern diesels.
