Great shots. The speed of those beauties coming through the stations! In fact, everything captured was to be treasured. Let's just hope that British Railways folk/powers that be, will keep these classics alive for many years to come. Thank you for sharing.
I'm here because I'm playing Train Simulator and curious if 37 really sounded as beefy in life as they have been modeled in the sim. The sound of this engine is so guttural. We have nothing that sounds like this in the states, past or present. Or anywhere for that matter. 37 sounds like a beast. It deserved a horn that would have scared children and animals but horns in the UK "toot" apparently. Cool video. The scene at 5:28 was awesome. Perfectly manicured roadbed. Thanks for giving me something to watch.
Way back in the mid 1970s when I was a kid my first OO gauge model was a blue cl37, Hornby I think and by todays standards a bit unrealistic but I loved it and still have it. Definitely one of my favourite classes of loco.
4:16 This looks like Great Yarmouth just before the station (which is on the left). That'll be Vauxhall Holiday camp in the background, over the road from the A47 Acle Straight,
I used to live next to the now gone Tyne Dock to Consett branch in County Durham, the 37 double headed iron ore trains on the 1 in 35 stretch sounded awesome, both of them at full throttle, I can still hear them...
Extraterrestrial sound on an EMU ! 37 at top speed. Turbo sound on 37s. . . All I need now is Triple headed 37s hauling Iron ore trains up Stormey bank and the long DEMUs thrashing though Clapham Junction on the way to Waterloo to make me a very happy old fart.
We really miss Steam Locomotives. They are real beauty with rugged look & Horn. Railways can make Steam Locos with CNG or LPG boiler instead of Coal boiler for Tourist Trains The only difference, We can not see Black Smoke coming from chimney.
If you want a giggle, search Class 37 Police Train....sadly BR destroyed one of these beauties when they tested a nuclear flask, to show the public it was safe to transport nuclear waste by train.
The engine expression beginning @ 4.34 reminds me of a familiar sound from d British 20 class of d late 50's. My dad, being a train engineer himself really appreciated having those locomotives as his work partner.
Had a few holidays on broads cruisers, moored at I think st olaves, the throb of that train winding up out of the station across the marshes at night, gives ya goosebumps, pure heaven.
Used to watch 37's going full pelt with empty haa's up the steep incline to barrow colliery with pistons hammering , much lowder and slower than when on passenger trains , i kid you not the ground used to shake, the network rail test train was closest to the sound but not eorking hard enough .
I worked with them for years, In the 80's when the coal train came past our depot 2 class 37's and 44 coal wagons it was like an earth quake, the windows and doors would shudder and your cup would start dancing along the table and the floor would be vibrating. No need to look you know what train that was.
Not unburnt fuel. White smoke = unburnt fuel, whereas black = engine running rich. Black smoke (rich) usually only happens when you nail the throttle and the turbo is lagging behind.
They was a engine made for getting max power into a small space the problems was with 3 turbos they used to over inject the engine and give a flame out the top ? Well this was known to catch fields of corn alite witch br did not like to pay compensation to farmers who claimed this egr valves were not invented yet so they slowly fazed the engine out but the had a lot of power
I remember as a little boy, waiting for a local train at Knott Mill station in Manchester and I saw one of these class 37s approaching and was terrified of them,, the noise, the front end, all of it, and remember getting into a carriage just before it got to the station and being so happy because I was safe :)
The Br class 37 is one of my favorite diesel train it just sounds soooo good.
People say these sound like tractors, but I hear a Rolls Royce Merlin instead.
Trains are only my favorite.
Early ones were Submarine engines
Cos they got 3 superchargers on them. 18 cylinders, in 3 rows, 6 opposing pistons, the Deltic engine.
That's how they got their nickname. Tractors.
@@gedhoughton9523 muy buen dato! Gracias
1:54 that MK1 track joints - love em
Spot on... there’s something missing nowadays
I love the "deserted station at night" shots.
One sometimes wonders how much fuel these class 37's guzzle up. 4:32 what a snarling beastly sound!
Average 3 mpg
How much is that compared to a truck?

Your country is so beautiful. The locos fit right in with the scenery. They just seem natural.
trains start traffic at train crossings tho, lots of it. most of the traffic is because of train crossings
@@otisbedford5720 well, no not most traffic is because of level crossings, but I get your point
The steamies just...do that even more.
@@otisbedford5720Traffic is caused by cars. Get rid of them, no traffic.
That's me in the blue top waving 4:40
I see u
The Class 221 is noob
@@hamiltongullonjr.5479 ?
The growl of all that power is so cool.
Great vid. Early memories back in the 80s, hauling the coal, north east England
The sound on those last two clips was just awesome......Loved it...a 37 lovers dream...Great stuff ...Steve.

Agreed, if Godzilla sounded like Daffy Duck.
It's nice that the drivers acknowledge you with a little 'toot' 3.42 and 5.50 and the green 37 at 3.20 is running (sounds) sweet
It might be the same chap! It looks like the same train in the first three clips
How do you know that?

LothianOwl yes class 37 with class 47 bogies
@@09weenic
In fact the earlier Triang-Hornby version had same bogies as cl 31 (Commonwealth as on late mk1 carriages, AFAIK)
Excellent selection of Class 37 clips, well captured thanks for sharing. Cheers Pete
Great video love hearing 37s open up .
WOW !! Listen to that Dragon ROAR at 4:30. Fantastic scenes many thanks.
Evil pulling offs. Love that type of smoke
Like an angry bull at works
Incredible sound! Almost like a WW2 bomber. Goose bumbs, really! 👍
A little after WWII, but does remind me of the Avro Shackleton!
Yes the 185 litre English electric V12 sounds awesome
Something else we don’t build anymore, what happened?
Global warming happened, thats one reason hahaha!
Progress, the 66,68 and 70 are far better practically, they are just beaten in the looks and sound department by the older classes.
4:16

Lewis72 it is indeed
Don’t think it can get any better than this! The best locomotive ever for me anyways!!
Anyway(s)????
Two powerful engines for a 4 car train, what a waste of money.
what do you expect?, these days turn tables is getting more goner than ever so they need 2 locos on each end for a easy turn around
Bloody HELLFIRE.
You have some fantastic Class 37 clips in this video. Was very good fun to watch. :)

The shear IMENSE, POWER!!! these locomotives have is AWESOME!!! & I do enjoy it when they are engaging full power from a stop. 😳😁👍
Sheer power. Love it.
The class 37 is Quite simply in a class of it own..What a Growler!...
Fantastic beasts - Class 37 Class!

Great sounding trains. I subscribed.Joe's train world videos
LISTEN TO THOSE TURBOS SINGING!!!!
Is the train that has a short passenger carrying or only the locomotive sir?
The BR large logo blue is such a great livery, the 37 looks fantastic
4.32. Lovely! pure clag and noise! Wonderful, made my day!

Poetry in motion.
First 3 same train ?. Would be even better if coaches through wired to power rear also , like test train.
Great video,what camera do you have?
Why do these engines require one at the front and one at the back for what looks like small loads? 🤔
So theres no need to run the engine round
3.41 . How come there was a pentagraph? Was the engineers testing how much current is flowing through the overhead lines?
yes it was testing the overheads
37s doing what the do best. Cor!!!!!
Great collection of shot mate.
Love the contrast at the start of the video between the EMU opening up and then the 37 coming through - the timing was perfect
Lovely Tractor sound of The Class 37s ❤
Once at speed they are not at full power, full power is when they are growling really loud.....
That last one sounds like my old Corvette on tickover.........
Que buene idea poner un bagon electrico de traccion las class 37s son las mas bonitas
I like at 1:50 it seems to come out of nowhere and you are very close to the edge there. Great video. Thanks 👍 👍 👍 👍
4:42 How did the turbo/s spool so quick on a 37?
Now this is something!
Only thing better than 1 class 37 is a pair of them!!!
Nigel Terry how about 3? Or 4? Or 35?
The engine expression beginning @ 4.34 reminds me of a familiar sound from d British 20 class of d late 50's. My dad, being a train engineer himself really appreciated having those locomotives as his work partner.
They are real brutes of engines, still working perfectly today! Keeping 🇬🇧 moving, much better than electric.
Where is the railway station shown at about the 1:00 mark??
Not exactly environmentally friendly!
What a lovely sound, much better than the electric whine.
Especially in the early green livery..
These locomotives definitely remind me of the alcos that’s for sure!
I think I read that some of the Alcos were made by English-Electric, same guys who made these Class 37's
over engineered to death hence the reliability of the EE12CSVT still be running in another sixty years.
1:55
1:52
What is the reason for two locomotives for 3-4 cars?
50 pointless seconds at the start of the vid?
The grunt of these locos. Nothing else sounds even close to them.
What are the yellow network rail coaches for?
What a fantastic video. It's the Ferrari of diesels for me. Never get bored watching or listening .
Awesome
Thanks For Visiting Raleigh, My home town. :D
Rayleigh, Essex?
From 2:24
@4:14 That's coming out of G. Yarmouth I think? Stayed in that holiday park once.

Terrible polluting technology
I wish someone had recorded the double headers pulling the iron ore trains up the steep slopes to Consett in County Durham, pure heaven...
Yes indeed
Excellent video
God you can hear the truth talk
Parabéns pelo belo video
2' 50" and look at that unburnt fuel. Clean up your act Railway!
Not unburnt fuel. White smoke = unburnt fuel, whereas black = engine running rich. Black smoke (rich) usually only happens when you nail the throttle and the turbo is lagging behind.
@@labarone8910 theres tons of old British diesels that all blow white smoke, definitely some sort of issues, probably just worn out engines
Love the sound of the engines
buffer pufer!
4:30 why class 37s earned the tractor nickname
Sounds a lot like an Alco S1.
Tractors make lovely sounds
Very nice indeed.
Great video!
Not a single on of the videos in this compilation show a class 37 at full power, shame on you clickbaiter
I don’t think the guy was clickbaiting. I think he just mistook full speed for full power.
Still such great locos. I don't think any other diesel locomotives had such character.
Yes, Deltics did! that's the only real 'old type' diesel that rivals the 37.
2:39 I saw that train at Dent
why they put another class 37 in the back? and it not powered.
removes the need to run around the train which nowadays isn't possible at most termini
Those 37s have a weird power unit. Always sounds like it's not doing any work, whether at slow speed or high speed. Strange.
That beginning video sums up the following perfectly:
Virgin electric train - Chad Diesel Deltic
jeez
Not sure why RUclips recommended me this video, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. Is the 'toot' some trains make an acknowledgement of the cameraman?
They was a engine made for getting max power into a small space the problems was with 3 turbos they used to over inject the engine and give a flame out the top ? Well this was known to catch fields of corn alite witch br did not like to pay compensation to farmers who claimed this egr valves were not invented yet so they slowly fazed the engine out but the had a lot of power
I remember as a little boy, waiting for a local train at Knott Mill station in Manchester and I saw one of these class 37s approaching and was terrified of them,, the noise, the front end, all of it, and remember getting into a carriage just before it got to the station and being so happy because I was safe :)
Well...all locos *_are_* hard on the ears, after all.
Very nice :)
When those beasts power up they make a tremendous noise. Amazing. Good footage
why use 'Mentor' on a test train,on track with no OHLE?
3.13. SOUNDS LIKE THE DRIVER GAVE YOU A TREAT WITH THE REAR ENGINE . LOVELY SMOKE STACKS .
Great Video
If it’s not steam....
There is NOTHING like a Class 37!
What class train is that at the beginning?? With the spaceship propulsion?
