A lot of the37's that was stabled at Cardiff came from the Eastern region from Stratford, l was at ripple lane as a driver we had 31's 37's and 47's The old 37's was slow and strong
Opening shots are at Rhymney Station I use this line several time a week. The line is going to go back to twin track within the next couple of years with increased services from Rhymney to Cardiff. They have allreay placed a loop at Tir-phil Station and completely rebuild and extended Tir-Phil

Lived next to the Rymney line for 60 years, grew ip with theese sounds, it gets in your blood.great memories of better days and machines.
Great video & these are what I call real trains! Those engines are the best hands down!
Excellent footage - felt like a kid again, and the scenery is wonderful. Thanks.
About as good as it gets 👍 thoroughly enjoyed the lot👏🏻
Looked after these 37's for many years when I worked for BR / EWS and DB
It's such a shame that some of these engines are scrapped now. I remember being behind them in the Highlands of Scotland in the late 80's.

I worked on the re-signalling project on this line 2013-15. A lot of changes since then!
Why didn't you film the station names so we know where you are. Apart from that, great footage and sounds 😀
Heaven
Great to class 37s on Private Railways 🛤 👏 Wonderful
When was this?
