    Magic ! I remember about 1978 being in an oil depot right next to the Newcastle to Carlisle line when 45 iron ore tipplers pulled by 2 class 37s stopped at the signals right next to me . The signal cleared and the driver gave it some welly, the noise and air vibration was almost frightening. Absolutely awesome. 37s rule

      Thank you Stevie! I shake naturally as you can see at the start but I wedged myself between the bars ( yes they had 5 metal bars across each door window due to the potential of people sticking their heads out and flailing about! No joke ) and having driven a 37 for my 40th understood when we’d be off. iPhone 5 was what it was filmed on but I’ve you’ve got a good subject then who cares!! Lovely comments, really positive, so appreciated. All the best Paul

      The 43s and their Mk3 coaches are an elegant design that has aged extremely well, the 37s have a menacing look and sound but are equally cool, they are both British icons of the railways.

      He was driving!!!! Actually to clarify I wasn’t quite sure as there was that much smoke!! But quick story. Those trains on the Cumbrian coast were filled in the front coach by bashers. However for some reason they decided to sit this one out and well it’s about one fifth my RUclips channel!!! Paul

      If you ask me- why was it either or, why did they not keep investing in the engineering too? Now we have little products to boast of . The class 37 it still working after 60years so products were decent at one time. All gone now

    Probably a novice question so please excuse my ignorance but why when setting off do they 'pulse' the throttle, see. Various videos with them doing this,

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  5 лет назад

      Ryan Foreman I think I get what you’re saying. I drove one for my 40th and actually you have no control over that pulse. The engine just does it naturally. They aren’t feathering the throttle. It still moves forward but the engine does work on that cycle.

      it to stop wheelslip. A 37 deals with wheelslip by cutting fuel until the wheelslip stops then it reapplies power but if it slips again it will go through the cycle again. If the driver takes no action it will just carry on doing it
