Great stuff, thanks! That's some serious torque when you look at how quickly a class 37 can pick up speed. πͺπ
-
Loved every bit of that, such a wonderful sound!ππ
-
Oh you can give more of this all day long! They are quite simply the best engine sounds ever π¬π§π
-
Dont you just love the sound of these beasts at full throttle. They've got that roar and whistle that you don't get we the new diesels.
-
I used to live next to a railway as a boy the house used to rumble when class 37s used to go by its brought back so many memories just hearing that sound again brilliant π
-
I donβt know what it is about these 37s, ugly though thatβs not the right word, but beautiful at the same time and the sound is amazing. Would love to see one up close again in the metal.
-

-

When I was a boy growing up in Coventry in the 1960s my parents use to go for a drink at the Royal Oak pub in Brandon and those 37s use to go tear-assing by doing what seemed to me to be a 1000 miles per hour with 10 or more carriages towing behind, I cant remember if they were the blue or maroon ones? I even remember steam trains pulling into Coventry station and scaring the bejesus out of me. But they were amazing days for sure! Great video sir!
-

Drove many class 37s when I was a fireman out of eastfield traction depot springburn Glasgow yo the west highland line queens street to Oban fantastic and the ghost train to Oban 1974 my uncle Jim Matthew was a mainline driver I spent many shifts with him

These used to double head the iron ore trains up the gradients to Consett in County Durham, I lived about a mile or so from a 1 in 35 stretch near Annfield Plain, I can still hear them labouring up on full bore, sweet sound, nearly as good as the 9F's that preceded them...
-
Wow Tom this is a cracking collection of filming your dad did.
-
Thanks to share with us !
-
Never got to hear a 37 accelerate like some of these passenger services, more often or not they were getting going from carnforth loop with a fair old load behind them. Probably when the 37 sounded the best
-
The perfect video doesnβt exi... Spectacular video, definitely annoyed a few neighbours by playing this one! π
-
Great shot of 428 at Bescot. That was 03.08.01. I photted that round the corner at Walsall station. Had a massive load on.
-
8.28....as the Growler gives way to the Bird Song....that and the view from the Drone......you wonβt get better than that, imho!
-
there are many engines with similar power units to the class 37's but non of them can match the sound! Why is that???
-
First shot looks like Newport (NPT) sometime in the 90βs. Remember going there often to film the class 37βs and 125βs breezing through. No where near the same level of freight traffic today. We export little and what does come through is generally freight haulers pulling liquified gas or containers.
