    A video i teased on the community page and a video i have been wanting to make, dedicated to the Class 37 the workhorse of the railway. 37s such as 37/0s, 37/1s, 37/2s, 37/4s, 37/7s, 37/8s & 97s are all included in this video! From the Greater Anglia Short Set to test trains, stadler rescues & light engine workings, i've compiled clips featuring the 37 giving it the beans! Filmed from various locations from Anglia and other places.

    The Class 37 is honestly like the Merlin Spitfire of the train world!

    When I was about 6 I was taken to New St station, I think to see someone off. The train about to leave from the platform I was on was being pulled by what was then a new diesel locomotive. Of course it was a class 37 - THE diesel loco... I was close to it when it suddenly opened it's throttle and roared. I jumped out of my skin, I'd never heard anything like it, the sound went right through me, it was such a thrill. What a sound, same sort of sensation as the best rock band ever... still can't get enough of it even now. Cheers for the upload, amazing sounds...
