Awesome video, love seeing the "first person view" of the startup procedure. The class 37 is such a cool loco, refreshingly different to the EMD powered Di3's and Di4's we have here in Norway.
All of “ours” have pre-heaters fitted. It’s cured the five minutes of white smoke that comes off a cold engine. The black clag on start up is harder to eliminate though!
@@hairyairey Deltic engines were very specific and only installed in the small number of Class 55 and Class 23 diesel locomotives. They had a very distinctive sound. Very different from the standard Diesel engine thud of the Cl37. Which led to enthusiasts give them the nickname “Tractors” and the Cl40 “generators” The English Electric Class 37 and Class 40 locomotives were built with English Electric diesel engines. Either the English Electric 12 CSVT Diesel engine in the Cl37 or the 16 SVT in the Cl40. Some Cl37 were rebuilt with engines from Mirrlees or Rushton. As testbeds for new loco types. These were renumbered in the Cl 37/9 series in TOPS.
That one button started all those engines, I'm impressed.
😂👍
Superb! Rampant Tractorism! Do love hearing that EE 12-cyl start up and the turbos whistling. Such a charismatic sound!
More please!
Will never get bored of that sound!

March again!
Runs again next week

😂😂👍
Thanks for the reminder almost forgot haha
That's how you start a 37 then thanks for this video I love how the 37s sound could listen to a 37 all day long and everything else lol cheers Paul
You're welcome 😃👍
Nothing like the sound of a class 37 ‘Tractor’
Awesome footage 👍
Nice! I'm just curious, why hasn't anybody come up with an upgrade to clean the engine /smoke?
Hmm retrofit an EMS to a Deltic engine. Not impossible but someone would need to design it first.
@@hairyairey it’s not a Deltic engine in the cl37.

@@andrewhead6267 What is it then? Even Wikipedia says it's a Deltic and we all know that's never wrong!

Superb! How long before you leave do you start the engines?
Fantastic!
Hey, how are you doing? Haven't seen you about for a few years!!
Hope you are well 👍
@@Wallsrail All is well thanks just dropped off the radar since most of the test trains round here became 73 hauled! Might reappear at some point!
Excellent mate 👌
Thought you’d like that 👍
It sucks when you go to the bog and sound like a Class 37 starting up
Hahahaha! Underrated comment that!
