Wow... I listen to these train videos with headphones. Just love the roar of those classic 37's engines. Your compilation is a fantastic mix of these beautiful locos in action. Thank you so much for taking the time to record and editing all of that wonderful footage together. Great work.
I used to be a relief signalman at Dumbarton Box and sometimes covered pilotman duties on the West Highland Line between Craigendoran and Gaerlochead and you would wait down at the West Highland Loop for the bulks coming on its run at to Fort William and at one o'clock in the morning hearing the roar of the double headed 37's echoing around the hills was an amazing and at times frightening sound as the train made its way into the loop you could hear the rails creaking and the throb of the diesels as you stood beside the track and they came slowly closer to you in the darkness.
@Walter Wright it was Walter, one time going up through Glen Douglas it was pitch black the train only had one 37 on and the wheels were slipping, there was flames coming out of the exhaust and I was standing in the cab wondering if we were going to runaway back down to Craigendoran, scary but exciting.
Used to live in Cardiff next to the Cardiff- Valleys line. It was lovely hearing these things at night hauling coal wagons between Tower colliery in Hirwaun and Aberthaw power station. Could tell the difference between the 37s and the 47s just by the noise. 37s were my favourite. What a noise!
John Davies they use to terrify me in the night on that line.... in the 70s growing up as a kid they would pass less than 50ft from my bedroom window in the back of the house, as soon as I could hear one I’d jump out of bed and run to the window and watch them pass in the darkness.... greatest diesel loco ever made...
I just got flashbacks to when I lived near a route like this about 27 years ago! It always stays in my mind that growling sound, it’s just so satisfying you know?
Still hear these thundering through Barton Hill, Bristol! Best sounding loco, aswell as the Deltic and Valenta powered HST's. To think this have ou lived the more modern 47,56 and 57's.
O growl 37 through the day,O growl 37 and be on your way And wake up your surroundings as you power by and keep on growling into the night! O growl O growl O growl !!!
One of the finest sounding engines ever built (in my opinion!), the twin turbo English Electric 12CSVT mk. II. One night I had a set of four locos fitted with the same engines and the sound going up the hills of those 8 Napier turbos screaming out in the night is something I'll never forget
Paxman diesels from the Paxman diesel company in Colchester which is now long flattened into some shitty housing estate to house floods of unwanted people who live here now
That's because you are a complete stranger to these class 37 trains and what they represent! .. Some of us have lived around these trains for over 50yrs and whenever you see one and especially hear one you can go back to your childhood! I am now near on 60 and to see or hear one of these class 37 locos takes me immediately to my childhood when these trains powered by our home which was overlooking the line...As I have said you unfortunately are a stranger to these trains as you don't know them ..Sorry but this is true 😉

Great work.
I did my apprenticeship with Mirrlees Blackstone and changed plenty of those motors, I have a polished piston and rod in my living room

You paint a great picture this must have sounded amazing

I can imagine. Must have been awesome.

The 37s were my favourites when I was a trainspotter from 1979 - 1986. I was mainly on the East Coast line, so plenty to see!

09:57 - 10:40 - the perfect combination of sounds of the railway including nature! Brings back childhood memories!
Most excellent filming and sound 👍🥇👌🎥👏
It’s just a dream to hear that clag in distance and then see might class 37 ! Will always be in heritage for next 50 yrs too
Agreed....the 37 class sounds & looks quite familiar to d 20 class of the late 50's. Fantastic work horses that's worth every dime.
Great sounding engine; reminds me of the Alco diesels here in the US. Awesome video 👍👍
An excellent compilation of the class 37s and a great video to start the New Year.
allan5919 thanks for watching allan hope for much more of this in 2019
Don't know what it is but the 37s they sound awesome they do on my model railway keep up the great videos cheers Paul
Give me more of that Thrash 🙏 Thrash all day long 🇬🇧
The tractors will be missed on the Cumbrian coast.
Well, we have Alco's...... Britain has these....... 😁😁😁😁
The RS 3s ugly sister.
37's,best sounding loco ever.
Absolutely, nothing compares.
Are ye deaf, lad. There are hundreds out there sounding better.
@@steffenrosmus9177 Ha lad, tha knows I'm old school, like the old technology, sounds good, it's basic, it's simple and it's got grunt!!!
@@colinmiller5502 I am old school too. But compared to some Us "diseasels" and German class V 200 those class 37 sound ridiculous 😉
Sorry Steffen, us Brits and Jocks of a certain era don't like Germans, what can I say 😢😢😢
Locomotive
Very nice compilation of 37 action.
Fantastic thrash competition mate
Beautiful!
Is it just me or is the 'West Coast Railways' livery really dull?
Lovely sparks from the pentagraph in the distant for the west coast line
Pantagraph
What freight are they pulling at 6.54? Never seen those wagons before.
They're for the Railhead Treatment Train. Basically cleans the leaves and stuff off rails
Love it! Great video!
4.25 what was the smoke from the trailer?
It's a jet of steam and chemicals to clean the top of the rails. Those are special trains, out in autumn and winter
@@bonkeydollocks1879 no steam, no chemicals. Just high pressure water. Some do have sandite but only in regions that had those trains years ago.
@@simonwass6315 sorry I disagree
O growl 37 through the day,O growl 37 and be on your way And wake up your surroundings as you power by and keep on growling into the night! O growl O growl O growl !!!
What kind of engines are in those things?!
Off the top of my head it's a English Electric 4 stroke V12
One of the finest sounding engines ever built (in my opinion!), the twin turbo English Electric 12CSVT mk. II. One night I had a set of four locos fitted with the same engines and the sound going up the hills of those 8 Napier turbos screaming out in the night is something I'll never forget

@@retiredpainter259 not paxmans no
@@retiredpainter259 wow. the perfect place to spout political bollox.
That 37401 is popular.
09:57 funny horn!
Is this what was called a “ deltic”? Great video great sounds!
No Deltic is a class 55.
Google is your friend!
11.30 onwards....... I've no words :-)
Driver gave you some clag . I love that . How thoughtful of him. 👍
