It must be the Hereford connection. I remember a 56 struggling to leave Hereford on a loaded steel train. In fact, I will never forget it. My dad was driving, I rode with him all the way to Shrewsbury.. The brakes wouldn't release to start with. Low air. Once on the move,,, boy did he make her Scream !!! Cab windows and engine room doors open,, till the rain came passing stretton. Damn I miss him . You dont know what you've got,, until it's gone.. Never a more true word spoken. Liked and Subbed. 😎👍
Once on the move they were fine. I've driven 37's on a heavier load, and they take some coaxing, but always get there in the end. Great old tanks. Superb video.
That was only half of HOBC system 1. I doubt a pair of tractors would haul a whole HOBC! 66s struggle with it sometimes. Horrible system to work on that one, had a spell of breaking its couplings in multiple places on the train around the Cardiff area.

Simply stunning. Thanks for sharing your magnificent film.

Thanks Michael, they are quite clearly my favourite loco. These two didn’t sound the healthiest!
It's good to look back on these old videos and seeing the 37s doing some real work.
37057 was one of the best all time 37s
Love seeing videos like this! Those pair of tractors were working really hard to get their load moving.
It's a good time to go through some of our old tracks and enjoy the memories. Thanks for sharing................Mike, too far away from the mainline
Thanks for watching mike, I totally agree!
Great video and lovely sound too!
Nice video that, driven properly and the dvr watching his amps to prevent any silliness.. 👍👍
Thanks for watching, yeah I’d imagine the driver wanted to get them home so he could get home! I think this was very late at night.
Nice one! 308 is at the DFR now, at Lydney awaiting restoration!
Thanks for watching, I did read that it was due to go to the SVR for work!
The Dvr watching his ammeter and driving it properly and not being a hooligan. Top marks for the dvr.. 👍👍
Totally agreed especially with them sounding rather rough!
Super stuff 👍
Thanks for watching, Tom
Great footage. 👍
Thanks for watching plenty of more to come!
Very good video!!
057 sounded sweet, 308 seemed to be struggling a bit. No problem once on the move. EE music at it's best. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Yes 308 was very rough here, there’s a website page dedicated just for this working!
Only 2yrs late replying 😂@@MrThrash37
Cannot beat choking of clagg being pumped out of a tractor on a freezing cold day lol 🤣😅😄
Nothing better is there 🤣🤣
I do love a class 37 🖖🖖👍👍🇦🇺
Both 37's did well considering 308 was a bit rough and with all that weight.Nice to hear 308 being restored. Thanks.
Thanks for watching David, it was a fantastic paring. Tom
Just imagine how good the network would be if the 66s were never introduced! Would be great!
lots of failures though hhahaha!

I think you’re almost definitely right on all counts there! What a hellfire move it was!
Oh no
What?😁
@@MrThrash37 the trains were struggling to move
They're not struggling at all.
The sky isn’t blue
