37097’s first start. The people.

[@rogerfroud300]

That started so quickly, you must have done a good job. You see so many that struggle to start, first on one cylinder and eventually all of them when it's warmed up a bit and is cranking really quickly. Well done indeed, this should last for a very long time in its preserved environment.

[@melodymonger]

That's the smoothest 37 start up I've seen on KZbin 😃. Congratulations on the excellent work 😊.

[@cidertom5140]

I’ve seen better

[@philipkudrna5643]

Was the video cut? Started within 5 seconds! In other videos it takes over 5 minutes until the things run more or less stable, usually not before having engulfed their whole surroundings in black smoke! Good Job!

I worked car trains from Cowley BL with that engine in 1979 after she was transferred to Stratford . Lovely work tremendous paint job too !! In 1970s livery . 😃😃

[@stephensmith4480]

English Electric, Built to Last. Well done to all the Team, a fantastic effort 👍👍

[@karlwest3309]

SHE LIVES the glorious sound of a 37/0 starting up lovely amount of starting thrash

[@roughchippy]

As a 56yr old ex trainspotter but still enthusiast, that was fabulous to see a younger generation bringing back to life a loco what was already a few years old and more when i myself was thrilled to see one of these.... fabulous....

[@MervynPartin]

I'm always pleased to see 37s as they are one of my favourite British locos. Looks to be in lovely condition, inside and out. Well done. Nicely filmed, too.

[@bobingram6912]

Congrats to all for bringing another 37 back to life👍 For a small group you've obviously got the necessary skills and dedication, that has to be the best first start up, so smooth and quiet and those twin exhausts are just beautiful, well worth the donor engine for the rebuild. Good luck to you all.

[@steviesteve750]

That must be the smoothest and cleanest cold start of any 37 ever!

[@danquinnell3502]

Excellent video on a fantastic piece of equipment brought back to glory by a very talented and dedicated team!!!

Great Work Guys, Its just so nice you kept the Split Headcode Boxes, This is how I like them to remember them by, In the Late 70's-eary 80's Stratford Depot in London did heavy maintenance on many type of BR Locos & started to put Paint the boxes with these Black with White Dots instead of the older plain Head-code boxes.

[@SimonRML2456]

The Tasmanian Government Railways Z class were built by English Electric's Rocklea works in Queensland and internally are almost identical!

Supreme effort & dedication guys & gals. Bravo.

[@011dave]

Well done beautiful restoration job

[@alistairshaw3206]

Brilliant to see another 37 running again. I do have a soft spot for the split head code 37's. I've worked on 37's myself, so I know how much work goes into the restoration, and of course, the money that has to be raised to buy parts. Well done, I will need to visit your Railway once she is hauling trains again.

[@rayhorsnell4895]

Congratulations too you all!!

[@alanlmsca]
