37403 Isle Of Mull Struggling At Lancaster 19th April 2018

Not The Footage I Was Hoping To Record It’s Never Good Seeing A Brilliant Loco Having Problems. It Sounded Very Unusual On The Outward To Preston And Was Stuck At LAncaster For A While On The Return. Eventually it got moving again before running into trouble again around hest bank before crawling into carnforth. All Good Now Tho As 403 Was Back Out A Few Days Later
LONG LIVE THE 37s

[@tharkthax3960]

Amazing engines, beutiful design. Every single vehicle needs attention occasionally, but its a tough old boot when despite its injuries it still does the job!

[@ScaniaVabis580]

Being 59 years old the design hasn't done bad

[@ScaniaVabis580]

Class 37 fan 👍 that and the 43 hst!

[@phillipjones3439]

And now we dont even make locos in the UK. RIP English Electric.

[@allan5919]

Very well filmed despite the strong sunlight. A nice overview of the events. Cheers - Allan.

[@NedsTrains]

I was stuck on that train for 2 hours at carnforth right in front of the station but we couldn’t move into the station. It was probably the funniest thing that has ever happened to me on a train. It was boiling hot in the coaches because there was no AC and there was no free water or anything. Thanks northern 👏🏻.

She's at Bo'ness now. They have just put in a new power unit. Should keep her going for a while now.

[@Meengineer100]

Brilliant capture! Shame that 403 failed, not a very good sign for the future of the 37s there. Hopefully things will get better.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

My hometown! I remember trains passing our house on Vicarage Lane on their way from Castle Station to Morecambe and Heysham in the 1040/50s...............didn't have a camera " back then"

[@stevekelly5166]

Back in the 1040's I'm not sure if they had invented coal or water. I think the planet existed but not the wheel. What's a camera?

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I know my fingers are a little too old for this keyboard; sorry. Mike 80 in July.

[@alexsteel5959]

I haven’t seen many passenger trains being propelled, and I’ve worked for the S&T nearly 30 years. Fantastic video mate. 👍❤️

[@davebarclay4429]

Push-pull operation was in use between Glasgow and Edinburgh for many years using Class 47s. There was a nasty accident at Polmont in 1984 when a train with the engine propelling derailed after hitting a cow and 13 people died.

[@alexsteel5959]

I remember now. That accident put an end to passenger propelled trains. Thanks! 👍

[@beeble2003]

@@alexsteel5959 No it didn't. The Edinburgh-Glasgow services were push/pull class 47s until at least the early 1990s. Class 86/87/90+DVT combinations were in use on the WCML until 2006 and the London-Norwich line until this year, and class 91+DVT is still on use on the ECML.

[@beeble2003]

Oh, and class 73s operated push/pull on the Gatwick Express Services until 2005.

[@Martindyna]

Dave Barclay That’s what I didn’t like about the APT - having a relatively light leading vehicle. Although not much different to the multiple units that have become the norm nowadays.

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]

Great job on this train video. Joe

[@2stepsaway820]

Isle of Mull is still going strong. Saw her in Doncaster station a few days ago

[@KARTAVIDEO2TRAINS]

The train looks dashing, authoritative

[@fasteddy546]

Deltics used to bring 40 or 50 wagons into Shildon Shops for repair when I was a kid in 70,s, wonderful noise, which I never forget

[@beeble2003]

Are you sure about that? Deltics were express passenger locomotives; seems very unlikely that they'd use one for hauling wagons for repair.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Absolute rubbish

[@Martindyna]

Do you mean Class 37 ? They look like Deltics but are entirely different.

[@stevelomas4119]

Wanker comment.

[@stephensmith3033]

I don’t know anything about trains but that one was awesome,I love the old ones.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Looks like a problem with the compressor. I think steam coming from the nose end ventilation grilles isn't a good sign ...

[@bjoe385]

Nah, just the kettle.

[@johnthomas5966]

Yes. Isolate the compressor, make sure its not on fire and carry on using the other on. With only 4 carriages still plenty of air

[@SMX815]

They are sublime & great video squire 👍👏

[@Morgans_Trains]

I rode behind her on the North Yorkshire moors railway not so long ago Lovely loco

[@tobortine]

My word a class 37 still running. I so wish I'd kept my Ian Allan books, saw them 40 years ago and assumed they were all dead until YT recommended I watch this video (how did it know :-))

[@iangemmell3543]

37’s still run up here now and again pulling ballast trains on the west highland line and Oban branch

[@tobortine]

Pure coincidence but I happened to be in Norwich station today, not my local station, and there in the sidings were two class 37s parked up. I was stunned, I haven't seen one for 40 years, I watch a YT video about them and there they are in the flesh, weird.

[@nottudyug]

lol.....Yep.They've even outlived the Deltics, The 40s. The 50s etc ....in fact they've nearly outlived the lot AND they're still on mainline service !!! INCREDIBLE machines.

[@florencegomer7937]

Shame that most of the 37's that were loaned to france to work on building the tgv were then scrapped, many after several years in storage.

[@Martindyna]

Guy Dutton There’re very easy on the track and so have good route availability. Incidental that there’re so charismatic.

[@DaveInBridport]

What a great design. Love the 37 look.

[@beeble2003]

Especially in that livery. Possibly the best looking combination ever seen on Britain's railways.

[@RailwayProductions-nd3tx]

Wow! 88001 as well! Shame it's struggling. Heat may have been to blame

[@OlanKenny]

It was only a little over 20 that day. Last summer we got over 30 a lot so if they're failing in this heat that's not a good sign

[@benconway9010]

What was wrong with it I saw smoke coming out of rear nose of the 37??? Isn't that where the traction blowers are??

[@bjoe385]

I think there’s a compressor and some air reservoir tanks in there too.

[@irelandbloke]

Nice shots 👍

[@Flaaaaanders]

Shes in limp mode just like my Duramax right now.

[@Martindyna]

Obviously this engine was hot 3:19 but I wonder if they would start easier when cold if the engine speed governor was overridden for start up so that the engine wasn’t flooded with so much Diesel while turning her over trying to start.

[@Guard_Amos]

I think this was the day I saw it crawling into the loop at Carnforth as I were coming back from Barrow

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

My home town! I was born in the house next to the line down to Green Ayre in 1943! Didn't have a camera until 1955; if only!

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

You certainly made up for lost time😃

[@mccoy79productions66]

great right around the curve

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Thanks for the memories. When I lived in Lancaster, in the 1950/60s, the line ran down to Green Ayre on the right at 6.28 and to the left down to Glasson Dock and the Quay Side

Does anyone know if the Lady Diana Spencer locomotive is still in operation and what class it was?

[@stephenleary1239]

I think it was 47712..I know it caught fire in the 90's and was at Doncaster for a while.

[@ZathGB]

Where do they go now for repair etc. ? Doncaster, Crewe, Derby, have we got any such capacity left ?

[@danielcodrington9137]

jason long no it’s mark 2 former passenger loco hauled stock with a driving van trailer cab with controls converted from a standard coach at other end so the driver can drive either end without the loco having to change ends in order to change direction of travel.

[@yhkhoo2269]

Haha

[@Nils_Ki]

They look really great. But they seem to be more difficult to keep alife than the NOHAB MY, their even older Scandinavian/American contemporaries. Those EMD engines seem to be easier to maintain.

Awesome video mate. Especially when it cranks over fires and blows out about o clag. Nice. Check out my leaf blowers video standing start. It's quite a catch ...

[@martinjh999]

I'm surprised that a lot more 37's haven't died like this considering they are 30,40 years old now... Especially on a timetabled weekly service... Nice vid too :) Glad to see her going eventually...

[@martinjh999]

Just looked at wikipiedia and the firsat BR order for 37/0's was in 1959.... So that's 59 years old this year....

[@Tom-Lahaye]

First in service was dec 1960, last nov 1965, so thats between 53 and 58 years ago now, a respectable age for any loco still in mainline service.

[@martinjh999]

I'd like to know just how much mileage the ones in use today have done over the years....

[@Georgeasaurus2001]

Nope as slippery says below it was driven down to Preston with the handbrake on

[@martinbalmforth2665]

It looks and sounds like a fire supression bottle wemt off in one of the snouts. Nothing serious.

[@fft2020]

Dont get me wrong I love diesels... but why the hell you still have non eletrified lines in the UK in 2020 ?

[@shidzngigglez]

Some places are too costly I guess, also something to do with the preservation of beauty and wildlife maybe.

[@beeble2003]

Um... that is an electrified line. You can see the cables. Electrification is very expensive and it's just not worth it for smaller lines that might only have a train every couple of hours.

[@benconway9010]

Cos we don't want shitty electric trains... So fuck off

[@patrickporter6536]

Note the overhead catenary

[@THE-REVENGER]

Should have been taken off service there and then after the problem started. Looked like over heating which could of caused a fire

[@christinebaker8754]

‘Which could HAVE caused’ - could OF’ is not English grammar.

[@ChrisJones-tp5ek]

@@christinebaker8754 Well said!!!!

No one says what the problem was. They probably just isolated the ancillary machine in the nose that was giving trouble.

[@alistairscott137]

Any loco can fail , it all depends on how well DRS maintain them which I have heard is not as well as they use to , as they do not want to spend the money on them as the management has changed at DRS.
