She does look good ! I don’t normally like modern paint jobs but this is a smart looking livery.

this beast has got no power issues at all I love 901 as I remember seeing it at crewe works in February 1986 being converted into class 37901 with the mirlees engines had been fitted Nice locomotive bought from preservation and put back on the mainline! Nice video as peak forrest ain't the same without a tractor and a chopper class 20 flying about!!! 🥰

tractor power far better than crappy American made sheds! class 37 are propper old-school locos and look and sound better than ying yang crap sounding caterpillar engines! 🤩😍🥰

They're EMD mate, Cats are used in the 68s - I like them a lot to be fair! But of course, the tractors win 😂

They aren’t cat engines they are gm emd 2 strokes. Think Detroit 6v71 series Then you’ll know what I mean as Detroit were art of gm but are now under Mercedes’ benz hence you get the 60 series.

37905 Doesn’t have a mirlees engine it has a Ruston engine, same with 906. 901 is the only surviving one with a mirlees engine

Whats the point of this? Why couldn't the 66 do this by its self?
@mikeuk413010 ай бұрын
Perhaps it was already tied on and they wanted to see the 37 shunting as heavy a train as possible. It looks like 25 wagons is the max for the siding, as the 66 was fouling the points. Can’t afford to tie up a costly 66 on shunting duties with all those big trains to haul!
