CLASS 37 37716 DRS POWER THRASH HELLFIRE SLIPPING ON WET RAIL ACTION AT PEAK FOREST NOVEMBER 2021

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Ol' EE still gettin' 'er done! Does this American railfan's heart good to still see these BR classics up and running. True workhorses of the British railroad network.

[@gavin37688]

Ooooh yes chief she curtainly got the job done ;-) got hours and hours of footage of her working hard up here not uploaded yet.... we've got Class 20's EE here at the moment but reckon soon enough a 37 will be back again doing the honours and i'll be camped out up Peak Forest

[@SMX815]

They are the king of the railways & they are the real workhorses 🇬🇧👏👍

[@jamesgarlick2532]

Definitely agree ❤

[@clivedytor2069]

I have just come across these videos of trains and they are absolutely wonderful. I am fed up of the trash on offer in our world…violence,gratuitous sex, “ Celebs’’…this is good honest stuff.

[@markosmith8037]

brilliant video - what a great bridge to record from. The class 37 seems to treat the wagons like a minor inconvenience !

[@CMD_Line]

This is like proper railway workings back in the day and I wasn't there for the back in the day.

[@alanolley7286]

Roaring beast ,that's got some torque to move that load.

[@cliveharman7762]

That 37 is doing well with that load.a lot of modern locos would struggle to move it.

[@beeble2003]

Which ones? A 66 has almost twice the tractive effort; a 70 has even more. Class 68s have a slightly higher tractive effort than a 37. I guess a 67 might struggle but they weren't designed for heavy freight work. Sorry to get in the way of your attempt at a "modern stuff is rubbish" play.

[@thameswanderer]

Magic! Is there a better sound on the railways?

[@gavin37688]

Nope 37's rule ;-)

[@CMD_Line]

No, I agree 👍🏼

[@jameswingrove7421]

For all they can’t pull much compared to the modern stuff, the 37 makes the best noise.

[@petetrundell5454]

Never has been a better sound and never will be.

[@wolfdog1492]

No, definitely not.

[@markmaw8]

Christ what a noise that thing makes ❤️

[@gavin37688]

Indeed probably the only place you can witness a 37 slipping and thrashing constantly nowadays

[@markmaw8]

@@gavin37688 after watching your video I think I'll make a trip myself to see. Is the noise as impressive in person?

[@gavin37688]

@@markmaw8 hello buddy and it’s immense I’ve still got footage to upload of her slipping to a stand and jus constantly thrashing for like 15 minutes but all in good time 🤘🏻🤗 an she’s currently away having bogie attention at Eastleigh chief but if she comes back to Forest I’ll be straight up there 😉 so keep an eye on my channel for her buddy

[@markmaw8]

@@gavin37688 fantastic. I've just recently discovered the beauty of old diesel locos and actually started making an n gauge model railway 😁

[@gavin37688]

@@markmaw8 excellent news I love N Gauge! Can fit so much in unlike OO or especially the popular O Gauge now which I’m still not understanding 🤦🏻‍♂️ but if you ever want out weathering or re numbering jus let me know as I do it for a living have done for over 20 years now 😀

716 looks smart in DRS compass

Lovely stuff Jon 😁

Top stuff. I know by the time I get a day off to get there this will be gone again 🤦🏻‍♂️🙈

[@gavin37688]

Thanks matey an hopefully not shes here long term this time.... only issue is shes not done much tbh since been here always parked up in the shunt siding! Thou we picked a good day to go as we know atleast the staff that day are happy using her and not the ruddy shed thing up there for loading also

[@heyabusa1]

Now if only it was a 40...or two 🙂

[@gavin37688]

40's are hellfire :)

[@lesburton9303]

Good one John not been here for a couple of years

[@gavin37688]

Hey buddy why not come up with me this summer :)

[@watchyMCFCwatchy]

Why can't the driver keep the engine at a constant speed instead of revving it up all the time?

[@eddielee3680]

Sorry i dont follow guidelines.Dont know abt power but te diesel engine sound is a great attraction to me next to cls20 chopper.Nothing beats te class 20 notes.

[@antman09ful1]

Great action.

They would look shit....like carlsberg nasty stuff!! 😂😂

[@patrickporter6536]

Is there a more handsome beast on the railways?

[@beeble2003]

I'd argue that they're slightly more handsome in large logo blue, but I respect your opinion -- it's not crazy. 🤣

[@train4905]

Awsome😊

[@petersaunders2816]

Grossly underpowered locomotive for the job!

[@beeble2003]

"Grossly underpowered" but somehow managed complete the job. 🤔 Great reasoning there.

[@Hrossey]

Peter, you listen to Shania Twain mate. Man, I feel like a woman. Let’s go girls.

[@southamptontrainspotter553]

nice video but only if it was a 50 lol

[@gavin37688]

That would definately be interesting up there don’t know if it would like loaded an half loaded pushbacks on wet rail uphill thou… but yeh love a good Hoover me

[@grahamallen1970]

Quick overcharge on brakes in order

[@Grid56]

Agreed it would be better if the brakes weren't binding.

[@jappedut9009]

Nothing beats the Deltic sound ‼

[@gregosaurus5338]

This isn't a Deltic

[@MrRonan3]

Wrong !,

[@cidertom5230]

[@jonathoncary]

Baby Deltic. Only one engine at 1100 hp

[@robertmorley9748]

@@jonathoncary37’s are not Baby Deltics. They were class 23’s with one Deltic power unit . A class 37 is a simple V12 engine of 1750hp when built. 👍🏻

[@phillipcollins9290]

Dumb question, perhaps. The engine sounds very irregular: is that because it's slopping, or is it just the driver's style?

[@gavin37688]

Its pushing back a fully loaded lime train up hill, Class 37's are one the loudest built british loco's and don't or didn't do much of there work quietly

[@phillipcollins9290]

@@gavin37688What I mean is that it's not the constant sound we get with our GE's; more like a rev .. rev... rev... sort of sound. I've noticed they also sound similar when they notch up: almost in spurts, which ours (S Africa) don'e seem to do.

[@Grid56]

​@@phillipcollins9290Because it's slipping the power keeps being cut by slide detection.

[@alistairhenney7502]

This 37 come from Crewe DRS depot?

[@gavin37688]

Yes

[@bfapple]

I thought that the 37s are based at Kingmoor.

[@keithrimmer3]

Is this peak dale

[@gavin37688]

Correct

[@simongregory6482]

Would have been a great video but it’s encoded badly, artefacts everywhere so more or less unwatchable.

[@gavin37688]

Ohwell nevermind 👍🏻

[@TheFunkylogic]

what the hell are you talking about; video is on location and it is watchable

[@simongregory6482]

@@TheFunkylogic It’s glitchy and unstable, where did I say it wasn’t on location? I didn’t … pipe down.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

I don’t know what camera settings you used but it’s not pleasant to view. I hope DRS have seen this & since sacked the driver.

[@gavin37688]

Firstly i don't care... do i need to share the vids on here with everyone no" but i do... secondly lol its "NOT" DRS drivers on them here so try again.

[@TILOfficialYT]

Nonce

[@DanStanbridge]

What a stupid comment, nothing wrong with the camera whatsoever, a class 37 under load on a slippery gradient is bound to slip and thrash and lastly why would DRS see this and sack the driver? Considering it’s on hire to another company to shunt and it’s shunting as per it’s contracted duty I bet they’ve seen it and are impressed an old Loco is putting modern image locos to shame

[@philld1201]

I bet your fun at parties - NOT. What a miserable asshole you are.

[@beeble2003]

Nothing wrong with the video quality, which is about the best you can expect on a grey, drizzly day.
