class 37 clag

departing Gobowen station heading for shrewsbury with a load of HEA's, pity we don't see this anymore...a 37 on full thrash, mega stuff!!!

[@williamsportwrestler]

Clag = "Rollin Coal" to us here in the United States. I love this video and it's good to see someone else loves watching diesels do what they do best!

[@PeteBurns-xv2fz]

Its a big thing in the uk buddy, the old diesel engines were just powerhouses and a huge part of my youth..now all we have are ugly diesel trains with zero character..the engines we had in the uk were fabulous looking beasts...its great that you liked this...i often watch bits about american trains and trucks...great stuff 👍

[@ctra1ns]

Brings me back to the days of loco hauled 37s pulling out of Inverness with great clag. Good to hear most tractors are still in mainline use!

[@oldsynth]

Thanks dude but I'm not really a trainspotter. Not in the sense that I stand by a line and take down numbers of passing locos. I'm a Basher...and 37's are my beasts. My hobby Is exstinct now as these beauties are all but gone. I don't see the point in trainspotting, but hanging out of the window of a Mk2 coach, right behind a 37 on full thrash with the wind and diesel fumes in yer mush.... Now that's heaven. Hellfire!

[@19orbelow]

YOU JUST CANT BEAT THE SOUND OF AN EE AT FULL CHAT AND YOUR NARRATIVE MADE MY DAY!!

[@Sackbladder]

That was hellfire. I usually don't like commentary, but that was funny mate!

[@oldsynth]

Cheers man

@@SouthEastTrainspotter I got there in the end dude lol

[@oldsynth]

Yeah, I remember many times, walking in a drunken state accross the dana to go to the buttermarket at midnught and hearing a 37 pulling through!! mega stuff man.

[@ianjones4116]

Stumbled over The Dana, shouting abuse at the Prisoners, drunkenly heading home to Castlefields most weekends lol I even remember doing original conversion of Howard st warehouse aka Buttermarket. Goid old Shrewsbury 👍

[@neildeakin4454]

When a loco gives your stage 4 lung cancer but your still happy.

[@TheMNrailfan227]

The scheme this engine is wearing reminds me of the old Wisconsin Central livery

[@justinobrien3593]

This is the best tractor clagg video I've seen so far!!!🥰😍🤩

[@oldsynth]

Cheers man 😁

[@justinobrien3593]

Love these beasts good video I miss going round Tinsley tmd/Bescot listening to them taking to each other on tick over 😆 good video of clagg I like 37s kicking shit out everywhere lol 😆

[@oldsynth]

Can't beat these beasts

[@jetstream454]

Oh boy! 😂 It looks like one turbo wasn't spooling, maybe

[@BarnacleBill77]

Whenever i'd see a 37 on the track i'd always signal to the driver to wind it up, and more often than not they would :)

[@PeteBurns-xv2fz]

My favourite engine EVER...prefer it in br blue with its yellow nose caps...but i just love the class 37....the 1st model train my dad bought me as a boy in 1978..😪

[@mrspivvy]

great vid! I can't resist an expletive or two myself when watching one of these beasties pulling off

[@bobthenob7038]

Look at that beast and that flat. I think I've just mad a mess

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Wow that's amazing, what a 37 show! Driver certainly gave his best shot, and what a shot!! Cheers. Ken

[@dangerousandy]

This is probably the best video ever.

[@oldsynth]

dangerousandy lol cheers man

[@marcconyard5024]

You should've made the trip to Cairns in far North Queensland to witness the QR 1620 class EEs as they slogged it out on the the long Climb up Baron Gorge. The most amazing spectacle ever. Same engine as the Class 37 I believe.

[@adamrover600]

Loves the thundering sound as it goes past. Love it, hellfire!

[@Penfold37250]

hahaha "thats the best clag i've ever seen COUGH COUGH COUGH" love it. 37712 was a very claggy machine towards the end of 2002, seem to remember she had turbo problems or a cracked exhaust or both.

[@stretchlimo7275]

Cool video👍🏼. Damn does that thing burn filthy and inefficient! The Brits should just invest in a few older EMD SD40-2s, call it a day

[@MrLaydownsally]

problems on the nearside six?! reminds me of when i was a kid and watching the clssic 37's and 47's pull out of bascot marshalling yard fully laden with allegros etc going to longbridge , little did i know i was watching the best days of the railways - todays stuff is all plastic boring efficient characterless crap !

[@carefreecfc]

Awesome video, the commentary is the best bit !

[@bennoakes2477]

Great to see such a modern railway of 4-wheelers and 3-link chain couplers. They really did call it done with the Rocket lol.

[@justinobrien3593]

I loved choaking on diesel fumes in the 80s 90s best times ever for British locomotives on freight as I could always hear a tractor coming from miles away as they was always loud and lively they was and still are one of the best loco's on British railways networks as there's still a good 100 of these bad boys still in existence either preserved or still active on network rail duties!!! Drs are selling some more off again plus a few choppers they will probably go to Harry needle the 37s to West Coast/ian Riley/Harry needle let's wait and see!!!😎

[@fabianthomas7312]

the true power of a class 37 growler that noise awesome!!!!!

[@mrspivvy]

My workplace is right next to a railway line, we do occasionally see a '37 used on line testing work, none on freight any more though

I am a train 🚆and I approve this video!

[@Isochest]

I could watch this again and again and again:-)

[@PeteBurns-xv2fz]

I do my mate...and it takes me right back to the late 70's...where i live in bootle..merseyside we had a containerbase that ferried cargo form the depot to the docks twice every day...it was mostly 47's..but we'd get the odd 25..31..even a hymek one day...but the 37 is my all time favourite...it looks like a train should..sweet man 👍

[@shyboyangelus]

ha ha , great vid , all trainspotters should be like you ,

[@MrBinxter]

awesome.what a clag monster,one of the best clips ive seen.

[@RuberyB451]

Clag is similar to reving the bollocks!! off in a car or van. When you rev up a 37, the monster roars into action. Great piece.

[@cidertom5140]

If the car or van is diesel. Although an old petrol car could be claggy too on startup with black smoke.

[@markbradleyf1]

Nice! These locos rule!

[@kenquattro6562]

[@PeteBurns-xv2fz]

@@oldsynth cool mate...i live by what used to be a container base in liverpool and frequently saw 37s..mostly 47s..the odd 25 and 29...but..when the grand national was staged we had deltics towing the racegoers...it was pure magic for me as a boy..👍

[@dangerousandy]

You dirty Clag!!! Love it!!! 37's forever!!

Wish I'd seen that run through Shrews, although I probably heard it! That's all you used to hear late at night there at one time, 37's on the avoiding loop past the abbey, Good days :)

I don't know much about trains, sorry, but is 'clag' the train equivelent of a diesel car smoking when the driver accelerates hard? If that's true, do more modern locos have particulate filters the same as modern diesel cars do?
