Going mob-handed, in fours! Never seen that before...

[@calvingrondahl1011]

The C-37s are easy to identity from a distance. I have never visited Britain and I only see Union Pacific here in Utah, USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@trainsplanes]

Can’t beat the sound of a 37 👌👍

[@dennisyoung4631]

Also, these have *soot/clag* - which connects to the past, just like the “old steamy trains.” One of these latter is shown at about 4:30 or so, and it shows some *soot,* too.

[@RIGIBBONS]

Now, those are PROPER locos..... Nostalgia from the time when the growl of these at Cambridge meant I was going home! (So much better than the character-less hissing things that whistle by near the bottom of my garden now.....)

[@alangordon3283]

The growlers

[@levelcrossing150]

Now that's what real diesel locomotives look and sound like!

[@dennisyoung4631]

Yup. They have *Soot,* which means (to me) that they’re sho’nuff *trains.*

[@konf82]

The Class 37 and Class 45 are the kings of british loco's.

[@trainsplanes]

Can’t go wrong with those 👌👍

[@Thornaby37]

Excellent compilation 👍 Hopefully the 37s will continue growling in 2023

[@trainsplanes]

Long live those 37’s! 🙏👍

[@AritroBiswas]

Mind blowing captures!!!!

[@stephenpowell5912]

Heavy metal Thunder ⚡ Fab video ,Long live the Tractors ❤️

[@trainsplanes]

I’ll sign up for that also 👌👍

[@rismul]

7:10 🤪 That acceleration!

[@nickkaye176]

Got a good microphone. Really hear some good growls and turbo whistles.

[@trainsplanes]

I’ve been through 3 of them to finally find a sensible one 🤣🙈

[@trainsmachineryldegmtrains3509]

Awesome images with "tractor" locomotives in action! Good work! Thumbs Up All the best from Dublin & Merry Christmas Andrew

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks Andrew - Happy Christmas also 👍🎄

[@paulprescott7913]

Superb.

[@ianjones4116]

Great collection, too many for me to pick a favourite. But the WCR leaving Crewe that was impressive. Got to be a 97 for me though . 😁👍👍😎😎

[@runways_railways]

I absolutely loved the video. Thanks

[@trainsplanes]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@bfapple]

0:53 looks like LSL collecting some ‘new’ 37 that they purchased from DRS.

[@trainsplanes]

Hi Db - That was the case - They were moved up to HNR Worksop. 👍

[@bfapple]

@@trainsplanes Thanks, indeed I had a chat with them recently about these extra 37s.

[@trainsplanes]

Hopefully they have something interesting lined up for them 🤞

[@JJthrashing]

Why was the Braunton getting pulled with D6187 looks like she was moving along under her own steam ?

[@trainsplanes]

Hi JJ, Braunton was indeed in light steam that day. It was a very hot day during the peak summer temps when there was a temporary steam ban in place due to fire risk.

[@JJthrashing]

@@trainsplanes oh right that makes sense now completely forgot about that during the hot spell 👍

[@pacificelectric1955]

Great video and impressive settings! What’s the castle at the end?

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks! That’s Shrewsbury Castle at the end of the video 👍

[@pacificelectric1955]

@@trainsplanes thanks! 😃😃😃

0:55 Class 37 conga

[@louiejonesponation]

Avengers! Assemble

[@nickmorton8630]

That West Coast Railways livery is a shocker like. So dull.

[@bfapple]

Melodramatic much.

[@JJthrashing]

Agree it’s not the best livery also Colas isn’t great either..

[@JJthrashing]

The 37 4 header was fantastic sounded like the front one was only working ? Great footage 👍

[@andrewwise6990]

I think the maroon livery suits the 37's and 47's.

[@Pluggit1953]

Is that Shrewsbury at 3:14?

[@IACooper]

Yes, the viaduct at Abbey Foregate heading to Sutton Bridge Junction

[@harrytd]

How is that as soon as a diesel fires up to move off we can guarantee some long-winded and repetitive announcer will sound off with completely unhelpful and irrelevant information?

[@trainsplanes]

Sods law - It does seem to happen regularly!
