Class 37's - WARNING 40 minutes of neighbour annoying thrash!

[@Tippsy561]

This is weird, it's 3.30am and I'm watching these clips of Class 37s! I'm a middle aged woman, not even a trainspotter, but my goodness me do they bring back memories. In the mid 1980s I lived in mid-Devon - very near where the Barnstaple line split from the Meldon quarry line. If I was awake about 4.30 on a summer morning with the windows open I used to hear a 37 sweating the gradient with 8 coaches on its way to Barnstaple - a comforting and majestic sound which I'll never forget and which came minutes before the train actually passed. That service would return about 8am before I set off to work, gliding down the gentle hill. Two coach DMUs were the normal traffic on that line so the early morning 37 was always a real growly treat. Thanks for sharing!

As a young Dutchman, I worked on Basingstoke station as buffet-assistant for Travellers Fare in 1976. And lived in a room in the very nice appartment on the second floor of that building. When going to bed at around 10 pm., a Class 37 would come every night and stay there exact under my sleepingroom-window for one hour with it's engines stationary rattling. I transferred to King's Cross station, working in a sandwichbar at a platform. Full view on the Deltic 55's from my workplace. my lunchbreak I would spend on the platform, seeing them pulling in or leaving with that roaring sound. Two sounds I will never forget . ( And make me "homesick" when I hear them , even on KZbin :) )

Needs a DCC controller to get the 25 different sounds from her. But can run on DC power as well. Both can pull large loads and have been 100% reliable. Always ready to run.

@@MrThrash37 You're most welcome and thank YOU for a very fine video!

[@joemama397]

Used to have similar model named Class 20 built for Malayan Railways,too bad none survived till today,all scrapped except for one non-working model Awesome to see these English Electric trains still working in good condition

[@parhamazima5767]

I heard class 37s pass by Bedroom window on Durham Bridge every day from 1979 until 1981 when came to stay in London from 1981

Today Indian Railways still retains some of the oldest diesel locomotives belonging to WDG 3A and WDM 3A classes, and various types of coaches as well. Some of these loco classes smoke a lot more than these Class 37s. In future we will have some diesel locomotives as backup after Indian Railways is 100% electrified. Nice to see these grandfathers chugging down the line.

[@CPAlburtisRailroader]

You guys have some old ALCos yet too.

[@AnubhabKundu]

@@CPAlburtisRailroader yes they will be only kept for exigencies. After electrification, these will be taken over by electric loco classes WAP 5 and mostly WAP 7, and WAG 7, WAG 9 and WAG 12.

[@AnubhabKundu]

@@CPAlburtisRailroader by the way WDG 3A and WDM 3A/3D are all ALCo based locomotives that operate in India.

I'm almost 60 years of age now and not long ago I lamented the demise of steam. I loved the sight and sound of a steam loco but as my years progress, I still love steam btw, but when I listen to the thrash of a 37 to me that is now a classic sound in much the same a a steam loco was to me so long ago..

[@MrThrash37]

They are fantastic John.

[@SprattyHeath]

And this is why I love the sound of a tractor!

[@npr1300A8]

Truly spectacular! Thank you for your work.

[@toprus7412]

Hi from Poland! I really like the sound of these engines, it’s something really stunning. Reminds me somewhat of the Romanian 060Da locos we used to have here. Little bit closer to the Czechoslovak 751 class though. I also have to say, really great footage you got there. Is there any 37’s left in normal service or are all heritage by now?

[@Baddog-ib5mf]

no many still working

[@colinspeake..8889]

Best train ever! O the memories and what a sound!!

[@MrThrash37]

Love the 37’s!

[@stewartatkinson4179]

Fantastic video and very enjoyable to watch!

[@MrThrash37]

This is awesome! Got to be the best EE Type3 compilation on KZbin! The clip of 109 reminds me of a time, when I drove the beast at the ELR in Bury station and got "a slap on the wrist" for opening her up! Worth it thoughl

[@microbusss]

hope ALOT of these locos get preserved

[@martinanderson1995]

Look up Bo' ness and Kinnell museum railway. Great videos of steam and diesel trains working and under restoration plus expansion development of the line. Currently, due to covid, the railway is being cuddled by nature.

[@sheepfarm7560]

Brilliantly put the video love these engines .

[@Davetg01]

used to watch the deltic pulling loads out of steetley magnesite in Hartlepool when I was young.

[@12crepello]

The class 37 is not a Deltic.

[@sturmgesutz]

Love the class 37's I don't know much about the workings of the railways but have always wondered why there are often 2 engines and sometimes only a few carriages / wagons. even though both engines are working, seems like a waste of fuel to me... but there must be a valid reason.

[@mokotramp]

I've seen some of these bad boys hauling freight during the early hours through Worcestershire. You can hear them 5+ miles away before they're seen, what a sound!

[@MrThrash37]

mokotramp you certainly can, some of my videos I’m this collection are in Worcestershire

[@alexhiggins7307]

The noise of my child hood, a 37 hammering it up and down a Welsh valley line, towing tonnes of coal. That exhaust note, you could hear from miles away!

[@tomstech4390]

What I want to hear: Engines, Things unique to the trains the project power. What I dont: Horns. Am I a wierd minority or is this just one of those unsaid things?

[@pugmanick]

I completely agree.

[@mattjones1992]

Toms Tech horns do get a bit damn annoying after a while

[@K-Effect]

Signals get annoying also

[@stbu9709]

Horns definately very annoying, US ‘Railfanners’ obsession with horns does your head in!

[@alcopower5710]

Steve Burgess ........hey now. I'm a rail fan in the us and I'm not into the horns. Perhaps I'm in the minority but but I only like an occasional horn blast and that's it. Rather just hear the diesel and mechanical noises. Cheers

[@martinanderson1995]

Look up Bo'ness and Kinnell railway. Steam and diesel restoration plus rail expansion. Really great scenery included. Enjoy.
