I'm here because I'm playing Train Simulator and curious if 37 really sounded as beefy in life as they have been modeled in the sim. The sound of this engine is so guttural. We have nothing that sounds like this in the states, past or present. Or anywhere for that matter. 37 sounds like a beast. It deserved a horn that would have scared children and animals but horns in the UK "toot" apparently. Cool video. The scene at 5:28 was awesome. Perfectly manicured roadbed. Thanks for giving me something to watch.

Way back in the mid 1970s when I was a kid my first OO gauge model was a blue cl37, Hornby I think and by todays standards a bit unrealistic but I loved it and still have it. Definitely one of my favourite classes of loco.

Used to watch 37's going full pelt with empty haa's up the steep incline to barrow colliery with pistons hammering , much lowder and slower than when on passenger trains , i kid you not the ground used to shake, the network rail test train was closest to the sound but not eorking hard enough .

[@joeconnon4834]

I worked with them for years, In the 80's when the coal train came past our depot 2 class 37's and 44 coal wagons it was like an earth quake, the windows and doors would shudder and your cup would start dancing along the table and the floor would be vibrating.

Nrayanan Seshadri it’s a Network Rail test train and it is monitoring the state of the overhead lines.

[@connorthemusicguru690]

I don't live where these are used, and I have a question about them for anyone who knows. Why do they always start, then pause, then start, then pause again, then resume? Engine sound wise I mean. Do they have transmission gears they go through, or is that just the engine shifting speeds?

[@philrichardson5726]

They are diesel electric so no direct drive, so it's a bit off on to maintain a slower speed depending on the line, if you are going down hill you might apply power then coast and repeat till the required speed is reached.

[@connorthemusicguru690]

@@philrichardson5726 I see, so the driver is doing it. Ok, thanks!

[@planegaper]

Partially speed control, partially to keep the traction motors cool.. there's fans cooling the traction motors, to keep them at an ideal temp, , you can easily burn out the wiring from the gen, especially under a heavy load.. or just get wheel slip.. once the train is moving along at a good clip, they can pour on the power as the load on the loco is lighter, kind of like your car accelerating from a roll on , rather than a dead stop.. They lay off to let the motor fans cool the electrics and keep heat in check, plus wear and tear on the components.. dont know if they were thrashed in regular service, climbing grades can easily overheat the wiring or damage the commutator, etc.. once a certain temp is reached safety systems built in switch off the loco, happens all the time in the USA..
