The late Ray Towell, Operations Curator at the National Railway Museum, had a holiday home nearby and was a massive fan of these workings. He described the 37s' exhaust as being like "angels' wings" and the sound of them like "distant thunder".

What a great video. The sun was out, blue sky with classic traction. Happy days!

Just started on my archive of 37s, so lots more to come soon

[@BruceB303]

Stunning. I wondered when someone was going to use the latest in AI upscaling on railway videos from this period, couldn't be happier that it is yourself with your fantastic source material.

[@neiltonks4627]

Great video, and the upscaling is just stunning

[@kipsome45]

Brilliant quality for 1990’s footage.

Just got some new tech to help me Trevor, hopefully first vid of many 37s in the SW & North Wales

spectacular, love it

37674 was my last 37 took me years to track it down

[@LewisLocos]

Great quality!

37-674 now up at the Strathspey Railway, Aviemore, Scotland.

7:28And they were allowed to walk along sidings with a weedkiller spray! Now you'd need a line possession to do that

Wow - your enhancement software gives me hope. I have tons of hi-8 footage from the 1990s shot with a Canon L1. It was the highest resolution at the time. I must delve deeper into your equipment to see if it can help me. Problem is - the L1 crapped out so have no way of playing my old tapes.

I bought a Sony digital 8 camcorder that will digitally transfer via firewire

The days when S&T technicians would be on hand to fix the crossing gates with a can of WD40. Now all trains would be stopped for hours while a Rapid Response Squad comes from Plymouth 😐
