Summer 22, DRS open day at Crewe British railways class 37 and 68 diesel locomotives

[@alanhunter2051]

Having driven a 37 as a teenager. The smell sound and thrill. English Eclectic starup is second to a Gardner 8L3 Both have a unique place in my heart.

[@OscarOSullivan]

My favourite model I own is a Bachmann class 37 in BR blue with TOPS numbering

[@connormeechan5784]

No better Sound than Dirty Diesel… especially British Diesel!

[@mercury7590]

Class 37s: Growling Class 68: *RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

[@lwrdcarsandcoffeemedia3679]

Tbh tho the 68 do sound the part at full chat especially with their quad turbo configuration

[@stephenjames59]

These used to come past my house on the Cumbrian Coast line. I loved it when they went by, it was a sad day when they phased them out!

[@TRAlNVlDEOS]

One along the coast tommorow although not DRS

[@boilerroombob]

Love these diesel's martin ....when one ever came up the electrictrified line near us we were so excited as kids back in the late 70s cos where we lived in essex they were rarely seen

[@MartinZero]

Yeah same here, certain stuff was rare in the north like 50's 👍

[@mickd6942]

37's used to storm past my house at full pelt to go up the gradient to Barrow colliery ,they used to make the ground shake and the clag would make Greta faint lol

[@gazjones8781]

On that note, I think we're overdue a walk along some of Beeching's victims.

[@TheWebstaff]

That would make a good set of video exploring the old lines that are no longer in use.

[@MartinZero]

Done a few of those 👍🏻

[@OscarOSullivan]

[@Del-bm]

I love them old tractors

[@OscarOSullivan]

As do I

[@mileshigh1321]

I learned how to drive a diesel locomotive when I volunteered on a museum railroad, here in Canada. It was an EMD NW2 #7941 built for Canadian National Railways, back in the 1940's! I can still hear the sound of her starting up! Loved to have been there that day with you Martin!

[@MartinZero]

I'd love to drive one

[@mrbillmacneill]

a very nice four stroke diesel sound! quite similar to a MLW/Alco clearing its throat....

[@GGS1956]

I’m a team loco fan, they sound better than farmyard tractors, unless of course it’s a Diesel Class 55 Deltic. Have fun

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

Valenta HST?

[@donaldelliot240]

You cannot beat the roar of the Class 37 👍

[@notwenjohn6852]

That was a great day Martin! It was good to meet up with you, Liam and Roy! And those Class 37s were amazing! Fab day.

[@MartinZero]

Yeah memories of a hot summer 😀

[@RaduPN]

Music to my ears❤

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

Those were some beautiful growlers all right

[@toby070]

As long as you keep them on a leash, that's fine 😅

[@mattvaughan180]

Not the kind of growlers I was hoping to see but hey ho 😂

[@simonwhitlock9189]

Saw a growler shooting ping pong balls once.

[@RoadandRailAdventures]

37419 and 37425 my favourite 37s

[@northwesttrainspotting507]

Think 37s are brill, same as 142s (Pacers) and 507 and 508s (PEPs) PEP= Prototype Electro Pneumatic. In fact Merseyrail trains are class 507 and 508s, but they are going very soon, so i recommend you film them before their ultimate demise. I’ve already got hours of footage of them including 507001 and 507002.

[@MartinZero]

Thanks I agree, but am more of a Locomotive fan really

[@ReeceDawson-ev2if]

Class 68 is my favourite train

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

Hello There Again it is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 313, Class 314 and that also is including those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 313's Class 314's including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Leyland 680 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB, Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314's and the Class 315's Diesel Train Fans out there Please Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Pretty Please?
