GOOD OLD 37'S SHOWING THE WAY AGAIN TO THE YOUNGSTERS CLASS 66

proper locomotive with proper thrash absolute beast of a machine

Always have a Vintage Diesel Handy ❤ Fabulous sound ❤️lovely sound of the Class 37 Tractors ❤️

I love the 37s they just don't give up

The fact that the thing that replaced 37s had to be rescued by one

Poor thing, flogging it pieces to pull up the grade! Nice one though, considering that's a first generation Diesel. Lucky to capture the scene on video. Thanks for posting it 😉👊👍

Used in Cardiff / Swansea area for years, triple coupled giving 5250 hp, brilliant.

Tractor by name and by nature - pull anything, slowly

Good old English Electric to the rescue! :)

Ironically I have a lima model of 66250. It doesn't work either haha

😮Fairly new to the thrash and clag scene but have the class 37 sound etched on my memory due to one appearing out of nowhere for the Weardale cement trains at Stanhope, County Durham when passing through. I have become a Lickey incline fan even tho I have yet to visit it.

The Class 37 was the best locomotive produced by the Rail Modernisation Plan. Prove me wrong

This is just a slight slope compared to the Tyne Dock to Consett branch up here in County Durham, double headed 37's used to haul 800 ton iron ore trains up a 9 mile stretch with 1 in 49 and two stretches of 1 in 35 with some wicked curves, two 9F's did it in the days of steam...
