Great footage as usual Mike. Am I the only person who doesn't like the updated lights on some of the 37's? Maybe I'm just old fashioned. It was great to see 37025 and 37175 , a current Bo'ness loco and a former Bo'ness loco. A few years ago, I was at the Metro centre with my coach, when a 37 passed with a ballast train. The driver opened her up as he passed me, it was music to my ears! It brightened up my boring, long day!

I notice quite a few "light power" moves with just a single locomotive (sometimes two) not pulling any train on many Class 37 videos. Here in the USA it's rather rare to see that since the train is not making any money. I have to give credit where credit is due in saying the Brits have built 3 of the top best sounding engines on the planet - the EE 12CSVT, the R-R Merlin, and the parallel twin (Triumph Bonneville, Norton Commando, etc). All are timeless classics.

Wow them were great day with them 37/3 working off Motherwell, that old shark brake van has been there for years . (dumped) Cheers for viewing my 37 video, there will be more of this class from the early days.

Good to hear 37's before seeing them! A minor potted history of shown 37s: 37059 / 37069 / 37025 - Eastern region originals - along with 37109 & 37116 used to wake me up when I was staying in my grandparents gatekeepers cottage along the East Suffolk Line. Those cottages are flush up against the line and damn did those 37's rattle things ... like my teeth. But not car alarms; we didn't have them back then! Pity they're not still original split headcodes ... unlike 37025 (and 37099) 37175 / 37610 / 37425 / 37402 - Welsh wonders originally stabled at Canton or Landore. Always seemed to sound different to the other 37's to me. 37601 - Interesting loco. Originally D6705 / 37005 - technically the oldest 37 still on the mainline (Unless D6700 is?); been stabled all over the UK. You know that at the start of the year there were FIVE 37's stabled at Norwich Station to rescue the failing Flirts? Also on the 24th of December 2020 that'll be the 60th anniversary of a 37 - aka D6700 - pulling that classes first passenger coaches?
