Trains in the 1980s - Class 37s in Action - A compilation
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This video is a compilation of clips of Class 37s in action on the main line, filmed between 1987 and 1991. These have been put together in (TOPS) Class number order, and only show single loco workings, no double-heading.
Some locomotives feature more than once.
[All photos used in the opening sequence and the background music were taken/ written/ played by me.]

I have had no interest in trains in all my years but I love these 37s videos…nothing dodgy, nasty or dubious. Thank you.

Thanks for the sub Graham, and thanks for the comments. Not a railway modeller myself anymore (was many many years ago), so I can appreciate how these old clips might help. Look out for some other loco themed compilations as I get around to them. Cheers, Geoff.

The still pictures are very interesting, they look rather earlier than 1987, i don't suppose you were videoing then?

Well spotted! Once I got the video camera I had the dilemma of which one to do, so my still photos took a dive during 87-91. Thanks for commenting 👍😊
top stuff
