    1080p 50fps HD!
    A video i teased on the community page and a video i have been wanting to make, dedicated to the Class 37 the workhorse of the railway. 37s such as 37/0s, 37/1s, 37/2s, 37/4s, 37/7s, 37/8s & 97s are all included in this video! From the Greater Anglia Short Set to test trains, stadler rescues & light engine workings, i've compiled clips featuring the 37 giving it the beans! Filmed from various locations from Anglia and other places.

    When I was about 6 I was taken to New St station, I think to see someone off. The train about to leave from the platform I was on was being pulled by what was then a new diesel locomotive. Of course it was a class 37 - THE diesel loco... I was close to it when it suddenly opened it's throttle and roared. I jumped out of my skin, I'd never heard anything like it, the sound went right through me, it was such a thrill. What a sound, same sort of sensation as the best rock band ever... still can't get enough of it even now. Cheers for the upload, amazing sounds...
