    Ol' EE still gettin' 'er done! Does this American railfan's heart good to still see these BR classics up and running. True workhorses of the British railroad network.

      Ooooh yes chief she curtainly got the job done ;-) got hours and hours of footage of her working hard up here not uploaded yet.... we've got Class 20's EE here at the moment but reckon soon enough a 37 will be back again doing the honours and i'll be camped out up Peak Forest

      @beeble2003 Před měsícem

      Which ones? A 66 has almost twice the tractive effort; a 70 has even more. Class 68s have a slightly higher tractive effort than a 37. I guess a 67 might struggle but they weren't designed for heavy freight work. Sorry to get in the way of your attempt at a "modern stuff is rubbish" play.

    Dumb question, perhaps. The engine sounds very irregular: is that because it's slopping, or is it just the driver's style?

      What a stupid comment, nothing wrong with the camera whatsoever, a class 37 under load on a slippery gradient is bound to slip and thrash and lastly why would DRS see this and sack the driver? Considering it’s on hire to another company to shunt and it’s shunting as per it’s contracted duty I bet they’ve seen it and are impressed an old Loco is putting modern image locos to shame
