Those turbos spooling what a sound. Miss the old diesels. I was born and raised in Tring Hertfordshire on the West Coast mainline. Used to go train spotting and it was awesome when diesel freights would come through.
Great stuff. What a lovely clean cab .Weren't like that when I used to cab them in the 70s. Everything covered in Tea stains lol. Especially liked the streaks below the windows . Lol.
I came from Australia and one of my wish lists was to visit this railway. i got here and it was closed i returned home feeling a bit empty. i will return when this covid rubbish is over! first on my list,
Next best thing to being in the cab yourself. Great video and lovely to see the countryside of Essex. From the comments, am I to understand that you can book a ride in the cab of a Class 37?
Traction motors would soon overheat on a heavy train so cold air is blown through them to keep them cool. The blower motors and air ducts are in the nose end, also exhauster which is for the braking system and fire bottles filled with CO2 gas

Oh dear. Rotten luck. Let us know there was a happy ending to this story!
Good to you
I had this driver experince booked as a gift for my 50th, but the deltic was there so took that instead, good excuse to go back and drive the 37..
I've been in that cab

I'd love to drive one of those beasts
You can, I would guess. I paid to drive a Deltic.
terrific!
This locomotive sort of reminds me of the kind that was modeled for the Thomas the Tank Series when they had a diesel by the name of Boco.
Always been curious, why does the throttle handle make an air sound?
I wish I knew, sorry. Does anyone else know reading this please ?
It’s a pneumatic system. The air sounds are due to pressure being charged and released.
Where abouts is this ? I would love to go and see a class 37! Any info would be appreciated thank you :)
It is in Essex. www.eorailway.co.uk/
I hope this helps.
whats inside the low headroom door

Why the phone call?
They were disorganised with the cab ride tickets and the guy was kindly trying to help resolve the situation.
Certainly wouldn't be allowed on the main line!
@@davey1121 Probably because this is a single branch line at low-ish speeds
@David Settle This is a heritage line.
