  • Filmed on 2C47 Preston - Barrow-in-Furness. You could hear 37401 anywhere in the station before it even started! I've never been behind anything like it. Terrific! Turn it up very loud and please enjoy!
    Here another great thrash from 2022. English Electric Heaven!!

    Magic ! I remember about 1978 being in an oil depot right next to the Newcastle to Carlisle line when 45 iron ore tipplers pulled by 2 class 37s stopped at the signals right next to me . The signal cleared and the driver gave it some welly, the noise and air vibration was almost frightening. Absolutely awesome. 37s rule

    I'm sure we all love the shape of the Class 43 HST power cars. But I think the next best classic diesel locomotive is the Class 37 - those things don't like to hang about do they!

      The 43s and their Mk3 coaches are an elegant design that has aged extremely well, the 37s have a menacing look and sound but are equally cool, they are both British icons of the railways.

    I didn't know you could do an italian tune up on a loco! The load wasn't huge (200 tonnes?) but still skilfull driving to get it notched up so quickly,

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Před 3 měsíci

      Still had another loco on the end which stopped soon after which helped that day.

      Andrew Jones It was! They run in the week normally on the 10.04 from Preston to Barrow. Never thought I'd get the chance to do this but it was mint. The 4 coaches plus the other 37 on the other end gave this some real welly! Thanks for watching and hope you get the chance to do this too. P

    • @andrewjones6413
      @andrewjones6413 Před 6 lety

      Paul Jones Yes,i have done the run many times from Preston to Barrow and sometimes on to Carlisle behind the 37s but this set off is something else!! Thanks for sharing!

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Před 6 lety

    I used to prefer the loco hauled sets before the DBSO's were used. Always guaranteed entertainment at Preston as the rear loco had been idling for nigh on 5 hours. I've seen some and filmed some cracking departures of my own

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Před 5 lety

  • @noscopesallowed8128
    @noscopesallowed8128 Před 3 lety

    Could someone explain why these engines surge so much all the time? I've heard people say it's to do with something along the lines of turbo lag, but why does it keep doing it? Does the conductor throttle up/down the engine for some reason?

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Před 3 lety

      Hi there. My film this and I drove one about 6 years ago. Turbo lag for sure I was told, about 3 seconds from input to response was what I noticed. Plus people have talked about a wheel slip prevention system that affects the bpm so to speak. That’s what I’ve come across. Paul

      Hot oil goes near the exhausters. It’s in the design. Wouldn’t be allowed now!
