I never ever tire of hearing old diesel locos working hard. I think it’s just us engine freaks that understand what I mean by this. Most other people say it’s just an engine but we all know different 😉. 40’s and 50’s sound awesome too. Maybe it’s that huge V16 which never seems to be working hard no matter the load. Love the video. What a catch. Thanks for sharing with us all.
In fact 37’s have V12’s but also some were Ruston and some merrlees.the Dustin’s were straight 6’s as was the mirrlees. A completely different sound esp 37906!!!
I have never been interested in trains but totally fed up with the muck and drivel on social media I stumbled across the 37s. What a revelation and a pleasure.
Flat out,? She looked like she was standing still,? Anyway, love these Diesel Engine's The Thunder of that Engine, Magnificent, Can never understand why they blow so much smoke, in this case it looks fine,? Anyway, God Bless & This lovely engine, 😊
Those old 37s just seem to get better as time goes on,their a lot cleaner than they used to be perhaps they have now got the fuelling right after all these years.
For those moaning that its not flat out. In this case its referring to the actual engine itself being at full power ie working hard, not the actual speed of the train. . Just to clear that up.
Thanks mate. Yeah it takes a bit of dedication to get to but it is doable. If you go to the Railway cottages at Blackwell and use the access path for the cottage fronts you can go down to the bottom of the path and use a ladder to get a view over the steel fencing. You’ll have a head full of conifer tree but its worth it 😁
@@lickeyincline Yeah and since you are actually lineside without a track safety certificate, you are trepassing on Network Rail property. Don't encourage others to follow in your bad habits because if something happens you will be a greasy stain under the wheels of the train you went to film and a very bad nightmare for the driver who runs you down.
See a flashing yellow signal - somethings going across the junction… As for the Class 37, sounds healthy - they just plod alone like a good old workhouse that they are 👍
Junction is another section ahead, at signal yellow. And who knows what the next signal is displaying on the diverging line? Not allowed to let the driver know if it is R/Y/YY or G. And it's not really going across a junction. It's just taking the slower, diverging route. Been doing this for 43 years, but nice to see I'm not the only person seeing the flashing yellow. Introduced for HSTs.
@@stevekelly5166 a bit of route knowledge goes a long way. Even though it may be a ‘diverging route’ I/ we still called it a junction - interesting how you can do the same job, with the same tools, but use a variation on terminology according to which part of the country you’re in 🤷♂️

Quite right Chris!

I think they mean flat out as In the throttle is flat out at full power not the actual forward momentum being flat out. .
What’s better than a Class 37 at full bore? Twin 37s! Great video, thank you! 🤩

fucking Hell what a beast I love how you can hear it off in the distance long b4 you actually see proper locomotive with proper thrash
Is there really any need for swearing or do you just have a limited vocabulary?
@@davebarclay4429 Fuck yeh, sttick it to 'im
No video does justice to that echo through the hills
Lovely shot with the clouds.
Yes the real deal not clag !!
@@metalmickyclouds are nature's clag.
Tkes me back to O Level Maths listening to the Ore trains going up to Consett in 1974.
LOVE THIS !! , thanks for posting .
I like the way the wind waves the sound in and out of hearing at first.
love the lickey incline and brill video good old 37 thrash
Chelmswood Jct thanks buddy. Was a treat!
Why do they leave sections of rail like that in the middle of the sleepers ?
Absolutely flat out, yeah right.
👍
The throttle is flat out ie full power. Not the forward momentum.
Flat out can mean could mean a top speed of 25 mph if the gradient is against the loco. So yes it was flat out in both respects.
We're in licky is this? This is licky Hills beam?
It reminded me of the opening scene in "Lawrence of Arabia" for some reason but was a bit shorter!
For those moaning that its not flat out. In this case its referring to the actual engine itself being at full power ie working hard, not the actual speed of the train. . Just to clear that up.
May I ask if your filming location is accessible for myself please and if so, how I could get there?
Also, cracking video. Great sounds aswell👍
Thanks mate.

@@darreng745 You Karen 🤣
@@darreng745 He was specifically not trespassing - looking over a fence is not an offence. You should apologise.

Flat out....for a British train!
Was that a baby test train?
Brilliant sounds, driver cut power at Lea Hall when I was filming.
Unlucky buddy but at least you’ve seen it 🙌
My god! Four coaches!?
nice im this videos 7000th view
That seems to be hauling an EMU. Had the EMU failed?
It had been for modifying work
Spooky 😂
Great video and that 37 sound is awesome. Must say I dislike the overhead wire's on Lickey incline.
Dreamliner Steve thanks! Yeah the wires are a norse!
Well electric trains are better for inclines like that.
These vids should be on Country File ..considering 75% of it is listening to the birds....
😂😂 upgrade your speakers you’ll hear the engine 😉
Anyway, gives it atmosphere!
Diesel? No sound better than a steamer!
flat out? ticking over more like
Flat out?
It's a term used to describe something or someone working extremely hard 🙂
bit like watching paint dry!
Not working that hard.
Flat out click bait!
Start @ 1:43
Too long no loco no noise click bait
That is not flat out!!🫤🫤 Not even labouring n nor should it be with four cars in tow..🫤☝🏾☝🏾
