- www.video125.com. A class 37 has two attempts to haul a laden china clay train. Our renowned Driver's eye views cover much of Britain and Ireland. This clip is an outtake from Cornish Branches filmed in 1990. Cornish Branches features the Fowey China Clay branch as well as four passenger ones - each featuring classic first generation DMUs.

As an American, I love the raw sound of these British engines.
I think he means the growling noise coming from the locomotive.
William Esposito ._.
oh how i miss being able to see these on a daily basis, and that is the best livery ever carried by a 37 in my opinion, truly awsome 80s colours
Gets me everytime, that growl and the twin exhausts, I rest my case!!!!
great video , thanks for sharing.
Always great to see clay traffic.
i love all railroad related noises !! like music to my ears
My all time favourite locomotive
It's got to be my favourite engine noise. I remember the Class 37s when I used to wave at the drivers and watch them enter Prestatyn train station back in the late 1980s.
me too, only further down the coast in Greenfield (Holywell Junction). I now have three class 37 variants on my 00 railway
The remaining 37s should have Preservation Orders awarded
I used to watch the nuclear flask train pulled by a BR green 37 in the 1970s for Bradwell power station as it went through our town. Now we have Canadian 66s. 😟
Awesome sound, what a beast!
I wasn't around in the 80s and 90s :( liveries / motive power everything seems so much better then!
Used to be a guard for railfreight from 1990 used to work the china clay on last leg of the journey from Bescot to cliff Vale stoke on trent 6v70.
I've the full VHS video with ti's clip on, non stop 37 power
To stop the wheels from slipping. You can see in the two 'takes'. In take one with the full load the train didn't get enough grip and had to start again.
From the TRACKS download at Video125. I have this on the vhs tape and is my favourite of all class 37 clips
Sounds pretty close to an old ALCo switcher. I am really diggin that turbo whistle!
Love the low grumble of these locos, currently mooching up and down the line at the back of my house on track cleaning duties.
Does this loco also has the deltic engine just like the British railways class 55?? It looks quite similar to it so I asked.......
@@theraildynasty_ Well, both the class 37 and 55 were manufactured by the same company - English Electric - in the early 1960s, however only the class 55s were built with a Napier Deltic engine (the class 37s were supplied with one of their own English Electric engines.)
There is some resemblance appearance-wise, though. Both locomotives were built with long noses at either end, and many of the class 37s were also built with a central headcode box, just as the class 55s were - so I can understand your point!
@@laurenceegan6136 ohh thank you so much for the information ❤️❤️❤️, I don't know much about the LNER, thanx for telling 😀😀😀.......
@@theraildynasty_ No problem Ryan! The Deltics were far more powerful, but began to be replaced by the new HSTs after only fifteen years of service. The last one was withdrawn with only twenty years of mainline use in 1982 (although six of the original 22 have been preserved and gone on to see mainline use.)
One was hired back out for freight and stock transfer duties a few years back, and I managed to see it pass through my local station.
They are an impressive sight.
The class 37s on the other hand often seem like they are making hard work of what they are doing, and yet of the 309 that were constructed between 1960-65, something like one in five is still in mainline service in 2021.
But have a listen to a recording of a Deltic on CZcams and compare it with the class 37, here!
@@laurenceegan6136 ohh 😍😍😍, I wish I lived in the UK to witness these awesome locomotives on duty, simply amazing how LNER maintains and still operates their old Steam and Diesel-electric locomotives, personally, I think that the class 55 wasn't meant to be retired so early, deltic engines (if I am not wrong) are meant for long term heavy duty use!, They don't have valves which make them even more reliable! Or maybe the complex design made them difficult to be kept on mainline duty, anyways, I just love the Variety of locomotives which are present in LNER, I will surely visit and see these locomotives myself one day! And even love to work for LNER 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️.......thanx for telling so much, never expected that someone would give me so much information! ❤️❤️❤️
what a roar from hell ! a bit scary though.
that sounds very beastly through bass enhanced headphones! :D
Superb
Video Tracks is a video/DVD worth getting!
Muhahaha that is the best music of all!!! Totally awesome wow
used to watch them at Golant.
now that's why there called growlers. epic sound
Most likely destination would be the Fowey branch where the clay is unloaded into container ships and exported by sea. Other destinations are around the UK by rail. This was how it was 20years ago anyway, things may have changed now.
awesome sound, best train ever built was the deltic i think.
SD70ACe T4.
Not opinion fact
Cool train and loco. Fat diesel sound. Thumbs up! :)
Sounds like a real Diesel locomotive!
Sounds like someone is farting into a bag of water
@123Legodude - the LAST thing it needs is a poxy GM engine. We have enough GM engined crap over here.
Thanks that,s what I thought, but given the engine drives a generator which in turn drives motors its not like a mechanical drive is it ?
or have I missed something ?
please enlighten me
Peter Mcintosh no, but in this case the engine powered an alternator after being refurbished in the mid-80s (before that it was fitted with a generator).
Why does it sound like it's in a bath tub full of water?
Sounds like an old Caterpillar bulldozer!
Don,t know why they tickle the throttle on start up ?
opening the throttle fully will cause wheelslip and overload the engine, tickling the trottle prevents this and the driver can gauge what power he will need.
Why can't the driver hold the engine at a constant speed ? Revving it up & down causes it to over-fuel, as shown by the clag out of the exhaust, and makes it far less efficient.
the wheels slip, so driver drops power until they grip again and he revs up. 37s are known for wheel slip. More power than the weight can handle.
They are built to do so something to do with their generators
massev of pulling power i bet the engine probably revs up to 1100rpm not even that
@jaggass850 RPM
wow it sounds sickly likes its gargling in water. needs a but GM motor in her ;) and give her some power like our US locos have
i live in the USA and the UK trains look funny
Well we invented them...
I like making models and the first one I made from wood was a class 37 loco with actual paint the railworks in Swindon let me use to finish it. Love these old locos.
sound muffled on my phone
Get a new phone?
still does!!
Tbh and no disrespect, but these things sound like old tractors.
Brilliant sound that🤣 it’s all muffled and distorted 👎
