15 Mins of Class 37 'Tractors' GROWLING..! 

I haven't taken much interest in the railways for a long time but I must say how pleasant it is to see these quite old locomotives still earning their keep, and in such lovely condition too!- it makes such a difference to see them gleaming

Now you're talking. You're spoiling us - a real crowd pleaser! Who doesn't like watching / listening to growling tractors? The chap in the hi-viz jacket at (I think) Shrewsbury station had a ringside seat. They used to be everywhere when I was a boy growing up in South Wales. The HNRC-livered example looked good hauling the logs. I'm going to try to replicate the 37-20-20-37 consist on my layout this weekend. Awesome.

class 37’s are nearly as old as me, great to see them earning their keep still.

A good video as always of tractors clagging and as these locomotives are one of the best 1960s british built loco's ever built and they're one of the biggest surviving diesel classes of any BR loco's ever built to date as i think 109 still exist out of 307 that aint bad!!! 😊

Love the 37s. That timber train shows just how powerful they are. We only usually see them pulling a few passenger cars.

37s just sound awesome and look great love them

this is excellent ! the uk has so many interesting trains, love to see they all are still used 😁

British trains are cool and have character. 😋😋

Opening shot is a belter!!!

I love the sound of a Class 50, but for sheer power and grunt you really can't beat a '37' at full thrash

I love the 37s

v high quality footage

Great footage . Nicely shot. Hopefully the timber workings will last , shame they didn't in Scotland.

Absolutely video. Many thanks

Lovely collection

Nice shots of Shrewsbury.

Excellent Catches 👍

we always knew them as "Growlers" or "Baby Deltics" nice compilation🙂🙂

fantastic

Well that was strange, brilliant, thankyou.

Id love to see a hybrid train of the class 37 growler crossed with a class 55 deltic!! Maybe a deltic window on the 37 and mix of the slow speed almost dragon breathing sound of the 37 and the high speed deltic drone!!

Any idea if you can get to know where these types of locos are going to be ahead of time? I live not far from Shrewsbury and would have headed down there to check them out if I'd have known.

After commuting every day on those 507's and 508's... it's sad to see them being dragged off for scrap :(

One of those drivers is a Yorkshire man I reckon

Cracking video well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RU-vid bye for now Philip

The train at 3.29, couldn’t help noticing it’s freight, looks like a small forest has been felled somewhere. Again at 13.18, different train with the same freight or more trees?

And the 508s was Never seen again

5:30 Sligthy overpovered...

Are those Merseyrail units headed for scrapping?? If so whereabouts?
