In 2003 37717 was sent down to bank the Margam to Corby loaded steel coil, with 60045 on the front and 37717 at the rear it proved to be very loud with plenty of thrash enjoy.
This has got to be one of the best vids on 37s. I'm guessing you enjoyed that run up the bank !! Continual Effin Thrash !! C'mon !!! I did/said same as you when my mate took me from, Shrewsbury to Dee Marsh. Coming back via Crewe. Summer night, all windows open , both engine room doors open, 37213 screaming on full chat !!! Nouse !!! Not noise, Fucking Music. An they get paid for it Lol. No wonder my Dad was deaf in his later years. BR man 44yrs, love him. Keep it up. These new loco's, got no style. 37s got the look And sound awesome. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, and yes we try to treat them well most of the time but at the top of the Lickey its straight off the power and onto the loco brake as there is a quick stop after the sand drag.
Be nice to your engine - come of the power one notch at a time over half a minute or so if you have time - especially when it's been really working.....
