Fact: Lawrie has a website. He just never talks about it for some reason.

@huwdavies6650 3 года назад

As a child, I remember going on the through train from Aberystwyth to London Euston. From Aberystwyth it was hauled as far as Shrewsbury by a 37. At Shrewsbury it was replaced by a 47 as far as Wolverhampton where it was replaced either with an 86 or an 87. The 37 was always the one with the most character.

@V8Bluebottle 3 года назад

Pretty sure the horns on a split headcode 37 are behind the grilles on the nose above the headcode boxes rather than on the roof.

@rickybrett6846 3 года назад

Yep 😉

@tr673 3 года назад

Love the 37s and the sound they make, as does my dad. The horns aren't on the roof as they are located inside the loco's nose, which you can tell because there is a pair of circular horn grilles on each end for the sound to come out of. Only the 37s built with split headcode boxes and access doors had the horns in the nose; the later ones without end doors had the horns to the roof for some reason.

@TimThatTrainGuy 3 года назад

the class 37 is my favorite class of british diesel and that model looks great

@StandardGoose 3 года назад

I don't own any model diesels, but the class 37 is the one diesel I would consider getting.

@TankEngine75 3 года назад

AGREED

@GTRider69 3 года назад

Regarding the horns some of the class had them mounted internally so it could represent one of them.

@rickybrett6846 3 года назад

The spilt box version he has the horns was mounted internally, you can see the grills above each headcode box for them, the centre headcode 37s they were mounted on the roof

@nicolaiitchenko7610 3 года назад

I notice that your model sports the "arrows of indecision" made famous by British Rail who, most often used to display boards at stations displaying; "British Rail regrets to announce - all trains running as normal."

@GMMG1980 3 года назад

Good video, no roof horns on your Lima 37 though as they are behind the circular grills on the front of the nose (phase 1 class 37 with phase 2 & 3’s having horns on the roof like your green one).. The aerials would be to show it is an RETB fitted loco and the Highland Region sticker on the cab side’s are for Inverness’s based locos

@ILikeTransport 3 года назад

Hi Lawrie, brilliant video, looks very nice! I'm a big fan of the 37s. That particular one (split headcode front) has horns in the nose, not on the roof. Centre headcode has them one the roof (as with the Hornby one).

@ILikeTransport 3 года назад

I'm actually seeing a network rail class 97 (converted from 37, but. They sound and look the same) later.

@WHRBERT 3 года назад

You got yourself a very nice loco at a very good price mate

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos 3 года назад

Your analogy of Lima is perfect. My first ever 00 gauge loco as a kid was a Lima class 27. The detail wasn’t great, but it had a massive weight inside and was industrially built, and would pull everything I had. My Hornby Class 55 was the next one down, but even after I had put a 1” or so head bolt inside it with multiple nuts run onto the thread for extra ballast, the Lima 27 was still the boss.

@lmm 3 года назад

Lima locos were built like tanks!

@Meengineer100 3 года назад

The 37s are the most superior diesel locomotives ever built in my opinion. The split box 37s were built with horns inside the nose rather than mounted on the roof (you can see the circular grills high up on the front of the nose which cover them). Regarding the 37/9s, only 6 were rebuilt of which 3 survive today. 37906 is being restored at the Battlefield Railway, 901 is close to returning to the mainline and 905 is, I believe, stored at Leicester. 905 and 906 have Ruston engined which I think are 4 cylindered and sound really nice. Great video as always, I enjoy seeing the retro models. I like the fact they are still able to run decades after being built, much like the real ones themselves. :)

@robinforrest7680 3 года назад

Now I feel really old. The Walsall - Water-Orton line ran alongside our school and a procession of MGR hopper trains and various other freight hauled by classes 25, 24, 20's in multiple, 31, 37, 40, 44, 45, 46, 47 and 56 trundled past all day long. The 47's and 56's were being turned out with wrap round yellow ends, large logo and large numbers in corporate blue at the time (must have been around 1980?). Highly practical for us because it meant we could even note the numbers down while we were in English Literature class 😂. I still managed to get a B in my O level exam... I think there'll likely be a few large logo 80's diesels on my future garden and garage layout. It'll make a change from filthy Black 5's and 9F's.

@cyberleaderandy1 Год назад

Love 37s, especially when they fire up after a cold start. Certainly deserve the "tractor" name but boy they have character.

@lmm Год назад

They are super machines

@mcgherkinstudios 3 года назад

Lawrie, have you driven/will you drive a 37? It would be fantastic to see the whole procedure to fire one up from cold, and of course some (mechanically responsible) thrashing! Plus I’ve always wondered what it looked like in the nose ends.

Lawrie, a very nice model, thanks for sharing the video. As a " Yank" I quite like the sound of a Class 37 , a very powerful , purposeful sound, and I like the videos where they are doing a full " thrash."

@Iceni_Paul 3 года назад

Hi Lawrie, you say at the beginning that the horns are missing from the roof. No they’re not, in the split headcode box 37’s the horns were in the nose end behind the little round grilles.

@stevenbarker57 3 года назад

Yes, the class 37's with the 2 headcode boxes had their horns mounted in the nose, there should be 2 small round grills above the headcode boxes which is where the horns would be... Good locomotives though..

@sawyerawr5783 3 года назад

I've always regarded the Class 37 as the british Version of the american GP-7/GP-9...basically indestructible and still going strong despite being a "first generation," diesel that replaced steam. Ironically enough it was the GP-7/9 for me that got me into diesels...along with some help from its ALCo analogue the RS-3.

Hornby still sell the Lima version in their cheaper Railroad range of models with upgraded motor to allow it to operate on DCC better and you can get one DCC with sound fitted. Still a great looking locomotive for its age. If you want get the next level in detail class 37 you need to get either a Bachmann, ViTrains or coming soon the Accurascale versions and judging by what has currently come from Accurascale their version will look excellent.

@richardjellis9186 3 года назад

If it keeps slowing down at the same place, I'm sure you'll find that it's the track, not the loco. If it was stuttering once every time the wheels went round, then yeah, the loco needs looking at.

@alancarpenter2070 3 года назад

It is not unusual to see short trains with multiple locos up front, as Railtrack or whatever they are presently called, charge per train movement over the tracks so, if you had say 4 light locos to move, it would be cheaper to add them to an already scheduled short train, therefore having 5 locos on a short train.

@vikingsmb 6 месяцев назад

pulling test on the green 37 is not reasonable, reason is that the 37 has traction magnets in it which work on steel track, however you are using nickel silver track.

@mickd6942 Год назад

Bought a lima 37 years ago it was the first new loco I'd ever bought and it was dire , the wheels weren't square on the axles and it was the worst quality I've ever had , even my old lima shunters from cheap sets were far better made and ran better .
