I have a colleague at work ( I’m HGV driver ) hello if your reading Who owns a diesel electric loco just like this one, back in the 90’s British rail where selling off some old rolling stock & he bought one for just 25,000, scrap value. After transporting it via HGV to a private railway line, he & a group of experts rebuild it & now it’s back out working that he hires out. A company just offered him 4,000,000 for it. It’s great being an HGV driver because everyone thinks we’re losers but we’re not!! The turbo barely fits on a U.K. pallet, it’s massive & the pistons are the size of a basket ball all 16 of them. It weighs 108 tonnes

I worked on the Sulzer engines all through the1970s when I was working in Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness.I used to hear them running in the test bed next to the machine shop I was working in at the time.Some of these diesel locos are sometimes still used on the coastal line between Barrow and Carlisle.I remember going to see one of the first ones that had been built on display at Barrow station in the late 1950,s.Little did I know that I would be working on the same engine many years later.I know we made thousands of spare parts right up until 1981.

The fire breathing dragon emerges from its cave...... The 37 has such a distinctive sound there's no other engine you can hear and identify before you see it. These were the main engines that ran near my grandads house when I was a boy and I have had such an affection for them ever since.

Reminds me of the bus depot first thing on a winter’s morning in the 70s after the fleet had been started up, we had to walk through the fog to get to the workshop to clock in. Sometimes you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Someone phoned the fire brigade one morning, with all the smoke billowing out of the doors they thought the depot was on fire.

Wow. I work for a ~100 bus school district, we have diesel buses pre- and post- diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) requirement and we just started buying gasoline buses. This is my 3rd year working thru the Minnesota winter and I've definitely felt 'gassed' on those cold mornings but hardly any of it is visible. Blows me away how much emissions standards have done. Not to imply it was remotely acceptable to delay switching everything to a nuclear electric grid 60 years ago instead of building coal plants like it was going out of style...

We see these multi-ton machines run on rails which appear to be solid steel that won't bend or break BUT it was pretty stunning to see that after the fasteners and everything are removed & you lift the rail with a machine, the rail just waves about like a snake.

@@HarleyFurgesson It’s a Class 37 not a Deltic (Class 55). So a great big V12 instead.

@@HarleyFurgesson completely different engine design and configuration. Most of BR's diesel electric sets from the 60s thru to the 90s were all either V engined diesels with nothing special other than huge turbo. Most were either English Electric or Sulzer engines. The Napier Deltic was a quasi radial engine that was designed for WW2 naval gunships.

I used to like Class 37s, so that makes me "An-Ex-Tractor fan".
