Good footage, quite rare to catch one of those 18s on camera so it's good to see there's one at Basford Hall now

Funny that Clayton is having the last laugh 😁

Haha,yes! I always liked the original Claytons, but only saw them on the scrap lines ( apart from 8568). Hope these are more successful.

I know there are other locomotives in this world that might do the job more efficiently, but it would be a great shame to see DRS not using 37s!!

Yes, long live the 37s

DRS selling off the Class 37? I don’t like that much!! But there again, I think the Class 37’s my favourite diesel locomotive apart from the Deltic!!

Great video Phil but one question please.Is this location accessable by foot and is it far to walk? My old legs aren't up to it anymore and, inspired by this video,I would like to make a, maybe, a last visit to this special location in the next couple of weeks.Cheers from the Grumpy old Spotter.

Thanks Paul. Yes it is. Only about 100 yards from the road, but unfortunately can't park close to, so I park on the Station Pilot pub carpark about 1/4 mile away. Also the ground is a bit rough/ uneven to get to the mound.
