Ooooh yes chief she curtainly got the job done ;-) got hours and hours of footage of her working hard up here not uploaded yet.... we've got Class 20's EE here at the moment but reckon soon enough a 37 will be back again doing the honours and i'll be camped out up Peak Forest

Laughs in Union Pacific Big Boy and Challenger

Definitely agree ❤

Which ones? A 66 has almost twice the tractive effort; a 70 has even more. Class 68s have a slightly higher tractive effort than a 37. I guess a 67 might struggle but they weren't designed for heavy freight work. Sorry to get in the way of your attempt at a "modern stuff is rubbish" play.

Nope 37's rule ;-)

No, I agree 👍🏼

For all they can’t pull much compared to the modern stuff, the 37 makes the best noise.

Never has been a better sound and never will be.

No, definitely not.

Cheers geeza

Cheers buddy

Indeed probably the only place you can witness a 37 slipping and thrashing constantly nowadays

@@gavin37688 after watching your video I think I'll make a trip myself to see. Is the noise as impressive in person?

@@markmaw8 hello buddy and it’s immense I’ve still got footage to upload of her slipping to a stand and jus constantly thrashing for like 15 minutes but all in good time 🤘🏻🤗 an she’s currently away having bogie attention at Eastleigh chief but if she comes back to Forest I’ll be straight up there 😉 so keep an eye on my channel for her buddy

@@gavin37688 fantastic. I've just recently discovered the beauty of old diesel locos and actually started making an n gauge model railway 😁

@@markmaw8 excellent news I love N Gauge! Can fit so much in unlike OO or especially the popular O Gauge now which I’m still not understanding 🤦🏻‍♂️ but if you ever want out weathering or re numbering jus let me know as I do it for a living have done for over 20 years now 😀

Thanks matey an hopefully not shes here long term this time.... only issue is shes not done much tbh since been here always parked up in the shunt siding! Thou we picked a good day to go as we know atleast the staff that day are happy using her and not the ruddy shed thing up there for loading also

Hey buddy why not come up with me this summer :)

Cheers buddy :)

"Grossly underpowered" but somehow managed complete the job. 🤔 Great reasoning there.

40's are hellfire :)

Its pushing back a fully loaded lime train up hill, Class 37's are one the loudest built british loco's and don't or didn't do much of there work quietly

@@gavin37688What I mean is that it's not the constant sound we get with our GE's; more like a rev .. rev... rev... sort of sound. I've noticed they also sound similar when they notch up: almost in spurts, which ours (S Africa) don'e seem to do.

​@@phillipcollins9290Because it's slipping the power keeps being cut by slide detection.

Yes

I thought that the 37s are based at Kingmoor.

Agreed it would be better if the brakes weren't binding.

Correct

I'd argue that they're slightly more handsome in large logo blue, but I respect your opinion -- it's not crazy. 🤣

That would definately be interesting up there don’t know if it would like loaded an half loaded pushbacks on wet rail uphill thou… but yeh love a good Hoover me

They would look shit....like carlsberg nasty stuff!! 😂😂

This isn't a Deltic

Wrong !,

Tut tut

Baby Deltic. Only one engine at 1100 hp

@@jonathoncary37’s are not Baby Deltics. They were class 23’s with one Deltic power unit . A class 37 is a simple V12 engine of 1750hp when built. 👍🏻

Ohwell nevermind 👍🏻

what the hell are you talking about; video is on location and it is watchable

@@TheFunkylogic It’s glitchy and unstable, where did I say it wasn’t on location? I didn’t … pipe down.

Firstly i don't care... do i need to share the vids on here with everyone no" but i do... secondly lol its "NOT" DRS drivers on them here so try again.

Nonce

What a stupid comment, nothing wrong with the camera whatsoever, a class 37 under load on a slippery gradient is bound to slip and thrash and lastly why would DRS see this and sack the driver? Considering it’s on hire to another company to shunt and it’s shunting as per it’s contracted duty I bet they’ve seen it and are impressed an old Loco is putting modern image locos to shame

I bet your fun at parties - NOT. What a miserable asshole you are.

Nothing wrong with the video quality, which is about the best you can expect on a grey, drizzly day.
