I remember this and other similar locomotives as new when diesel was replacing steam at a rapid rate. Great to see this wonderful locomotive restored and back in use. Well done to everyone involved.

Brings back memory's of many years working on these at Immingham TMD , your going into detail on these we hardly ever pulled camshafts just replaced individual split cams and can never recall replacing camshaft chain , they always adjusted ok (bloody awkward though) Use to get loads of split exhaust bellows , internal coolant leaks (bottom liner seals) and the occasional piston disasters then conrod batters its way through liner . Watch the free end drive if its got rad fan clutch fitted as that clutch really hammers it when it cuts in (best to disable it ,leave switched in )

I had the pleasure of seeing the new locos leaving Doncaster Plant, after acceptance inspections at Doncaster they were ferried to the WR two at a time, usually the movement was on a Monday evening, the EE3s were attractive locomotives, BR gloss green, yellow and red Timken axleboxes with brightwork around headcode boxes and cab handrails, the painters were expert, the finish was faultless, the best livery for a 37.

Love this. Seeing the cam shafts ,valve rockers and timing chains on that big English electric v12 brings back memories.

Heading is wrong. It’s actually D6948. Travelled behind it at the WSR diesel gala in 2019. Fantastic locomotive. A credit to everyone involved in the restoration and preservation.

This was built half a mile from where I'm sitting, Vulcan Foundry Newton-le-Willows. There's no trace of the Vulcan left, it's now a large housing estate

Shouldn’t that be D6948 ?? No only playing, great job on a classic Canton engine, an awesome beast….looking forward to seeing and travelling behind her in the near future…. Top job 👍👍👍😎

originally an eastfield depot loco in north Glasgow with her west highland terrier on the side

Is there any possibility of dialogue to go with the pictures , I’m a little bit mechanical minded but don’t recognise all the parts shown , this is a very interesting video and you have a great team there .

Whats trough the little door in the front- like to go in the train nose?.

Where is part 2 and are you going to correct the loco number on the clip id?

great video and good luck with this loco, i assume the engine oil and filters will be replaced before start up,can you still get parts for the EE engine ?

Is it me or there's no part 2 on KZfaq? If there is, can anyone give the link please?

Who owns 37248?

😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

Hello There Again it is Mr Cannadine T.
