Many thanks for viewing . Nothing better than the class 37 hard at work

All day long 🇬🇧👍

Thanks for viewing . It will be nice to see if some of the new modern locos can still around in over 60 years.

Some off them are 61, they started production in 1960!

@@keynsham-trains most of our 60s that we only built around 30 years ago are already in storage and to the scrap.

They are!

Many thanks for viewing . The class 37 is still working strong almost 60 years old .

Keynsham-Trains. Thanks for the info, I'll view the other videos soon but I've subscribed to your excellent channel - lots of great vids there! Does Keynsham refer to where you live (near Bristol?). Ken

Thanks for viewing

You're welcome !

Thanks for viewing . Yes that is right the class 37 is over 60 years old and still going strong now used on test trains & small freight workings and private railways .

@@keynsham-trains And thanks to a number of crossing incidents taking out class 156 and class 170, we have had them on some rural passenger routes in Norfolk and North Suffolk (Norwich-Lowestoft, Norwich - Gt Yarmouth). Although probably not for much longer. Seeing one of these go over the swing bridges or through the gates in Oulton Broad is a sight soon to be lost. And what a noise....

Just been reinstated to run on the Rhondda valley lines too 🖒

Thanks for viewing . That coach is a inspection coach used by Network rail it is called Caroline it can be pulled or pushed by a loco it takes workers on a tour of the railway network so they can have a good look and have some lunch on there too.

Thanks for viewing . The steam loco behind the 37 was 70013 Oliver Cromwell. It is now kept at York .

@@keynsham-trains thank you

Thanks

Thanks for viewing that train is a network rail test train from Derby the yellow coach at the front is a DBSO which has a drivers cab in the front so the 37 can push the train from the rear this cuts out the need for a 2nd loco on the other end of the train .

The class 37 is now almost 60 years old . They only have 1'750hp engine and the tractive effort they put down to rail is not as good as todays more powerful locos so they are used now on test trains for Network rail . Doing rail tours & charters and stcok moves ie electric units from one depot to another .

The yellow stock was departmental so the trailing loco could either have been in case of breakdown or to add weight to the train as a whole or even to just make it easier when going the other way. Locos at either end were often used on the line out of Inverness through Achnasheen and on the Edinburge/Glasgow push pulls on the '80's.

To avoid running the loco around at destinations plus most single track lines don't have loco release anymore as operated by mutiple units. Some are stock movements of coaches and 2 engines. The nuclear waste trains have to have two locos for insurance as having a nuclear train broken down awaiting a rescue loco would create bad press in UK. Especially at a busy station!

@@vincitveritas3872 if the train broke down it would make everyone go nuclear as they missed their trains.

@@cidertom5140 exactly

Thanks for viewing . Some of the 37s can be very smokey .

You got the wrong locomotive - these are growlers tractors slugs depending on if they are say a 37300 or 905+6 with mirrlees engines or Ruston.

Thanks for viewing . Nothing from Hereford in that video . If you want to see Hereford my latest video is on .

Thanks for viewing . Since i filmed the inter city livery 37 i have not seen it not sure if it is still in that livery .

Thanks for viewing . Sorry not sure about that .

Thanks for viewing . 2 locos are often used just in case one breaks down even more modern class 68s on the flask trains run in pairs .
