Class 37 Video
In case anyone thought I was exaggerating a little in my lyrical waxing over the Class 37's on the short set yesterday, the entirely useful Tim Miller was at Haddiscoe Station today to get a video of these animals in action. I heard them leave Lowestoft, Tim, and even from a bus it was spine tingling! Great video buddy.

Mind you, if you think the 37s are impressive (as they are), what about the old Class 40s, their bigger and more powerful brothers? 8 foot longer, 16 cylinders instead of 12 ... they were the mainstay of the West Coast main line before the electrics came in, and survived on freight work for many years.
