Reminds me of the old days at Peak Forest sidings, trying to start a 37 and 56... freezing cold minus 15, deep snow, doors frozen shut! Lots of de-icer later managed to get in the cab, then sat there for 20 mins with frozen finger welded to the start button! Great days they were. 😁

I love it how one cylinder starts firing and then the others start slowly joining in, one after the other 😂

That's a nice start, especially considering the temperature, she's in good nick.

Poetry in motion like a great band playing

I never tire of seeing these fantastic 37s

I have to agree with other commentors, this was a surprisingly good cold start for a diesel!

[jrmckenzie]

Tremendous video! Would love to see another, start up plus a a good 20 mins or more idling and moving off would make a proper movie!

[H.EL-Othemany]

That's one of my favorites locos . I've never seen it up close though.. probably never will

[nigelterry]

Lovely! A typically grumpy cold start from an EE. Leave her to warm up, the smoke will clear....

listening to this i can almost hear the 37 protesting at being made to wake up.

In Germany Diesel Locos had a heating system for the coolant to prevent this sorta hard cold start didn't UK Locos have that ?

[Schmalfonzo]

Would love to see more of these cold starts

[petertate]

Yahoo !! These and the 55s are my favourite.

[brentleajunction]

Don't know what it is but I love the class 37s they sound awesome great video

[johnambrose]

That's what I feel like in the morning

[karlheinz_ma]

Grazy cold start of the engine. It seems linke a cold start of the diesel without a warm up.

Wish they would put this sound card on the model trains!

[TheMexicanLegion]

0:04 sounds like music from a horror movie, 0:18 sounds like its saying no no no no no or oh god or please help

We used to have this types of locomotives in sweden, 70 years ago, but not anymore

About how much does the engine weigh, just broadly 3 or 30t? Hard to find information on weights of the actual engine of locomotives
