The Legacy of the Class 37s
The Class 37s have proved to be one of the most versatile and reliable classes that were set to emerge from BR's decision to mass dieselise its locomotive fleet. This programme looks at the Class 37's development from its conception until its final days. We explore the class at work from the Highlands of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall, and we explore the rich and diverse range of liveries that the class has worn from BR Green to Rail Blue, to Large Logo, Railfreight and modern EWS and DRS liveries. In the course of this DVD we explore both 37/0, 37/4 and 37/5 variants, as well as the re-engined Mirlees and Ruston class 37/9s. Also included is extremely rare cab footage inside 37142 as she trundles down the former China Clay branch from Bodmin General to Boscarne Junction. As the throaty exhaust of an English Electric 12 cylinder unit exudes from these Type 3s, this is a DVD that enthusiasts will want to savour again and again! A class that is rapidly approaching its 50th year and whose popularity shows no sign of abating! RUNNING TIME: 87 mins.
