This was the way they looked when brand new. Still the best livery ( and numbering) they ever carried. I was twelve years old again watching this. Thank you.

[@philclarke3203]

Yes the best livery David, and definitely the best and easiest numbering.. Oh to be 12 again, about the same age as me? Not 12 now lol.

[@stestepney]

Very nice Phil good to see the 2x37s together cheers Steve ..

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Steve. They did look and sound good!

[@darrenhillman8396]

Nice catch, Phil.
Superb paint job. You could almost smell the new paint!
LSL really do look after their locos.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Darren. They certainly do.

[@TheDaf95xf]

WOW absolutely fantastic 😄 It reminds me of my early train spotting days in the 70s 🤣 Thanks for posting this video of two fine examples of class 37s 👍🏻

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Stevie, my pleasure. Same as me, early 70's was when my train spotting days began. 😊

[@trainbytrain]

great clip! thanks for your upload!

[@philclarke3203]

Many thanks, my pleasure

[@mirvids5036]

Particularly smoke free too, well almost. Looks like they're in great shape.
Great vid, thanks.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks, my pleasure.

In the mid 60s the Type 3 EE was as rare as hen's teeth on the WCML and Crewe. However one was guaranteed at Manchester Piccadilly, 1320hrs , arriving with the Harwich Boat train. The green was (it seems to me) a touch lighter then. The engine growl is unmistakable.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks for that, interesting. Yes you know when there's one about.

[@johnbrown9092]

Two beautiful locos.

[@PhilPage227]

They look beautiful together in the sun. Great flange squeal.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Philip. They certainly did! I still prefer the early green, or blue, liveries from BR days. It's how I remember them. There's a lot of squealing goes on around there as the tracks curve out of the station.

[@brianfoster7794]

Great video thanks looks like they have just come out of the paint shop, a good paint job

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Brian. Yes, and a great job done.

[@markwalker680]

Awesome. Nice to see reliable locos out and about.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Mark, at a good age too?

[@richardswiderski4985]

Lovely video Phil I saw the roofs of them at Beeston yesterday. 😣

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Rick.

[@tattoo1084]

Great filming there Phil from the cage viewpoint again, I'd take a 37 over any modern diesel anyday!👍👍👍

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks David. Yes, so would I.!

[@Crewecabking]

That’s a lot of clag excellent capture mate

[@philclarke3203]

[@Phil6219]

Just right for the job ying. 😊

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Keith. I was hoping for the one 37, but two!!

[@SuperDvsmith]

They looked fresh out the paint shop

[@philclarke3203]

They were.

[@hamshackleton]

Nice and shiny - fresh from the paint-shop?

[@philclarke3203]

As far as I know, yes.

[@MrDavil43]

Doesn't that livery look good on them? Way better than some of the current horrors splattered on otherwise majestic locomotives! Interesting video, thanks for posting.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks, my pleasure.

[@rorynicol3969]

Great video 👍👍 Rory

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Rory

[@rorynicol3969]

@@philclarke3203 your more than welcome to see 2 green 37s they looked fantastic 👍 Rory

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Bit of a catch, that! Well done.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Alan. Yes this pair, followed out 10 minutes later by Royal Scot! Well worth it.

[@SimonTog]

Nice and good sound :)

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Simon

[@poodle559]

Things of beauty, should be more of it.

[@philclarke3203]

I agree completely!

[@herrbohnen]

Not Euro 6 compliant by the looks

[@mjradar]

Don't like the green livery, large logo BR livery is the best on a class 37

[@class8866]

Smoky diesels, not good for the enviroment !
