TE, would you rather buy a Class 37 as a project or go for the Rolls-Royce?
Tough one! But I'd like to say both 😉 Because if I can make the showbiz and all round entertainer a reality I can be like Pete Waterman with collection of real trains.
But for now I'd like Rolls Royce Silver Spirit I keep my eye on them everyday on Ebay I'm still looking for someone with early one so I can do Video on channel before I actually buy one in the future hopefully fuelled my me Thomas Edward hard work!.
@@ThomasEdward Excellent answer, TE 👍🏻
I'd go with rolls just to sell it and buy a fleet of citroen 2cv, reliants and invacars
Just had this recommended, I like his enthusiasm, seems a right nice fella. Friendly and all very pleasant to watch.
Well thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it and enjoyed Thomas Edward Showbiz what you see is exactly what you get in person. Well if you haven't started Following already I'd recommend it because I have videos every Monday at 8PM and lots of quality content already on the Channel just like this to watch. Regards Thomas
37423 spirit of the lakes always my favourite. Loved these rigs when they were doing the cumbrian coast timetable.
Great video as always Mr H.
Yeah! When they were on West coast of Cumbria I had couple good bits of thrash behind them!
Be good to see it fitted with ETCS in the future.
Brilliant!! I'm with you, hope it does live on.
Yeah! We can live in hope for sure all Locomotives at one point in there life need to be saved because they are the history of Britain.
Yeah me too
@@ThomasEdward Yeah history is so important, I get annoyed when people ignore it these days.
Shame to see it unused. Used to love seeing these at liverpool docks in the 80's, the noise and smell being up close to one, fantastic things.
One day someone will put money into it I imagine they just cost so much to refurbish though.
I bet the sound around docks was insanely good?
@@ThomasEdward it was great, my dad worked on the docks & would take me down to see them. My grandparents lived in a block of flats very close to the docks, standing on her veranda at night overlooking the docks you could see & hear the big deltics thrashing out of the docks & into the tunnel under derby road.
That's right it's my favourite freight diesel train
Classic 37 thrashing Thomas ... i ve got some pics of this engine at preston station early 2000.s could always this engine when it was approaching as its centre cab window had been replaced ...very distinctive ... Keep up the great work ...Thomas ...regards ..Frank & Lee...Lanky Walks.....
Knew it!! You were secret basher underneath 😉 Bet looked good all painted up in 2000 didn't it?
Thomas my friend, another great video, cheers mate.
Thank you very much really appreciate the support! I can't begin tell you what's coming up soon so many good videos to come!
Top video again, glad I dropped in! Keep up the great channel 👍👍👍
Thank you!! Well keep that bell pressed "DING" are there be so much more coming your way soon!!
Cool vid bro, that looks like a mighty beast!
Thank you Kim 😊 Yes it is Beast indeed very big one too!
A beast in a field, love it TE
Can't beat hunting wild beast Class 37
Takes me back to my school days, nice footage Sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
I was more familiar with the class 40's on the North Wales Coast main line years ago and I only saw 37's on school trips to Cardiff. I've really got to like the 37's and love the sound from these old tractors. Amazing why they withdrew the 40's years ago and the 37's have lasted so long.
Class 40's my favourite engine 40s were very good on all lines with how it bread it's weight across all bogies oways interesting conversations why class 37s lasted like they have over all others.
@@ThomasEdward If I was given the choice to drive a diesel then it would definitely be a 37.👍
@@nedex4023 underpowered, yep you could say that!
Great video Thomas in Darlington County Durham where I live we have a class 37 the last one to be built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns in Darlington
Would be a great restoration job to see this old veteran up and running again.
I've seen photos of her plighing up and down the GCR in Leicestershire back in the early 1960s if I'm not mistaken.
Just sad that she has to sit there unused and rotting away. 😥
It’s rare to see a 37 still with its nose doors intact. Most of them were welded over or completely removed. I remember 042 at thornaby for a while. Your car is cool as well is it an MG zr.
I love them with split box such good look on 37 just reminds me of 40 so much!
Fascinating you say thornaby Because you know shed number was "TE" (1973-2009)
Yeah! That's who we call Noel the MG ZR in this Video he's specially been 160 engine he got rescued jan 2021 cheapest 160 in the country at that time. There's whole TH-cam series on him and I've got mini sleet of 3 ZR's so you get everything on this channel railway's/MG's
I noticed the buffers had been changed from round to oval sometime in it's life.
Yeah a lovely example of this car.
Yeah the doors were welded over so that modern safety systems could be installed.
Sheer class TE - Thanks for Posting online:
No worries Steve glad keep you entertained and learning with TE 😉
Exellent video Warcop used to use ranges for gpmg live firing and explosives training ... now ex rail beasts slowly fading away hope they fix the old-timer good video TE ,Neil
No way really!? Interesting place Warcop/landscape so many videos to be had in that area on the TE channel.
@@ThomasEdward hi Thomas thanks ... yes i fired ball shot and tracer rounds at Warcop and ....explosives but until later i found out about .... abandoned trains ,And as a brummie by birth canals..... 100 miles left ........ 60 miles gone but not forgotten i remember as a kid a few now ....... rip buried canals
Good video, thank you.
Glad you liked it! what was your favourite bit?
Another great video TE. Cant beat a tractor.
Tractors rule!! Specially doubles headed action when get experience two tractors on full chat it's totally awesome!!
@@ThomasEdward as a coincidence I was on the M62 this aft and spotted A pair of tractors heading for Bury.
A Grey one and an immaculate green one. Sadly too far away to get the numbers. Worth a trip yo see them at Bury.
Class 37's were a main stay, up here in south west Scotland. They were often used for hauling iron ore from Hunterston, through to Ravenscraig Steel Mill in Motherwell. They were also used for hauling HAA coal wagons, often 46-48 wagons at a time!
Class 37's in Scotland were some of highlights of there working career think close 2nd is peak district in late 80s/90s pulling big ICI wagon's.
@@ThomasEdward got to Morecambe okay. There should be a blue plaque, to say TE was here! LOL
@@MM0IMC I’m not that famous yet don’t think but if go in wolfwood Charity shop across from spoons the guy who normally stands on door is big TE fan he was first guy to say “love your videos” this summer. There is TE family names in walkways going up to Eric Morecambe statue. So there’s lots of TE stuff around just looking in right places.
@@ThomasEdward I've been the Infamous TE tour. I'll post some videos on my TH-cam channel shortly.
@@ThomasEdward I was in there yesterday with a pal. We went into Wetherspoon for a coffee and it was raining when we came out.
By the look of that. It's gonna need a hell of a lot to restore it be nice as/when and if it does get done. Very nice.
I'm sure the cash will come and volunteers will get it up and running I've seen lot worst engines get rescued.
@@ThomasEdward it will be great to hear that EE growling again.
If anyone wants to form a group, buy it and restore it, I want in. I could possibly buy it, but at my time of life, with my failing health, I could not do much of the work. But they are my favourite class, I love old machines, but my health is poor.
That would be good!
There is ment be work getting done on but don’t know full story.
My cameraman uses to drive them at peak Forrest in late 1980s
Norman wisdom with loco knowledge
That's good way of putting it I like that! That's what trying to do putting showbiz with railways when filming.
Excellent! My fav engine.
Really??
Do you like all the class or have got one engine who's the favourite?
like my favourite is Class 37688 "Great Rocks"
@@ThomasEdward it’s the class 37. Until recently I use to love watching one pass through were I live.
Excellent video!
Thank you!!
Been there, seen that, took the photo's! Parked my (LMS mixed traffic liveried (with Derby shed code)) black 500/Suzuki GS500e just to the right of that wire mesh gate. :-)
Bet that's absolute awesome photo 😊 you'll have to show us that!?
@@ThomasEdward If I can dig it out of the archives.
Good that
enjoyed that Thomas keep up the good work
Thank you Colin was lovely to have you in live chat too!
@@ThomasEdward look forward to the next live one Thomas
Nice video 👍👍👍😃😃.I've subscribers to your TH-cam channel 😃
Welcome onboard the Thomas Edward Channel there's loads videos in my back catalogue and so much more to come for you to enjoy. just be aware TE here like all history and cars and showbiz!! Not every video is Railway themed.
Hi Tom, lovely collection would have loved to seen my footage on it though.
Unfortunately time you gave me permission to use your footage the video was edited and on patreon I don’t mess about getting videos ready I like quick turn around etc
Would of been nice get your footage on it but maybe next time hey?
Btw love your channel it’s spot on!
Brilliant TE!
Did ya like that?
@@ThomasEdward Excellent mate
I would like to save that beast, yet i'd rather build a 50 from scratch, it would still be cool to have a mess about.
Looking forward TE ,Neil
Me too actually! I was going back to my routes doing this video it’s done on same level with how we filmed it of when I did my Tebay viral video.
Let’s hope that it is preserverd
Has it been saved?
Look up "Doug starting the engine" on youtube. :-)
I'll have to do that sounds ultimate thrash to me 😉
any chance i could have it in my garden 😅
Question is Would it fit!?
😂
I wonder if he'd sell it.
Why have got room for it? 😂
@@ThomasEdward oh it'd fit, may have to make a spur of track from the rail line to get it in though haha.
Hi TE good stuff mate, is this still in the field or has it been done up yet?? Cheers 🥂
I haven’t been up for awhile but I guess probably still roughly in same spot there’s oways talk on something happening but you find that a lot in perverse railways some times it’s true sometimes it’s just talk.
How many yards would one of these do to the gallon ?😀
Probably cost you fortune just have it on tick over 😂😂
About a barrel every 30 miles
There’s a half and half end 37 on the Worth Valley Railway you need to check out TE
As I reply you now Robert there's video suggested at the side of my video of KWVR mix fright with the class 37 your on about.
Wasnt this loco plundered by cable thieves ??
Needs saving
Totally agree with you!!!
What's happened to this class 37
From what I heard it's getting done up slowly but that's world on streets I don't know full story.
"Wild tractor"
You can't beat a wild Tractor though
