- This was Type 3 Class 37 CoCo locomotive, British Railways No.37025 (D6725) first ever start up in preservation at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway then followed by its first test run .
I remember that day when I was told by the class 37025 team you better get your camera ready Eck because we're going for a startup and a test run and later that evening Class 37025 team leader and driver Steven Ramage kindly invited me on board for the trip and man what an experience it was to.
Owned by the Scottish 37 Group. Working Order.
Built by English Electric, Vulcan Foundry, 1961. 1,750 BHP.
Named Inverness TMD
The locomotive was delivered new to Stratford depot, London, and was transferred to Glasgow Eastfield in 1981, Inverness in 1982, Eastfield in 1986, Inverness in 1992, Motherwell in 1994, and Bescot in 1995. It was sold for preservation in 2000. Full details of 37025's service history is available at the Class 37 Locomotive Group website, and details of activity at Bo'ness will be found at the SRPS Diesel Group website.
After a thorough overhaul, the locomotive returned to traffic on 29th September 2007, for the Bo'ness & Kinneil Autumn Diesel Gala.

Spent many hours working tractors, probably the most reliable and underrated locomotive BR ever owned and good to see one returned to service.
Thank you for comments
Awesome…everything on track 🚞
Good loco's but we were always getting split exhaust bellows and the were a pig to change also reblocking was an awful job on these , they were well and truly thrashed round our way , the exhausts use to glow cherry red triggering fire bell (ignored and paper jammed in )
How do you get a job working on these? Ive always wanted to but never found a way in, seems impossible to get into the rail industry and I have a good mechanical background, just nothing on trains
Brilliant video, shows the hardworking men and women behind the scenes who do an amazing job. 👍🏻
John thanks for your kind comments so take care
Grafters all, good to see a lady in the team 👍
Love the way you Smoked out the “Greenies”! 😂😂
Worked this loco as a second man, and driver lovely to see her back into service ,so pleased..😊
Love the sound these old 37 locomotives make 👍
I have to agree Derek 37's do make a great sound
Hard to beat!
Used to live in Garelochhead in the mid 80’s-early 90’s, on the hill just below the station, which was on the West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William, Oban and Mallaig. This was the soundtrack to my teens. Very evocative to hear it again!
I went on a school trip to the outdoor centre at the head of the Loch, back then it was mostly 27s, and you hear them up on the hill climbing to the station and then away up the hill to Whistlefield. They made a wonderful. racket
Wonderful to see such a noble but neglected machine get the love and attention it deserves.
Yes indeed thank you so much for your kind comments
It’s even got period correct telegraph poles with old cross arms beautiful.
they're one of the best locomotives ever built and are longest surviving fleet in preservation and mainline use still as there's nothing around to replace these EE beasts! and they will be around for as long as they're needed! Nice to see this spit-box tractor getting a overhaul 🥰😍🤩
Until they get banned on grounds of pollution by The Greens
No it's not
One of the best locomotives ever built? No. The best locomotive built during the British rail modernisation plan? Possibly
Justin thanks for watching
Great video
Just love these 37s.
Well done everyone involved brilliant work.
Did my apprenticeship on these in the late 80's to early 90's at Immingham. Awesome machines.
Richard thanks for your comments
Was fitter at Immingham TMD from 1986 to 2022
Aye she's a beauty even in primer. Sounds sweet and crisp too, like a new yin. Top work i say, bloody good job.
Nice to see another loco being restored!
Yes indeed Rick thanks for your comment
What a lovely sound it makes.
Glad you enjoyed
Every now and then, in the dead of the night, an old “Growler” passes us on the way toward Bedford and beyond! You can’t mistake the noise it makes for anything else and it’s still my favourite.......❤️
Richard thank you for your comments
Great to see David and Jenny Smail. They did some great work. RIP David.
Thank you so much for your kind comments
And Ian Robertson, also sadly gone.
Can’t believe how loud it is, this used to scare me to death as a kid for some reason...Ghost train
Thanks for your comments
A good sanding and paint job and it looks new again.
One of my happiest memories is of my late father, my brother and myself getting a guided tour of Norwich depot in the late 70s whilst on holiday; we were lucky enough to ask if we could look around when the Eastern Region GM was there! So guided tour we were given and the highlight was being shown how you started up one of these, complete with a short run. Happy days indeed.
Thank you so much for your comments
Lovely sound , almost as Whistley as a 40.
What a beast. Bet it was a bit Draughty too,, lol.
Do love a split box 37 😁👍👍
Is that what drivers had to put up with for hundreds of miles or has he not put it in top gear yet!?
Ian thanks for your comments
That's how they're supposed to start up, not five minutes of cranking and spluttering. Great job.
Thank you Roger glad you enjoyed my video
Well done lads and lasses, Be proud ❤
Kev thanks for your comments
Its silly I know because its not human but I definitely get the feeling of joy from the locomotive when its let off the leash, such is the love of the rail, you either have it or you don't, those that dont will laugh. those that do will know what I mean.
I know wot u mean ! - totally agree. :)
Great comments thanks for watching
That was a great startup from cold presumably! Congratulations.
Great to see her first run in Preservation.
Alistair thank you for your comment
What a brilliant video, thanks for sharing, got the hairs standing up on my back hearing the power
Glad you enjoyed my video so take care
Great footage, love the old girls. Hi from NZ
Glad you enjoyed it
Great coverage of a great sight, thanks to you, and the work of the volunteers who brought this back to sounding like new again. Good to see you got a cab ride, you deserve it for the coverage you give this railway👍
Thank you so much
Amazing machines these old '37's the sound they produce is marvellous.
Thank you for your comments so take care
That was fun!
Fabulous video love this filmed at Bo'ness outside linlithgow,Great place for train buffs ❤Live outside Edinburgh only takes me an hour to get from East Calder to Haymarket then from there to linlithgow and get a bus to Bo'ness ,first time seeing Bo'ness was 1995 ❤Saw 37025 at the 2022 diesel Gala in May , Absolutely fantastic sound ❤️Great Job and Well done to the Volunteers that made it sound perfect ,Lovely sound of the Tractor ❤
Stephen thank you for enjoying my video and your kind comments
Brilliant absolutely brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember going to an open day at Colchester in the early 80s. Everyone wanted to sit in the cab of the class 58. No-one gave the 37 a glance. Funny how they are still here but the 58’s are long gone.
Nigel thanks so much for your comments
Good to see the old girl live.
Superb!
Good on all those involved! Proper job!
Thank you so much for your comments
21:25 Giving it the beans underneath the vote greens!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely bit of clag for the activists.
Fill their lungs with diesel fumes, going green is pure fantasy
Too right lol!
Wow, what a cool sound. Like and Sub 👍😃 - Greetings from Germany.
Thank you very much!
Interesting to see so many younger volunteers, and a fairly full final story of the work on the engine. It's a shame that there is not an equivalent video for the steam department. I do not know how long it has taken to get 370025 to this point. The same small Romney team has been working on 80105 since 2015. Perhaps a similar video of its completion in the new shed might be in order.
Glad your doing this ❤
Superb machines..no doubt about it.
Great video and sounds so good. Love the delicate adjustments at 2.07 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it John so take care
Yes each hammer is rated by how many taps per inch it takes😂
What a sweet start up! Well done to your engineers and volunteers for a great job.❤
Thanks for your comments Steve
The class 37 is the diesel version of the black 5 steam engine
fantastic, I had a little go driving 37025 at The NRM York for the Class 37's at 50 weekend,. Great fun,. Wish I could havae a proper go with it. Or another 37!
Mike thanks for your comments hope your wish comes true some day
Great job guys and girls 👍
Glad you enjoyed
fabulous
These locos sound so thumpy in real life, they have the same type of sub-bass as Bugatti W16s do. Such a lovely sound.
Such a lovely sound indeed thanks for watching😄👍🚆
Great footage ! 👍
Glad you enjoyed
hi there, great video, was this railwayline part of the british railways network at one time ? hope they paint the loco green.
Hardly any clag - what a surprise - obviously a well rebuilt engine...
Suddenly realised that I have simply no idea what form of transmission these beasts have! I feel a research binge coming on! Mechanical, electrical or hydraulic.
Electric 🙂
Diesel - electric. The gearbox for strait diesel would need to be as long as the loco to gear it up.
Robin thank you for watching so take care
@@CodfishCatfish Someone did attempt once - look up the Fell locomotive, 2000 hp diesel mechanical. It had 6 engines (two engines just to run the blowers).
A Tractor resus team at work, the size of that rocker box cover ,could be easily used to cook a Tesco chicken.
It would certainly give it a distinctive flavour.
Blimey I thought this loco was scrapped. I've driven this one
it operated last year at the 2022 Summer Diesel Gala,It's still going strong ❤️
I hope she's getting restored she will look great 👍
🤔
That "Hurrmp" Hurrmp" idle melody.. is that a Sulzer diesel??
If in doubt-give it a clout!
Misleading title but glad you rectified this in the description.
Why does it sound like a deltic from inside the cab??
What colour will the new livery be
Any 37/40/44-46 drivers out there?
I always thought that the windscreen shape of these early locos compared to later designs like the 47/50/52's etc gave restricted forward vision unless you were 6 foot plus or sat on a few cushions to bolster your height.
Am I mistaken or was there no issue with visibility?
Yes me drove it when it was based at Stratford tmd in 94-96
There was some seat height adjustment.
Great to see start up succesful on first attempt. Whistled like a 40 whixh you don't always hear...
Talking of not hearing things, 2 whistle boards were passed without a sound from the horns? Also, was authorisation obtained to pass that initial signal at Boness at Danger, despite being the only line movement...always a good idea to keep the rail safety practices and rules going in order to prevent errors when in service proper...other than that, well done on a good achievement restoring this loco...next stop, the paint shop...?
Take care,
Jon B.
Bernard thanks for watching and your comments
12CSVT magic.
It has poor visibility. Congratulations to those who have brought this classic machine back to life.
Nice MK 1 L M S break 💔
Salut my friend super Locomotive super video subscribe subscribe ...
How come the turbo is so winey on 025 compared to all the others? Great job the team did on her.
That's how they should sound, the rest are probably well worn
Thanks for your comments
Things of this era, particularly of UK manufacture, were built like brick chickenhouses.
So that engine just came from the factory.... lol
Imagine being their neighbours 😧
That woman’s cute.
Never thought before, is body work aluminium?
Yes quite thick gauge
Why's the driver keep hanging out the window & looking back......🤔
Big Clives Wet Dream
Was the ‘vote green’ an anti 37 protest?😂. Great vid.
I did notice the howl of turbos spooling up as they went past the 'vote green' poster...
I keep expecting Ringo Starr to pop up in Conductors uniform........I wonder why?
Ha! Ha! thanks for your comment
@jamielacourse7578
Loved the thrash unleashed on thae wee green activists lol!
Thank you for your comment
"First ever start up", are you sure ?. I find it hard to believe the locomotive has never been started since it was released from the English Electric Vulcan Foundry in August 1961.
Thanks for typing my rant !
Needlessly pedantic- pretty sure poster meant its first fire up since major repairs…
I guess it's what would be called "clickbait".
@Ben Glasgow it doesn't look like it's had any major repair, at least on the outside
As if!!🙄
Fantastic sound but what will Greta and Klaus Schwab say about this?
Who cares, the earth is 4.5 billion odd years old and you think a train is going to ruin it? Just shows how nutty these idiots are.
Good one! Let them scream all they want! As long as humanity's population keeps exploding, our methane emissions will never meet zero increase unless ur population drastically reduces!
Methane is 22 times worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, yet we are so hung up with CO2!
Who cares what that pair of virtue signalling narcissists say? They're living in cloud cuckoo land.
Ooopss my she is tou can't beat a clas 37
21:31, yeah I'm sure diesel rail enthusiasts are going to vote for a green government lol🤣
Passing under the bridge someone showing vote green they would ban this locomotive if they had their way
Oh! just a thought when I worked as a secondman in Sheffield a W sign meant whistle but I suppose when your just playing trains it doesn't matter.
It's all so shiny, locos, rolling stock... Sigh!
Sod the vote green lot give em smoke
Yes should be parked outside gretas home just to see the lefty snowflake cry
Vote green, give them some smog lol
Hey look libtards pollution at its grandest!!!?🤣🤣🤣....beautiful machine!!!..love the class 26 also in video!!..gorgeous..quick respray and it will be as good as new
Diesel locomotives sound EXTREMELY ugly; after the end of steam engines the next generation of locomotives should have been electric.
no.
