37901 climbing Berwyn bank

So a light load then!

Dont really know what the fuss is all about with this video. There was no 'Full Thrash' as you call it. She took the very small train with ease & without any undue use of normal power. These rebuilt 37s did far, far more than this in normal traffic use EVERY day. I would see & hear them leaving Margam, passing Margam, & attacking Stormy Bank with heavy steel trains on a daily basis.

@arieskeith1447 The loco was hauling 7 fully loaded Mk1s, a 4 wheel van and a dead Pannier tank and is shown climbing a 1 in 80 gradient from a 5mph PSR on the Dee Bridge. This climb is sustained for two miles, including through a lengthy single bore tunnel. OK, it ain't a Llanwern steel train on Stormy Bank, but this is about as good as you'll get in Pres!

GOOD CALL!! Great vid.

Hmm. Not really that funny for us though tbh - we lost quite a bit of cash when she left - we were still recouping funds used for the overhaul. Hope she's being taken good care of!
