37717 banking on the Lickey Incline *THRASH*

Its July 2003, the Class 60's days were numbered on banking duties on the Lickey Incline as a dedicated fleet of modern Class 66's were about to take over. The memory of double headed Class 37's banking was a distant one. So when Class 37 No.37717 turned up (alone!!!) to bank the 6E20 steel coil everyone got a little bit excited! 14 minutes of thrash from Bromsgrove to Blackwell summit :o) (class 60 on front of coil)

I bet that 37 was shagged after that and scrapped! How did all those cranks get on that loco?

[abrook67]

37's not as healthy sounding as back in the day, in their later lifes they all sounded down on power and pumping air like this one, thudthudthudthudthudthudthudth­ud.

Excellent bit of thrash!!!!!!! The way it should be . 5Star Video

 No offence intended but this footage looks like a group of 37 cranks have nicked a tractor and then taken it for a joyride up the lickey. 5 stars.superb.
