i guess you were like floating on a cloud :-D
-
how old d'you have to be to drive it?
-
driver for a fiver awsome, only problem is they never seem to let anyone thrash the 37 up on these driver courses
-
@EWS60500 NICE!! give some good toneage to spotters and you'll be a legend on Youtube =D!!
-
@matthew376 Trainz is all wrong anyway,especially the sound. Railworks really gives you a feel of really driving one. No power felt in you though =P
-
Wow i've driven one of those on Trainz but they put the brakes the wrong way round on there!
-
Wow, that looks totally cool... ;)
-
Nice, cant wait till i get driving on the Main line

Hi Kev, Yeap this was my first go at driving a 37. It's a shame my m8 did'nt film the second and third goes. The Last trip was the best, Full throttle for 5 secs...HELLFIRE through the passing loop and feeling all that power.. Beats Rail Simulator..lol

Musta been fun to drive the old big tractor! I bet it must of been a challenge to know the controls and mechanisms!

Hi Ryan, The hardest part is doing it all in the right order. We had three goes each. The last go I opened the throttle to Maxium. Hellfire!!!!!!! just for 5 secs. The sound was Heaven!!!!!!!
