  • absolutely brilliant, thanks so much.

  • Thanks very much myrnaloysboy

    Take Care

  • shame we will probably never see this scene in Tondu again.

  • I take it the line is still in situe ? I think it is /was a bid for preservation for the 5 mile section Pontycymer-Tondu...

  • So much power in that engine! Love the noise! Sounds like a tiger growling.

  • I remember hearing the tractor for a good five minute's,, heading towards me as the crew accessed a couple of road crossings a mile or so up the line

see all

  • thanks for posting all of these videos

  • Nice camera work

  • ive met that man once aswel, back when i was about 10 years old though ;D, i got to signal a train from maesteg to cardiff central ;D, and a 37 came in on a diversion ;D, the good ol days eh? ;D

  • my bamby used to take me too see these tractors near here!

  • Brynmenyn - pontycymmer is being preserved

  • 37401 was at tondu yesterday on the cwm & go railtour which was  nice plus it was better as it got to tondu 15 minutes early

  • 1750 horsepower from an English Electric 12CSVT diesel power unit - Top speed 80mph limited, capable of about 100mph in its youthful prime about 1970.

  • great sound, reminds me of the days when I was about 5-7 (1996-8) in Aberdare, now all the coal and stone traffic is hauled by 66 power but a 60 has worked up the line in recent years, I personaly think that the 37 56 and 60's are the best locos around oh and the Hall and Castle class and not too forget the 56xx and Pannier tanks.Great vid

  • Beautyful Locomotive. I ask myself how much horse power its Diesel Engine have and the top speed.

  • OMG i live by here, and if i remember right they were emptying thhe mines in the Garw Valley and now the line is all sealed of with weeds and stuff, i know that signal man
