The Class37 (originally known as the English Electric Type 3) is one of the best known diesels on Britain’s railways. It was a common sight on freight trains around South Wales.

This book contains well composed photos, often showing the trains along with lineside and infrastructure detail.

Class 37s have been a prominent feature of the railway netwpork for 6 decades!

Informative annotations provide background detail to each locomotive featured. One for 'Growler' fans!

Sadly, there are few pictures from South Wales where the engines were in frequent and widespread use.

Seeing @ttfluk post about the upcoming TUA tanks from Revolution Trains I thought I would show you my Lego versions. They still need some tweaking but look good in ICI livery. They would have been used on the HCN flows between Scotland and the North East.

Indeed - whilst seeing the locomotives was always a good day, those locos look and sound soooo good on the Hartlepool to Sellafield runs

As I'm leaving the Atkins Derby office to head to my hotel, what should I see but four - FOUR - coupled crawling through the station. Derby nerds, you are spoiled. SPOILED I tell you
