Introduction |
When the decision was initally made to add Video files to 'English Electric Growl' a couple of companies were contacted and asked to make a contribution. Steve Marshall, from Globe Video Films, was the first to respond my request and in the following weeks contributed samples of all the Class 37 sub-classes that were operating at the time. |

Glory of the Class 37s 'Glory of the Class 37s' is an extended programme issued as a follow up to the hugely successful 'Reflections of the Class 37s'. |

Reflections of the Class 37s This is the fourth and possibly most remarkable in the series of Class 37 programmes. Material spans the years 1987 to 2000 and features many classic liveries including BR blue, large logo blue, red stripe railfreight as well as more up to date paint schemes. Following on where Eclipse of the Class 37s left off we see astonishing action from Southern France where the Class 37s are assisting with construction duties connected with the new high-speed TGV Link. This time we see them in action on the Southern steeply graded section where multiple type 3s tackle the infamous 1 in 30 gradient at Donzere. Definitely a head banging session! In the UK we see views from Cornwall to Caithness - literally, and view some of the most startling scenery in between. Railtours, rare passenger turns, heavy freights; they are all here in what is likely to be another best seller. Train details appear as captions and narrative has been deliberately omitted so that the truly distinctive sound of these locomotives is not compromised. Running time 68 mins approx |
