37 Thunder

Sounds of class 37s.

From digital mini-disc original recordings

Recorded during 1998 to 2000.

Running time 74 minutes

37/4s thrashing away on NWT's Birmingham to Holyhead services heard at Birmingham, Stafford and Crewe. Plus the mighty Ruston racket of 37906 at the East Lancs railway and some other class 37 sub-groups.

Highlights include:

- On-train standing start in a tunnel behind 37401.

- Double-header blasts out of Stafford.

- 37906 ("Slug 6") on the East Lancs Beerex hauling 14 coaches + dead class 47 up the gradient (epic lineside recording).

Recorded and published by Ian Strange.
