I know some people actually dislike this, but I agree it adds a another usage for the wipers so it's a +1 from me.
The AP Class 37 has it too. Add to that thrashing it on clag factor 10... Oh dear this shouldn't be allowed..
Not as good as this (no flames) but still good and more than enough to annoy the heck out of Greta Thunburg
“Class 37 thrash” seems to be a genre all unto itself! If my AP 37 doesn’t do that, I want my money back
The best 37 thrash ever, has to be the film made about the 37s that were sent over to France.. where they were abused like at no other time in their lives. Literally being wheelspun up gradients until they stopped... I'll see if I can find it... It was called French Thunder I think.
BTW... interesting article on British Traction in Europe here. https://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/5928/from-the-archive-brits-abroad/
