Is the BR Class 37 powered by Gruyere Cheese?

Hi All, Love the game, just wanted to see if anyone else thinks the class 37 makes a sound when happy that it likes gruyere cheese! The cab crew look like they have just stepped off the Dire Straits set of 'money for nothing'. But I am certain in between the two cabs there is a dozen guys shovelling gruyere cheese into a boiler somewhere!
I had the fortune of being shown around the cab of a 37 by my Uncle John when I was a lad, he let me drive it 30 foot or so, In the sidings of York station back in the late 60's. Great memories.
Best Wishes Zapata935.
 
Why Gruyere cheese? Why not Cheddar or Jarlesburg or even Blue Stilton?

This has shades of Monty Python's 'The Cheese Shop' sketch!
 
Because it does'nt sound the same!

Power up or power down it wants gruyere! nothing else will do. How smart of you to spot a python fan, of the original I would like to add!

Hmmm! It's interesting to know how some people interpret sounds!

BTW, it's not that sort of shop!
 
Messages in your head!

Tinnitus or other hearing dysfunctions, the fact is a class 37 is powered by Gruyere cheese! You can clearly see the cab crew passing cheese and pickle sandwiches between each other, followed by a satisfied grin on each others faces! What more do I have to prove to you non-believers!

Sorry I am not a fan of Gruyere cheese!

I do however love Cheshire Cheese, very crumbly though, so the cab crew would be on the floor picking the bits up, more than looking out the window, if they were eating Cheshire Cheese.
