Welcome to English Electric Growl!

English Electric Growl is currently OFFline

This site can be traced back to it's humble beginnings on a 'tied' server in 1998/1999. In those early days, the site was very basic and held basic information about the Class 37's and 'Foreign' locomotives that were also fitted with the 12CSVT diesel engine. As the site evolved, more information and news was added concerning the classes of locomotives and the scope of the site changed to include 12CSV diesel engines in Marine and Industrial applications, it was around this time that the current web address came into being.

You may be wondering how the name for the site came about? It can be broken down into two parts, "English Electric" was the company that initially built the locomotives and the 12CSVT diesel engines that they were fitted with, although the company name did change in latter years. The "Growl" derives from the sound that is made by the engine in locomotives that are working hard.
