Built between 1960 and 1965 by English Electric at Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson / Hawthorn, a total of 309 Class 37s were produced as part of British Rail's early dieselisation programme.

Many locomotives continued in service into the 21st century, while others have been preserved and operate on heritage railways today.
