martinC37LG Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hello Everyone. I posted this in the book section first, but probably should have put it here to hit our target audience? Apolgies (again) for the blatent cut and paste of our press release! Martin Ranson, Chairman - Class 37 Locomotive Group. In association with Kevin Derrick of Strathwood publications, the Class 37 Locomotive Group (Owners of 37003 at the Mid Norfolk Railway) have been toiling away for the last 12 months to arrive at a 96 page hardback pictorial book celebrating fifty sterling years service of the English Electric type Three's or British Rail Class 37's. The book is split into seven chapters showing some of the best images of Class 37 workings on various freight and passenger workings, that they were renowned and remembered for. This will bring back memories of the Licky bankers, as well as Triple-headed heavy freight to Ravenscraig and Llanwern. The green and BR blue eras, as well as regions that that were their common stomping grounds, the Eastern, Scotland and Wales. With the sub class of 37/4's which earned themselves a cult following, and our own loco 37003 getting in on the act. It finishes off showing the class in the years leading up to, and after the Millennium. All the profits from this project go directly towards the restoration of 37003. It is available for pre-order on our website http://c37lg.co.uk/s...=books&item=669 for £19.95 including P&P We expect to receive the books towards the end of October for immediate dispatch. Thanks for your interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
