Info needed on 37671

[Stormbringer]

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me please if 37671 had snowploughs fitted whilst in Railfreight triple grey? I can't find any pics of this.

Also in what period did it carry red nameplates?

 

TIA

Pete

I have nothing showing snow ploughs fitted (does not mean it didn't happen of course) but here are a few images that might assist.

 

Class 37/5 Diesel Locomotive number 37 671 named "Tre Pol and Pen" at Lostwithiel, having returned light engine from Carne Point to collect the CDAs left in the loop.  For some reason this locomotive carried metals branding for a short time with red backed nameplates.

Class 37/5 Diesel Locomotive number 37 671 named "Tre Pol and Pen" arrives at Lostwithiel with 6B03 1125 Fowey to Goonbarrow empties with black backed nameplates.

Class 37/5 Diesel Locomotive number 37 671 named "Tre Pol and Pen" passes Liskeard heading light engine to St Blazey.  It looks like the nameplates are black backed in this earlier view in September 1992.  Perhaps the nameplates were painted black when the Distribution decals were applied?
