Class 37 Photos...

Found in a box, an early effort from me circa 1992 when a very rare event occurred, the visit of a 37 - and a split box one at that - to the Coastway West, light engine.  37092 rolled in, paused for a couple of minutes and then headed east amid a cloud of clag!

 

Sorry about the quality, cheap film camera and appalling light!!

37295 and 37233 are in typical Bath Road condition, they had been regulars on the Tytherington - Wolverton stone working

and are seen passing through Oxford with ARC PGAs, 31304 had been on the Bicester MOD trip, 10/7/81.

At Gaer Junction 37232 has just received acceptance from A.D. Junction yard with a trip working composed

largely of spoil for  Maesglas Tip, the loco has only one buffer skirt, 19/5/82

 

cheers

These are the first photos I every took of class 37s.  They are taken straight from the slides with out any processing.  I've used my old film slide copier which gives a better picture than a slide scanner, but only does 2/3rds of the frame.

Whilst on holiday in the Yorkshire Dales earlier this month I managed to cop these at Hellifield on Monday 3rd June;

Two days later I did a walk from Ribblehead to Blea Moor Tunnel entrance and on the way back got them again:

They actually stopped for a while at the box to let a couple of passenger turns through which enabled me to get to the viaduct and get these;

When setting off from the box I must say the driver gave it some on the brief run up to the viaduct!

 

 

All these sitings were pure luck, I had no prior information, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time! If only I was as lucky with the lottery!
