yorkie_pudd Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi folks, As an admirer of the 37`s and researching how they have changed over the years in detail etc. The one question that came too mind was how many are left ? By this I mean in full service / stabled or preservation as there are plenty of sites that gave details of loco work history or loco scrap dates etc. The only thing I don't seem to find s a comprehensive survivors list. so does anyone have a current 37 list they like to share or work in the rail system can provide this info ? website cross matching examples throws up madness as in site A - loco A is at this place but other site says scrapped or sent abroad etc. site B- says loco B stored for scrapping in 2002 but other site says loco B in 2001 transferred from company x to company y and still out there working. It does your pigging head in so grateful to anyone how can provide a live list. Cheers Ken 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Looks like 35 are registered for use on NR: 37038/69/100/70/8/94/217/8/59, 37402/5/9/19/23/5, 37516/8, 37601-12, 37667/76/82/5/8, 37706. 37100/70/8/217 are masquerading as 97301-4. I reckon a total of 72 others are in various status of preserved/ stored/ neglected/ under restoration etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the response CHARD and useful it is, yes all this updating / renumbering don't help either. I guess by the time I do a full list me and 37`s will all be gone ha ha. At least that's a few numbers to start with anyway now Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Okay, to the best of my knowledge here's the remainder: 37003/23/5/9/32/7/42/57/9/75/97/9, 37108/9/16/42/6/52/65/75/88/90/8, 37207/14-6/9/27/40/8/50/4/5/61/3/4/75/94, 37308/40/50/72, 37401/3/7/13/8/21/2/4, 37503/10/7/21, 37668-70/4/9/96, 37703/10/2/4/6/8, 37800/84, 37901/5/6. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not many out of the 300 or so built, are there less 47s? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not many out of the 300 or so built, are there less 47s? Yes, there are fewer 47s surviving. Something like 29 main line registered from a total of 70. I was intrigued earlier so I did the maths, but I made only a mental note! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie_pudd Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks to everyone for the comments and help given so far. Not many out of the 300 or so built, are there less 47s? Hi I found this site http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_data_431.php In site quote total 512 class 47`s built and current fleet data as, OPERATIONAL ~ 28 REBUILT AS CLASS 57 ~ 33 PRESERVED ~ 33 STORED ~ 21 SCRAPPED ~ 397 Hope this helps you out. Anyway back on Class 37`s talking to a friend the other day and BINGO the ole it`s right under your nose, is the local rail depot of Neville Hill. So I paid a visit expecting the brush off, but excellent people there are willing to send me a complete list of all 309 class 37` built with their pre top and all top number details etc. I got a first list batch sent today - example, D6701 - 37001 - 37707 - scrapped 2011 D6702 - 37002 - 37351 - scrapped 2007 D6703 - 37003 - 37360 - 37003 - main line tours 2013 so would a full list interest folk either listed on here of placed as a PDF file to download. I don't mind doing this and will require further investigation of certain loco history as example it shows D6707 - 37007 - 37596 - 37604 - stored 1996/unknown, so I would need to research if scrapped of preserved etc. All thoughts and comments are gladly received. Cheers. Edited January 24, 2014 by yorkie_pudd 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

45059 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I too would say that me first port of call would be the WNXX site, but for those who like their information in physical paper form I would point you in the direction of Colin J Marsden's The complete UK Modern Traction Locomotive Directory (no association etc.) ISBN978-0-9557887-8-9 which although first published in 2011 does exactly what it says on the cover, listing every diesel and electric loco and their fates. In many ways similar to Rodger Harris' previous volumes covering UK traction, but without the allocations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIntercityhst Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) In terms of 37s still on the mainline, then these are the fleet lists (to my knowledge anyway!) DRS: 37038, 37059, 37069, 37194, 37218, 37259 37401, 37402, 37405, 37409,37419, 37422, 37423, 37425 37667, 37682, 37688 37601, 37602 ,37603, 37604, 37605, 37606, 37607, 37608, 37609, 37610, 37611, 37612 37703, 37713, 37716, 37718 DRS still own a lot of locos now stripped for spares, such as 261, 510 and a couple of others. 37703 is to be swapped with 37401 as 703 had a shunting accident at Daventry and has bent frames. Network Rail: 97301, 97302, 97303, 97304 WCRC: 37516, 37518 37669, 37676, 37685 37706, 37712 Edited August 12, 2014 by TheIntercityhst 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Just to follow on from the above, 37197 is scrapped, the 37/7s they have are 37703,14,16,18. 37419 is missing from the operational list. Edited August 12, 2014 by 37114 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Accord Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought 37401 had been preserved at the BKR - it's now in Large Logo blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIntercityhst Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought 37401 had been preserved at the BKR - it's now in Large Logo blue. 401 is coming back to the mainline again, as a direct swap for 37703. as 703 has the bent frames she will go to Bo'ness and 401 will go to DRS. As DRS need 37/4s with ETH, 401 will be better for them for use on charters etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi all, What about the Colas ones and the Europhoenix Tractor? Or am I just dreaming!! Regards Vin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIntercityhst Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 ah yes, forgot about those! 37884 is owned by Europheonix and is going on to be used abroad. Colas own about 3 or so? i know that they own 37219 and 37421, but they are the only ones i can remember! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
