I suggested those four as their actually owned by Colas (I assume) and not hired in like 025 and 418. I’m not sure who owns 37057. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Well the requirement for a banger blue centre box 37 got the better of me so this is the latest project based on the Vitrains offering with Shawplan windscreens. Need to source some better horns for the roof next. The 'Cardiff Rod Mill' (titter!)! Edited March 25, 2021 by 97406 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one and only “live” cab encounter with a 37 was 37430 Cwmbran, in the early 90’s. A random day at Bolton, watching the clubtrains after school, 37430 turns up. The driver suddenly opens the window and calls me over. Turns out to be an ELR driver I used to know, and tells me to jump in quick... so whilst the guard was busy with a disabled passenger I did just that, he was with a second man also known to me and off we went.. at Lostock so busy in conversation the driver nearly forgot to apply the brakes and dropped them hard... we stopped loco and first coach and half off the platform. funny thing is I still remember the conversation.. we were chatting about a Kearsley speed restriction, where he said in a 37 going over it at 25, it would bounce all over the place, but if you went over it at 60, you wouldn’t feel it, followed by an oh Sh...! i remember the guard casually walking right up to the platform ramp edge, standing straight, looking down at it, then up at us and shaking head sideways, smiling with his hands behind his back.. he knew exactly what was going on. I had an almost identical encounter one evening with a 142 at Blackrod too. I guess thats why cab rides became such a no-no in the 1990’s onwards. I jumped off at Preston, returned to Bolton and nearly got a penalty fare as I didn't have a ticket either ! That reminds me Fran.... 37430... good loco that, even nicer in model form ???
