Dmudriver Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi I recently started a topic about the white stripe on Eastfield 37s. During my research I came across these liveries on 37112. This was the earliest I found. Dated 1978: http://www.flickr.co...157626626430667 Standard blue livery and buffer beam shrouds. Then this one. Dated 1980: http://www.flickr.co...157626626430667 Still standard blue livery and the shrouds, but the headcode boxes have been plated over. This is the one that started this line of investigation, sent by a pal of mine: http://www.rmweb.co....illerhill-1jpg/ 1982, but it's still got the shrouds and has gained full yellow noses, but no large logo livery. And the number is on the bodyside behind the door. Then this one, taken in 1984: http://www.flickr.co...57626626430667/ This time, no shrouds, the noses have been repainted blue and it's gained a white stripe! In addition, the number is on the bodyside, at the no. 1 end and there is a motif on no. 2 end nose. Then this one, taken in 1985: http://www.flickr.co...57626626430667/ The white stripe has gone but the number is still on the bodyside at no. 1 end and the motif is a Highland Terrier. Someone once said to me that the BR blue livery was boring!! Not in Scotland, anyway!! Has anyone any other variations? Or has this topic been covered already somewhere? If so, could you please point me in the direction? Rod 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludger Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Rod, interesting shots that you have discovered. If you look carefully at photos one and two there is a slight difference in the cowlings around the buffers. On the first there appears to be a plate around the shank but on the second it has gone. I was told by the fitters at Cambois that this was done to facilitate repairs and replacement of buffers and eventually led to the whole thing being removed. Regards, Trev.

Dmudriver Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks, Trev. I hadn't noticed that!! So now I'll take the blamking plates off as I need them for my other 37 and put black blinds with a white dot in each headcode box. Perfect!

tractor_37260 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Another 80's odd ball livery was carried by IS 37 146 - half way between std BR Blue and L/L Blue. Blue body/roof , but with the yellow nose ends extended around to the cabs sides - as per L/L. However nose bonnet tops/window surrounds remained blue - not black as per usual L/L. It did however carry large logo no's in the normal place, black headcode boxes, small std sized arrows and Highland Rail Stags. Perhaps it was urgently required for traffic before the re-paint job was fully completed ? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I revived this thread on 37 liveries, because I wondered if anyone had any info on green 37s with the BR double arrow symbol? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF96 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Interesting to see the 'interim' headlight perched in various places. It looks like it was nicked off an old lorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew F Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know if large logo 37026 Shapfell had a white/grey roof at some point ? I ask as I'd started painting a model of this loco some time back and painted the roof white but I can't find or remember any evidence to support this on the net. I know Motherwell's LL 37's had black rooves but there were early exceptions such as 183. Cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When transferred to Motherwell AFAIK it still had a black roof in L/L when re-named Shapfell. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8390499320/in/photolist-dMrv8o-dQusEm-dMrvDS-c1ise7-696g1J-ctpjeA-c1ir8y-nm1i4g-cgo3Y5-c2s67W-6EebHN-qVM4iJ-c1ir2J-dMkWKp-dMm4pD-ctpjsS-jdkhed-cYqH7u-oGmp9q-jtzp3X-qvNA6x-7wFYWY-dMrvXG-bZQXrw-fFxj5W-e3CgG1-6E9YQa-r78kce-j34qni-7EF6on-8341Et-b29v5r-e3CgTb-g6FK39-83b9yK-dsZ7fg-iga1CT-dABCgU-9vF34y-jidjsC-p2adwK-7HAGPR-qMiB29-aMoZLi-asaHoo-8XWrcY-fGkHiU-91VYLZ-pTCvxx-r2vZxR https://www.flickr.com/photos/johndedman/8210097469/in/photolist-aGQA8g-nx8Ay7-nP9V2T-bwx1Ue-dvuTWD-5B86WB-nfU1Yf-kLBYML-nzwYWx-bWM55m-osHRbf-etKh5N-ab7Rhv-pzATFf-nKSUQF-fKDUJc-onp4yj-q2BYKy-9cdQtk-knUM2W-pVTeXM-osd3iT-a1pR6B-cVqNP7-iprNEV-bix158-foEqGv-h4pN6i-iKi3Sb-8TjR5S-3LZsd-fUSbdg-foEoze-foUCwU-nNw76x-fLCJp2-foYxTw-oaKjmY-knYqox-mZK34f-mhmHVS-juSbXp-mhJ5vP-juVyCv-mhKzWu-juQZxn-aKEG6r-muw5SR-jvRmqX-kwftck HTH Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew F Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for that Ken. I must have mixed loco's up at some point. Motherwell wouldn't have painted the roof from black to light grey. Cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Are you sure its black and not blue? https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/15680470377 I just wonder if its the angle and the light makes it look black? Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Yes different light conditions, can make the roof colour questionable, It's possible, but unlikely the roof was re-painted from Black back to Blue on transfer to Motherwell. L/L 37 026 when at Eastfield, along with a few other L/L 37's (37 175 / 37 012 etc) had re-paints in 85 which included Black - not the usual Rail Grey roofs, they also carried yellow instead of orange cantrail stripes. L/L Blue locos with Blue roofs were mainly a trademark of Inverness depot re-paints. Edited March 21, 2015 by tractor_37260 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUTTLEY Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I revived this thread on 37 liveries, because I wondered if anyone had any info on green 37s with the BR double arrow symbol? Two more are 6932 & 6950 and both were TOPS-renumbered like it. I can't think of any others at the moment... Ron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveymills Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Scottish as in allocated there, or just visiting ? Allocated to ML or ED at some point (for more than a few weeks at least) I reckon where: 37025, 035, 043, 049, 066, 069, 071, 087, 088, 099, 133, 153, 156, 170, 175, 184, 188, 196, 211, 221, 232, 240, 255, 294, 351 But definitively you can take the list and check: http://www.c37lg.co.uk/history.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted April 26, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have a GF split box blue 37 on my workbench that I want to transform into 37111 or 37112 in the Large Logo livery that wasn't. As I don't fancy fiddling about with the buffer shrouds I have been trying to work out the correct combination of livery details for the two locos. Can anyone confirm if I have summed this up correctly please? It appears as if 37111 retained its shrouds throughout its time in the livery but 37112 lost them at some point. Then there is the issue of the nose top doors, yellow like the rest of the nose in some pictures, picked out in either black or blue in others. Also, what colour was the roof? Many pictures show either BR Indeterminate Grime or are in black and white, the only reference I have been able to find is a Lima model and given their old track record on "accuracy" I am not really prepared to trust that source!! Many thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Quick question around about October November 1989 I had a semi official shot of driving a 37 up and down the sidings in polmadie down yard. I remember it had just been repainted in the dull looking BR General grey livery. I'm guessing it had just come out of Glasgow Works. It was an Inverness loco with a name. It was either 37262, 263 or 264. Can anyone confirm which loco it was please. I can't belive I've forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
