Nearholmer Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I wondered if, by some quirk, it had a Ruston engine. Dont think it does though. The Museum of Lincolnshire Life has some very good Ruston material, incidentally, including one of the copy-Deutz 4WPM locos built cWW1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As DOCJACOB said, I believe it was bought by the city council when it was withdrawn & 'plinthed' to represent the end of an era for Lincoln's railways (station pilots/shunter allocation, not sure which). Here it is towards the end of its working life (1987/1988) sat in its usual home in what used to be Platform 3... 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snowplough brackets were only fitted to the radiator, of a handful of South Wales allox W.R. locos, namely D3258, 3744, 3748, 3758, 3819 & 3821 . .

When we use the independent ploughs mainly for their yearly test but wee did use them in anger a few years ago coupling those to a 37 with ploughs is very tight to get in At the end of rhtt season putting all the 37s together is horrible as everything is covered in brown slime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
