I wouldn't have sold them any of my locos if I'd known they weren't going to keep them nice and shiny

Rare shot of it still with split boxes, it was an early accident victim with d6774 and ended up with Centre boxes/ roof horns.

Do you still work in booths?  I took some mk3s in there a couple of weeks ago 

[37038]

No - I worked at Riley's. We stripped the parts we wanted, then cut the body into sections that would fit into a roll-skip!

 

I did save some other off bits - bodyside steps etc - to incorporate into my shed, but I think they got left behind in a house move.

Very nice! I’m guessing the duff failed somewhere in South Wales and 37233 was on hand to assist through to Paddington.

At least something survived from this picture is 6757. The building in the background with the water tank on the roof was the shedmasters office 

Another fantastic picture
