Class 37 Photos...


Recommended Posts

Interesting that 37222 still had its frost grills in 1988. What did SCN stand for (below the data panel)? I should remember but can't!

're the frost grilles a few kept them into the 2000's, 37239 is one that kept them to the end.

Colas 37219 'Jonty Jarvis 8-12-1998 to 18-3-2005', with what appears to be RILA track monitoring equipment fitted, passing Colne Bridge Huddersfield on 2nd October 2018 with 0Z37, 16.10 Crewe P.A.D. to Doncaster Europort.

Hi Bob,

 

Cracking photos. I particularly like the scenes depicted in them, they hold a certain appeal to me, the unsung, unglamorous, every-work-a-day and somewhat mundane workings. Thanks for sharing.

No probs Ian, i like dirty and grubby, clean, pristine and passenger stuff do's nowt for me and never did, most times i had a roll of film to finish off and took pics' of anything that moved just to use the film up.....sods law then ruled as they usually ended up being the best pics' of a bad lot, i share as they are helpful and ideal for modelling purposes and not the best quality, out of the thousands i took you'd be hard pressed to find half a dozen decent ones.

Another unknown 37 at Westbury 26-6-'90 on a pass' to Weymouth.

Just checked it again rob D2 and i found its got the small 253 number which can just be seen on the front end, it also had a bonnet fitted car like spot light. And by chance here is 142 again at Westbury 26th June 1990. Were the small numbers on the front normal in Blue?

I don’t think so, only on mainline freight locos. I reckon that can’t be early 2000s as it’s got pre 98 warning flashes and 142 went from general grey to Dutch earlier. I reckon that’s early 90s ...

I think it's 37263.....not 253 (that became 37699 in mid 1985) photos on t'interweb show the nose mounted light and cab window decal.

 

Regards

Got lucky today, went out to photograph 5V91 which I was hoping would be loco hauled - it wasn't. However, 1P14 had expired at Stowmarket and had been dragged into the loop by a Freightliner 66, a mysterious 5P99 had run from Norwich to Stowmarket and was hanging around the failure, I was hoping it might be a double set running back but, again, not to be - instead 37403 was the original 5P99 and was dragging the DVT+90+set back to Norwich, the sound was great as it climbed away from Diss, I could hear it for several minutes until the barriers I was near dropped for it's approach.
