Do please keep any observations and desires coming. We genuinely take it all on board, even the mad stuff :) 

mine would have to be 37057 in BR Green with skirts and High Density headlight. As it worked for Colas.

 

It would be nice to have 37087 K&WVR in DRS livery or 059/218 with flush fronts in DRS Swoosh livery to follow on from the 37/4’s.

I would prefer it as it used to be, 37324 Clydebridge.

A Class 40 (or to give it its correct title for the period, English Electric Type 4) rather than a 37. In front is a vacuum brake tender, designed to add additional brake force when operating a loose coupled or unfitted train.

The loco is a class 40, with a brake tender in front.

Whilst in 099 form it would be more useful to me (if I didn't already have the Bachmann one) I expect most people after Colas 099 have the Bachmann one.

 

Logos are out of date on that though so maybe wouldn't necessarily be a direct repeat.

We agree, which is why we've never repeated a running number / livery combination (not even on wagons!). 

 

At least you have plenty to go at before you start making them up!

[Krieghoff]

Many thanks for the clarification chaps.

As I'm gonna be modelling the Kyle line I'll be needing them for the back end of my modelling period

[GordonC]

I'd love some Motherwell 37/3s to go with the PTAs for Ravenscraig Iron Ore duties

[Phil Bullock]

All these one offs! Pre TOPs green and banger blue centre headcode South Wales jobbies will out sell them all…. 😄

Quite an interesting photo, on a number of points.

 

As previously posted, the loco is a 40 (hint, note the larger gap between cab door and radiator grill, also disc headcode which no 37 had), and has a Diesel Brake Tender in front.

 

Yes, the wagon is an HAA, which dates the photo no earlier than '64.  From it's condition it appears to be brand new, not a hint of coal dust even inside it! Which suggests the train could be a rake on delivery from the works.

 

Also, at that period the 40 would l expect be vacuum only, so the train would be being worked unfitted, explaining the presence of the brake tender.

The freight brake van at the front also suggests the train had a reversal of direction en-route so was running with a brake van each end.

Many thanks for your observations Ken. My parents house was about half way up the row to the left of the photo. I was born in 1965 so a 64' time period would be about right. My mother used to say when steam trains traveled along this line, the sparks used to set fire to the embankment very regularly. Lovely memories of times gone by.

I remember the brake tenders on the Consett early diesel trains coming and going to the steel works,early 60,s.

I’m just praying for the WCRC 37’s to make an appearance in the future. 

[PieGuyRob]

Er, 37065 in mainline blue livery, it has a split headcode at the number 1 end and a flush front at the other end. Please.

 

I am presuming of course that the tooling allows for different style noses at each end.

How about 37116 'Sister Dora' in BR Blue with Transrail branding. I think it would be an interesting addition to the early privatisation era. Not my image.

That's actually a really nice livery. Not normally a big fan of the normal transrail (or grey ones) personally.

I think the Transrail big T decals look good on civil enginers livery as well.

If it's a 37 I'll still take that over a 66 anyday! Just prefer mine in blue and green :)
