Fenman Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Three views of 37003 (D6703 as was) loitering outside the Locomotion museum at Shildon under very black clouds. I've just discovered its owners have commissioned Bachmann to produce a limited edition model of it. I lived by the Fen Line in the 1970s, and 37s hauled most of the InterCity traffic I saw. Happy memories! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rail-Online Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Now here's a pair in the "real" period, however one is a bit wrong for 1975-6, it looks like the depot had a problem getting a spare so did a "temporary" fix which lasted a lot longer than it should have. I think it consisted of a perspex cover on top of the old panel -what do you think? Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowvanman Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Cheers Tony , that looks like a fine repair job...the original spec. looks much better than some later variations such as this EPS one..with extra lights theres no room on that nose end for anything else..
