cornish trains jez Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi everyone, I am currently renumbering some of my class 37's for my layout based on Par, and having just finished 37207 and 37206, I am moving onto my next project - 37181. I have found a few pictures but I would like to model the loco as it was with the uncut buffer beam in the early 80's. Does anyone have any photos of this loco and if so, did it carry the Lizzie the lizard emblems and did it have snow ploughs? Any help and photos greatly appreciated!

Rivercider Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I posted a pic of 37181 on the 'Par/St Blazey area' thread, the shot was taken 7/11/83 there were no ploughs fitted at that time, cheers edit - the picture is now loaded on my Flickr account Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How did they get the Tiger in the roundhouse? Probably by using a 'pinch bar' I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekEm8 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Jeremy, If you want a 37 with 'uncut' bufferbeam and the Cornish Lizard there was only one 37185. Apparently only 3 locos carried the Cornish railways logo 37181, 37185 and 37207. I was fortunate to catch all 3 over a weekend in early September 1984 37207,37181 Plymouth 1st September 1984 37181,37185 BZ 2nd September 1984 37185 BZ 2nd September 1984 (Apologies for cropped image - 1st shot on film) (Images previously posted in response to a similar thread) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll have to model all 3 of the Lizard branded 37's. I've already done William Cookworthy, so just 2 to go! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekEm8 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 37181 at Par with snowploughs. And a few years later with skirts removed at Lostwithiel Craig I think your first picture is 37185 (note round head buffers and skirts and Cornish logo) Second is 37181. (Oval buffers no skirts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
