Large Logo Survivors


D400

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

After purchasing a spare 37057 body yesterday I'm trying to find out which Large Logo liveried locos survied beyond the widspred application of sector liveries in the late 1980s.

 

Off the top of my head I've got the following so far:

 

37025 - lost LL in the early 90s but seems to have had it reapplied in 1994 when it was named Inverness TMD.

37057 - seems to have carried LL right up until being repainted in EWS livery in 1996.

37116 - carried LL up until Jan 1996 when it finally lost its skirts (and headcode boxes)

 

37128/330 - seems to have kept LL to the end in 1997 - lost large numbers when renumbered to 330 - gained small black numbers on cabsides.

37209 - withdrawn in July 1992 and remained in LL to the bitter end...!

37264 - remained in LL until some point in 1992 when it went into dutch livery.

 

37408 - mentioned elsewhere and kept LL until being repainted in EWS in 1998.

 

Are they any I've missed?

 

Cheers,

Bruce

Thanks Martin - didn't know about 37108... any ideas when it went to TTG?

According to another 1994 stock book that I've found, which I'd forgotten I had, the last shopping date for it was March 1992, so it was probably repainted then.

 

Of the other two I listed, 152 was shopped in May 1992 and 358 in December 1991, which again is when I expect they were repainted. 152 went into Intercity colours and 358 into TTG.

37108 went TTG March 1992 following overhaul at Doncaster. Lanarkshire Steel plates removed at same time.
