Class 37 Photos...


Recommended Posts

37174 (D6874) at North Blyth on 11 August 2003.

It had received a bit of a wash and brush up as the previous day it had been on display at the Huddersfield 150 rail day.

Great pic of 37174. Amazing co-incidence, I've just been looking at the forthcoming Bachmann release of 37174 in EWS colours.

 

Here's 37114 also  at North Blyth. The only 37 I managed to to get pics in three different liveries, BR Blue, Large Logo Blue and this one in EWS in 1999.

I've found the other 2 pics of 37114

 

BR Blue, Perth 1981 (poor quality, sadly)

BR Large logo Blue, Kyle of Lochalsh ( not sure of year, around 1985 I think)

and a painting (done by my brother for me) using the first pic as reference

It should have the blue solebar but I think the new logo colour will make the solebar stand out too much. I've noticed their website hasn't changed the Phoenix colour so It maybe a one off?

37052 Departs Derby with the 0740 Wolverhampton - Sheffield  23/06/1985

Super photos, but what's the story with this one? It's heading south from Derby towards Long Eaton, so to be the 07.40 Wolves - Sheffield it must be being diverted, presumably via Toton.

Some 37s receiving attention.

 

However, I am not sure exactly where they are located, as works buildings all look the same to me :blind:

 

First is 37148 -

Then 37153 -

Followed by 37165 -

And finally 37506 -

I'm sure many of you will recognise the location(s).

Hi,

 

37148 is in the now demolished Doncaster works as is 37506 before it was converted to 37604 in the mid nineteen nineties. 37165 is in Crewe works late 1987 just before triple grey Railfreight was introduced and before it became a 37/3 with CP7 bogies. As for 37153 the location looks familiar but I just can't put my finger on it.

 

Regards

Vin

Thought I'd dig out some rather grubby looking Eastfield 37/4s especially for those who like authentic weathering

Dr Who time again all these taken on the 11th July (today) but different years

 

1980's

37160 Preston 1989 25 Years ago today

post-12740-0-68258100-1405075989_thumb.jpg

 

1990's

37221 Carlisle 1991 23 Years ago today

post-12740-0-08193500-1405076008_thumb.jpg

A rare combination at Carlisle 37221 + 60052 Carlisle 11/07/1991 I believe that 37221 had been to Glasgow Works and was moving south to its new home at Immingham.

 

2000's 5 years ago today

37610 Carlisle DRS Open Day 2009

I believe it was diverted via the Erewash Valley Line not sure why though.

Did 37160 become 37373 by any chance? If so it was basically a poor mans refurb, with regeared CP7 bogies. Not sure of the exact reason for the modified cantrail grilles though, maybe some internal modifications? 37509 also received some modified grilles.

 

Could corrosion be the reason for the taller cut always over buffer beams?

 

 

Cheers

Yes - and along with 37370 and 37379, it was always two out of the three on the Clitheroe-Gunnie cement five days per week, for about three years........... (or so it seemed)

 

Cheers,

After my last posting of rather grubby looking Eastfield 37/4s, I thought it would be good to see some nice clean Inverness 37s.
