Vin Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi all, Does that mean that 37402 will become 'Oor Wullie' & 37403 'Isle of Mull'? It would make sense. Regards Vin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Isn't 37403 still at Bo'ness under overhaul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted January 26, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2016 It has recently moved by road from Bo'ness to RVEL Derby for a repaint into Large Logo livery. The movement was approximately two weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 37 057+37 116, Barnetby, July 1991. Amazingly a pairing still possible and entirely likely 25 years on with both owned by Colas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Amazingly a pairing still possible and entirely likely 25 years on with both owned by Colas And following on from my last post it looks like 37057/116 were together yesterday. Rather annoyingly if they were doing this trip tomorrow rather than yesterday I would have seen them as I am going to Worksop: https://www.flickr.com/photos/66202473@N04/24605158386/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted January 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2016 Both back at Derby RTC this morning. Can't see anything booked off Derby RTC for tomorrow for Colas except a few WTTs which normally don't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest B Exam Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Both back at Derby RTC this morning. Can't see anything booked off Derby RTC for tomorrow for Colas except a few WTTs which normally don't run. 3Q05 Derby RTC-Doncaster via Peterborough tonight. Either 37057+37116 or 37175+37219. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H64593/2016/01/27/advanced Returns overnight this Thursday night. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H64597/2016/01/28/advanced Probably end up being 37603....

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted January 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2016 Didn't see that path in the system earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest B Exam Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Didn't see that path in the system earlier. Indeed is 37116 leading 37057 on 3Q05 and UTU4 sandwiched inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It's amazing to see all this heritage traction back on the mainline - is it purely what's available and to circumvent the ever more strict emissions rules ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandrover Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 They were on it for more years than that. They did it the whole time I was at secondary school in Kendal(86-91) and for years beyond. Would give anything to be able to see and hear that train again as you could here it for a good 10mins before it appeared slowly going past Birds park farm north of Oxenholme starting its climb up Shap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Accord Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 A thought just struck me about 37025: is she the only current main line registered diesel to have an operational steam heat boiler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westie7 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Just hope Colas keep 37025 in the above livery... I think you'll find there is an agreement between the owners and Colas to ensure it doesn't get "Killed" and retains this preserved condition. I'll try and remember where I found that snippet EDIT See Scottish Thirty Seven Group Facebook post 17/1/16 A statement from our Chairman All, As you will be aware, our loco 37025 is now mainline registered. Whilst we did not anticipate work for it any time soon (given that this is typically a quiet period for charter work) we were approached by Colas to hire it immediately on a short term rolling basis for light duty non-passenger work. Andy Blakeley (your Operations Director) and I met with Colas representatives and were impressed by both their professionalism and assurances that 37025 would be treated in accordance with its' heritage status. We have also had assurances that the locomotive would be made available for passenger charter work during the hire period, as agreed in advance. Having given this considerable thought, the directors unanimously agreed to this short term hire as such a hire will be beneficial to all parties concerned, including the locomotive which shall now see some mainline running at a time when it may have been sitting idle. It is the intention that 37025 will power onto the mainline on Monday 18th January going to Cardiff, times are here http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/…/R90053/2016/01/18/advanced. Very exciting times indeed! Kindest Regards, Steven Ramage Chairman Scottish Thirty-Seven Group Edited January 31, 2016 by westie7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
