Cracking!...

If you were home Mick, how did you miss 3 of EE's finest thrashing??

 

You need a hearing aid...

 

Jack.

 

I wasn't home - that was the problem. I tried to swing work near to a convenient level crossing, but we got stuck in traffic! (At that point in time, I only thought there was one 37 on 6K05.)

 

Cheers,

Mick

Not a happy bunny today.

 

Slightly happier bunny today though!

Just managed to fit this in between work sessions.

A quick grab video with my phone - apologies for the wind noise

Hi Eggesford,

 

Some nice pics there, nice to see some Heavyweight 37 action. To help with the numbers, the leading loco in your first pic is 37905.

 

If I'm correct, the loco in your second pic is 37903.

Nice photos!!! :sungum:  :locomotive:

Seconded! Thanks for posting those up Eggesford.

 

Shame about that BBA in the loop, must have been 'fun' recovering that with a load of coil on board. Can't be any help ID'ing the loco either as most of CF's metals 37/7s carried no names or the last three digits on the nose.

 

Cheers
