Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Stopped off at Seascale which is just south of Sellafield Power Station on the Cumbrian coast after working in Whitehaven and managed to see one of the loco hauled trains from Barrow. 37609 was at the front of the train. 37423 was on the rear 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A couple of pics from Oban, August 1984. A no heat 37 could usually be found stabled at Oban station prior to working the tanks. 37172 and an unidentified 37 thrashes out of Oban station with a Glasgow QS service.

Alcanman Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 37108 is the splitbox 37 leaving Oban. Thanks. Could I ask how you can identify 37108? At first I thought it was 37022, seen here departing Oban, then I realised I couldn't possibly have got round to the road bridge (seen in the background) to take the pic! 37022 also has headlight in the same position as 37108 Mal 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
55016 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Mal 108 was also my first reaction; it has the old connecting door plated over (say compared with 37022 you've shown) and oval buffers, and at the time was a WHL regular. Pretty sure that 108 in August 84 would have been unique with plated door, headlight in that location and oval buffers. Some great nostalgic photos there of the Oban station as I recall it with the old station still standing but out of use. Had two weeks based near Taynuilt in August '84. Happy days.

Guest B Exam Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) As 55016 says, 37108 was the only boilered dual braked 37 on the West Highland with plated over front end doors and a headlight offset to the right halfway up the panel. The only other 37s based in Scotland at the time with plated over doors and boiler fitted were 37025 and 37035. The headlights on these two locos are in different places, 37025 mounted central in the panel slightly higher up, and 37035 mounted on top of the nose.

Alcanman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks for the replies. I also have another 'unidentified' Scottish 37s in my collection and it has plated over doors. Taken at Motherwell on 11.9.1982. My notebook shows the following 37s on shed. 156,242,058,056,149,139,117,292,133,188,145,154 and 146. Obviously some of those are centre headcode. Anyone got an idea which one it is? Mal 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie7 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 At one point in the early 80's 37108 had class 60 style buffers at one end at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 2 more 37s from my tour of Scottish depots on 11th September 1982. Haymarket, Grangemouth, Eastfield, Polmadie and Motherwell produced a total of 166 locos on that day. How I wish I'd taken more photos! Eastfield's 37051 at Polmadie. and 37167 at Grangemouth Mal 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its 37058. I enlarged the photo and can easily read the number. Also 37058 was vacuum only at the time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi all - With 37025 almost ready to return to the main line, here is an interesting one of 37025 hauling an SRPS railtour on the 22nd May 1994. The train ran from Edinburgh Waverley to Carlisle and back and featured haulage by 37505 and 37510 on the outward leg and Black Five 44767 from Carlisle to Springburn, 237025 took over for the final leg from Springburn to Edinburgh.
