johnw1 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A shot from the “lost” five strips of 126 instamatic black and white negatives from my week long 1973 Western Region Railrover holiday in July 1973. Two class 37’s and a row of class 08’s stabled at Radyr, South Wales, 8th July 1973. My records state that there were five class 37’s stabled at Radyr that day so the two seen here are from 6927/36/71/78/98, the leading class 08 is 3434. 69xx – http://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/12184007123/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 03060 Posted January 23 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23 There's a rare colour photo in the Feb '24 edition of Backtrack showing D6936 (green FYE) at Fort William shed in 1968 where it was on trials a full 10 to 12 years before the 37s started to make the West Highland Line their own.
