br2975 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Falcon sneaks into view in these shots of (D)6989 on a weedkiller near Newport, Pill. . The photographer states they were taken in 1975, but the 37 would have been renumbered into TOPS by then. http://quietwomansrow.com/#/wynns-scotland/4533047495 Quiet Womans Row - a very good Newport resource, if you can fathom out how to navigate the site !!! .

welsh wizard Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I think falcon lasted till the autumn of 1975 so it might be ?? and it probably took a while to renumber the 37 and everything else into tops ...who knows??? another mystery!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2014 Too late Gunny - my kid brother is in the process of converting a setBrian R Comes as no surprise. I remember it coming through Cardiff Central on a few occasions but cannot remember what was hauling it. Nice write up in Model Rail this month for Ranelagh, by the way.

valleymodeller Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I see the 37 is still in well worn BR green, so maybe the date us wrong and the shot was taken earlier, maybe 73 or 74? Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting pics nonetheless! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
