G-BOAF Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just seen a Colas 37 in Reading P.Way yard (I was on the mainline flyover) - it looked like it had split-headcode boxes, but could't see the number or makeout the nameplate. Would this have been '99, or is another split box 37 in Colas livery? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2017 It would have been 099, the only other split boxes we use are 025 in large logo and 057 in green Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yesterday Merl went towards the seaside! On the rear end of a test train, with 37057 leading and heading out of York for Scarborough. I didn't see it myself, being ensconced at work, but a friend of mine was at the station Take a look at @wallygridboy's Tweet: https://twitter.com/wallygridboy/status/859114838760599552?s=09 Take a look at @wallygridboy's Tweet: https://twitter.com/wallygridboy/status/859115797444251652?s=09 The second photo is of Merl, glowing in the late afternoon sun!

That's a shame about 37099. I noticed on TOPS today that 37025 was working 0Z37 Derby RTC to Mossend. I didn't see that 37611 was with it but I knew that their must have been a loco failure for 025 and 611 to be dispatched from Derby. Hope 37099 is back out and about soon.

I went to York to get this working and it caught a few people out , booked avoider n went station but I was in the right place at Holgate junction so I rewarded with a decent pic of them and hoping to get the return run with 2 splitboxes together 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would be nice if you got 025 and 099 in the same photo. Especially considering that Colas only have these two and 057 as split box 37s so it isn't very often that the split box 37s are paired up. Hope you manage to get them.

I know that 37421s engine has just been removed and replaced at Barrow Hill. Once repaired could 099 potentially have 421s old engine? Do you know where 421s new engine has come from? Possibly refurbished and removed from 37207? Thank you very much in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
