Title: Class 37/6 at Paddington Post by: Boppy on November 10, 2014, 10:43:58 Took a photo of this fine loco last Friday at Paddington.
Looks like it has a set of surveying equipment installed up front. Boppy. Title: Re: Class 37/6 at Paddington Post by: Timmer on November 10, 2014, 16:42:01 A very rare visitor indeed. I think I'm right in saying that 37s haven't done any regular workings out of Paddington?

Red Dragon?) to improve the timings. I think he had his wrist slapped by the BRB because they didn't last long - a year or so at the outside.
