37s in Cornwall

Post by MattW » 15:15 Monday 10th April 2023

Had a couple of 37s down here on a private charter over the Easter weekend. Thought I'd go out and capture them on their travels - saw very few other enthusiasts, but we've got Flying Scotsman down here on the 30th so I'm enjoying the quiet while it lasts....

Thanks for posting the excellent pictures; a much travelled private charter which ends up in Euston today. Bet those 37s woke a few residents up in Penzance and Kingswear yesterday! Any idea who organised the charter, or whether it was in aid of charity? Incidentally, it passed through Hereford late on Good Friday afternoon en route between Llandudno and Bristol.

Tim I believe it was Locomotive Services themselves - I guess it was what they used to call a Director's Special!
