37235, stabled, Severn Tunnel Junction MPD 37235 stands under the bridge with Severn Tunnel Junction station in the background. It is displaying its number in the now defunct head code panel. This often proved useful for us spotters when the usual white cab side number was tricky to read. 37235 had moved west to be based at Landore. It resided here for sometime remaining a West Country engine for some years before moving back up north again. It had an ignominious end being put in store as 'unserviceable' in 1995. It then went through several owners, was subject to component recovery (stripping to you and I) and finally cut up by WCRC at Carnforth in 2008. Notice one of my friends calmly walking along the side of a running line. I remember that I did not take this route but went up the steps to the left!
