 Viewed from another angle 37407 looks resplendent in its reproduction of BR's large logo livery. Delivered as D6605 in October 1965, this locomotive worked on the Western Region including banking duties on the Lickey Incline becoming 37305 in March 1974. It moved to Scotland in 1985 after receiving a heavy overhaul and conversion to a 37 '4'. It moved back south again to Wales in 1989 as part of the Provincial Cardiff Canton Pool. After a brief spell at Immingham it returned to Eastfield again in 1990. In 1993 it became a Regional Railways North West locomotive until storage, component recovery and official withdrawal in 2000. It was bought for preservation ending up at the Churnet Valley Railway and there it stayed. That is until it was suddenly moved by road to Kingmoor in 2016, reinstated and overhauled as seen here. What a story for a locomotive to tell and testament to the design on these English Electric Type 3s.
