Colas' 37219 'Jonty Jarvis 8-12-1998 to 18-3-2005' looks a little tatty and work stained as it sits on display at Barrow Hill. It sits next to Pheonix's 37901 that by contrast was very shiny and well presented! Whilst DRS has said that it wishes to dispose of its older heritage fleet putting them all up for sale in the summer of 2022 others are continuing to make use of them with the 37s, in particular, remaining extremely versatile locomotives despite their advancing years. Notice the bracketry fitted to the nose of 37219 that supports the Rila track recording equipment.
