So, how long until we have a DRS 20 Farewell Tour?

Hope DRS's postage stamps are big enough, Broken 37405 is off on a low loader to Booths, sorry Barrow Hill this evening.

Mind you, apart from the fact it's only down the road - you could probably find some better examples of running 37/4s down there!

Let's hope 37401 and 37422 work. Scrap 37405, never thought it and 37402 would have a chance considering the state they were in at Toton :roll:
Thanks, Sam

Or 411 Too, that wasnt too bad considering all it really needed were some new batteries. DRS Don't seem to be having much luck with 37/4s at the moment - 405 threw something suspension wise off it's bogie on the drag back from Barrow Hill - failed before it's entered service, whilst 425s doing it's bit - also now suffering with engine problems aswell. Just as well DRS Have a fleet of ETH 47 & 57s then!

CF Booths Rotherham update
•So far, only 37427 and 47829 have been totally disposed of.
•37417 is still reported to be intact but its internals have gone now.
•20313 latest arrival

*NEWS UPDATE*
20310 on its way to Booths

With thanks to armadillomaste for news of 20313, as I saw it here first hock:
Thanks, Sam

 

[armadillomaste]

How much is the going rate for scrap for a Class 20?

Christ, now is not a happy time for 37/4s or their fans. There’s shortly to be nothing left of many of my favourite locos but memories and photographs.

Might be worth a trip to Booths then?
You'll still have 37418 and 37421 in preservation, which are being helped by the parts from the 37/4s at Booths
Thanks, Sam

 

[sprinterguy]

Wandering around the rusting hulks doesn't strike me as much of an entertaining day out to be honest, even if I didn't have umpteen more interesting things to be doing. I think I'll leave Booths to it, and accept that what is past has passed (Though that doesn't mean that I have to like it)!

 

[33109]

Sorry to go slightly off topic folks but wondered what's going on with the pres 37/4s? Sorry if any of the following is incorrect but best can manage from memory:

37403 - Undergoing overhaul at bo'ness, PU back in about a month ago so what's left now before we get a start up?

37418 - Having the PU off 893 fitted at bury not sure how far along this is now?

37421 - Having bodywork repairs\repaint into regional railways livery at pontypool, looks almost complete from recent phots i've seen of it.

37407/424 - Stored at cheddleton on CVR, heard rumours going around that there was a plan to make a goodun out of the 2? Either way though both of em look pretty wrecked.

Any gen on these much appreciated.

Re 37403: zero hours engine and TPWS fitted, OTMR to be fitted this month. Start up planned early this year. Next plan is bogies and then cabs.

For the others, sounds about right, more or less what I've heard. Someone posted something similar on WNXX recently.
Thanks, Sam

37418s overhaul and repaint into BR Large Logo with Scottie Dogs seems to be nearing completion now, just awaiting the final transfers by the looks of it and any mechanical works outstanding left to do.

 

[sprinterguy]

20 tour, don't be silly, the amount that have gone, i'l be surprised if there will be any left.

I believe that the Retro Railtours trip in April has requested a pair of DRS 20s.

37403 is well on it's way back? That's wonderful to hear - Given the state that it was taken off EWS' hands, it's quite miraculous, and with 37418 seemingly on the way back too, I suppose that it isn't all doom and gloom on the 37/4 front at all!

One word, mainline (with 37025)

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
37428 and 37683 to be cut next!
37417 has been cut, stored 12/2008 from the WFMU pool at Toton, RIP

37683 has now been cut up at last, 37428 is next.

20315 is the only class 20 left for transfer from carlisle to booths i think.

20315 is at Booths and has been deleted off TOPS
Not much of 37428 remains.

I'll update the DRS/Booths fleet update later

Thanks, Sam

 

[jamieintercity]

37401 was noted on a low loader on the A1 today, so it should be at Bo'ness later today

Any idea why DRS have bought a DVT?

Adam

 

[fgwrich]

Got to love irony and the world of DRS, it's only a few years ago since they last had a Mk3 rake. Used it on the Stobart Pullman (replaced the Blue Pullman Mk2s), Then smartened it up with the intention to use it on the 'Ocean Liner Express' venture in partnership with UK Railtours, This failed, Hardly tried to use it for any spot hire use and subsequently stored it before selling it to DB Regio.

Have they done the same trick again by purchasing only Mk3 FOs?

But the point of purchasing the Mk3s is anyone's guess - The DVT, works with the Mk3s, Push Pull capability. But, it has (magazine only) been listed down as being used to test the ARR capability on the 68s, which i thought weren't gaining any Multi Working systems?

Oh right, thanks very much. Word on the street is that Chiltern also want 68s as they use less fuel than 67s, so AAR would make sense :P

Are 20301-20304 stored pending the RHTT season or will DRS use them if 20308 & 20312 are out of traffic?

I believe they are stored pending the Yorkshire RHTT, but if they do win the contract then they'll have 20301-305/308/309/312 to play with, if not....one word.....scrap

In other news, 37401 is no longer in the system. It has been deregistered from the system at Bo'ness. Reports suggest it will receive some attention and may well work alongside 37025 and 37403 (hopefully on the mainline)
Hopes are set aside that it will gain its old name of "Mary Queen of Scots" and intercity colours which I like the sound of
EDIT: According to Railways Illustrated, 37401 has been donated to Bo'ness and Kinnei Railway

(By the way, I'm hoping to try and get into a routine of posting a fleet update once to twice a week)

Thanks, Sam

 

[Rhydgaled]

Could you put a description on coaches in future please, as far as I know you can't tell just from a number whether it is a mrk3 FO or a mrk2 TSO unless you happen to remember the numbers of each individual coach and what type it is (or look that vehicle number up on the web).

Sometimes a bit of research is good for the soul. If I don't know what's going on - I look it up......

MARK 2 and 3 coaches are numbered in series

Mk2 and Mk 3 series

4 digit numbers
1st digit
1 catering
3 first
5or6 second
9 brake second

5 digit numbers
1st 2 digits
10 catering or sleeper
11 first
12 second
13 first corridor
17 brake (either)

there are oddities, usually rebuilds like lounge cars that don't fit this pattern, but most do.
