Just saw 37.214 at Bo'ness can anyone tell me what happened to it.

Isn’t it there acting as a parts donor for another of their 37s?

Used to provide spares for 37261 I believe.

Have seen many withdrawn locos but recon this worst condition I have seen

Just found out bogies going under 37.025

Did you never visit Shackerstone (Battlefield Line)?

No worries.

I'd imagine the rest of the Bo'ness-based 37s will benefit from 214 being parted out, as per @delt1c's reply above that it's bogies will be going under 025.

Yes indeed, one would presume so. It’s very sad to see one go but realistically what other way is there to source the many obsolete parts required nowadays, to keep these ancient beasts alive.
