fter kicking the habit for a year or two, Im back browsing model railway stuff on eBay. Dangerous, I know
Looking at the plethora of 80s/90s stock on there with a fresh pair of eyes, the InterCity liveried 37s look a bit odd. Its only now that I realise that I dont think I ever saw any running in that livery and cant think of what services they would have run. The northern legs of the Sleepers?
So, simple question what services did InterCity liveried 90mph Class 37s run?
I could have understood it if there had been ScotRail liveried 37s, given the long-established work they did on the WHL/ Far North etc, but I dont think any carried that livery.
Some English 37s made it into Regional Railways colours (but that was never as good as the Scotrail colour scheme IMHO).
Plenty of freight versions given the range of work that they did. Even a Police version
But I cant remember any InterCity ones at the time (or think of any service worth the name InterCity that a 37 would have been the traction for in those days).
