47805 is still fully operational. 47501 was the one that caught fire.Does anyone know the status of 47805? Is it a parts donor after it caught fire a couple of years ago or will it eventually be fixed ?

Seems to be running happily in service, see; https://www.flickr.com/photos/luivery/53409164952/Does anyone know the status of 47805? Is it a parts donor after it caught fire a couple of years ago or will it eventually be fixed ?
Are you thinking of 47501 ?Does anyone know the status of 47805? Is it a parts donor after it caught fire a couple of years ago or will it eventually be fixed ?
Ah yes my bad. 501Are you thinking of 47501 ?
47805 has been active throughout December including trips to Norwich, Bristol, Rugby and York
Ah yes my bad. 501
Bit more than just a top end overhaul if liners were removed?Have you seen it recently? Care to elaborate? It had a top end overhaul in 2020 which involved removal of cylinders, liners and so on.
has anyone seen the LSL 37 repainted into scot-rail livery? i think it's a bit of an odd choice although one that had a high chance of happening in real life.
There’s more to a locomotive than the prime mover…(!)Have you seen it recently? Care to elaborate? It had a top end overhaul in 2020 which involved removal of cylinders, liners and so on.
Assume you mean who operated it, which was DRS.
Hmm got to say im not a fan of the clown paint on 37409 atm... maybe it'll grow on me mind, it would be nice if the could re-do the XP 64 on 47853, but only if the put the headcode panels back in a la 47004 by far the best retro job ever imo
Not sure what you mean? HNRC has purchased 37405 from DRS, along with several 37/6s. Whereas LSL has recently purchased 37409 and several 37/0s.37409 could have been off to Harry Needles, either to be scrapped (bad!) or repainted bright orange (worse!).

I've seen this photo flying around this morning - 37409 is looking very Scottish!
My understanding is that 37402 is now owned by Andania Engineering, who also own 40013 which is operated by LSL so presumably the same thing is happening with 37402I've just seen on facebook a suggestion that LSL have also bought 401 and 402. It was my understanding that at least one of those has been bought by another group. A video was posted of the pair of them running on the mainline today or yesterday, so 401 must have had some form of overhaul/exam too as its engine hours had run out.
Just to clarify that you are referring to Class 37s rather than the previously discussed 47s?I've just seen on facebook a suggestion that LSL have also bought 401 and 402.

It’s rather unlikely that you’d see 47401 and 47402 running on the main line, or that LSL had bought them…
I think they were right to apply the livery as essentially a 'blue stripe' adaptation of the Mainline scheme. Yellow lower cab sides would look quite incongruous on a loco with a long nose.Only just seen this. I quite like it but I wonder if it would look better with yellow cab sides like the 47/7s?
They can do what they want obviously!
