37012 - Liveries/Info.

[03_179]

Morning all,

Doing a little research into this loco. I have used https://www.class37.co.uk/fleet.aspx?strnumber=37012 for the main info.

I see from Photos that the loco carried the following liveries.

BR Blue
BR Reived Large Logo
Engineers (Dutch)

Anyone know the dated (Month / Year) it was repainted in to these liveries please?

Also In all he photos I have seen so far I can see it only had Round Buffers.
Were any others used at all ?

Thank in Advance,

My photos in 1993, 1996 and 1997 (only pics I have) show oval buffers

Oh.
Thank you.
I defo saw one of it in BR Blue (1981 I think) with Round ones.
In Engineers livery I now see oval. (That makes things a little earier).

Thank you.

When built, it would have been in BR Green livery.

In about 15 seconds on Google I've found it pictured in 1983 at Eastfield, in BR Blue with a white solebar stripe, West Highland terrier and oval buffers.

That's the condition I remember it best in.

When chasing tractors up the WHL was becoming very popular!
