37898 Off to See The Scrapman

[Ferret]

37898 sits at J10 of the M42 tonight - http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p68041588.html

Bit of a dodgy grab shot given that it was taken hand-held at ISO1600 1/5 f2.8, but worth it for the record. Not like I'll get another opportunity............

Snazzy livery Never seen that before. What is it?

And the lighting on the photo is pretty cool!

Hmm, that'll be after I shifted the white balance on the picture a tad. It's parked underneath orange lights, which I hate with a passion!

The livery is the old Transrail colours - which was basically two-tone grey with Transrail stickers applied! Here's a pair of classmates in the livery, in somewhat happier times - http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p49314257.html

Good work, Matt - that's proper traction! My first Rail Rover was also in '88.

Do you still recall the date of your cracking shot of ex-works 43118 at Derby?
