Entries in by 1900 next Sunday please.

EDIT: After being questioned, class 97s of the /3 subclass (i.e. 97301-97304) will be accepted for this competition.

Oh Dear.

What a surprise...

 

[EE Type 3]

Too much to choose from! hock:

Do 97's count,yes I know there not 37's but they might aswell be.


Whoops just realised after posting.

 

[EE Type 3]

What about 37/9s?

 

[dan_atki]

Yes, any 37 is allowed

 

[EE Type 3]

Yes, any 37 is allowed

Even though they are class 38 :-P

I do double check everything before posting my replies I know I'm new at this but... :razz:

Anyways as with those in the 97/3 subclass they were in the 37/1 and 37/2 classes before so are class 37s (they were actually only converted for testing for the 38s and 60s and, officially, are still class 37s ).

No they are not

*serious hat*
They were testing grounds for the 98. Not an actual 98

No such thing as a 37/1 or 37/2, they are 37/0's but the numbers kust going into the 371xx and 372xx range due to how many 37/0's there are.

Indeed this is true.

So I don't want to be hearing any 37/8 nonsense

True - I should read a whole page of text rather than just one paragraph and assuming things about numbering conventions .

Then again ALL 309 class 37s were of the /0 subclass when built. Refurbishment and other modifications made other subclasses, which as Tom correctly states there was no 37/8.

OK I'll stop trying to sound clever now.

I just don't know how you can say that

37s are loud, BEAST locos.

 

[Mintona]

I just don't know how you can say that

37s are mildly loud, over-rated, ugly as BEASTs locos.

Fixed that for ya.

Come on minty, just let it go.

Being from Wilmslow your not a million miles from the east lancs, take a trip up there when 37109 is next out, that should change your mind, the diverts on that machine are mega loud!

He's from Ross-on-Wye, they don't have 37s down there very often

 

[Mintona]

That reminds me, I still must get up to the ELR. Will have to go on a day when they get some decent locos out. 47402 and 45041 look favourite 8)
