Thank you for all the replies , we have now managed to purchase a 37 from shenker, it is going back in service on a private site.
I'll have to see it to believe it :roll:
Not so!

They've got an eBay account, you know. Got one the other day, very reasonable Buy It Now price. Got stung on the postage, though. And the postman really wasn't happy.
I can't believe this either, a quick search returns nothing... could you provide a link to their profile??



I know I'm not the only one thinking...
What a load of tat.

I think HugePilchard was joking!

Yes, sorry now you say it - I, at first didn't get it! :oops:

I was even on eBay looking for it!

Sarcastic jokes never comes over well on forums :smile:

Booth's at Rotherham have a shipping container full of them. Nice little earner on the side. Add on the wagon makers' plates that are usually still on old rolling stock and there's a few more quid.

Thanks for this - I'm in contact with Booths as we speak seeing what they've got and how much it'll cost.
I'll update as and when I know.

I think you might find that virrgo is the name of the company he works for and I suspect the loco isn't for him, but for a client.

Looks like you may be correct. Seems.a strange way to go about it though! If I wanted a diesel, there's people I would go to, before I approached a liquidated stock buyer for help.
If one of the DB locos does have a brighter future, I am sure all will be revealed in time.

I agree. I can't think of anyone off hand who would go to them.

They're quite clearly not a specialist in obtaining rolling stock if they have to ask around the internet!

If you want to purchase a Locomotive then contact EMR (European Metal Recycling). I know they have 37 675,37670,37707,37709,37886,37895,37898 at Kingsbury. How about asking for a Class 56 instead. DBS and Scrap Sites have many examples. I wish I could buy a locomotive so it could be used as a garden feature. Wouldn't really have anywhere to put it though.

Very small, but wish I had a large garden to put it in.

Ahh I understand! A locomotive certainly would be a pretty distinctive feature to have in your back garden or even your front, though I'm not sure the neighbours would approve :lol:

I only have £1 as I spent my pocket money on my magazine so I can't afford it. It would take for ever to save up for a loco by the time I have the money they will be scrapping the 66s and 67s.

A locomotive garden feature!! I think your best bet is to call up the local bank and open a savings account. Even on pocket money, if you started now, you might have a fair chance! :D
