Ex DRS 37s

[CDM Transport]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the status is of 37069/218/423 or 37401/2?

Also anyone know when the just sold DRS 37s (37407/19/22/24/25/716) are due to move?

Thanks,

Caleb

Okay thanks, have they all been repainted into Europhenix standard?

407 has been sold to Europhenix and 716 to HNRC

This was 37069 on Leicester last week. Think 218/423 are about due a test run.

402 is owned by Sheaf Engineering Ltd. I understand that they are based at Barrow Hill.

Barrow or Barrow Hill? They’re rather different places!

Thanks very much!

You're welcome, obviously Europhoenix aren't that scary a company so it should be a freight licence rather than a fright licence

Looks like 37407 is going to be dragged by one of the ROG 37s to Leicester. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R13188/2024-05-13/detailed

I read somewhere that 37407 will stay in Large Logo for a while because the loco livery looks fine. Probably will get a repaint anyway.
