What was at RTC yesterday (9 August) ? (4 class 37s)

[andrewslack]

Hi, I've been trying unsuccessfully to find what the 4 Class 37s I saw from my train at RTC yesterday. There were two in Colas, one that is some sort of blue livery and another that looks black, but could be dark blue or grey. Also there was 43290 I believe (based on livery and dire paint condition), and a DBSO and two rakes of yellow Network Rail test train coaches. The two colas 37s were top and tailing one rake.

Edit: The 'black' looking one is actually Europhoenix, and based on front end is either 37510 or 37601, but can't see which.
I've look on WNXX but I'm new to it so may be missing something.

halp!

thanks

Andrew

The 2 Colas 37's were 37116 and 37421, I saw them about 0830 on Wednesday

Thanks very much! I'd seen that site before but I couldn't find it. Great

Managed to confirm also 37510 as the Europhoenix one, but I am coming up stuck on the blue (DRS compass?) one. I was passing just after 14:30, and according to Class 37.co.uk nothing in that livery had arrived by that time that day. All the ones in that livery that had arrived since the start of August had also worked off somewhere else since. Is there anything stored there, or that might have been there longer? Does anyone know any other way to find out? thanks!

Could it have been a ROG Blue one instead of DRS?

Yes. You might have it! Squinting at the few pixels in my picture I think that's entirely possible. According to a combination of WNXX RTT and Class37.co.uk, if I'm understanding and combining them right, 37611 and 37800 are the only ones in that livery. 37611 was on its way to the RTC but it was still in Worcester at that point. 37800 doesn't show up in any workings since 23rd April, but that was to the RTC. Does anyone know if it is still there?

Thanks for your help all
