On the Tanks

            37514 911230 Carlisle Dalston-Grangemouth Tanks

37514 was one of the Class 37/5 sub-class which were rebuilt in the late eighties from standard Class 37 machines.
The rebuild was to extend their lives by providing an alternator in place of the generator and re-geared CP7 bogies for a better traction package.
It is arguable that this made any difference as many standard machines have lasted just as long.
By 1991 37514 was part of the Metals fleet and could be seen throughout the system and is seen here working on a petroleum working, the return Dalston-Grangemouth tanks on 30th Dec 1991 (exactly 22 years from upload date).
Many of us were there that day as we had just arrived with 56134 (and 31418) on the Settle and Carlisle specials being run at the time by Regional Railways to promote the recently reprieved S&C line.
37514 went on to become 37609 and still exists to this day under the control of Harry Needle Railways Ltd.
