I live near King's Lynn and have been interested in trains and buses since I was 4 - am now 50 and according to my work colleagues, should be old enough to know better ! I am particularly interested in heritage diesel locomotives and the First buses fleet.

It was quite a shock at the time to see Anglian stalwart 37075 in this condition, minus its bufferbeam skirts and black headcode panels. It is seen at Whitemoor Jn whilst tripping to and from Peterborough West Yd on 6/10/80 | Class 37 Archive Photos | (919) |

Oh My Word ! What have they done to 027 ? She was displayed in this livery at Glasgow Works Open Day on 27.6.81. Here she sits on the ecs of an Aberdeen train at Queen Street on 8th July 1981. | Class 37 Archive Photos | (610) |

Next to Class 31, the 37s were probably my favourite diesels. The different combinations of headcode panels, buffers etc about in the 1979-85 period were fascinating. Many are shown here in these scans from old prints. More being added as I unearth them.
