BR Class 37 No. 37 190
The British Rail Class 37 is a diesel-electric locomotive, also known as the English Electric Type 3. The Class was ordered as part of the British Rail modernisation plan and were numbered in two series, D6600-D6608 and D6700-D6999. The Class 37 became a familiar sight on many parts of the British Rail network, in particular forming the main motive power for Inter-City services in East Anglia and within Scotland. They also performed well on secondary and inter-regional services for many years. The Class 37s are known to some railway enthusiasts as ‘Tractors’, a nickname due to the agricultural sound of the diesel engine of the locomotive. Despite all members of the build now being over 50 years old, over 60 locomotives are still mainline registered and remain active undertaking a variety of passenger, freight and departmental duties on the national rail network. Approximately 30 locomotives have been preserved. BR 37 190 is currently in Margate at The One:One Collection.

BR INTERCITY 47841
CLASS 47 : CO-CO
The BR Class 47 is a diesel-electric locomotive developed by Brush Traction in the 1960s. Between 1962 and 1968, 512 were built at Crewe Works and Brush’s Falcon Works, and many of them have remained in use for passenger and freight trains on Britain’s mainline and heritage railways ever since.
Engine No.47841’s external condition is very attractive but has been used as a source of spares for Locomotive Services Ltd’s fleet of Class 47s, and is highly unlikely to ever run again.
