Split headcode and large logo liveried Class 37/0 37025 Inverness TMD is seen propelling Mk 2F DBSO 9714 +62384+72630+99666 through Plymouth Station working the 3Z03 2102 Exeter Riverside yard-Penzance Network Rail Test Train on 21st February 2017. Split headcode and large logo liveried Class 37s were always rare this fat west in BR days, so it was a pleasure to see 37025 working a test train to Penzance.

37142
"English Electric Day" on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway on 5th May 2018 featured the line's resident Class 37/0 37142, the first Class 37 to venture into Cornwall, and Class 50 50042 Triumph, wearing BR Large Logo livery with trademark Laira black roof. A credit to the Bodmin & Wenford and hopefully the success of this diesel gala will see further diesel days along the same lines! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM0Nq6f1Mzk
Following repairs, Class 50 50042 Triumph was double-headed with 37142 on the 1620 from Bodmin Parkway on the Bodmin & Wenford. With both under power, the driver having over 4400hp at his disposal, the noise on load four as the pair climb away from Colesloggett Halt was awesome! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H5Ifdwmtts
On 24th April 2016, English Electric Type 3 / Class 37 37142, historically the first Class 37 to venture into Cornwall in 1980 when they replaced the Class 25s in the Royal Duchy, is seen at work during a running day on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in Cornwall, on both the Bodmin General & Boscarne branches. Sounding and looking wonderful! www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3HCRJ6gkcg

Has there ever been three Class 37s on the Moorswater branch before? Needless to see, the sound from these veteran English Electric Type 3s was epic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJaQtI_dGmk
37264
Resplendent in the much adored large logo livery, Class 37/0 37264 leaves Grosmont with the 1330 Grosmont - Pickering working on 19th October 2013.
