Hit a tractor between Stonea and March a few years ago

37003 and 37275 at Leeming Bar on the Wensleydale Railway, shortly after '275 received its fresh BR Blue livery on 6th August 2006.

Here are a few pics of the loco during transit from Wigan to Wolsingham.

So, is the newly retooled Bachmann 37/0 accurate or what?!

Here are a few fots I took today of 37003 & 37275 at Leeming Bar for you to compare with the model. Though '003's skirts were added in 1999, they are believed to be identical to those it was built with.

37003 worked a short return trip between Leeming Bar and Castlehills. The planned trip to Redmire was cancelled due to an operational staff shortage so we undertook this daylight test albeit with no passengers on board.

After more than ten years since its last passenger working (July 9th 1994) 37003 finally made its first appearance in private ownership on Saturday 23rd October 2004. It worked a short test trip from Leeming Bar to Northallerton Castlehills and back at 1550. We then pressed her into service with the 1910 to Redmire, returning at 2140. A very emotional day for all involved in making this possible. The C37LG's thanks go out to our volunteers and WR staff, and to thoise members who braved the weather and unsociable start and finishing times! Thanks for a great day.

Here are some pictures of 37003's restoration progress over the last two years since Phil, Mick and myself took over the C37LG.
