What I came for. The real thing
The objective of the exercise. To compare the real thing with the model bought in February. Despite reports that 37025 would either be leading (a top & tail arrangement) or be leading a double header it is, in railway terminology, the train (i.e. 2nd) as opposed to the pilot (i.e. 1st or leading) locomotive making it harder to get a clean shot of it. Apparently this was due to a lack of fuel in its tank so 116 was doing most if not all the work! The locomotive, currently on hire to Colas, belongs to the Scottish ThirtySeven Group based at Bo’ness.
