Locomotive Services' Class 37, 37667 / D6851 pauses with a rake of 15 ex-Caledonian Sleeper Mk3 sleeper coaches in Crewe Diesel.

 

After 92 038 had brought the rake north from Wembley as 5Z91 to Crewe Gresty Green, 37667 collected the stock and took it into the depot. The first five coaches were then detached and shunted into the former mail sidings.

 

Visible in the shot are: 10683 + 10519 + 10543 + 10597. The rest of the rake (out of shot) comprised 10529 + 10565 + 10714 + 10719 + 10513 + 10520 + 10650 + 10648 + 10675 + 10504 + 10688.

 

Nine of the rake are for LSL for use in their charter fleet once refurbed and upgraded, four for onward transfer to the East Lancs Railway (10529 + 10565 + 10714 + 10719) and the remaining two for volunteer/staff accommodation at Telford Steam Railway (10543) and the Ivatt 10000 Recreation Society based at Wirksworth (10597).
