Until recently this Class 37 was in use with Direct Rail Services (DRS), but following a purge by the freight operator to reduce its 'heritage fleet' even further 37703 was made available, and was one of several locomotives acquired by the Harry Needle Railroad Company. With DRS branding removed the locomotive sports a kind of BR blue livery, although it is the DRS blue basecoat. With the application of a small BR arrow, and its original TOPS number of 37067 (although it is still registered on TOPS as 37703) it blends in quite nicely with the other BR blue liveried locomotives at the 2022 Swanage Railway diesel gala. So, courtesy of the Harry Needle Railroad Company 37703 (37067) approaches Corfe Castle on Saturday 7 May 2022 with 2C16 16:15 Swanage - Corfe Castle shuttle.
NOTE: Taken with the aid of the camera on a pole.
