TALERDDIG TRACTORS

A pair of 37's 37171 and 37155 with the 15.38 Aberystwyth - Shrewsbury head towards the summit at Talerdigg on 20-7-85.

[with grateful thanks to Bushcutta for the above!]

 

These are my feeble attempts at identifying the locos.

Looking at records of pairings of 37's in July and August 1985 the options appear to be: 37235/ 257, 37220/ 227, or 37251/ 224. However the front loco appears to have a Scottie on the side which as far as I can see doesn't match any of them. With my not very good eyesight and general ignorance I would appreciate any assistance on offer.

It is possible this is towards the end of July but I had ruled out 163/176 and 230/303.
