    Has any work been done on the two class 37/4's preserved at this railway?

    The group is currently concentrating on getting 47524 up and running, with work on the 37s planned for after completion of this.

    However, the copper fairies have indeed visited, and so the 37s future is now potentially a lot more bleaker.

    what's been 1/2 inched? rad elements, or traction motor cabling? One of the 31s at the ELR ended up getting scrapped because both of them were stolen.
