‘37s’ ON BUXTON ICI WORKINGS

I ENJOYED the article on the Buxton ICI stone wagons and workings in the July issue.

I enclose a picture of No. 37168 at Chinley on the ICI hopper empties on March 6, 1981, which we recorded as a Northwich-Tunstead.

My friend and I were surprised to see a Class 37 on this working rather then a ‘25’ or ‘40’, so I wonder when they started using ‘37s’ at Buxton, as this was the first one I saw. Perhaps someone could answer that?
