THE FIRST Locomotive Services’ Class 37 to be painted in its favoured blackberry black livery, 37521, was outshopped from Arlington Fleet Services in early April. 37667 Flopsie is also at Eastleigh and expected to emerge in the same livery. Both were in BR Green with their D6817 and D6851 numbers.

The livery has already been seen on 57002/302/311 and 90002/026 but other heritage locos in the LSL fleet, such as its Class 20s, 37/4s, 45 and 50, are not expected to go black.
