Class 37

The Class 37 is a class of locomotive operated on Ramsgate and planned to be operated on Ramsgate. The locomotives are built by three different companies (not in real life of course)

37415
The newest, and so far best, Class 37 operated on Ramsgate is Bachmann's 37415. It is in Intercity colours and is operated by DB Schenker. It is usually pulling the Intercity carriages on passenger services, undertaking small track cleaning jobs, or stood in the depot next to classmate 37670

37670
The first class 37 to join, Lima's 37670. It is in EWS colours, and operated by DB Schenker.

The locomotive has spent the majority of its time at Ramsgate out of use in the depot due to a faulty motor. When it returned in October 2011 after two months out of use, it replaced 37415 which went out of service for maintenence.

It was in service between 16 August 2010 and 5 September 2010, between 8 July 2011 and 8 August 2011 (when it suffered a major engine failure and had to be rescued by Class 40 locomotive 40152) and Fourth October 2011+. The most of its time IN service has been stood in Ramsgate depot or hauling tours. It is expected to take another step down when 37419 arrives shortly. Speculation has shown that the locomotive could also be withdrawn.

On 28 December 2011, the locomotive caught fire at Ramsgate Airport railway station. The fire was out quickly and the locomotive was dragged to the depot by 70003, which later took over its freight working

37419
Not exactly planned, as it is expected to arrive shortly, but the third Class 37 is expected to be 37419, built by Vi-Trains and in DBS colours. It is expected to partly replace old 37670 which has suffered numerous engine failures.
