Hornby R348B Class 37 37063 in Railfreight Grey plus three Shellstar bogie rail vans.

The Class 37 (aka English Electric Type 3) were produced as part of British Rail’s modernisation plan. They became a very familiar sight across the network, in particular forming the main motive power for InterCity services in East Anglia and Scotland and performed well on other secondary routes and regional services for many years. Despite being over 50 years old, the class are still in use to this day - with over 60 in active use on passenger, freight and departmental duties as well as 30 preserved examples.

Shellstar bogie rail vans were used by the UKF Fertiliser company to transport fertiliser from Ince, Cheshire, to many UK locations. They could be seen in various liveries during the 1970s - 1990s including the later Kemira. These vans were introduced in 1968 and built by Gloucester RCW with curtain sides. However, this was unsuccessful and Chas Roberts rebuilt them to have side doors in 1970 - 71. More were then built with doors from new. The traffic was lost in Jan. 1993 and the vans were scrapped in 1994.
